MAIN STREET ’
LITTLE ROCK «=
The Country Hoy.
The child city born and bred has
fewer opportunities for acquiring a
sound, practical knowledge of the es
sentials of life than the child Ixirn in
the country.
The farmer's boy may not leave the
polish of the city Ixn : lie may not 1*
able to talk so undcrstandingly of the
current events which take place in
tow n: his hands may not lx? so soft and
smooth, and he may not so often think
of how his finger nails look, but of real,
useful, practical knowledge he has ten
times as much as the city boy.
The farmer's l*oy knows the birds,
the lieasts. tlie trees, the various
plants: he can pretty accurately fore
tell the weather, and if lie seesagood
horse or cow lie knows it.
He is a good judge of character, and
later on in life he w ill not lx* readily
taken in by sharpers and frauds. Say
what you like about the “old hay
seeds." they are not half so green as
they look.
The farmer's 1 >oy is courageous, for
his daily life leads him into more or
less danger, lie must climb the t rees
fur the nuts and apples, and climbing
gives him agility and self-confidence.
He •breaks" the colt his father gave
him.'and lie has a horse it is a pleas
ure to ride after, lie raises his own
liens and chickens, and when he eats
the custard his mother makes for him
there is no flavor of antiquity alxiut
them.
He breathes the purest air that lies
out of doors. He feels the sunshine
fresh from the eternal fount and not
held in solution by clouds of smoke or
gases from some poison distilling man
ufactory. He is alive and thorough,
lie has a jolly good .time in life, and
bye and bye when he has made his
millions in some stuflycountinghouse
lie will look to his life on the farm
with a regret that is akin to pain.
lie will recall the rocky lulls where
the maples yielded their hearts' blood
in the glowing spring, and the sugar
camp where the luscious sweetness
bubbled in the great vats, and the
girls from the neighboring farms
came up in the moonlit nights to help
at the “sugaring off.”
The life of a farmer's boy may have
restrictions: it may hold its full share
of hard work: but work is a glorious
tiling when the ability to perform it
is given. Work, which so many worth
less scions of effete aristocracy affect
to lie horrified at. is (iod-ordained. It
strengthens and develops a man men
tally. morally and physically. The
man who can work has a comfort in
time of trouble, and a staff upon
which to lean in adversity.
I.et no living person decry the coun
try. To live in a pure atmosphere, to
see daily unfolding before the eye won
derful problems of the seasons old,
but ever new: to watch the sunrise
and the sunset tinge the mountain
tops with the light no artist's brush
can ever imitate: to love the gentle
animals and the singing birds which
are ever around the child of the coun
try why. it is but a step to the per
fection which we hope may come to
us when the glad new life opens up to
us in the Mystical lfeyond. Farmer's
Voice.
Are You Engaged?
Engaged people should remember,
that, after marriage, many quarrels
can be avoided, by keeping their di
gestions in good condition with Elec
tric Hitters. S. A. brown, of Ben
nettsville. S. ('..says: “For years, my
wife suffered intensely from dyspep
sia, complicated with a torpid liver,
until she lost her strength and vigor,
and Uranic a mere wreck of her for
mer self. Then she tried Electric
Hitters, which helped her at once, and
tinally made her entirely well. She
I is now st rongand healthy.” All drug*

Rivers and Harbors and Hood
Roads.
The advocates of tlie Brownlow
Latimer Good Roads bills are not
afraid of criticism. In fact, it is ex
actly what they desire, as it will aid
in getting the matter before the peo
ple in discussion that will develop the
strength of the question. One of tlie
strongest arguments in favor of na
tional aid to good roads is that based
on the river and harbor appropriations.
The only questions seriously discussed
when a river and harbor bill comes
up in Congress are the amount to lie
voted and for what particular im
provement the money is to lie. spent,
tin general policy lieing already thor
oughly established. Congress has in
the past fifty years voted more than
*tOO.(H\UkH) for this purpose, and now
an annual appropriation of #2'»,000,000
is looked upon as quite conservative.
The advocates of national aid to road
improvement claim that much more
‘‘an Ih* said in favor of their proposi
tion than in favor of river and harbor
legislation, and much less against it.
Both come under tlie general class of
"internal improvements." The gen
eral argument in favor of river and
harlior improvements may tie summed
UP as follows: (1) They promote the
general welfare. (2) The improve
ments entail an expense too heavy to
tie borne by the people of the locali
ties most directly interested, and
Bence would never be made if tlie
government refused to foot the bills.
1 lie same arguments apply w ith equal
force to tlie improvement of the pub
lic highways. Certainly no hind of
Improvement would do more to pri»
mote the prosperity and the moral
and intellectual upbuilding of the
masses, it is also equally certain that
this great work of internal improve
ments will remain undone, to a great
extent, if the whole burden of ex
pense is left to lie carried by the peo
pleof rural neighborhoods. More than
a hundred years of experience in most
of the older States sufficiently demon
strates this fact. In truth, no general
progress is being made except in four
or five wealthier States which adopted
the State aid plan.
The policy of voting Federal aid to
road improvement has three great ad
vantages over that of voting funds
for river and harlior improvements, as
follows:
First - While the mone> voted for
the latter purpose is collected from
the whole people by taxation, it is
necessarily expended in limited locali
ties, the Inhabitants of which receive
the greater part of the benefits. In
fact, a great majority of the people
of the i'nitedStates receive no direct
and hut little indirect benefit from
these improvements. < >n the other
hand, a Federal appropriation for road
improvement would be available in
any section. Every State and county
could share in the direct benefits,
while large indirect benefits would
come to the people of all cities and
towns.
Second the benefits flowing from
an appropriation for rivers and har
bors are strictly limited to the amount
of money voted, as no help is required
from the local communities. Hut the
Hrownlow-Latimer plan merely con
templates that the government shall
help those people who are willing to
help themselves. No community could
have any part of the government aid
until et had raised a share of the
funds equal to its quota of the gov
ernment fund. Thus a Federal ap
propriation for this purpose would
produce tx-netits far beyond the limits
of the amount voted.
Third Nat ional aid to road improve
ment would lx; free from the "log
rolling" features of river and harbor
legislation which so often injuriously
affects other important matters in
Congress. This is true, because the
fund would be equitably distributed
according to a general plan, 'i’he gov
ernment would simply make available
a sum of money, an equitable share
of which could be secured by any State
or county complying with certain
specified conditions. It is difficult to
see how any member of Congress can
logically vote for a river and harlxir
bill and refuse to support an appro
priation to aid in improving the high
ways of the country.
