How One County Secured Good Roads
By MAJ. GEO. E. BUTLER, Clinton, Sampson County, North Carolina.
There are several ways by which
a county can obtain good roads;
when one plan fails another may
Sampson county failed in its
first effort but succeeded in its sec-
In 1903 we held an election by
o fan act of the general
of an act of the general
good roads. Our local paper did not
advocate it and the leading
were and the tax-
payers and voters being naturally op-
posed to increased taxation, the prop-
was defeated at the election
by a most decided majority.
In 1907 a few of the progressive
citizens of our county met and
ed to get good roads by a different
method. We appointed a committee
of our number to draw up a bill and
submit it to the legislature, then in
session, and at the request of our
county representatives,, it was pass-
ed. This bill did not submit the
question to a vote of the people, but
to the contrary, provided for the
appointment of a road commission,
composed of two Democrats and two
Republicans, and the chairman of the
board of county commissioners was
chairman of the commission.
This plan took the question out of
politics. We secured the endorse-
of our local papers and we
ready had the endorsement of our
select committee of leading citizens
who planned the measure.
This bill provided that the county
commissioners at the request of the
road commission should issue
of good roads bonds in such amounts
as needed each year and no more
than was needed, bonds to run ten
years from date of issue. This was
done and our banks and citizens
took the bonds although they were
not sanctioned by a vote of the
We secured a road expert from
a neighboring county and on the first
day of August, 1907, began the con-
of sand-clay roads. We did
not make the mistake many counties
have made by investing too much
money in useless and expensive road
machinery. We soon learned that a
steel scraper, a few steel two-horse
plows, steel scoop and drags, a few
dump carts, with of shovels,
spades, etc., and good labor were all
that was necessary to construct a
sand-clay road in this section.
Before any decided opposition to
the movement could gain headway
among the people, we were building
roads and the people were so much
pleased that all opposition vanished.
Since August 1907, we have
worked on an about twenty
hands. At first we worked hired la-
borers, but only for a few months.
Soon our own convicts and those
from neighboring counties sent us by
the courts in our district supplied us
with a sufficient number of laborers.
We have hired no high priced man.
hands. Instead of all the hands
After a few weeks, we selected a lo-
cal farmer for superintendent of the
roads and he was and
successful from the start. We have
built miles of sand-clay roads and
about miles of dams and cause-
ways since we began, and have spent
only of which has been
invested in teams, machinery and
camp equipment and tools.
The legislature of 1809 amended
our road law and added a new feat-
We now have a highway com-
whose duty it is to have
control of all the free labor or road
hands in the county. In other words,
he has charge of all the overseers
and directs their work.
He first made a map of each town-
ship in the county, locating all the
public roads. Ho then divided these
roads into sections, numbering
section. He secured the name and
address of each township road super-
visor and each overseer in the county.
He then held township meetings and
organized each township and went
over every section in the county in
company with the road overseers of
each section and pointed out to him
the best methods of working his sec-
His next move was to arrange
a schedule of dates for the working
of each section so that he could at-
tend with the overseer and hands and
actually demonstrate road building.
Heretofore little had been done on
the roads by the overseers and road
working six days in the year and for
eight full hours each day, they usu-
ally worked only three or four days
in the year and then only for about
four hours a day; and this work was
done without any uniform system.
The roads, therefore, remained in
bad condition.
The new plan has created
for better roads and a uniform
system of work with all tho free la-
working full time. Consequently
more actual work on the roads is now
being done by our free labor than by
our convict force and there is a re-
markable improvement in our roads.
The progress of the convict force is
naturally slow, but now this organ-
free labor is paving the way in
the outlying districts for the convict
and at the same time is giving
our people better roads while they
wait.
There is no reason why any county
should longer postpone the building
of good roads if it will only go about
it in the proper way. However much
we all in the governmental
principal of all local
to a vote of the people, yet the
hereditary conservatism of our
is often the chief impediment to
internal improvements. If road
is properly planned and
the roads built with economy and
with sufficient rapidity to reach
before the tax becomes burden-
some, you will merit and receive the
fullest co-operation of the people.

