Opposed to Election on Bond Issue
For Good Roads.
Editor
The writer hap hesitated to mix
with the Reflector on a question
which seems to he pretty well fixed
with the sentiment of its editorial
columns, well knowing that it is bad
policy to try to shoot an assailant
with his own gun, but it seems to
me that the position of the bond
is soaring into such
atmosphere that something ought to
be done to call their attention to a
few facts before they melt their wax
in the rays of the evening sun.
The writer also recognizes that an
argument with a newspaper is not
unlike one with a woman, and there-
fore is prepared to have the paper
say the last word.
It sounds somewhat strange to
hear the advocates of the bond bill
accusing who it of be-
afraid of the
ally when in the meeting that
brought forth the bill and a motion
woo made to defer the matter until
the general public could apprised
of the step proposed, those who dad-
died the bill voted the motion down,
and that, too, in face of the fact that
forty-eight hours notice had
been given of the meeting and half
of that time extended over a Sun-
day. On the other hand when those
who opposed the measure called a
meeting, there assembled in the
town hall in response thereto about
the largest crowd exclusively of
white people that has ever assembled
therein since it was built, and no
one seemed to be afraid of the
gathered there. In the light of
all this, who is it that is afraid of
the people
How really amusing it is to look
at the pious attitude of the bond bill
advocates, after they have loaded
the with paper wads for
the use of the people and the other
with lead which they propose to
with, parading before the camp
of the Israelites and loudly
them to battle
In order to have a fair Mr.
Editor, why not give both sides the
same weapons Why should a new

Mr. Editor if we lick you fair
in one battle, why should the county
be put to the cost of holding

It seems to me that your idea of
a fair to decide a matter, is to
give you the best and most
weapon, and then amend
the usual, rules of as to
give you as many trials at the plum
as suits your desires. This is some-
times done when a big boy jumps on

benefit, but it is a new wrinkle in
the code of grown folks to follow
any such procedure, especially when

DEATH OF WILLIAM W. MOORE.
Popular Young Man Succumbs After
Brave Battle.
SUGGESTIONS ON
CORN WORK
The death at o'clock this morn-
of William Wallace Moore at the
home of his sister, Mrs. J. D. Murphy
, avenue came as a shock
to a large circle of friends in Ashe-
ville. Mr. Moore had been in failing
health for the past several years and
while some of his intimate friends re-
that he was a very sick man
others were not aware that his
was so critical Mr. Moore came
to Asheville from eastern North Car-
nearly years ago. He was
pointed a clerk in the Asheville post-
office by former Postmaster J. P.
Kerr in 1893, and had been in the
service here continuously for almost
years. At the time of his death
Mr. Moore was superintendent of city
carriers and city distributors.
Moore, as he was familiarly
known among a large circle of friends,
was a fine fellow. He was a gentle-
man in every sense of the word; a
friend, one might say, to everyone.
His was a gentle nature. He was free
from malice or hatred and ever de-
lighted to do a friend a service. In
June, 1908, when the great struggle
for the Democratic nomination for
governor of North Carolina between
Mr. Craig and Mr. Kitchin was on at
Charlotte, Mr. Moore over-exerted
himself in the cause of Mr. Craig. He
became enthusiastic, as almost every-
body else did at that time, and his
vocal organs practically gave way.
For months and months after the con-
Mr. Moore could not speak
above a whisper. In fact, he never
entirely regained his voice. The
strain during those convention days
evidently weakened his constitution
and at times since then Mr. Moore
found it necessary to cease work for
days at a time. However, he was on
duty not so long ago, as usual,
was cheerful and hopeful. Mr. Moore
was born March 1872, and was
therefore almost years of He
was a staunch and sterling Democrat.

