An Answir to "A Merchant'sDream."

i

The dream of the average mer-chant

Is to pile on Profits good andstrong,

To price his wares and yoursand

Then get the law to help himcatch you wrong.

He glories in Profits, Interestand Rents,

That trio of words coined bythe devil.

To make misery on earth, andto people hell

He laughed to scorn the GoldenRule.

He doffs his hat, and bends hisknee

To the hellish rule of gold.He knows no brotherly love,

His religion, his creed and hisGod is gold,

He cares naught for those whodie of hunger and cold.

Yes, "hell is heaven enoughfor him."

He demands interest of hisfriend,

He collects rents of his neigh-bor,

And takes a profit from hisbrother.

He lazily lounges in his softcushioned chair,

While all around him in unnum-bered thousands

The poor go hungry and coldto bed.

! His dream of profits, interestand rents

Is legalized robbery, that bru-talizes man,

i Estranges him from God andcauses

More suffering, bloodshed anddeath

Than all other causes combined.1 His soul pinched by avarice

and greedWilt continue its downward

journey,Til' en»v.ptured in hell it will

! seeEmblazoned in heroic letters on

, the walls,! "Profits," "Interests,"

"Rents,"I Then it will awake to what

mightHave been had it listened to

Thyself."B. I.

was in Monday in consult-ation withcn attorney, and mak-ing application for a charter forthe Big Creek Telephone Com-pany, a corporation which hasjust been organized in north-western Stokes with a capital ofSIO,OOO. The incorporators areJ. C. Frans, R. W. George, R.L. Nunn, H. F. Wright, MillardCollins, R. E. Smith, Sam Dear-min, J. R. George, and others.

The Big Creek Telephone Com-pany has just recently been or-ganized with R. L. Nunn, Pres-ident: J. C. Frans, Secretary-Treasurer, and the board of di-rectors composed of several ofthe above-named incorporators.Already about 50 telephones havebeen installed, and more will beplaced later.

The people of Quaker Gap areto be congratulated on their pub-lic spirit and enterprising move.Many other isolated sections ofthe county would do well to fol-low suit, and thus get all neigh-borhoods of the county in wirecommunication with each other,as well as putting themselves intouch with the outside world.

Nr. H. H. Reid Suggests Plan ForWorking Roads ?Want a CountyMeeting Called.Danbury Route 1, April 6.

Mr. Editor:Please allow me a small space

in your paper to give some ofmy views on the good roads

auestion. As there is a goodeal being said concerning the

matter, and nothing doing, thereshould be some other sugges-tions made. Now, in the firstplace, we should have a goodroads meeting in the town ofDanbury as early as possible,and try to frame some plan bywhich to commence the work.Now I willsay that I believe thebest and cheapest way to getour roads improved is to hold acounty meeting and talk thematter over, and then let eachneighborhood hold their meetingand allot to each party of thatsection his proportional part ofthe road nearest to him, and lethim work that road when hecan't be plowing on his farm.Now I know we can make ourroads much better by doing asmy plan says, and I for one willpromise that you shall not turnyour wagon over in a mudholein that part of the road assignedto me. Now, brother good roadmen, let me hear from you everyone through the Reporter.