Anybody who knows how to take
the altitude of the sun or a star with
a sextant and wishes to take that of
any distant hill, steeple or the like
should put a tea tray on the ground,
fill It with water and then retire from
it until the top of the hill, steeple or
what not is reflected in tho liquid.
Now take the sextant and make the
image of the summit coincide with Its
reflection in the liquid. Tho angle of

Atlantic Hotel, Morehead City, Aug.
past two days have been
i novel experiences than any
period we have passed in a
long time. Being all run down and
more or less tired out, we came here
rest, pleasure and recuperation.
It is an ideal plate for all these. We
started out for the rest all right, and
the first four days scarcely did any-
thing but sleep, eat and go a-swim-
to one who loves it, fish-
is both rest and recuperation,
With pleasure mixed in, and that's
what we were doing the two days in
question.
Having struck the hotel of much
bleeping hare, we were too lazy to
crawl out of bed to fall in with the
early morning parties, and when we
got ready to go they had all gone.
So we were contenting ourselves pick-
up pin fish off the pier when luck
turned our way. The Greensboro
party composed of Messrs. J. P. Mini-
tree, L. Grubbs, and BL L. Stewart,
had brought their launch up to the
city for a new supply of and
as they were going out spied us on
the wharf and took us aboard, to
spend two days with them if we didn't
mind staying out night. Mind it
not a bit; and . as no waiting
the invitation u repeated, es-
as they had a nice boat well
arranged for comfort.
And this was where the two
experiences began. Steaming away,
the first run was made
to banks for a
of still fishing. While luck here was
nothing to brag on, the catch was
large enough for dinner for six,
eluding captain and mate, and
to spare. When dinner was
and those fish alive and kick-
a short while before, now crisp
and brown on the table, with plenty
of good hot bread and coffee, the
can imagine there was some eating
worth while.
After dinner t he anchor was
Weighed and the launch sped across
the inlet and down the beach for
Cape Lookout. Trawling lines were
cast over and several fine mackerel
wore picked up on this trip. To us
this was a now experience, for as
many years as we had boasted of be-
a fisher, this was the first time
ever caught a mackerel
on a trout line.
The hook of the cape was reached
about o'clock and anchor again
for more still fishing, Two
later there was stripping for a bath.

water was six fathoms deep, was an-

Getting back on board, the boat was

into the light house cove to make
harbor for the night, and

spikes they carried, flounder fro-ii

to feed. It was remarkable how the
skilled eyes of the fishermen

the boat dragging behind.
It was so interesting Mr.
and Mr. Stewart could not
control their desire to hind

there was a run back out In the hook
of the cape to begin another day's

and it was not long before a
heavy squall came and hurried all
hands to the cabin. It is the way of
these things to hit before

for the kind that would not bite,
dinner was served and the more ex-

making free of either of these canals
means the re-establishment of boat
lines that have been brought up or

it means that about twenty-five

get much lower freight rates, as Nor-

figures have been carefully es-
covering the question you
have asked, but in doing so both the
Albemarle and Chesapeake and the
Dismal Swamp Canal were taken into
consideration, and as a matter of fact
the figures represented over six
thousand dollars per year. You, of
course, understand if this canal is
made free the commerce
will be increased very much, possibly
double. You are aware of the fact
that the present canals permit boats
to pass through them loaded not to
exceed nine feet. If, as suggested,
either of the canals should be
chased by the government and made
free and made enough to
boats loaded to twelve feet, there
would be a marked increase in
and a decrease in the freight
rates, and when you take
the fact that the Eastern
coast of North Carolina has twenty-
six hundred miles of water front,

am inclined to say that I would be

North Carolina are for an inland
waterway, has been the hope
of that section for a hundred years,
there are many who believe the
of a free water way from the
Chesapeake to Albemarle Sound
would give that section almost as
much benefit as the more extended
waterway. There is a bill before
Congress now which authorizes the
Secretary of the Navy to contract
for the purpose of a canal, subject
to the approval of Congress. The
government engineers are to
mend which canal is to be selected
and there is strong of the
recommendation of the Albemarle and
Chesapeake Canal. This has been a
live matter with the people of East-
Carolina for many years. A
resolution recommending the Dismal
Swamp Canal was introduced at the
Democratic Congressional convention
of the First District last month, but
was not favorably considered.

