SCHLEY— ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the nineteenth century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna hns upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he s«3 r s it is. The Newspapers and Good Roads- One of the most hopeful signs for the future of Good Roads in North Carolina is the attitude of the newspa pers all over the state toward this pub lic question. Editors, like politicians, live with one ear on the ground to hear the first rumblings of an ap proaching popular uprising; and are the first to detect the qualites that In sure permanency and popular favor to the movements affecting the masses of our population. The good roads proposition has been agitated long enough to enable our people to determine whether or not it is a good thing, and the fact that our newspapers constantly advocate a pro gressive policy along this line is a good indication 6f its permanency as a public question. Several of our leading papers de vote each week considerable space to the subject, and upon any public oc casion when good roads are to be dis cussed, special representatives of the press are sent, sometimes, long dis tances, in order to secure complete and accurate reports of the proceed ings. A few days ago such a meeting was held at Lakeview, in Moore coun ty ,(N. C.) and the leading dailies on the following morning contained a full account of wnat was done there. Upon the publicity afforded by an intelligent press must the advocates of good roads depend for the educa tion and inspiration of our citizens; and it is believed that through this medium —more than any other —will be brought about the ultimate reform in our public road system at present advocated by a rapidly increasing mi nority.—jExrtange. / Ercteart Tbmpson Seton is to con tribute I a seres of articles to the com ing yefcr of The Century, which he calls “tFabieand Wood Myth,” consist ing of 1 ' a number of quaint and sugges tive lftt.hs sketches which will remind the reader somewhat of Aesop’s Fa bles.
