THE VERY BEST OF GOOD ROADS
Dr. Staley Tells the Story of the Good
Work Done by Those Progressive
Miles of the Seventy
in the Township Constructed.
The very first work done at the
mass meeting of the citizens of this
township for the purpose of devising
ways and means of improving the
roads of Greenville township was
the adopting practically of the Frank-
township road law. Changes
had to be made to suit local
but the Franklinton township
road law is to all intents and
poses the Greenville township road
law.
We publish below a letter from a
citizen of Franklinton township, writ-
ten to the News and Observer, and
commend it to the careful attention
or the people of Greenville town-
ship.
To the
Please one in good
roads to express a few facts con-
new roads in Franklinton
township, Franklinton county, North
Carolina. Under the old system of
keeping roads this township tugged
along highways more expensive to
the average taxpayer than interest
on bonds to build good roads. The
good spirit finally got into this
township and by a majority vote it
was decided to issue bonds for forty
thousand dollars to improve the
roads; and five-sevenths of the roads
have already been completed; and the
work has gone for enough to prove
the wisdom of the movement and the
efficiency of those who have had the
work in charge.
The executive committee was com-
posed or S. C. Vann, B T. Green and
C. S. William's, has
ginning. Mr. Vann is a cotton man-
Mr. Green is a land-owner
and bookkeeper for Sterling Cotton
Mills and Mr. Williams is a large
land-owner and good farmer. These
gentlemen have given their time and
thought to the work without
and have given it the same
attention as they give their own
They have so managed the
end of this public trust as to
heighten the average man's estimate
of the management of public
There has not only been no criticism
from any source of the manner in
which the expenditures have been
made, but the money has been so
wisely and so honestly handled as to
set a new standard of public economy
and safe use of public funds.
The engineer was W. T. of
Harrisonburg, Virginia, and his work
has been very carefully and success-
fully performed. Old roads were
entirely and often miles were
laid out without touching the old
lines. The township is very hilly and
hence the new roads in many parts
are very crooked, though the curves
are beautiful and make the drives
more picturesque and delightful. Many
small streams and Tar river thread
the township, and hence many bridges
had to be constructed. Fifty miles
of the seventy have already been con-
and eleven but
one built of steel or concrete abut-
and piers. Mulligan
has had charge of the construction
force and he has proved himself
capable of executing the plans of the
civil engineer. The roads are con-
of clay and gravel on a
grade nowhere larger than four per
cent. No material has been purchased
beyond the township limits, except
the steel for bridges, mules and ma-
chines. The people appreciate the
hope of good roads and have such
confidence in the committee and the
engineer that no land damage has
had to be paid. A few crop damages
have been paid, though many farm-
have seen vineyards, orchards and
go without charge. Now and
then a man has objected to going
across his field or raking off his gray
soil for top dressing; but a little
reasoning has convinced him of the
benefit to his farm by a good road
and has and
had charge of the work from the be-
proud of what he has done.
As said above, fifty miles of road
and eleven bridges have been con-
and, when the full seventy
miles in the township are finished,
there will be money in the treasury
from the bond issue and all
the work paid for. Thus it appears
that the not cost over
per mile, and they are as good as any
in the state.
Before writing this, I took a spin
over enough of the roads in an
and examined enough of the
bridges to know whereof I write. Be-
sides this, I go over three and a half
miles of this road from my farm to
Franklinton. It is almost level and
as solid as a street.

el roads, with bridges on same grade

graft, pay. and political pull,

they have amassed their wealth. No

Farmers, listen I want to call
your attention to what you already
know as well as the writer, not for
the purpose of information, but to
suggest thought and action.
The cotton harvest is upon us. In
a few weeks the fiendish market will
be seeking to fill its great maw. The
bears have gained every vantage
ground and are hilarious with the
anticipated carnival. Up to this time
the government crop reporters have
either carelessly, or with intention,
magnified the condition. The sum-
ming up of their last fictitious per-
indicates a crop of nearly
fifteen million bales. It was exceed-
unfair to the farmer for the
government to give out this report
before the vital statistics for the
month of August were in. Nothing
could be more unreliable. August
more vital this than ordinarily.
Failing in the earlier months, on ac-
count of the drought, cotton was ex-
when the rains came, to lay
on a full crop in August. August
has been disappointing. The last
fifteen days have witnessed the great-
est deterioration in the cotton crop
ever hope of August
blasted It has not only laid on
a crop, but has dropped most that it
did take on the first few hopeful
days of the month. This condition
is well-nigh universal where are
the fifteen million bales to come
from
The report served the
bear speculators and the spinners a
good turn. They have Inaugurated
a strong campaign and are deter-
mined to buy the bulk of this crop
for muck less than its value. They
have interested a delegation of South-
and representatives who
are now advising the dear farmer to

