the fact that the newspapers publish

as they should be. There are nearly
thousand people in Cherokee

these families- or two thousand
ought to read the papers. Many

The day was almost featureless
in the dearly an hour that the senate
was in session. Not making more
laws, however, may be the best thing
that could take place. A large
hunch of hills sent over from the
house were presented and referred
to the proper senate committees. A
few new bills were introduced, but
they were only of a local nature.
Senator A. P. Kitchen, of Halifax,
appeared for the first time since the
general assembly met, and was sworn
in.
The session of the house was
most as featureless as the senate,
about the only difference being that
there was more of the same kind,
two hours being given mainly to
matters that might be transacted by
the county commissioners of the
counties interested instead of con-
the time of a state
body. There were petitions,
resolutions and new bills,
all of a local nature. The
possible exceptions

small number for spindles
since 1907 is attributable in part to
unsatisfactory condition of the cotton-

brought about by the shortage
in the supply of cotton the past seas-

Large Increase in Exports.
An interesting illustration of the
manner in which foreign counties
have suffered during the past year
from the short supply of American
cotton is presented by the statistics
of exports, which, for the year cover-
ed by the present report, show a de-
crease of bales, or per
cent, from the previous year, smaller
than for any year since that ending
1905.
About per cent of all cotton ex-
ported during the year ending Aug-
1910, is credited to ports with-
in the cotton-growing States, only
per cent having been exported from
I outside of these States. The
from Galveston, New Orleans,
Savannah represented about two-
of the total, while those
alone amounted to more
The report also discloses a notice-
able change in the distribution of the
export trade since 1880. At that time
United Kingdom took two-thirds
of all the American cotton exported,
France one-tenth, and Germany one-
but during the year ending
1910, the United Kingdom
look about two-fifths, Germany nearly
one-seventh. The exports to Italy
since have increased more than
sixfold.
In Japan and China
The exports to Japan are
more because of the remarkable
variations in the- quantities for the
different years than because of the
development of the trade. This may
be explained by the fact that when
the price of American cotton com-
high Japan reduces its
imports of raw material from the
States and increases its
ports of Indian cotton. The exports
to Canada in 1880 amounted to only
bales, compared with 120.744
in 1910. The decrease in the ex-
ports to Russia is accounted for in
part by the increased of
cotton in Russian territory and by
the importation of Persian cotton. It
is explained that the decrease in the
demand for our fabrics in China
the export year 1910 was due
chiefly to the fact that in the early
fall of 1909 the market was well stock
ed with American goods and to the
disparity between prices later in the
year and those that prevailed during
he previous years.

than goods manufactured by
mills, which are being sold in
China and Manchuria at the low

selling at about cents per pound

grown cotton at a cost from to

A large number of representatives
citizens assembled in hall,
Thursday night. In response to the
call a special meeting of the
Chamber of commerce to hear an ad-
dress on the question of good roads
by Mr. John L. King, chairman
the roads commission, of Guilford
county.
The meeting was called to order
by President H. A. Wake, who after
some remarks upon the necessity for
good roads, and the interest in them
in this section, introduced the speak-

and has been expended
upon the roads of Guilford county,
and up there feel that the returns
have more than justified the expense.
We began about six years ago to
build roads with a bond issue. There
were all kinds of argument against
this by those who were opposed to
bonds. They said the money would
be waisted and the good roads would
never reach more than three miles
from town. We first built a few
miles of macadam road as an object
lesson before the election
Down here in Pitt county you are
very fortunately situated, as you can
build roads so much cheaper than
they cost us in Guilford. Here you
can easily build them at a cost of
to per mile. I suppose
all are In favor or good roads, but
there is a difference of opinion as to
how they shall be obtained. The
least burden is placed the tax
payers by issuing bonds to build
roads. We in

There is not a city with any per-
Improvements but what are
paid for with bond issues. That is
the Way to obtain improvements,
otherwise you burden the people with
taxes. As a rule the best business
people Live in the towns, and if they
find it good policy to make improve-
with bonds, why is it not
equally as good for the people of the
country It is the most economical
the least burdensome.
There is talk and interest in good
roads everywhere, and Tilt county
must improve her roads. You can-
not afford to be in the back-ground
with all the counties around you go-
forward. If it is done it will
be with a bond issue, then

