two mouths ago some mis-

purposes are only degrading the
masses they supposed to benefit.
I had expressed this opinion so often
that I was amazed that anybody
should ask me to countenance a
benevolent scheme by buying tickets
a ball. Naturally, I hastened to
send the tickets back. I put them Into

Free Duty -Not Applicable la
Township That Issues

Of Heads
There has been much discussion
some controversy over the effect of the
bond issue on free road labor, and to
clear the matter as much as possible
v-c call your especial attention to the
few following
The old system of the pub-
roads six days during the year was
enacted Into law about the year
and haw been handed down to us, and
remains with us today only as a
to our feeble of Justice and
in development. Such a law
should be repealer for the entire
but an attempt to do so during the
last session of the legislature met with
failure, and the best that could be ac-
in this line was to a
law requiring five days free labor, but
with in that law that kept
It from applying to any township that
issued bonds. The provision in the
law that requires a special tax of
twenty-live cents and live days labor
is as
That act shall not
apply to any township having issued
that may hereafter issue bonds tor

Its
If after reading the above there is
anyone who believes we will still have
to operate under the laws of 1908 even
we pass the bond Issue, and that
road duty cannot be relieved under this
law, we refer them to Section
of the Public Laws of reads
as
That this act shall not
repeal or change the present system
of roads in Pitt County, ex-
that if the Commission-
of Pitt County deem it advisable
they may put the overseers of the
roads of Pitt County and the manner
and method of working the roads of

supervision of the road supervisor

The above section clearly gives the
county commissioners all of the power
necessary to do away with free road
duty even if the bond Issue never
been submitted, nor the law of 1913
requiring twenty-live cents special tax
end five days free road duty never
pasted, So that with the special tax
law passed and the bond issue adopt-
ed there can no longer be any doubt
that the farmers of Greenville town-
ship will be relieved of the road duty.

number of principal business
men of tho town, and tho Idea Is
gaining support by almost every per-
son who Is approached In regard to
it.
Those who realize what It means
to have running through It such a
great thoroughfare as this would
finally be, will readily see why the
business men of the town are so
greatly Interested in the proposition.
A number of the men of the town
have been seen in regard to the
and they have all entered into
the movement with the greatest en-
An effort is being made
to secure a party to attend the con-
of the North Carolina Good
Roads Association which meets in
Morehead City tomorrow and Friday,
and which will have much to say, and
many plans to lay out In the inter-
est of highway.
The central highway Is a road that
will extend from the mountains to
the seashore, leaving the Blue Ridge
a point considerably further west
than and touching the At-
Coast at Morehead City. Gov-
Locke and a party of
good roads enthusiasts are this week
making tho trip from to
Morehead City In an automobile, and
are traveling over the proposed route
of tho highway. Tho original pro-
who will decide the course
have not made any decision as to the
route that la to be followed
across Eastern North Carolina and
It Is believed that If the people of
this town will become Interested In
the matter as they should, that the
officers of tho Association can he per-
to bring the road through this
town and county.
The president of the Association
which has this work in hand the
statement a few days ago that if the
business men of Greenville would go
to work in the matter, they would
be able to bring the through
this section. And, it Is for this
pose that a delegation Is being form-
ed to a trip to Morehead City
tomorrow and Friday for the purpose
of being at the big good roads
convention and pressing tho claims
of this town. It It believed by the
enthusiasts that this is another
opportunity that Is knocking at the
door of tho town, and which, If heard,
will bring here hundreds and possibly
thousands of travelers every year.
Among those who signified

For May
During May the railways of the
United States received for their
vices to the public an average of
a day; it cost to run their
trains for other expenses of op-
. a day; their taxes
were a day; their
income a day for the
miles of line reporting, or
at the rate of 18.93 for each mile of
line for each day. Thus for every
dollars of their earnings
remained available Oar rentals,
ten t on bonds, appropriations for
betterments, Improvements and new
construction, and for dividends, the
railways had to pay more than
dollar in taxes.
All of these amounts are
greater than the similar returns
for May. 1912. They are from the
summary of the earnings and ex-
i compiled by the Bureau of
Railway Economics from the month-
reports of the steam railways of
the United States to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. They In-