these senators and representatives.
Farmers have been imploring them
for years to knock out this
gambling In cotton futures.
They sit by with idle indifference and
report will the tale and
will determine the crop. Cotton is
maturing early. In little more than
three months it will all be ginned
Wait
What about the cotton seeds Don't
give them away. For two years the
mills have been giving us a ton of
meal for a ton of seed, and in some
instances more. There is just as
much oil, meal and hulls In a ton
of seed today as there was then and
whatever the price this exchange Is
fair. Cotton oil will, however, be
in great demand. No more corn, if
as much, on account of the drought,
will be harvested this year than last.
That will mean no more fattened
hogs, no more lard. Cotton oil will
be in demand for lard-making and
other culinary purposes.
Do you want cash for your seed
Keep them on a parity with meal.
That is, sell a load of seed for enough
cash to buy the same weight of meal.
At this rate if meal is per ton
seed should bring cents a bushel.
If meal is seed should bring
cents. Don't be misled by the offer
of low-priced meal early in the sea-
son. It is done to get your seed at a
low price. Better take the meal.
If you want it later, you will pay
well for it.

act.

FARMER TAKES ISSUE
WITH COTTON EXCHANGE
LIVERPOOL RULING.
Six Per Cent of Weight or SO Pounds
on Each
WINTERVILLE, N. C, Sept.
Editor
have noticed in several of the late
issues of your paper an article from
the Cotton Ex-
change relative to what they term an
excessive use of bagging in wrap-
ping cotton, and ruling that
would be made on any bale of
cotton having more than pounds
of bagging and ties; also advising
that just claims and
will be made on any bagging
weighing more than 1-2 pounds.
It is an established fact that Liver-
pool rules and regulates the tare of
American cotton and that per cent,
of the gross weight, or pounds on
each pounds, is allowed.
Now, I should like to know where
the Cotton Ex-
change has right or power to
rule that pounds of bagging and
ties be the maximum weight for a
500-pound bale of cotton.
The cotton buyers in the great
of trade have fixed the price
upon the basis that per cent, of the
entire weight of all the cotton is de-
ducted for tare.
Therefore, if we put only pounds
of bagging and ties on a 500-pound
bag of cotton, and G per cent, of the
gross weight, or pounds, is allow-
ed for tare, it is plainly seen that
we lose of the cotton we
have labored to produce.
Fellow farmers, are we to follow
the dictations of the fellow at the
other end, and be like sheep to
the and not resent the in-
justices being perfected upon us As
there is no law in this state
the amount of bagging and ties
to be used on a bag cotton, will
the courts of North Carolina sustain
the cotton buyers in deductions they
may make, where the maximum weight
does not exceed per cent, of the
gross weight of the bale The mat-
will bear investigating.

gathered enough big, juicy tomatoes
to fill more than cans, and they
brought her a good price, because the
fruit was the best and was free of

A Tribute to
The Laboring Man.
The cause of union labor has its
foes as well as its followers. While
the various unions throughout the
country number their members by the
hundreds of thousands, there are some
people who believe they are a greater
hindrance than help to the working
man.
We do not by any means want to
enter into a discussion of the merits
of unionism here, but every fair-
minded person must admit that the
organization of laboring men has
brought about certain benefits, such
shortening the working day,
the type of our skilled labor,
etc.
But the cause of union labor is real-
secondary to that of the laboring
man, and we must all admit that the
man who toils is largely responsible
for the growth and greatness of our
country. The setting aside of one day
a year is a splendid and most worthy
tribute to all workers and Labor day
today ranks in importance with the
other national

GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS.
Plant Some Tobacco Laud In Crimson
Clover.
During the past several years I
have urged the tobacco farmers to
plant some of their land in crimson
clover as a means of making a good
quality of early hay, at the same
time improving their land and fur-
abundant grazing for milch
cows and hogs during the early
spring. Any farmer can take a small
piece of tobacco land after the to-
has been taken off, cut down
the stalk, break the land thoroughly
and harrow it until it is in fine con-
and secure a few bushels of
dirt to the acre from a field where
crimson clover has been grown, spread
this broadcast upon the land, and
sow from twelve to fifteen pounds of
clover seed to the acre, and have a
fine winter and spring pasture, be-
sides a ton and half of good hay if
cut. The crimson clover will ripen
and should be taken from the land
in time to plant a corn crop the same
year. I have had a piece of land that
I have improved with crimson clover
that would not make over ten bush-
els of corn to the acre ten years ago.
I can now get from forty to sixty
bushels.
The trouble is in getting the soil
inoculated in the beginning. I have
grown successfully crimson clover
and will be glad to supply any farm-
sufficient soil to inoculate his
land.

WANTS BANKERS TO GIVE BOND.
Wilmington Wants Security From Its
Banks for Its Funds.
At a special called meeting of city
Council held at o'clock today
at the city hall an important
was adopted, the tenor of which
is to the effect that on account of the
failure of local banks to give bond for
the security of funds deposited with
them, as provided for in Section
of the Act of the general assembly
passed at the 1911 session, Council
declares that any obligation Imposed
thereby in regard to deposit of said
funds is no longer binding. Therefore
the Councilman in charge of finance
is directed to make any such arrange-
as he may see fit for handling
the funds of the city and report his
action to Council for conformation.

It curiously happens that the same

The value of the human being is

GOOD ADVICE
TOM FARMERS
ABOUT VIM Kit CROPS.
Suggestion As To Are Best
And How To Hum.
The unprecedented which
prevails in some sections of the state
is an object lesson as to the value of
organic matter or humus in the soil,
as It is a well known fact that in ad-
to other desirable qualities de-
matter or humus in-
creases the holding capacity of
all soils.
For the protection of the soil and
to provide against tie disastrous
of a possible drought next sum-
mer farmers should put in winter-
cover crops. The best crops for this
purpose are the clovers, and
small grain crops. On land where
the clovers and vetches will grow
successfully they are better than rye
or other small grain crops, but where
they will not grow it will be
able to sow rye.
For best results these crops should
be put in as quickly as possible, es-
in the western part of the
state. Prepare the land by disking
and harrowing and sow pounds
clean crimson clover seed per acre,
and if convenient. also
pounds acid phosphate per acre, as
that will help insure a stand of
clover. Some sow in addition to this
one pound of turnip seed per acre,
preferably the variety, claim-
that the turnip leaves protect
the young clover plants in their
stages. It can do no harm to sow
the turnip seed as these crops are
intended to plow under next spring
to improve the soil.
The seed should be covered with
a cultivator or with a harrow about
one inch deep. In the western part
of the state these should be put in at
once so as to make sufficient growth
to withstand the winter. In the
part of the state they should be
put in not later than the last of
while in the eastern and
warmer sections of the state they can
be put in as late as the middle of
October.
In the coastal plain section bur
clover is also fine for a winter-cover
crop. The seed of this usually
purchased in rough or bur and should
be planted at the rate of from three
to four bushels of the burs per acre,
and covered about one inch deep.
These should go in at once. Acid
phosphate can be used with these to
Hairy vetch also makes a line
winter-cover crop, and will succeed
in almost any part of the state on
well drained land, especially where
partridge of mountain peas grow. If
sown alone sow at the rate of
pounds per acre, and if with rye or
other small grain, one bushel of small
grain and pounds of vetch per
acre. They should be sown at about
the same time as crimson clover and
covered from one to two inches deep.
Where none of these crops will
grow successfully sow rye at the
rate of one and a half bushels per
acre. You want a heavy growth to
protect the land and to add a great
quantity of vegetable matter when
turned under next spring.
Turn under two or three weeks be-
fore you wish to plant the crop which
la to follow. Rye especially, should
not be permitted to get woody before
turning under. Bettor turn It under
as soon as the heads begin to
than to wait until it is grown.
If it gets full grown and dry weather
follows it would leave the land so
open and loose that the crop follow-
would suffer more than if no rye
was put on the land.
All these crops should be disked
well and thoroughly cut up before
plowing under next spring. Good re-
may be expected only when
they are well mixed with the soil be-
fore the crop is planted.
If any one doubts the benefits to
be had from these winter-cover crops
lot him prepare one acre of average
land and treat it as described above.
Next spring plant another acre by
the side of it that has had no winter-
cover crop and cultivate both alike.
One demonstration like this will usu-
ally convince a person of the value
of winter-cover crops.
Seed for any of the above-mention-
ed crops can be had from almost any
reputable but buy only the
best and freest from impurities. The
best are none too good.

