Opposes Bond Issue. Santuc, Feb. 23?On general pri I ciples I am somewhat shy of helpii ) lo vote bonds, bijr bonds on oth people, on posterity, and will abs lutely vote against them when ih ' are strictly for the other fellow, i. corporations, no matter what t plea is. by that any section of cou try will be built up and develops ! But lor bonds, county bonds, tho f the issue now before us for buil in*r roads, why that is ours. T1 county is ours, the roads are ou und it will be the county, now ai j for a !on<r time to come to pay f them and yet I do not feel that am very enthusiastic for them evi for roads. Every t man or worn: e who owns proper/y will have to pi 'according to property worth. Th ! will be evenly distributed in this ma ' ncr but will the benefits be evn distributed? That is, if the bill | for bonds to build main thorouir fares .n il every one in all parts ; the county must pay, the same bo i efit the man on the main roads r t reive--. ?will not extend to the 01 + on the back branch road- and mni ^ of them will have to haul, but v j must not take it for granted th , everv one hauls to Union and w hit the main road at some point i for any important distance on t! way to and from. The greatest pa 1 of their building will be on par t that this money from the bonds It : never let a copper on. But tl ; other tax money, that which is beii j used on the roads now. may and e; . perhaps he put out there and there! keep the roads up. Then agai Permanent Good Roads is a misnoin for there can he no n rmanent go* roads. If you haul much and rains much they are hound to gi | way and when there is any red slur ? ton. it will he worse th: where it is eight or ten inches ' a good texture of sandy loam co ' ering entirely the red clay suhso And for tjiat reason our Santuc se xi'on will not he as hard to build ' keen un as other sections. We ha1 ; numerous spaces of red roads th cut deep during the past winter ai these \vere mostly where they h: been .washed or worn down to tl I red chvy or subsoil. But I do n ' propose to discuss how to build a .cording to my ideas hut will s: that 1 think we had better find o before we start on sand clay on t 0 main thoroughfares some things v ."how to lower the grades even if tl " ' road is made longer and straighti Th cm when it can he of the greate good to the greatest number. think,the county is badly in debt ai ' to try to make the load Ivavier | well. I don't know. It seems v h we wasted money, have been e travagent. Have misapplied ro: j funds not dishonestly hut there ha' been men who are not worth the hire in the res'peet that they did n ) know how to work a road, and y were holding an overseers job. g ' ing through the form and sometim an exorbitant price was paid on ch an iohn ioh of putting a b< under the road or some such 1 itt joh like' that. T have had to < some smart dodging in the past keen missies hurled at my head b cause of my position along h? from striking. I believe the roai are being improved. They are heir widened, and if we keep on the pe n!e will cooperate with the count he loyal, not try to fleece it n< watch for an opportunity to get r venge for something by suing f< damages. I believe we could g along without bonds awhile, at lea until we pay out more of what \ already owe. Can we not build up hotter system of roadways for cor nip fenerations, instead of huildii op debts for thetm to pay? I thir so. I have not convinced myself y as to what T will do. There are se era| days yet for me to study tl matter, so I can feel sure that I a "ripht, or at least think honestly th 1 am. Soon after I was first o enoucrh to work the roads I was a pointed overseer, without pnv: tl old way. and I am not epotistic when I snv that 1 pave the poun the very best service that there wi in me. 1 did not want a nine and the pay svstem. but as 1 have sa that 1 believe many sou eh t jobs f th? money and to pet it the easie way. regardless of how the conn would fos'? money. The above was drafted before saw any. one else's oninion. hut 1 me say 1 do not believe the stv < f work the chainpanp did injur the roads. Of eourse thev we fre h worked they were softer f sometime hut some of our roa< h"'.*e h on improved a'"d t "'ant the t 1 have a job for them. H, vr llo .V, Commends Union County Man.

Although detained in Europe much longer than she had expected to bo there, the ^nmricati girl said she had not got lonesome. "1 .lit i should have been homesick, terribly, because it is my disposition to get homesick, if it had not been for 1 the things I found in hotel and hoard- , ing house cupboards. No. it wasn't in bottles; nobody left anything of that j kii u behind. What I found was coun- t try newspapers which had been spread on cupboard shelves by American ] girls who had tenanted those rooms , before me. < "They canie from towns in all sections of the I'nited States, those pa- < pers.

The sight of that paper was ] more magical in its effects than enchanted carpets and brass bottles. With incredible swiftness I was transported from the little Austrian Iron- , tier town and set down in the main street of a Virginia village. There , was an ice cream supper 011 at the Masonic lodge. 1 went in. Just across ( the street the Plum family were holding their annual reunion. 1 attended , that, too. Then 1 heard a concert by the local band and spent all my spare , cash at a bargain sale at Floyd's store. "I11 the space of about two seconds j 1 was back in Austria with that blue penciled paper in my hand. The more 1 read the more I wondered how it got tdere. The people iu oar town are not travelers. Some of them go to Richmond once a year, maybe one or two get to Washington, but no farther. Nobody from home had registered at the hotel, yet some previous guest had friends in our town and was sufficiently interested in its doings to receive marked copies of its principal ] paper."

