1 M Protest Road Board (Continued from page 1). Murfreeiboro road commiaaionei The latter aaid maintenance wor had been done in hia township, an cited several roads. Mr. Whitley ha seen only one of them, and said i was so narrow two persons could n< pass on it. Construction work in th township, Mr. Bridger said, had bee st a standstill on account of inabilit to find a location for a convict cam in his township. Thiis, he explainer had now been secured and the cor victs, which are now held in HarrelU vile township, would be sent over a soon as the camp was ready. Di Powell said he was ready and waitini to send the convicts to Mr. Bridget Mr. Worrell, of Maneys Neck, also de nied that no work had been done ii his township, and pointed out severs roads that had been constructed ani others maintained. The short and ugly word was pass ed during the afternoon, and tensioi ran high during the free-for-all die cussion. Dr. Powell admitted tha he did not think much of several ran dom statements about hmself and thi board he had heard. Mr. Whiitle; admitted he had made one?"Doc tors can roll pills but they canno build roads." He stood by it, an< said he still believed it He said h< knew nothing of road building an< asserted that the members of thi board did not. Other statements hi had made were admitted by him, anc re-asserted. The road chairman anc his associates believed they had don< better than Mr. Hines had, and cited figures showing the money saved. Reference was also made repeated ly to the discrimination in favor of Murfreesboro during the administra tion of Mf. Hines, and the road board believed back of all the kick from that township was a desire to get Hines back and again get a great amount of the work. Dr. Powell also re gretfully, he said, recalled the action of the county's representatives in , breaking a gentleman's agreement when the road law was framed, mak ing the road administration under a county system. He also mentioned the |10,000 debt in Murfreesboro township that was taken over by the county board under the new law. Just to show the work that had oecn done, the board left Winton at half past four o'clock for a tour of Harrpllsville township, going over the grew road from Winton. Most of this road was in fine shape, and work was 'under way on that portion not completed. Inspection was also made of the (Trading done on the Har rellsville-Trap road. Three steel and concrete foundation bridges on this road were also looked over. All of the bridges were apparently good Specimens of engineering and con struction, and, according to Dr. Pow ell, had been built at much less cost than contract prices. The grading ? under way will make this one of the best highways in tjie county. Leaving Harrellsville township, the board drove to Stoney Creek via Powellsville and took a look at the new road being constructed under the supervision of J. R. Garrett, Ahoskie member. This road was in good shape, all of the new right of way being opened to traffic, and the old bed abandoned where it takes a sharp turn on this side of the creek. The right of way just across the bridge on the sharp hill has also been diverted to the right, and is now being used. It cuts out a sharp turn at the top of the hill. Contractors are also at work on the new bridge to be built over the creek. * AULANDER-JACKSON ROAD * WILL BE GRAVEL SURFACE * _____ * At the first sittin| to receive * bids in several months, the State * Highway Commission on Tues * day were submitted bids on 28 * projects aggregating $3,879,143. * Included in the list were two pro * jects in this immediate territory. * Project 146, route 306, be * tween Aulander and Northamp * ton County line, 6.42 miles of * gravel.

I ROBBERS ARE AGAIN BUSY IN AHOSKIE Four Local Store* Entered Wednesday Night And Money Taken From Register I For the third time within the last 1 few weeks, thieves made a raid in Ahoskie Wednesday night. At four I different places of business on Main I Street, cash and goods were taken. I Entrance was made through windows, I and doors by using something similar I to a crowbar or chisel to prise open I the door or window. The stores en I tered were: Copeland Drug Com I pany, Mrs. E. C. Britton, D. L. Thomas A Son, and the garage of Geo. J. Newbern A Co. I At Copeland's a chisel or some such I instrument was used to prize the I front door open, part of the door be I ing torn up to reach the lock. Two I dollars and a half in cash, and one j bottle of cocaine were the only ob jects missing. Entrance was made at Mrs. Britton's in a similar manner. I Here the robber swiped between two I and three dozen pairs of shoes and at least two dresses. They left this I store via the back door, lifting the bar out of its place. i I Leaving Mrs. Britton's store via the t back door, they made for the next , store, D. L. Thomas A Son, and broke , a back window to gain entrance. A , lot of cigars and cigarettes and about , two hundred pennies left in the cash register were taken. Escape was i made through the front door. A half dozen automobile tires and about two dollars in change were stol I en from Newbern's garage. A rear I window was prised up and the win I dow lock broken, to enter the gar [ I age. ' No trace of the robber or robbers ' I has been found. Summer heat has the same effect ? I on fertile eggs as the hen or incu . I bator. The fertile germ will quickly ? 1 make a blood ring which spoils the I eggs for market or food.