DR. LOCATES HERE.
Has Office In The Edwards
Building.
Dr. Thomas G. has located
Greenville and occupies a suite of
offices in the Edwards building on
Evans street, just north of the court
house.
Dr. is not unknown to a
great many people of Pitt county, as
he practiced medicine at Stokes
years, at which place he was
held in high esteem and enjoyed a
large practice. He comes to Green-
ville for a larger field and Greenville
is fortunate in being selected by him,
as he had flattering inducements
from a number of places wanting him.
He is a native of Washington county
and was educated at the University
of North Carolina, where he then took
a two course in medicine, then
going to the University of Maryland,
where he finished the four
course, graduating in 1904. On one of
his vacations while at the latter
he spent the summer in the
Mercy hospital, Pa., doing
general work. In 1905 he located at
Stokes, where he remained until some
months ago, when he went to the
University of Maryland to take a post
graduate course.

Y. V REPLIES TO
MR. MANNING'S ARTICLE
MISUNDERSTANDS BO AD BILL.
Sand-Clay Roads A Success When
Properly Cared For.
Editor
Replying to the article by Mr. James
T. Manning in regard to the
of the money derived from the
road tax in Greenville township, I
will say, that the bill provides for a
levy and collection of the tax, and
states how it shall be used on the
roads in Greenville township. Sec-
of said bill no
other road tax shall be levied and
collected in Greenville
This, it seems to me, is a complete
answer to Mr. Manning.
This brings strongly to the
of those interested in this dis-
the fact that a study of the
bill and the conditions will remove
much misunderstanding.
There is one other question that is
answered by the bill. It has been
said that if Pitt county had a general
road tax that although Greenville
township had voted bonds for roads,
it would have to pay in addition to
its own bond that for the whole
county. Read section of the bill.
If the legislature can make a
rate district of Greenville township
for one purpose can it not for an-
other If the legislature can
rate the township from the county
for a special tax, can it not separate
it from the county for a general tax
Mr. Manning complains of the sand-
clay road. To me it is wonderful
that anything could be of the service
this piece of road has been without
receiving more attention than it has.
The United States government ex-
perts say that the sand-clay road is
a success when properly constructed
and kept up. This road has not even
had the surface smoothed nor the
drains opened since the time it went
through the process of mixing, all
of which is due to the fact that we
have no system for road work. Give
the road a fair chance.
Mr. Manning says somebody is try-
to fool the farmers; the writer
of this article is trying to do what
he can to keep anybody from be-
fooled. This writer is standing
on the facts to justify his cause, hop-
to eliminate all personality by
signing Y I believe that all
Interested in the road question should
study it from a business point of
view, as was said in the first article.
Let us not be fooled by any one
who Bays the other is trying to fool
us, but study the conditions and the
law.

RALEIGH YEARS AGO.
Then Had Less Than Five Thousand
People.
Mr. H. L. Coward has shown us
some old newspaper clippings that
were taken from an issue of the
Register, printed in 1858, fifty
three years ago. which he found put
away in an old family Bible coming
down to him from his ancestors. One
of these clippings that impressed us
very much was about the population
Raleigh at that time, showing that
away back in those days, even as
now, there was contention over the
number of people the towns had. This
clipping stated that the commission-
of Raleigh had just had a census
taken, and much to the surprise of
everybody, the population was only
while it was thought to be be-
tween seven and eight thousand.
In those days when but few of the
counties had newspapers, legal ad-
had to be sent to the
Raleigh papers, and we noticed one
from Pitt county among these clip-
pings from the Register.