the Treasury in his famous report

WRECK ON A. C. L
RAILROAD HERE SUNDAY.
HEAVY RAINS FILLED STREET
CROSSING WITH SAND.
No Lives Were Lost, Passengers
Considerably Turn-
ed Side Down.
Sunday afternoon at 6.32 o'clock
the A. C. L. passenger train No
in charge of Conductor J. Q. Elmore
and V. L. Turrentine engineer, was
wrecked at the railroad crossing on
Fourth street. The heavy rains in
the afternoon had covered the road
with sand, causing the train as it
was passing Fourth street to run off
the track and throwing the engine
into the ravine just beyond the cross-
and opposite E.-B.
About half of the tender was
also thrown off the track, but the
passenger cars and baggage car were
standing. The train was running
about fifteen miles an hour when the
accident occurred, therefore from
such a speed and heroic effort of the
engineer to stop the train, the jar was
not sufficient to cause serious dam-
age except to the engine and track,
which were torn up No
one was injured.
A message was sent at once to
Rocky Mount for a wreck train to
replace the track and clear it of the
tender so the freight engine could
pull the cars to By 3.30
o'clock everything was in readiness,
the train having been delayed about
nine hours. The wreck train raised
the engine out of the ravine after the
8.32 train passed this morning and
carried to Rocky Mount.
The passengers were a scared lot
when they came out and saw the
damage after the shaking up ex-
and they were very grate-
to the engineer, Mr V. C.
tine, for his heroic action of remain-
at his post until the engine had
turned side down. When he saw
what was happening he immediately
threw on the and
probably saved loss of life by his
great presence of mind.
Fire from the engine set the
train afire, but it was promptly ex-
by the train crew.
Whom The Tips Help.
Did you ever wonder why sleeping
car companies tipping
There's a reason. It was disclosed
the other day in a law suit in a New-
York court in which a sleeping car
porter was forced to testify as to the
wages paid him. He declared that
the company employing him paid him
only per month, and that the
tips he collected amounted to about
a month on the average. In other
words, the sleeping car company pays
its only one-fourth of their
wages and compels the traveling pub-
to pay the other three-fourths.
When you tip the porter, remember,
that you are not really tipping him,
but the sleeping car company. Every
time you tip the porter, are ad-
ding to the size of the company's
already swelled beyond a
reasonable return upon the actual
capital invested. If the sleeping car
companies employ porters and
the pays of the annual
wages of each, it is contributing
ally to the companies, in
itself enough to pay per cent on
to say nothing of the pub-
in their high prices for sleeping
car accommodations. If the
made no other profit, the tips it
forces from the public would be
enough. Tipping is outrageous, but
save your indignation for the
behind the porter, and do not
vent it all on him. Your tips really
go to the companies and they count
on them as part of their
Gazette.

The Cost Credit.
Heads were nodded in emphatic as-
sent when at a meeting of Brooklyn
retail grocers. President of
the State Wholesale
said that indiscriminate credit
helps to raise the cost of living. No
one better knows this truth than the
grocer.
The abuse of credit encourages care-
less persons to order beyond their
needs. It fosters the telephone habit.
It leads to orders, like a five
cent bag of salt right which
multiply the expenses of delivery. It
assesses upon prudent and honest
the of the dishonest
who will not pay, and of the foolishly
extravagant who cannot.
The dead-beat and the harassed
provident are far frequent among
people of comfortable income than
among those of narrower means.
This is one reason why prices are
higher in provision shops surrounded
by houses and apart-
than in tenement regions where
plain working people dwell.
Some of the causes of high cost of
living are beyond the power of
thrift to remedy, but a general
return to the use of the old-fashioned
market basket would be

Situated about half way between
the north and south and protected
by the fierce biting winds of the north-
west by the range of
mountains on the west, and warmed
by the near following gulf stream on
the east, the climate of eastern North
Carolina is about as near ideal all
the year round as any other area of
similar size the States.
Those of us who live here don't
properly appreciate it because we are
unacquainted with climate hard-

learned that Dr. Cox, because of his
other interests, did not care to be
re-elected, and that Mr. Cotten had
transferred his ambition from the

as to who should be their

Mr. Blow and Cotten both aspiring
to the Senate, it foretold a contest be-

had rather see avoided. Such a con-

can be used profitably only on

This reminds us that the farmers
may yet be emancipated from the
special strain of harvest time. The
greatest difficulty of the farmer lies
in the way of his work increases at
certain periods. As water can flow
through a pipe only as fast as its
narrowest part permits, so a farmer
must adjust his operation for the
year with more or less reference to
the special demands of harvest time.
The annual cry for hands
is the result of the farmer's risking
a crop as large as he can handle at
planting time, trusting to special
providence to furnish help for the
harvest. A harvesting machine that
will turn out threshed grain instead
of sheaves that must be shocked,
stacked and later threshed would

