Good Schools and Good Roads.
In Durham county, North Carolina,
whose inhabitants number some
thirty-five thousand, distributed large¬
ly through the rural districts, there
are only forty-one white people who
are illiterate. This remarkable record
is due largely, we are told to the
fact that years ago the community
began developing a system of well
built. and well-kept highways, so that
today the homes and the school
houses are bound each to each by a
continuous chain of good roads.
Hare is a specific and forceful ex¬
ample of truth long recognized by
educators—the intimate relations be¬
tween good roads and good schools
Yet, it is doubtful if the average tax¬
payer fully appreciates this vital con¬
nection, until it is brought particu¬
larly to his notice. The farmer* and
the merchant readily see that each
of them is dependent upon the public
highway" for business facility and pro¬
gress; that a good road links the
farm and the market, encourages
trade and reduces the cost of haul¬
ing. Its commercial advantages are
seen and felt every day, but these
are no less emphatic or far-reaching
than its social advantages and its
keen stimulus to the cause of edu¬
cation and, indeed, to all the higher
interests of a community’s life.
The Southern Good Roads maga¬
zine in commenting on the Durham
county record draws an interesting
contrast between that and a neigh¬
boring county whose people have
thus far been negligent toward their
highways. The latter, we Are told, is
far superior to Durham in respect to
its natural endowments, but it has
not developed anything like an ade¬
quate or permanent system of roads.
The result is that in one of the prin¬
cipal school districts of this county,
which has one hundred and twenty
five children of school age, the aver¬
age school attendance for the month
of December was less than thirty^
Whenever the citizens of a county
are called * upon to vote bonds for
the building of good roads, they
should remember that by so doing
they will contribute not only *o their
material advancement but will also

Missionary Notes.
A hundred years ago, the Bible had
been translated into only sixty-five
languages, now it has been transla¬
ted into more than five hundred,
and is accessible to over eight mil¬
lion people, with its mighty moral
and educational uplift. A century
ago, there were less than one hun¬
dred missionaries in the field; now
there are about twenty-two thousand.
A hundred years ago, a few thousand
were given to foreign missions; now
missionary contributions amount to
about $25,000,000 annually while
about $5,000,000 is given by foreign
converts. It took nearly a century
to win the first million Protestant
Christians. The second million was
won within twelve years. It is tak¬
ing less than six years to win the
third million. This should be the
century of great achievement in mis¬
sions. Today the United States is
the richest nation that is, or ever
has been, on the earth. Her coffers
are filled with treasure. There is in
the hands of professed followers of
Christ, untold wealth. For what has
God lavished all this money upon the
people of this nation? Is it that
they may spend it in selfish, luxu
lious living? Nay, verUy, but that
they may do good with it, uplift fal¬
len humanity, spread the gospel of
salvation over the world, and hasten
the time when all shall know the
Lord, from the least even unto the
greatest. There are so many open
doors that we could enter if we
would, such vast opportunities for
doing good for which God will hold us
individually responsible to the ex¬
tent of our ability. What are you
and I going to do about it? How are
we going to answer the judge in the
great day of accounts, for our wasted
opportunities?

ASK OF RAISING MAINE
CROWNED WITH
The protracted task of raising the
sunken battleship Maine was crown¬
ed with success when the after-sec¬
tion, which was not injured by the
explosion and comprises approximate¬
ly half the total length of the ill
fatted vessel, was set afloat.
Barely enough water was admitted
within the cofferdam to free the
hulk from the mud in which it was
deeply imbedded, but it floats almost
on an even keel, though somewhat
down at the stern and much above
its normal flotation in consequence
of the removal of the heavy weights
on deck, especially the after turret
and its guns. The hull, into which
a bulkhead has been fitted proved
perfectly water-tight.
Major Harley B. Ferguson, chief en¬
gineer in charge of the work, in¬
tends now to cease admitting water
within the cofferdam until the por¬
tions of the shattered forward sec¬
tion of the battleship are removed,
which will be a matter of a few days
After this it will be a simple matter
to admit sufficient water to raise the
hulk to the harbor level.
Three bodies were found this ev¬
ening during an exploration of the
extreme bow* secton of the Maine.
Card of Thanks.
In our sad hour of sickness, kind
neighbors and friends have shown
their sympathy, and help, it seems
beyond limit. We wish to thank each
and every one for all kindness shown
us.