According to Dr. Harris this dis-

were passed that pellagra would be
unknown in Georgia in five years.

Be Succeeded By Thorough
Music Instructors.
Miss Olive Gaston, the former
teacher of music at the graded school,
has resigned, much to our regret. We
did everything we could to induce
her to return, but she felt that
was needed at home, and we could
not re-engage her for this year.
I believe the people of Greenville
agree with me fully when I say that
there are few more teach-
of music than Miss Gaston. In
the four years in which she has been
one of our number, the people of the
community have had the advantage
of having their children instructed
by one of the best teachers to be had.
The school of music has been built
up to an extent that makes it a very
necessary adjunct to the school.

while there. He is now Dean of the
School of Fine Arts at Northwestern
Reserve University, in Illinois. I
wrote to him, explained fully the
position we have, told him we must
have a teacher to follow Miss Gaston,
and asked him to name one or two
of his former pupils who could do
the work. After some delay, he re-
plied, as
Miss have been trained
in the same methods, and we are

competent instruction, fully in line
with what We have done during the

My dear Mr. Miss Ruth
has written you regard-
the position you wrote me about,
and I will tell you of her.
She is a very fine young woman,
refined, cultured and has a pleasing
personality. Miss
is a minister. She plays piano
well, sings well, and she can teach
piano and voice with credit to her-
self and to the school. She had
the full course In school music, in-
high school work, psychology
music teaching, etc. She has also
had a. good deal of experience in
teaching music.
In thinking the matter over, I have
carefully considered the fact that
Miss Gaston is to be followed, and
that the person will inevitably be
measured by Miss Gaston's work and
personality, hence I have tried to
use much care in recommending a
teacher to you.
I find Miss very highly
spoken of in every course of hen
work; in every relation, socially, as
to character, etc., she is considered
an exceptional student and worker.
I don't believe I can find any better
possibility among the students of my
acquaintance, and I can unreservedly
recommend her to you.
Very sincerely,
W. A. WHITE.

then attempted to criminally assault
his wife, who was sleeping in another

When the first entered the

then attempted to assault Mrs. Tolar.
She could feel his kinky hair on her
face as he attempted to chock her.
By some means she got his
off her throat and by screaming
scared the brute away before he
could accomplish his purpose. Mrs.

his own blood. She grabbed up her

A WORTHY EXAMPLE.
Three Years Ago Noted for Bad Roads

township, Moore county,
should be an object lesson to the
people of the whole South. Three
years ago the township was noted
for its roads. Today ac-
cording to from John R.
road supervisor, the town-
ship has nearly seventy miles of
proved roads, money in the treasury
to build more, money coming with
the taxes soon due, and the sinking
fund to provide for the bond issue
already reduced the bonded debt
incurred at the beginning of the
road-building period.
When the township decided to try
for good roads it was proposed to do
the work with the taxes. This was
sufficient to show what a good road
signified. Then a bond issue of
was voted. From that bond is-
sue the present mileage has been con-
and of the debt has
been paid from the funds
lated in the sinking fund. The debt
will be wiped out in a few years,
eight or ten at the most, and the in-
creased value in property will give
an increase in taxes that will put the
township on an entirely different
plane.
J. E. Buchan, in a speech on the
subject of good roads at Raeford re-
said that not a farm in
Neill's township was more than two
miles from a good road at the pres-
with roads still pushing in all
directions, while four years ago most
farms scarcely knew what a good
road meant. The township is big,
and not within a day's travel of a
passable road when the movement
begun. Now it is one of the most
agreeable sections of the South to
travel in wagon, buggy or
bile. The difference in the life of
the people is astonishing. New airs
thrift and interest spring up,
is on an entirely new basis, farms
have a different appearance, and the
general stimulus to everything is be-
measure.
The results in are most
accurately measured by the vote for
road bonds taken recently In Sand
Hills township adjoining. Sand Hills
has been like without roads
But when the vote was taken it was
almost unanimous in both precincts
for a bond issue, and already the
township is getting good roads, the
equal of those of
Never was a more complete con-
version. Those who opposed good