THE SPLIT LOG DRAG AND WHAT
IT
D Ward King will have his name

ford as a benefactor of the human
He, even more than those
good pioneers, stands as an apostle
of improved highways. His simple,
but marvelous, device for working
roads has already accomplished won-
will do infinitely more as the
good roads movement progresses.
During the past few years the drag
has grown in popular favor as an
mediate maker of good roads, and at
a ridiculously low expense. Over ten
thousand farmers in Missouri are
keeping in excellent repair, with the
split-log drag, the ordinary country
dirt roads leading from their front
gate to their neighbor's front gate,
toward town. Fifteen thousand are
working on the roads of Illinois. The
Department of Highways of the State
of Illinois has officially adopted this
system of maintaining its roads
throughout the entire State.
State of Ohio has taken up this
method of road making and foremost
among automobile clubs of the nation
to become enthusiastic advocates
this method of getting good roads
now, to-day, cheap, stand several clubs
In Pennsylvania. Among them are the
Lancaster, Harrisburg and
Automobile Clubs, and the
port Good Roads Association.
The split-log drag is made from an
ordinary log, either eight or ten inches
in diameter and from seven to nine feet
long. The log is split in half, and the
halves are spiked thirty inches apart,
the spit sides to the front. A team
of horses is hitched to the drag by
means of a chain, and the latter is
dragged along an angle of degrees,
moving the dirt to the middle of the
road. The dragging process is done
after each rain. The farmer stands
on the drag, and the moisten earth,
as it is moved to the center of the
road, fills the ruts and smooths out
the uneven places.
About one hour is required for the
farmer to drag a mile of road after
rain. The effect of the sun and wind,
baking the roadway each time it is
dragged, results in a smooth, hard
surface that withstands the heaviest
traffic. , ,
The Iowa Highway Commission,
which has had a great deal of
with the split-log drag, has is-
sued a bulletin containing the follow-
strong endorsement of the
of the split log

estate values for which community
growth Is responsible, has placed
of thousands of people where
they can live from the proceeds of
without working. They are
granted a perpetual tax upon the in-
of the necessity of
people to live. Legislation that will
put a heavy tax this unearned in-
will In a large measure right
this and force the property
owners Into productive labor. The
decentralizing of the cities will force
down the abnormally high rents and
help to thin the ranks of the people
whom excessive rents have allowed to
remain In Idleness.
Aside from the people who do not
work, there is a vast army of
who are supported the men
who work at productive labor. Our
system of getting goods from producer
to consumer Is needlessly expensive
and cumbersome. There are too many
middlemen on the way, who through
custom have come to think they have
a divine to uneasily earned share
of the consumer's dollar.
Much of this awkward system of dis-
has been made necessary by
the concentration, of the
Industries in large cities and by
the location of these cities without ref-
to the markets for their
goods or the source of their
food supply. It has been estimated
that if Philadelphia were located close
to its food supply the cost of living in
that city would be, reduced per cent.
The time has come for a radical re-
adjustment of the system of
The consumer and the producer
must be brought closer together and fl
large share of the energy wasted In
duplication and of products
turned into productive labor. As an
example, there are nearly com-
travelers in this country.
These men are well fed and well paid.
The cost of selling goods through them
ts enormous. The consumer pays this
cost In increased prices. The plan of
selling all sorts of goods in small
by personal solicitors is a rem-
of the old days of cutthroat com
petition. It has little, if any, place In
modern business. Today business has
been put on a scientific basis.

Consolidation has reached its highest
development In manufacture. Trans-
Is not far behind it. It Is
time that competition the kind of
competition that fosters Inefficiency,
duplication and excessive

tries.
In the very nature of the there

workers. It is for the best good
of the nation to limit this class as
much as possible.
The future prosperity of America,
then, depends upon
of the cities. Large cities are
wasteful, and will have
to go. The manufacturing cities of the
future will be located with reference
to food supply as well as with refer-
to the market for their products.
In recent years the farmers of too
hog raising districts of Iowa are coin-
more more to ship their hogs
to local packing houses for slaughter,
thus eliminating the long freight haul
to Chicago. A plan is under way to
establish a terminal elevator at Cedar
Rapids, where the bulk of the Iowa
grain can be cleaned and graded
shipped direct to the consumer. In
this way the toll of Chicago, with Its
heavy terminal charges and Us army
of will be almost entirely
eliminated.
One of the chief factors In the way
of this enterprise and others of
like is the discriminatory
freight rates which the railroads
to the large cities. But this Is a mat-
that will be remedied In time. The
of the open country and the
try town Is dawning. The great

Sentinel, it would be better to
have each judge hold all the courts in
his own district, where he knows the
conditions and the people, rather than
to force him to go from one end of
the State to the other, being away
from his family most of the time and
being much of the time

main objections to the plan of rotation

The most Important need in North

more to drain and put fertile land

advertising my private business. And
this trouble, expense and publicity

to borrow money on land. It is a

length the Torrens system. The
Protective Association, which
favored the Torrens system, request-
ed Mr. to prepare a brief state-
showing the wisdom of that
system. In response to that request,
Mr. wrote the following ad-
succinct and comprehensive
summary of the argument for the
Torrens system.
