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.

In all such no cheaper way of bettering the highways can possibly be found. Last year I went through a county where the roads lam not been proved. This year I went back and found that, sand-clay roads had been made, and I could hardly realize that I was in the same Progressive Farmer The treasurer of Aiken county, S.

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 elevation will thus obviously have been measured double. Half of this will give tho measurement required.

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. To Jump overboard out in the ocean half a mile from shore, where the water was six fathoms deep, was an- other novel experience. All the being good the depth of the water made no difference, bat they all kept near the boat just same. And shore or curl bathing in a I suit la not in the same class with such an ocean swim, Getting back on board, the boat was beached and the remainder of the afternoon was devoted to off short with pretty good luck. After supper the boat was run around into the light house cove to make harbor for the night, and richest experience of the trip came along. Darkness had not more than settled on the of the than a bright torch light followed by two men wading and dragging a skiff be- hind them was over in water of the cove. for was the nation. We had all heard of it but had never been up against it, and it did not take a minute's consultation to decide to get next to it Tho was pulled up and three of us With the captain were soon pushing along close to the watching the two fishers pick up, the long spikes they carried, flounder fro-ii the sand where they had settled to feed. It was remarkable how the skilled eyes of the fishermen locate the bed of the fish under the light and soon had him fluttering in the boat dragging behind. It was so interesting Mr. and Mr. Stewart could not control their desire to hind at it. They removed their shoes rolled up their pants the knees and waded along beside fisher men. Each was rewarded by being allowed to take the, pike and up a flounder after the fishermen had found him. Mr. so with his strike that he went down with all his might, sticking lit so deep in the sand that to get it oat took a pull hard enough to throw flat of his back in the water. But he landed his fish. Breakfast was over next morning there was a run back out In the hook of the cape to begin another day's fishing. The morning looked threat- 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 you know it. The sea roared and foamed, the waves rolled, the wind blow, the boat rocked like a cradle and the rain cam in almost blind- sheets. About the- time the laud lubbers were wondering what to do their captain out lost her anchor and is ii the meantime he rushed for the wheel, the male as quick to the engine, and they soon the launch beaded at speed back to-the harbor. In half an hour the squall passed as quickly as It came, the sun shone out again and off we sailed to re- the day's fishing, all hands laughing over the novelty the squall. After some more hunt- for the kind that would not bite, dinner was served and the more ex- citing sport of trawling was renewed, adding a fine string of mackerel to the previous day's catch.

The making free of either of these canals means the re-establishment of boat lines that have been brought up or strangled by the railroad companies; it means that about twenty-five ties in Eastern North Carolina will get much lower freight rates, as Nor- folk is a great basing point for rates and is the great distributing gateway for the counties of North Carolina watered by the Perquimans, Little, Black- water, Roanoke, Alligator, Pamlico, Tar, Neuse and Trent rivers, and Albemarle and Pamlico sounds. successful business man, a large mill owner in Eastern North Carolina, writing to a gentleman in this city answering an inquiry as to the amount of savings in freight that the making free of the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal would mean to the people of Eastern North Carolina 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, bottled up, subject to toll canals, I am inclined to say that I would be in suggesting that a saving of at least a million and a half per year might be made by the people of Eastern North anxious as the people of East- 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. when Secretary of the Treasury in his famous report advocating and urging an in- land water way from Boston to the south of Georgia then being Spanish discussed three proposed routes from Chesapeake Bay to Albemarle Sound. Dismal Swamp Canal was commenced in 1787 and opened in 1794. Its construction cost about At one time the State of Virginia and the United States had large holdings in the shares of this corporation. The State of North Carolina at one time owned some stock in this canal. It is now owned I think by the Lake Drummond Canal and Water Company. The Dismal- Swamp Canal is miles long miles in Virginia and miles in North and connects Elizabeth and rivers from Great Bridge via Deep Creek, Swamp Canal and Turner's Cut to South Mills. Tho canal is feet wide at top and feet wide at bottom, feet deep, with two blocks feet in length and feet wide. It has a water feeder canal into Lake Drummond i is a natural reservoir, and it is . that the projected drainage of he Drummond area will cut off the water supply from the canal. Th; Dismal Swamp Canal is one of the oldest in the United States, as work was commenced on it thirty-live years before the Erie Canal was completed and eighteen years before the opening of the Middlesex in New Albemarle Chesapeake Canal was completed between and and the cost of construct m has been over It was first incorporated in 1850, as the Great Bridge Canal Company.