How Our Farmers Can Obtain the
Best Results the Coming Year in
and Cultivation
GREETINGS FROM CALIFORNIA.
Make no haste to be rich if you
would prosper,
Editor
I read in the Daily Reflector recent-
a call from Prof. W. H.
to all the boys, members of the corn
club of 1910, and those who desire to
become members in 1911, to a meet-
to be held in Greenville on
18th. I wish to add to that call
an invitation to the fathers of the
boys. We want to give all the
to the boys that we can, for
the boys of today are to be the men of
tomorrow. As agriculture is the
of our future prosperity, it i.
essential that we do all we to
educate our boys along that line
The great American grain food for
men and stock is corn, and by using
good methods in preparing and
our lands, we can very easily
make all the corn we need on our
farms. I have been in the
ion work in this county two years,
and my observation and experience
has taught me that we can make
bushels of corn where we are now
making bushels. I had numbers
of men on my work last year who
made bushels, and some as high
as bushels on high land.
There are that are es-
to good
Drainage. Where land is full of
water it shuts out the sun and air,
and no plant can grow in cold, wet
seed bed.
Deep Breaking. When we break
to or inches we may expect a
or inch crop. Experiments have
shown that corn sends some of its
roots or feet deep where the soil
is porous. in case of ex-
rains the water sinks below
the roots of the plants, and in dry
seasons allows the roots to go down
and get moisture.
Humus. Without humus we can
never get the results our lands are
capable of producing. It is especially
necessary to have humus in our soil
to get the best results from
fertilizers. I believe the farmers of
our county use every year thousands
of dollars worth of fertilizers that
does them practically no good, be-
cause of using it intelligently.
Right here I want to say we should
study the fertilizer problem more,
and the practical application of
to the soil.
Last, but not least, the selection
of good seed. I have men on my work
in this county who in paying close
attention to the selection of their
seed have improved their corn from
an ordinary one-eared variety to a
very good two-eared variety. We
should always select our seed corn
from the field, for then we can get
the right type of ear from the right
type of stalk. When we select our corn
from the barn, we do not know
it grew on a one-eared stalk or a
two-eared stalk. In my work I have
gotten the best results in every in-
stance where the prolific corn was
planted.
We will have with us the Mr. C.
R. Hudson, the head of the demon-
work in this State and Mr. I.
O. the head of the corn
club work. We desire that the boys
and will bring with them some
com, and the gentlemen above men-
will go over the exhibits and
help them select the best ears for
planting.

MR. H. A. WHITE GETS LETTER
Franklinton Township Has a Road
Law Similar to The One Proposed
For Green Hie Township They
Are Over Results of
-The Law.
The bill now pending in the leg-
to permit the people of
Greenville township to vote on the
question of Issuing bonds for good
roads, was drawn almost similar to
one passed a few years ago for Frank-
township in Franklin county.
Mr. H. A. White recently wrote Mr.
H. A. Vann, of Franklinton, to as-
certain how the people there were
satisfied with results, and received
the following reply.
Franklinton, N, C, Feb. 1911.
Mr. H. A. White,
Greenville, N. C.
My dear
I have your letter of January 31st,
relative to the road question, and
would have answered more promptly
but have been so very busy that this
is my first opportunity.
There are such a number of things
to be said for roads that I hardly
know where to begin. From an
standpoint, good roads mean
more to the farmer than anybody can
state in words. You can stand on
our streets today and see a little
mule hitched to a one-horse wagon
in town with three bales of cotton
on, and that same mule, before we
had good roads, could hardly get
here with one bale. Farmers who
had wood for sale and couldn't mar-
it on account of the bad roads,
are now bringing their wood to town,
hauling from half to three-quarters
of a cord at a time, from five miles
out. I know farmers who used to
market their products four miles
from home because they had an
road to go over; now they
bring them seven miles to Frank-
because they have a good road.
Another farmer who owns about
acres of land told me that he saved
enough in three days hauling, using
two mules and hauling wood five
miles, to pay his road tax for this
year. One man fought the bond is-
sue so hard that when he found that
he was beaten, he had to be carried
home and was sick for a week.
When the engineer got to his place
laying out the road, he not only had
become an enthusiastic road man,
but took down his front fence to
make room for it.
If we were to hold the election
over again, I don't believe there
would be five men to vote against it.
To show you in a more substantial
way how farmers feel about it, we
have not had to pay a single cent
in damages and we have completed
over forty miles of roads.
Another question is the increase in
land values. There's a farm three
miles from town which couldn't be
sold at two months after
a good road was put through it, it
sold for cash.
These facts I've given you are

