Again It becomes the pleasure of
The Reflector to note the advance-
of a Pitt county boy. Mr. C.
J. Jackson, who was raised near Win-
and who for a year or more
has been director of religious work
in connection with the Young Men's
Christian Association in Nashville,
Tenn., has been made slate secretary
of the Y. M. C. A., of Tennessee. The
paper of Nashville speak most high-
Mr. Jackson. From one of these,
the Association News, we take the
Tin- State Committee secures a man
for Slate Secretary who is by nature
and training prepared and equipped
for the arduous duties of the office.
Mr. C. J. Jackson, who is to assume
the State Secretary
1913. graduated from Wake
Forest College. N. C, in 1909, and
entered the secretaryship of the
Young Men's Christian Association
in September. 1909, as Secretary of
the Student organization at the
of Tennessee. After one year's
service in this position he was
by Mr. State Secretary, to
become Field Secretary for the Slate
Committee, which position he held
August, 1912. During this term he
gave much time to the financial prob-
of the state committee, where
rendered very valuable service.
From August, 1912, to February
Mr. Jackson has been Executive
Secretary of the Nashville Y. It C.
A., and so comes Into his new office
having had one year's experience as
Student Secretary, two
in State Work, and several
experience in an important
position with one of the largest City-
Associations in the state.
In addition to the personal qualities
Mr. Jackson possesses that make him
a valuable man as State Secretary,
and enable him to render efficient
service, Mr. Jackson has the
of being personally acquainted
with every employed officer of the
Young Men's Christian Association In
Tennessee and Is familiar with the
problems before the associations Of
the state.
In his work as Field Secretary Mr.
formed the
and won the friendship of many bus-
men over the state and so the
State Committee feels that In
him for State Secretary it has
thereby rendered service to all the

Introduces Bill to ;
Highway Commission For
Pitt County
Representative D. M. Clark has In-
a bill in the legislature to
create a commission for Pitt
county. A copy of the bill has been
sent The Reflector, but owing to i's
great length we do not have space
to give it in full. We can give only
a synopsis of the different sections
of the bill, but if any one wishes to
read the entire bill it can be seen
by calling at The Reflector office.
I Section one provides for a highway
commission composed of three
of the county to be appointed
by the county commissioners for two,
four and six years respectively, each
to serve until his successor is elected
and qualified.
Section two places all roads, cart-
ways and bridges along public roads
the county under the exclusive
and control of the highway i
commission.
I Section three stipulates when the
term of office of the commission shall
begin.
I Section four provides for the fill-
of any vacancy on the
I Section five provides for the
of one member of the commission
as secretary and treasurer.
I Section six fixes the salary of the
secretary and treasurer at not ex-
per month, and defines
bis duties and directs as to the de-
posit and account funds.
Section seven stipulates that after
the qualification of the highway com-
mission, the county commissioners
shall turn over to them all road ma-
stock, Implements and
property now in use, and that the
county treasurer turn over to the
secretary and treasurer of the com-
mission all taxes levied and collect-
ed for road purposes.