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.

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 York World.

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- ships common to almost any other Cyclones and tornadoes are unknown in this section. The is much more often above than below the freezing point in win- while the good old summer time In this section is just perfectly ideal for the pursuits of an people. There is just one great bugaboo in this section which is more a real- of the mind than in fact, but it has served the purpose of many people away from this naturally favored Just mention eastern North Caro- to some up country folks and they at once go into rigors, while as a matter of fact we knew of no single instance where an up country per- son has moved into . this country whose general health did not remain equally as good and in many cases improve. All over this section are scattered families who moved here when tobacco first began to be grown In this section In the early nineties, from the hill country, and with three or four exceptions we do not recall that any of them ever moved back to their old homes. It is true we have some in this section and chills, but either our doc- tors are more skilled in the treat- of such cases or the fever does not assume a malignant form, for it is The South Carolina Tobacco mar- opens much earlier than they do in North Carolina. Sales have been going on there since about the mid- of July, and the price at which it is sold proves it does not pay the farmers at least to sell on the early markets. The following report from the Commission of Agriculture of South Carolina will be of value to the to- farmers of this South Carolina As a result of the heavy rains which caused a season in the Pee Dee section of the state, over 3,000- pounds represents the decrease sales for the first month of the to- market, according to a report issued by the state department of Agriculture. The total sales for July on the floors of warehouses in markets were pounds, which were sold for The total sales for July of last year were pounds, which was valued at are warehouses in the state located at Conway, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Lake City, Latta, Loris, Manning, Marion, Nichols and there was a decrease of two in of warehouses. largest number of pounds to be sold was at Lake City there being pounds placed on the market for Although there were nearly more pounds sold at Lake City than at Tin the value sales were over greater. following is the report Conway, pounds for Darlington, lbs., Dillon, lbs., Florence, lbs., lbs., Lake City, lbs., Loris, lbs., Latta, lbs., Manning, lbs., Marion, lbs., lbs., Nichols, lbs. lbs., Total pounds for The South Carolina farmers don't grade their tobacco, but sell it in the rough.

But when It was 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 House of Representatives to the Sen- ate, it left the people much at a loss as to who should be their in the lower house. And with Mr. Blow and Cotten both aspiring to the Senate, it foretold a contest be- tween two good men that the people had rather see avoided. Such a con- test can easily be avoided by the themselves acting upon the in the communication referred to. It will secure a legislative ticket that will be truly representative of the county, and at the same time be a safeguard against any breach in the harmony of the party. Mr. Blow in the Senate and Mr. Cotten and Mr. Mooring in the house, would make an excellent ticket. There are no better gentlemen than these, and the interests of the county would be safe in their For the sake of party harmony, and in the interest of what is best for the county, let all the people themselves take this matter in hand and nominate this ticket. Farmers should divide period, if practicable for them to do so, into the whole fall and winter months, and sell such part each month. Where they feel compelled to sell before Christmas, then they should sell by the month, and if by the week. In this way, there would be a steady market, with comparatively no gluts, and the ware- housemen and buyers would have the opportunity of giving the necessary V attention to every pile. ii, Si a fact these attacks rarely amount to But with the opening of swamps of eastern North Carolina under an act of our last will rapidly be accomplished, x large per cent, of the cause of Ma- will have been removed.

Elsewhere in this paper is a com- signed of the that contains suggestions that are as timely as ever appeared in these columns. There is no matter before the people of Pitt county in this cam- that concerns them so deeply as who shall represent them in the legislature.

The manner and method of market- the tobacco crop in thin section during the last few years has entailed the of thousands of dollars on the tobacco farmers. The postpone- this year in opening the market from August 1st the 18th, was a good step in the direction of helping to remedy this loss.

A ma- chine no heavier and not much more complicated than a binder cuts and threshes wheat or oats at the same as the binder now cuts the rain. The reports may be but things have been done In the past with farm machinery that at the time seemed more remark- able than this seems now. The thing has been done, but only by machines so heavy and complicated that they can be used profitably only on farms. 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 solve the State Journal. Woodland Items. Woodland, N. C, Aug. 1910.

