THE * LEDGER. rhurlow Carter, EDITOR AND MANAGER. WEDNESDAY, JINK 3, llW?. A Fool And His Money. Peoplo who go otT half-cocked often make very great fools of themselves aud realize the fact, to their mortification, when it is too late. When it was telegraphed abroad, a week or two ago, that a white chambermaid had been discharged from a hotel in Indianapolis lor ionising to tnukc up a bed iu which Hooker T. Washington had slept, citizens of various towns in the South, in a burst of admiration, subscribed niotioy to a fund as a testimonial to her stand in behalf of white su-pree-macy, until the collection amounted to about ?20,000. It is not necessary to advert to the fact that Mrs. lladley (that is the name of the chambermaid? has since been robbed of a good portion of her money, but it is interesting to know that she is u divorcee whose ex-husband gives her no good "kerecter,'' and that the story is that she offered no w i ?j v i v /11 iu iiiuiviu^; ?? ?i ii 111 ton's bed until he hud been in the hotel a day but. being reprimanded by the house keeper for some other cause she quit and gave this hs her reason. While it i? true that the Lord loves a cheerful giver, it is also true?us the Sunday school scholar said when he dropped his b'*bwnio in the missionary box ? that a fool and his money are soon parted.?Charlotte ()bserver.

The principle of Federal aid to public roads is identical with the principle of Federal improvement of navigable streams. There is nothing undemocratic about it. It' tlu principle is undemocratic then i! would*follow that roads should la improved by individual effort onl\ ? that the nun who wants a goo< road to travel over, should put ii in condition himself. Hut as wc have taken occasion to say before, do not let us content ourselve? with the hope of eventual Fedora aid. If we do the roads are like ly to become a great deal roughei and muddier than they now are. We should do our full share ol work in the meantime, and \vt will tie better prepared to take advantage of such Federal aid a may ba offered in the future. Yorkville Enquirer.