Tobacco arming, present and
is probably engaging the at-
of the of Eastern
North Carolina more just at this time
than ever before. The all-important
and perplexing question of labor is
one that must be solved by each in-
farmer, and those of us who
have had experience, hesitate before,
going tOO last in the preparation of
land without adequate labor supply,
especially the preparation tor a to-
crop, The farmers of this sec-

for the past several years
have expressed themselves very
freely dining the last, few months, and
many of them seem to be growing
tired of tobacco culture unless great-
inducements In the way of high
prices are offered them for the crop.
The high price of cotton and its
comparative easy culture, requiring
less skilled labor and less attention,
will largely take the place of tobacco
culture in this section, unless the
get what they consider profit-
able prices for their tobacco. There
has been more concern expressed
about the question this year than
ever before. Ten years ago, a crop

of growing tobacco, and while in my
particular case, it may cost me more
money to make a crop of tobacco than
i; does the average farmer, yet I am
constrained to that the ma-
of farmers in Eastern North
will agree that my figures
are not far from correct. Ten years
ago an average crop of tobacco could
be made and marketed for an aver-
cost of fifty-five to sixty dollars
per acre. My experience last year
and this has been that it will cost
front seventy-five to ninety dollars
per acre, depending largely upon lo-

Southern Midnight Train
Huns Into Open Switch.
The midnight express of the Nor-
folk Southern ran into an open switch
at New Monday night about
it being due there at
Engineer Dunn stuck to his post and
escaped unhurt, his fireman, Ed
Watson, colored, jumped and
slight injuries. None of the
passengers were hurt. The engine
almost turned completely over. The
front part was completely torn away,
the front trucks were knocked from
the engine, and she lay this morning
deeply buried in the dirt and mud.
The track was torn up, the cross ties
so badly demolished that it was
to put new ones down, the rails
were twisted as if they were nothing
more than wire.
One or two flat cars and about the
same number of gondolas on the
were so badly torn up that they
are fit only for the scrap pile.
It is believed that some one
intended to wreck this train.
The which is supposed to
warn the engineers as to whether or
not the switch is open, was found
over in a field behind ft clump of
bushes.

St mis In Upper Story and Goes
Through Several Rooms.
During a storm Monday afternoon
lightning cut quite a caper at the
home of Mr. J. G. Taylor, near Sta-
ton's. It struck the house in one of
the corner boxes under the eves, run
down into one of the second story
rooms splintering a poet as It went,
then switched across to another room
where it split open one post and a
bedstead. Then it dropped down In-
to a room on the first floor, where
it knocked some of the enamel off of
an iron bedstead. From this room it
went through the floor and followed
a sill under the house to the outside
of the building, where it went to the
ground on a lightning rod. The track
of the lightning all through the build-
could be easily traced by the
signs it left.
Another remarkable thing is that
while several members of the family
were in the house, not one of them
was injured. Mrs. Taylor had some
goods on the bed in the lower room
and was leaning over this cutting
out a garment when the bedstead was
struck, and it did not even shock her.
There was a tremendous rain
the storm.

a fact that the poor connections
made are an inconvenience to the

Editor
I will give what I think is a fair
estimate of the loss or damage to my
five acres of tobacco by the hail of
August 20th. Have already sold what
was left of it. There was pounds
beaten off on the ground. About
pounds of this was dirt, leaving
pounds of tobacco at cents. It
should have brought at least to
cents if it had not been damaged in
this way, so from leaves cents
loss on the Then
we sold 1,496 pounds at cents, which
was a loss of from to cents, say
and we have loss on this
lot. There was a loss in actual weight
of perhaps pounds, the butt end
of many leaves broken and left on
the stalks, here we have a loss of
say Summing up we have
total,
This Is the estimated loss on our
hired crop of acres. Our tenants
had about or acres but some
of their crops were not damaged so
much, as they were nearer done
on account of not having so much
replanted tobacco as myself. I had
a better stand, having replanted more
times and they.
One thing peculiar about the sale of
hail damaged tobacco was that
but one buyer would have it at all,
that it sold cheap. It being large-
tips and badly torn it could not
be stemmed.
The area covered by this hail was
very small, not but or yards
wide and not so much more than
double that length.