THE SPLIT LOG DRAG AND WHAT IT D Ward King will have his name with that of and Tel- 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 The work of the road maintenance in is largely confined to the care of earth roads. Within the past two years the methods have . a complete change and Vi of the split-log drag and other simple contrivances for this purpose has ex- tended into every township and of this State. First, last and all the time the timely and liberal use of the road drag will pay bigger returns on the invested than the use of any other improvement. This assertion, while apparently dogmatic, will peal to know, as a safe rule the township trustees and road and street com- of the Iowa town to adopt to put into force immediately. Much more can be ac- during spring and win- months than during the summer and fall months. The roads on which the has boon used the are in much better shape to the succeeding wet and tie-frost i. coming of the roads is a critical time with them. The loose, moist if taken advantage of, will make a wonderful improvement, but, if becomes a great sponge, to catch and retain the spring The use of the drag now will accomplish the results in a greater or degree, depending on the times and the care with which the crag is First of all, the water standing in ruts and depressions or run- down the wheel tracks will be thrown out of the traveled way to the ditches. These and depressions will be filed with moist earth, which in this condition will pack and become a sol I part of the roadbed. The shoulders at each side will be up where the traffic has flat- and slewed them into side ditches Ridges which the wheels have between the center of the road and the sides of the ditches will be smoothed down and the center of the road will be built up, giving the water that falls on the traveled portion of the i an opportunity to get away. By dragging the side ditches with the drag hitched at an angle of more than forty-five degrees the ditch-3 can be cleaned of or dirt thrown down by the frost from banks and the road grad- widened. The seed beds between the of the road and side ditches wait- to grow into a mass of noxious weeds, can, in a large measure, be destroyed If the soil is just moist, each time the is used a thin layer will be added to the traveled portion of the road, which will pack into and build up a hard surface crust under the traffic; if it is wet, the water will be forced out, drying the road in a much shorter time. in March, April and May will reduce the dust in June, Au- gust and September, The action of the frost has put the soil in such condition now that two horses the work of four a little later. Tie waves and ruts be taken out of gravel roads now, and the material which has been forced toward the side ditches brought back onto the traveled way. The wheels will do the rolling necessary; By reversing the drags on hills and throwing the earth moved from the center of the road to the side ditcher, deep and dangerous ditches at the roadside may be filled and the of the whole hill lowered The responsibility for having the drag used has been fixed by the Leg- on the town trustees and the road Tile drainage on steep hillsides, o; on flat wet stretches of the road where die ground water stands at a high level will supplement the use of the road drag and prove a in- vestment.

A higher standard of living Is to the in the country. He can build a house for the price of two or three rent in the city.

Forty cent eggs mean doing without to the average city dweller. To the with a small flock of try they mean prosperity. The man with his own cow doesn't complain of the high cost of milk and butter, for grass is always cheap. In the country the everlasting to keep up appearances is not felt go keenly as in the city. The useless extravagance that make bill for clothes the heaviest drain on city man's is lacking.

In the country the stand- ard of living as it applies to real clothing, shelter, books and be maintained much higher than It can on an equal sized income in the city. The temptations to reckless extravagance are much less, and the margin for saving is con- much greater. From the standpoint of the average Individual and for a great many who are above the average country life at present Is much more desirable in way than city life. Some of the more specific advantages will be taken up Hi later articles. From the standpoint of the nation In- crease in the number of people who till soil or who live close to It la absolutely necessary. We might find temporary relief by letting down our tariff barriers to the wheat of and the cattle of Argentina, but such relief would be only temporary. The inflow of cheaper meat and bread would but accelerate growth of the cities. When the limit of the pro- of Canada and South America was reached we would face another crisis of high prices, this time much more serious than we are undergoing at present. The only way the price level can be permanently adjusted and lasting prosperity assured Is by In- creasing the proportion of country dwellers. At present there are too many drones In the hives of Industry. The ed increment, the rapid rise in real 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.

In the very nature of the there must always be a class of THE NEW YORK. 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.

