Formula for success through work and rest hobby
Ruskin argues success comes from work first then rest and restlessness harms progress. A hobby should occupy mind and hands while body rests, ideally tied to work or revenue future.

Pope cautions too much rest is painful, making hobby a remedy for idle restlessness.

North Carolina Road Tax Sparks Local Spending Debate
The New York Sun reports North Carolina imposes motorist taxes including 3 cents per life and 40 cents per hundredweight for registration plus 6 cents per gallon of gasoline to fund road improvements. Despite 436,952 vehicle-taxpayers last year, the federal department financed much of the upkeep with minimal local input, citing Winston-Salem projects where early outlays exceeded local contributions. Examples include a slave of road work where funds favored a grapevine stretch and separate farm to market and road cleaning projects against modest sponsor sums.