It It Said That The Meteor Struck
The Earth Near
Though It Is Not Known
To Be True
Scores of people living In this town,
and In various sections of Pitt and
Beaufort counties, were awakened
their sleep last night by a
noise which occurred shortly
after the midnight hour. Those who
had not at that time gone to bed
declare that the disturbance was
caused by a tremendous meteor, or
heavenly body passing through the
atmosphere above the earth, and
which a very bright light for

oldest Inhabitants of the town can
scarcely remember more than two or
three Instances of these magnificent
visions in the heaven. Those who
saw the meteor last night try as best
they can to give some sort of a
of what they saw, but being

Selected by Recent Legislation
Massachusetts. New York, Ohio and
Wisconsin have now the best child
labor laws in the country. In these
four states, nearly all the provisions
of the National Child Labor Commit-
tee's Uniform Child Labor Law there
have been enacted and each of them
has In one point or another
a higher standard.
Ohio has Just set a fifteen
year age for boys and a sixteen
year age limit for boys and a sixteen
has included a clause regulating
labor. Massachusetts Is tho
first to require employment
for all workers under twenty-
one and Wisconsin forbids newspaper
selling and other street trades for
girls under eighteen.
These are not the only states in
which the provisions of the
Child Labor Law that most serious-
affect Industry are In force. Thus,

For some time they have had

would really be a credit to the town.
This they have done, and as soon as

the exposition management finds It-

issue a call for a meeting of officers,
and as many members as will attend,
of the local associations throughout the
state. To this conference, which in
all likelihood will be held in
all officers of the local associations
over the state will be Invited, and will
be expected to attend.
Just what business will come be-
fore such a conference, should it fin-
ally called, Mr. Higgs was not
pared this morning to nor did
Mr. Tate state in letter, but it is
that the governor would lay
before these business men from every
suction of the slate, and from all
business walks of life, the proposals
that have been made by the railroads
to the corporation commission and to
the members of tho legislative com-
Governor would, of
course, It ls supposed, attend himself,
and would take part In the discus-
that would be had on the sub-
and his course In the matter
would In all likelihood be Influenced
by the action of the big conference.
Mr. Higgs points out that the gov-
cannot afford to take any other
course than to do the right thing by
the people of the state. He ls In a
position where he Is serving the
and where the people can get be-
hind him if he does not act according
to their notions. He ls a political
with enough wisdom to know which
way he should go In the matter, and It
ls certain that he will not take steps
that would not please the men In the
state who form the very backbone of
its commercial prosperity.
In the letter to President Higgs Mr,
Tate said that the local association
had shown up well In tho matter of
raising its proportionate share of the
funds that are expected of it for the
defraying of the expenses of the state
Association, but stated at tho time that
It was highly important that all of the
amount he collected and sent In, for It
more than probable that tho
amount from all of tho as-
bi th
fight finished.
The publication today of tho pro-
of the railroads has caused a
deal of comment from the
men all over the state, and It Is

Deserted His Wife in Bern,
Came To
Here A Week With A
After living In for one
week with a woman he claimed
tr be his wife, but who was in reality
only a woman who came here from
Norfolk to meet him, H. H. Baker, of
New Bern, was arrested here
day afternoon upon the request of the
officials of that town. Following his
arrest he was carried back to New
Bern, where he ls charged with
It having developed that
a wife living In that town, who, it
appears, sent word here through the
New Bern officers to have him
rested and brought back there.
Baker had been living here for a
week or more with this woman, the
two having rooms at the home of
Georgia James, and passing them
selves off as husband and wife. The
strange part of the story, however,
lies in the fact that though they claim-
ed to be man and wife they took
their meals at separate boarding
houses. Baker being at the Rives
house, and the woman eating at Mrs.
W. R. Smith's hostelry on Evans
street.
The queer and uncalled for ac-
and movements of the two
aroused the suspicion of several
people, and the county officers were
told of what was going on. When
the affair had been traced to Its
ginning, It was found that the man
and woman were not husband and
as they had pretended, but that
Baker's home was In and
that the woman who was living with
him came hero from Norfolk, Con-
stable W. U Patrick Immediately
served the papers on Baker, and
rested him, and carried him to New
Bern. Whether he gave bond, or
whether he Is In Jail In New Bern
has not been learned, but he
turned over to the officers of the law
In that town, and will be dealt with
accordingly.
The woman in tho case has return-
ed to her home in Norfolk, It is sup-
posed, or at least she has left Green-
ville.