Editor The people themselves ought to have a say about who shall be can- for the legislature, and not leave it alone to the candidates. As one of the people I suggest the fol- lowing For the L. Blow, of Greenville. For the House of Representatives R. R. Gotten, of Falkland township; G. M. Mooring, of Carolina township. This in my opinion will be a wise arrangement, and I suggest that the people vote for this ticket at the on the 10th day of Mr. Blow is already in Senate, he is well acquainted with the rules and methods of the Senate and he can render good service to the county and the State in that body. He should be returned by all means. Mr. Gotten is already a member of the house and he is well acquainted with the rules and methods of that body, and he can render his best service to the county and State in that body, and should by all means be sent back. Dr. Cox, Mr. Cotton's Colleague, does not wish to be returned, I and I suggest in his place Mr. G. If, Mooring, of Carolina town- ship. Mr. Mooring has been sheriff of the county and for many years a county commissioner, and he under- stands the needs of the county and the wishes of the people. He will make a very excellent Now, with Blow in the Senate and Cotton and Mooring in the house, the county will be well represented, and we suggest that the people take charge and nominate this ticket on the 10th of September. Let the people say to these gentlemen this arrangement creates no friction or strife. It keeps Mr. Blow in his place and Mr. Gotten in his, and puts Mr. Mooring in the place of Dr. Cox. With this arrange- we can have complete harmony In the party, and I can't sec a reason why any one should object to Ii the people are like minded with me, we will soon let these gentlemen know are going to have it this way, and no other.

But it is also true that beginning with September there will be a more abundant supply of rough feed about a farm which can utilized. August is a most favor- able month for making a start toward freeing premises of ticks by the method suggested.

O. L. JOYNER, The most Important need in North Carolina is the Torrens system of Land Registration, said Mr. John A. Wilkerson, of Belhaven, who is doing more to drain and put fertile land on the market than any man in East- North Carolina. Mr. Wilkerson is right, and large experience in buying and selling land makes his opinion- of value. Proceed- upon the necessity of this great reform Mr. Wilkerson I own worth of stock or stock in any railroad or industrial corpora- I can take that stock to any bank deposit it as security, and borrow money on it. It costs mo nothing to do so and the fact that I am borrow- is known only to me and the bank or lending me the money But if have worth of land or more, or a little home or farm, and need to borrow money on it I have to pay an attorney to ex- the title. I have to pay him to write a mortgage, and the fact that I have borrowed the money is put on record in the court house, thus advertising my private business. And this trouble, expense and publicity are made necessary every time I wish to borrow money on land. It is a hardship and a burden upon of land that makes dealing in land slow and costly whereas it is to the interest of the State that land trans- should be easy and that everybody will wish to in- vest their money in Not long ago Mr. Eugene C. Mas- of Richmond, Va., discussed at 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. State claims to be the owner .-the original and ultimate owner of all her lands. This ownership first appears in her lands grants and now found in the exercise of the right and eminent domain, or and in levying taxes. and exercising the orig- rights and powers, it is the duty of the State to grant good titles to her citizens and to en- able them to keep their titles good under the just administration of equitable land laws. plain duty has never hereto- fore been performed by the State, and the time has now come when she must meet her high obligation. con sell your personal proper- or borrow money on it quickly and at little expense. You do not have to employ a lawyer to examine the title to your horse or cow, to your oats and hay, nor to your stocks and bonds you try to sell your land or row money on it, the first question you got a good one will buy nor lend you money without being satisfied about your title. It must be examined by a lawyer, and you have to pay the bill. does not matter how often the title has been examined before, it has to be re-examined every time a new deal is made. same old titles are examined over and over again, and every time you have to pay the bill. conservative estimate, based upon the returns from the County Clerks throughout the State, shows that the people of Virginia paid more than for abstracts of ti- to lands in one year. is nearly as much as was spent upon all the public schools In the counties of our State, and more than half of what was spent for public education In every city and county in the Commonwealth. heavy and perpetual tax on the people will be saved by the Tor- System of Land Registration. Is not only expensive but It takes days and weeks to make an examination of title, and so many difficulties are encountered that men frequently have not the time to bother with transactions in- so many problems. this makes land hard and slow to handle, and men hesitate to bury capital In lands.

It will convert lands into quick asset and render them available as a source of ready commercial credit. operates In the following man- A title is examined once official- and confirmed by order of court. ends the matter and cuts out the endless examinations of titles now necessary.
