both surprised and gratified to see
that town making such rapid strides
along all lines of progress. There
at this time going up In that
town six brick stores, a new bank
building, a tobacco warehouse, a large
cotton seed oil mill, and several
handsome dwelling houses. The new
bank, which makes the second one
there, expects to begin business the
first of August. A large volume
business is done in that town.
About two months ago Mr. H. A.
While began missing money from his
office, the losses varying from
cents to Mr. White became
at the frequency of these loss-
es and set to work to find out the
cause. He engineered o nice bit of
detective work, and while his plans
were a little slow he kept his patience
and was finally rewarded by land-
lug the thief.
A young colored man, Wiley Clark,
has for sonic time been cleaning up
Mr. White's office, going every morn-
to do this work. Being a slick
and observant Wiley had
learned to manipulate the day lock
on office safe . Mr. White began
to suspect this as the one who
was getting the money and went to
work to catch him.
At first It puzzled Mr. White to get
run of the losses, but finally he
mads the discovery that they were
occurring during the dinner hour
when BO one was in the office. There-
upon he engaged one to watch
the office door while he was at din-
and to telephone him Wiley
was seen lo enter the office. In the
meantime some coins were carefully
marked, a record made of them,
the coins placed In a convenient place
in the safe.
And this Is the plan that did work.

On Saturday by mortgaging their
home, the parents of Wiley secured
a bondsman for him and he was re-
leased from prison. As soon as re-
leased he was again arrested under
a warrant for stealing a pistol from
Mr. White. Wiley was again taken
before Justice Harding on this charge
and was held under an additional

That every able bodied male citizen
work the roads three days in each

That every horse and mule be taxed
fifty cents each, every cart twenty-

bicycle fifty cents each. That the tax
now levied on automobiles be a

convicts be kept to work on roads
now. That each township shall have
its amount of road tax spent

five road directors in each township,
and that the roads and bridges
placed in hands of director-.
That ten cents be levied on every one

the value may be fixed for county
and State taxes. That the rate of

Most every county in North
has been convinced of the import-
and utility of good roads but
haw appeared to confused as
to the most economical and practical
way of raising funds for constructing
modern highways. Some the
ties have voted down bonds
and levied direct taxes good
roads instead taking the bond route
which makes it less burdensome for
today. Some our
ties are doing nothing In the way or
building good roads rather than issue
bonds.
North Carolina had such a sad ex-
with bond issues during the
Reconstruction orgies that the
of a bond issue has ever since
been a nightmare to them. However,
hundreds thousands of dollars have
been voted in North Carolina during
the past twelve months for good roads
and municipal improvements, for the
people are beginning to realize that
the most economical way and the
most practical plan for inaugurating
improvements of a permanent nature
Is by the Issue of bonds running long

on one or more generations who are

Pitt county never fails to strike a re-
chord in the hearts of her
people. Centuries ago the Africans
played hall with diamonds, not know-

of civilization to show them
that their plaything were the world's
most valuable articles of commerce.
It Is only as a people becomes en-
lightened, do they appreciate their
undeveloped resources. Pitt county
has long since reached the stage of
true appreciation of her
oped resources and the most efficient
way of developing her magnificent
sections, and as Dr. Dixon, of

It was Indeed an inspiring scene
that th speakers of the
good roads convention.
Congressman John H. Small was
the first speaker, and touched upon
many Interesting topics as well

confronting Pitt county In
the way of drainage, developing
power, and so on.
Congressman Small spoke, as fol-
It was most gratifying to
pate such a meeting of mutual
concern to people of town and country.
There was never a time when people
were more willing to give time and
wealth for the betterment of the
in North Carolina than today. We
have met to discuss for action. When
has not been carried into
action is weakened for the next
time. The implanting of thought to-
day should be put into force and there
should be at once organization and
action. We hope that everybody is
here for action.
This Is an economic question of our
country and world, and that state or
county, which devotes most time and
energy to tills question, help the
and country most. Public
demand wise solution. We have
fought fights for the education of our
children and Pitt county rivals any
section or county. Pitt has gone fur-
and has prepared for equipment
of teachers. This school Is a

for most effective drainage.
It Is too late to recall the waste of
our time, but we can in future utilize
what we have for profit and proper
benefit to us and our children. By the
application of proper methods we can
conserve them.
Our soil Is another asset that needs
our attention. We are wasting the
fertility of our soil by bad methods
and they should be renovated and re-
stored to original fertility and no
longer be wasted, but used for the
help of the whole people.

Mr. Speech.
The second speaker was Mr. Lester

States Department of Agriculture. He
said he had a long ways to

government does not give this service.
Out of applications for rural
routes In North Carolina, only 1,200
could be granted on account of bad
roads.
The greatest help it would be to our
country Is the keeping of the young
people on the farm. The country com-

laid down as one of Its
mental necessities that the country
people must have good roads. The
isolation caused by bad roads was the
cause of a greater per cent of in-
among country people.
tide should turned from tile city
to the country, instead of the country
to the city. The best way to do
Is to build good roads. Men do not
feel this Isolation bad roads
do our women.
When you decide to build good roads
you must first determine upon the
kind of roads most suitable to your
country from the point of view of
cost and the kind of material for build-
that is available. Here you are
ideally situated for the sand-clay road.
Nature has done your grading. Then
the real question is that of drainage
You must get rid of the water. To
do this your roads must slope from
the center to the sides where you
have scooped out ditches which take
the water to lower points, draining
entirely from the road bed. The sand
road Is a bed of loose sand which has
no rigidity. The sand grains must
be bound together by some kind
of cement, which Is clay. To do this
distribute the clay over the sand from
to inches deep and scatter it as
you haul it. To find out how much
clay Is necessary for any given
of sand, take two glasses, lining
one with sand and the other with
water and pour the water into the
sand, and the portion of water that
it takes to fill the glass of sand
the same amount of clay necessary
to make a firm road. After the
has been placed and mixed, cover by
dragging with the split-log drag.
For the clay road, cover i to inches
deep With sand, and mix with a
row while dry, then run over with a
drag. If sand appears
on more clay and use the log drag.
This is the best way to keep up your
roads. The log drag is the most use-
of road Implements. You can op-r
ale the log drag at a cost of cents
per mile, and the roads should
dragged one time each month, making
the whole cost by this method per
year. The old method of shovel
cart cost per year, and not so
good. You must have some fixed
method and use that.
The bug-bear of the situation is the
