MAYO COMMISSIONER
As next Thursday is convention,
and as it is the duty of the delegates
to select or nominate five county
commissioners to serve for the next
two years, I write this to name a
from the North side of the river
who would make us an ideal com-
missioner.
We all know that our roads are
in bad condition, and getting worse.
I travel the roads right much and
know this is We need a set of j
commissioners who will lend some ;
help to the road supervisors and
overseers in this effort to bet-1
roads, or at least to work in
with them in order that the j
best results may be accomplished.
I will suggest to the convention
as one the commissioners from
the North side the name of Lewis A.
Mayo. The people of Pitt county
know Mr. Mayo, and know him to
be a good an intelligent
man and a true democrat. Mr.
Mayo has been a magistrate for the
last ten or twelve years, and has
been a road supervisor during that
time, and he knows what the county
needs along that line. If something
is not done in the next two veal's
the roads will become impassable in
bad weather. The road
and overseers arc powerless to do
unless they have the cooperation of
the board of commissioners.
I will also second the name of
John L. Woolen of i

Some days ago at a hotel table we
beard the conversation of a number
of gentlemen concerning certain
conditions in the South, and the
conversation interested us very much.
One of the gentlemen was from Ohio,
and of course the conversation had
to take a turn at lynchings in die
South. The gentleman from Ohio
did not say anything harsh about
the South, nor about the lynching
here. the contrary he said that
for the same crimes for which
are lynched in the South, they would
be as he put it, in the
North. He said that the people in
the North do not really care as much
tit as do the people in the
South, lie says the people here
understand the race better than the
people there do. But the most inter-
part of the conversation turn-
ed up on the question of reading.
The gentleman from Ohio said that.
he has much in the J North
and in the South and so has had
opportunity to make observations of
the people in the different sections.
He said that the people in the North
read many times more than the
pie in the South.
Some one, he said, made close ob-
on a railroad car of the
number of people reading as they
leave a city. In the North on a train
leaving a city he observed that
most every one is reading; but in
the South on a train leaving a city
very few are ling. One person

to pay five cents for one of equal

that the price of paper could not be
the cause of such a discrepancy be-

the two sections. The gentleman
from Ohio stuck to his proposition,
that the people in the North like to
read much more than the people of
the South. From his view of the
matter the people of the South are