to secure and build your training

would not let that school be taken
away now for double what it cost
you. That is just the way we feel
our roads hi Guilford county.
We sometimes see Jealousy exist-
between the and the
but it is not so among broad
minded people. When you benefit
Greenville you benefit your county,
when you benefit your county,
you benefit Greenville. If the town
is prosperous the country will pros-
per, and vice versa.
Before we built good roads in
Guilford our road tax
on the valuation, and the tax is
more since we issued bonds to
build the roads. Good roads are
cheap at any price if the money is
judiciously expended.
Mr. King's talk, delivered in con-
G style, was practical, Inter-
and effective. After ho had
concluded, a road law enacted for
township in Franklin
county was read to give those present
an idea of the operations of a town-
ship road law.
A motion was then made and
adopted that the president
of the chamber of commerce appoint
committee of four, himself to be
one of them, to draw a suitable bill
for a road for Greenville town-
ship, this to be submitted to a sub-
sequent meeting of the chamber of
commerce, and after approval to be
sent to the general assembly asking
that the be passed subject to a
of the people of the township.
The is to provide for a bond is-
sue of bonds to run thirty
years at a of interest not exceed
per cent., the tax rate not to be
less than cents nor more than
on the valuation. The com-
appointed consisted of s. J.
Everett, O. L. Joyner, C. Laugh-
and H. A. White.
After the consideration of the road
matters had been concluded, Mr.
Fran P. of the National Ma-
was introduced, and
a proposition to have Greenville
advertised in the forthcoming North
Carolina edition of that magazine.
A committee consisting of B. B.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 1911.
MOVEMENT FOR GOOD ROADS.
A meeting of citizens of the
township was held in the city hall,
Mi night, to hear read and take
action a proposed bill to be
to the present general as-
authorizing the people of
Greenville township to vote on the
Question of issuing bonds In an
amount not exceeding to
build good roads in the township.
Congressman John H. Small, of
this district, is a man who is on to
his job, and is always on lookout
matters that affect the people
especially those of the rural districts
When he finds that any are being
discriminated against he is not
slow to express himself strongly
ind plainly, and to use his best
forts to have the wrong righted,
Washington correspondent of the
News and Observer makes
tuts of a speech he made in
congress on the
cause a half hour a day was added
to their time on duty when
they were putting in about seven
hours a day. Now Postmaster Gen-
Hitchcock has that
postal clerks shall average as much
as six-and-a-half hours work a day,
and a dispatch from Washington says
his order has almost thrown the
clerks in the service into a revolt.
The people who maintain the govern-
have lo work many more hours
a day than that, and they see no
reason why government
should not also do some work.
The full text of the bill
as adopted
by nils mass meeting is published ii
another column that all interest-
ed may have an opportunity of read-
it and knowing just what Us
provisions are.
The Reflector believes that the bill
is a good and proper one, and if

HOW TO GET THINGS
It is certainly refreshing and in-
spiring to observe the way the city
of Charlotte does things when she
goes at them. A movement is on
foot to build an interurban
road connecting the towns through-
out that section, and the amount -of
stock in the enterprise allotted lo

night at which two or three thrill-
speeches were made on the sub-

subscriptions were called for

few minutes, and the remainder was
subscribed the next day. There is
nothing about Charlotte, and
we would be glad to see the spirit
of enterprise existing there

The Reflector believes that it
would be good policy for any town
that is trying to secure or wants the
location of manufacturing
es, to exempt such plants from
taxes for a certain period of
years, at least until they are
long enough to be on a paying
basis. Factories are a great help to
a town, and to relieve them from
such taxation would not only hold
out an inducement to them to come
but also would pay the town in the
long run. We have known of in-
stances where factories would have
located in Greenville but were turned
away after the prospectors looked in-
to the matter of municipal taxation.

Then came Governor Kitchin who

When Governor Kitchin became

to emphasize as brought out in the

Naming The Farm.
A good many of the farmers of
Mecklenburg county have given favor
to the Idea of naming their farms and
as a general thing the names select-
ed by their wives and daughters
the farmers delegate the task to them
have an attractive sounding. In
the South Carolina legislature, Sen-
of has
had passed a bill that allows the
owners of farms to register the same
by name and prevent infringement on
such registration. Commenting on
this, The Enquirer
are those who think that there
is a romantic sentiment in this idea
that is more or less foolish; but we
do not agree with them. We think
the idea is good. If the house
lows Senator bill to go
through, as we hope It will, we
would like to see every York county
farm registered. The thing strikes
us as being very practical and cal-
to bring practical results.
Rivalry in the productiveness, con-
and beauty of farms is cal-
to contribute to the glory of
the county and State and tho naming
of farms is calculated to promote
this rivalry. Of course, it is under-
stood that the bill does not
plate any compulsion about the mat-
It merely seeks to allow those
who desire to register the names of
their farms to do so, and if they
make these names of value to pro-
them in the enjoyment of that
which they themselves have
Any movement that gives encourage-
to the farmers to name their
farms, is a good one, for It has the
exact tendency claimed for It by
The Chronicle.

the beautiful ritual Episcopal
service, which was performed by
Rev. B. F. Huske, of New Bern, the
ring ceremony being used.
The hospitable home presented an
unusually pretty appearance with its
decorations of fern and potted plants,
intermingled with numerous candles
which gave a soft glow of light in
tho reception hall and parlor.
Just after the guests had
bled in the parlor, was
charmingly rendered by Miss Bettie

Then came little Miss Blanche Dav-
as ring bearer, followed by
the bride and groom. The wore
a pretty blue tailored suit with hat
and gloves to match.
The bridal gifts were many and
beautiful, in cut glass, hand-painted