Is There too Much Politics in Papers
We believe in political papers, in
a country governed like ours they
are necessary. We that when
a man reaches the age that entities

fully into the principles of the
political parties and select the
one whose principles he considers
beat Then ho should stay with
that party as far as he goes in

i that its principles and politics are
I wrong. While we believe this,
no reason why a voter should become
so wrapped up in his that he
feels bitter toward all who differ
from him.
There are people In every com-
who are not with
a newspaper unless it is very bitter
toward the opposite party. To use
the idea expressed by another, they
expect the editor to be continually
and pawing the earth,
chewing the bit and foaming at the
mouth and calling men liars,
and They want to
say very hard things themselves
through papers and let the publish-
take the and financial
loss which conies to the paper be-
cause it contains such articles. They
are ready to say almost anything,

being seen in the matter at all.
These people are very hard to suit
and can never be satisfied unless
the editor bows down to them on
every occasion. This we dislike to
do. We prefer to keep our manhood
These people never stop to think

not hot headed over politics. The
people generally want some politics
in papers, but do not want to much.
They think a man can stand by his

Under the above head the
Journal, edited by Mr. R. F. Beasley
one of the most able editors in the
state, has the following to say of the
insurance
Notwithstanding the governor's
strong recommendation that the leg-
make some investigation of
the condition under which fire in-
is sold in this state, the in-
lobby has secured an
report to a bill providing for
such investigation. The fire
companies have stated the way
of all such corporations. Such policy
has always been to declare that there
was nothing wrong, and if there was,
it was none of the business.
Thus at a time when the good will of
the public might have been secured
by frank and open dealing, every one
of these corporations have blindly
pursued the policy of doing nothing
until driven to it. If there is
dead up the insurance branch it
would hurt nobody to let a
committee walk up and sniff
around some.
The insurance companies have had
everything their own way North
Carolina; the insurance department
is really a device for protecting them
and not the people. They may
vent an investigation now, which, of
course, only means a more stringent
one at some future time.
The Journal, it seems to us, is
looking at the matter from the
viewpoint. A great many
thought no investigation was needed
when the matter was first suggested.
But the activity of the fire insurance
companies to prevent investigation is
calculated to cause one to pause and
think. Some of the methods they are
using to prevent investigation also
suggests that they would not be
overly scrupulous when the business
in hand was strictly that of
If they resort to crooked deal-
to prevent an investigation it is
not too much to suppose that they
would use the same methods in other

He said that to issue bonds to build

lays the golden egg by destroying the
cents road tax now being collected

is true. To issue bonds to
build roads would be gathering these
cents road tax in a basket
and applying the aggregate to the
accomplishment of some good, instead
of letting the eggs be dropped here

working for, will pay interest on the
bonds to build the roads, create a
sinking fund to pay the bonds when
they mature and have some over for
maintenance of the roads after they
are built. The difference between

of South Carolina.
South Carolina is peculiarly blessed
in having at hand proper materials
and conditions for constructing an
ideal system of roads. Over the
part of her area are found, side
by side, sand and clays excellent for
constructing sand-clay roads; which
our requirements, if properly con-
are surpassed by none. The

with a capacity of, cubic feet,
should be provided when there is any
amount of cut and fill; as they will
prove a great saving over wagons. A
disk should be provided for
cutting up the clay on the roadway
to mixing it with the
sand; and a spike or spring-tooth
narrow for mixing the sand and clay.
The best sand-clay road is one in
which the wearing surface is com-

Whenever this mixture, prop-
proportioned, is packed six to
eight inches upon, the surface

heavy traffic for a long time and
keep good condition; provided the
drainage is good and the grades are
excessive. From what has been
said above it is seen that in order
to get the best results all of the
voids in the sand must be tilled with
clay. The of voids may be
determined by taking a sample of
the sand and thoroughly drying it in
an then take a quart cup full
of this sand and a quart cup full of
water and pour the water into the
sand until tho voids are filled and
the water stands level with the
face of the sand. The water absorb-
ed by the sand can be taken as an
approximate measure of the voids
in the quart of sand. A simple cal-
will reduce this to per cent
of voids.