' One hundred years ago, in the brief ' nterval of peace between the downfall >f the Napoleonic empire and the be;inning of the campaign ending at Wa- 1 erloo, the countries of Europe were 1 striving to repair as best they could he ravages of the long wars in which ! he ambitions of the "Little Corporal" tad involved all of them. From the commencement to the close of Natoleon's career, the levies of soldiers ' n France alone exceeded 4,000,000, | tnd not less than 3,000,000 of these ' lerished in the field, the hospital or he bivouac. If to these is added at ' east an equal number out of the ' anks of the allies, it is seen that not ess than 0.000,000 soldiers jterished in ! lie twenty years' warfare. And to 1 hese must be added the thousands of soldiers who perished from want and < xposure and the hundreds of thou- I umds who were subsequently swept 1 iway by tlie ravages of that pestilence < ivhich took its rise amid the retreat < 'rein Itussia, and the crowded garrisons of the campaign of 1831, and for i several years afterward desolated in i succession every country in Europe. i Kaiser's Stud Farm. Po'iltney Higelow, author of "The | Horde i land of Tsar and Kaiser." once paid a visit to the famous royal stud i farm lrom which the Russians now ] claim to have carried off all tho i horses. The farm is situated, ho < says, "in the most favored province of Germany for horse breeding pnr- ] poses, although, geographically consid- t ered, 11 appears to be the most unpropitious .Nearly every farm in Fast j Prussia is devoted to this one occu- , pation, and the German army gets ( many more horses from this little corner than any other province or king- j dom of tlx empire. The war author!- ] ties are. in respect to this branch of ( the government, very liberal; it affects the army directly as well as it j does the country indirectly." t French Statesman and Artist. ( Premier M Viviani, who gave out the answer of France to the German ( ultimatum, is essentially an artist.

Chapman.) Voting Mrs. Raleigh cast a furtive look alter her husband us he disappeared at a run round the corner of the lane. Then she sank down into a chair and had a good cry. They had been married a month, and were in full possession ot their suburban home. "\\ lien we are married, dear, we will live in the country,' her uusband had said to Iter. "No noisy, grimy city streets for us." "Yes, dear," Dora had answered. "And we will have chickens and rosetrees?" Of course, it was possible to procure help from town?not locally, since all the girls drifted iuto the factory, tive miles away, by the screech ot whose whistle the Raleighs set their watches. Hut maids wouv not stay; they generally set down their bags, r ifled, and took their departure. So young Mrs. ltaleigh did her own cooking and sweeping. The chickens died of tlio pip, except three, which died ol' the gapes, and one, a rooster, which Dora had subsequently seen in the backyard of Ilenry Foulkws, the colored man who tried to make tho vegetables grow. The electric light bill was twlow a* high as they had calculated, and gas seemed to cost a dollar a cubic foot. No wonder Mrs. Raleigh had a good cry before she started seeding the grit out of the local grocer's seeded raisius! The hardest thing was to put on an expression of cheerfulness when Henry came liome. That night she dried her eyes and practiced a welcome smile until she could do no better. Then ahe sat under the honeysuckle with her garden hat on, which was the way her husband liked to see her. When at last she saw him coming up the lane she was surprised at his dejected look. And there was no doubt about it?Henry positively slouched! The minute he came within a stone's throw of the front door the slouch disappeared. He appeared spry and springy. He positively reeked with enthusiasm. 'And how have things been going, dearest?" he inquired. "Finely, dearest," answered Mrs. Raleigh. "There is a chance of getting i maid next week, too. Uncle John writes from New York that he is thinking of sending his wife's maid into the country to regain her strength. She has been somewhat run down, you know. Only there's something wrong with the furnace, dear. It* won't draw any more." "It never did draw," said her husband, ruefully. "I guess it's the coal." "So I had to get a cold supper," his wife concluded. They ate their dinner in silence. An evil thought was growing rapidly inside Mrs. Dora's pretty head and she fough' it back for all she was worth. After dinner they crouched over the cheerful oil stove and'stretched out their hands to the blaze. "Dora," said her husband, rather shamefacedly, "1 had lunch with Qriggson today in his new apartment an Riverside drive. He has the cuteet little place imaginable and no trouble with the things that bother us?heating and lighting. Ho laughed at me for a country jay. Naturally he doesn't understand. If he could come home and see you under the honeysuckle?" "It will be tine when it blooms, won't it, dear?" "And the clematis has positively grown. 1 measured it yesterday, and It is ao inch longer than when wo set it in. Well, as I was saying, those poor city fellows don't know what life means. They think it consists cf going to theaters?" "Yes, and having lobster suppers afterward," said Dora Raleigh scornfully. "And taking taxicabs and seeing the cheerful?I mean cheerless lights of the city. And having a lot of noisy people round in the evenings instead >f enjoying the calm and quiet of the country." "And?and going out to supper when they feel like it, and?and seeing the picture galleries, and the park, and?and musical evenings?" said Dora, hysterically. "And not Having to run for trains In Lhe morning," her hsuband continued. 'They don't get the benefit of tho fresh country air. They don't half live. What with their entertainments iiid late hours and friends always iropping in and?" "Henry! Don't!" screamed Mrs. Dora Kaleigh, bursting into hysterical :ears. "Dearest! What is it?" demanded ior husband, lioldlng her in his arms, >vhile a wild light of incredulous hope :ame into his eyes. "1 tried not to?tell you, but I just late the old country," sobbed Dora Kaleigh. "I?wunt?to?get?back to own! There!" "So do I, Dora," whispered her huesand into her ear. "I only came here ;o please you." "To please me, Henry? Why, I :aine hero to please you." "1 bet you don't hate it as much is I do," answered Henry llaleigh. 'Why, I'm just pining for a lobster iupper now." "Well, we'll have one when this nonth ie up," answered Dora. "No wo won't," shouted her husrnnd. '1 mean, yes wo will, hut? isten, Dora!?we'll have one in town onisht also." Garden Seed! We have just the kind you want and they are just as fresh as can be i bought.
