AS TO INSURANCE OATES. NORTH CAROLINA. JUNE 1906 With as much meanness as in Russia there need be no prise that Mr. visit was looked with suspicion. The Charlotte Observer vowed it would never call it anything but a dying machine, yet in the very next item referred to it as an airship. An coincidence in con Motion with gifts, is that every time he makes one the price of oil or pops up. should be put along in the with The whoppers he tells entitles him to that distinction, This is the dull time of year, and who can pay their debts should do so and help relieve the strain. A little money turned loose now would go a long ways. The way other Eastern North Car- towns are forging will put the blush Greenville if this Iowa dues not get a bigger move on herself. The statement is made that the South got less than of the immigrants who arrived at New York during last month. That was mop of them than the needed unless they were a class. ISSUE BONDS FOR ROADS In selecting officers this Pitt county should have a board of commissioners and of the Legislature who favor good roads A bill should be prepared and the next Legislature letting question be submitted to a vote of the of Pitt county of for the construction of good i throughout the The that the question bonds is not yet a one. ill perhaps a majority of the of this county, but it is a i bat must come sooner or later. is a disgrace to a county as large and as with; as that we have u-h miserable roads, and these r- never going to be much In until there is a bond is- sue to ones. The people county are every day losing money because of bad roads they realize, for such roads as n exist a-e indirectly an enormous lax upon them. Just how anybody who will stop and consider the results can be opposed to good roads we are unable to understand. Here i- the situation. Pitt county at pr. sent levying a road of each valuation. Each lax payer can figure this lax on the of Ins much it lakes out of his each year, to say nothing of additional cost that mes to him indirectly from the bad roads. Then link over the county and see good spending this money on d-r the present system of roads amounts to. It is ally that much wasted. True little lies of road here and there may he improved, but there is no per- about the w irk done the other hand note the differ- if there was a bond issue build these roads. We believe bond issue of say would be amply sufficient to construct permanent roads in every part of the county. The interest at per on would require only a year, and s tax levy of i i- on each valuation would lolly meet this interest. Lei the i. x payer again figure out the lire between cents and lit cents i n the aggregate of his pro party d see how much this would save him each year. Then with tie bond issue all the roads could built in a short while so that tic people could gel the l them. Another thing lo be considered is he roved good roods bring.

If our business men would take a trip to some towns that might be named and see how facto- there increase trade, they might awaken to the need of such enter- prises here at home. It has leaked out that John D. Rockefeller was the donor who had given a quarter million dollars lo erect a handsome naval Y. M. C. A. building in Norfolk. The purchasers of oil and gasoline will soon pay enough advance in price to keep the old man's bank account from being any less be- cause of the donation.

No, it was not the way and the pity The head of the horse was blown off, but if it had been the of the brute t used nobody would have cared. North Carolina has some peculiar folks. They fume and fret because the railroads and corporations have such a grasp on the throats of the people, openly defy our laws and impose such unjust burdens on the public, yet when they go to a convention they turn down the very best men who are offered tiling to about Greenville be- entitled to a lower insurance In this connection we beg to advise you. and through your paper the people of Greenville, that by a unanimous adoption by the local board of fire underwriters of resolutions set- ting forth the improvements of our town, Mr B. Taylor, agent of the association, has come to Greenville for the pose of revising and reducing the rates for fire insurance here. Had you, or any member of your staff, been present in the may- or's office this morning at you would have witness- ed a meeting of the entire board of aldermen of our town, attend- ed by the entire hoard of fire underwriters and Special Rep- B. Taylor; for the sole purpose of inferring to- asking questions, and making suggestions in order to procure this reduction. We also beg to advise that Representative is still here, and will be for several days, and that he is now going over our rates making the pro- per reductions. It v ill be thirty days before this work can be completed, but it is progressing rapidly. W. L. Pres. P. M. Board.

The town is not going to make the progress it should make until there is some Can any o consider the saving and advantages of good roads and still be opposed to A bond issue is the best moans of securing these conditions. Greenville lives so much in the growth the town is going to be slow. There should he a spirit of all working together t secure the things the town needs. Not a week but what a good board of trade could accomplish something along this line.

No partition of such a vast of the world's surface had ever taken place in so short a space of time, nor any one of even approach- magnitude, without severe and bloody human struggles.

A great many of the and pegs in the lock are believed to have been made of wool, as their places now empty. The notches and pegs in the key. show that there were correspond- pegs and bars in the lock at one time. The great lateral iron bars st the end of the key, with their complicated series of notches, cross- bars, bumps, etc. are proof that the lock was once similarly provided. This being the case, it is reasonable lo suppose that at one time the door to the palace could not have been opened until the key had been inserted and the impediment to the drawing beck of the bolt removed by raising up so many bars and pins which had fallen down into their places upon the key having bees withdrawn.