If the surface is to be finish-
ed at once there should be provided

roller being either horsepower or a
steam roller.

rubbing a sample In the palms of the
hands and noting if there is any
cutting action and how much dirt
there is left on the hands. Tho clay
should be plastic and sticky and also
should slake fairly easy. Care should
be exercised to select a clay that
does not slake too easy, that it fall
to pieces easily; as the binding power
will be deficit. Great care should
also be exercised to select a clay
that does not shrink too much on
drying out. as this will cause the
face to crack and thus weaken the
road. This tendency may be
to some extent by adding
more sand.
Experience has shown that the
tendency is to calculate too little
rather than too much sand for given
amounts of clay, and it will
be necessary to make the

There are two conditions to be dealt

be of clay it must be improved by
the addition of sand. Since In these
two cases the methods of

be treated separately in detail.

Will you please inform me if there

any persons by the name of

relatives of mine and I would be glad
to correspond with them. My father
and mother were born and raised in
Pitt, county. My grandfather
ton's given name was John, and my
grandmother was named Hannah.
My father's name was Lacy Braxton.
One of his brothers was named
another was
named John, and I think another was
Charles. He had one sister who mar-
a man by the name of Luke Lo-
hon or There may have
been more brothers and sisters, but
these are all that I can call to mind
now.
My father's first wife and my moth-
was Elizabeth Parker. There were
three children born to that union;
the first one named Marion died in
infancy, the second, Elbert, lived to
be about years old and died in
Tennessee, the third and last one was
myself, Elias, and I am years old.
My mother died in Pitt county in 1846
and my father married a second time
in 1848 or His last wife was
named Tripp, daughter of
Tripp, of Pitt county. They
moved to Tennessee in 1849 and
ed six children, all cf whom are
there, except one who is living
in Texas.
My father has b en dead near
years. My grandfather Parker, I
think, lived and died in Pitt county.
My mother had two brothers and two
sisters that I can remember, the
brothers being Frank and James Park
the sisters Sylva, who married
Simon Hamilton and Rachael, who
married a man by the name of Jesse
Braxton. They moved to Tennessee
in an early day.
If you can place this letter in the

confer a very great favor upon me,
and I will be glad if they will write

A Letter From a Former Pitt
That Takes Us Back to Early
Folks Glad at His
Success In the North.
Occasionally there comes some
pleasant reminder of I'm happy
past from a friend of the days of
youth that is truly refreshing. The
editor is in receipt of such a letter
from a of other days, Mr. C.
P. Wilson, of Morristown, N. J., and
while it is written in a personal way,
he is so well remembered here that
we know many of our readers will
be interested in some extracts from
it. His letter takes us back to those
days in our early business career,
now a quarter century gone, when
Claude Wilson was one of the Re-
boys, and he, Ed. Harris
poet on the and the editor
spent many happy hours around the
and in the woods on the river
together. In the latter Claude
drifted away from us, a little later
cast his lot In the North where he
has risen to great prominence In the
legal profession, and hie success
makes us proud of this former son

rows gathering in the brow, it

how to read, some gray hairs would
appear if the did not keep them

around the family fireside, thins
that would ordinarily make a man
think he was getting old. the
heart is yet young, and those
days of the past seem but as

This reminiscent mood is about to

i he neat appearance of your paper
and its if may be per-
to coin a word which seems
to fit.
I am prompted to write you by
some items in your issue of the 15th.
The name of T. F. Christman. who
writes from Cal., seems
perfectly familiar, although it is now
twenty years since I have been in
Greenville except to pass through on
the train. I remember Blow
perfectly, and can in my
mind's eye as I write. He worked
for father in the register of deeds

was serving my apprenticeship with
you. And to read about Miss Bruce
