Last week we mentioned the .fact that a committee from the Cham ber of Commerce of Greensboro was in Graham Thursday morning looking over the State Highway through Alamance. The following which appeared In the Greensboro Daily News Friday morning, tells of the condition of the highway, and is not very complimentary to Alamance, and it behooves this county to Improve conditions. The Daily News says: The committee of the good roads I bureau of the chamber of com merce detailed to Investigate the Central Highway to the east of Greensboro spent the greater part of yesterday op the road, be ing convoyed by C. W. Edwards in his big Cadillac. Rumor had It that the critical points between Greens boro and Durham were to be found, in eastern Alamance, and there hai been advice from Mayor W. 8. Crawford of Mebane to the effect that It was desirable that all per sons Interested unite for tha purpose of trying to induce the Alsmance authorities to complete the stretch of highway between Trollnwood and Mebane. Mr. Crawford wrote to the chamber of commerce and leading business men from Ral eigh to Greensboro, along the route asking thst they Join In a rep resentation before the Alamance oounty commissioners, a hearing having been arranged for March 6. Mayor Crawford Wrote that hehaa been Informed "that the State highway had withdrawn an appro priation of tSO per mile, for the upkeep of the Mebane-Hillsboro link of the highway on account of the fact that Alamance has not completed the Mebane-Haw River link. It is bad advertising for our entire section, and many tourists will take other roads in preference (f the work Is not done." Mayor Crawford said also, "the State at large, as well as the county, Is In terested In this matter, In so far as it is interested In having n creditable highway from the coast to the mountains.' "We found indications," said a member of the good roads bureau party last evening, "that rumor had not exaggerated, during the rainy weather prior to groundhog day, when It reported the strip of roaa between Mebane and Trollnwood an In a bad fix. Thanks to some re pair work and the ministrations of the sun, we got Over all right to day, although there are still three or four boggy places. We were In formed there were about four ana a half miles of this road. It lies well, trees have been cut away ad mitting the sun, the grade is excel lent and wide. But It Is the natu ral Piedmont clay—it badly wanta finishing by the proper admixture of sand or top aiL Certainly the whole territory traversed by this highway ought to do whatever can be done toward the completion of this one Unk of raw clay and mak ing a road of it. "Not losing sight of our own ' Bast Market Street, one section of the rest 81 the road which has evoked h emost complaint Is in the municipality of Blon College. They are sow at work sanding that —and they are piling the sand on in generous proportions. Our own county authorities are doing some much needed work at the South Buffalo bridge." v „ It is understoon that the report of ths committee to the good roads bureau will recommend thst ths request of Msyor Crawford, of Mehsne be complied with by the chsmber of commerce of the other towns siong the route signify their C\, intention to send representatives to the hesring st Orshsm on Msrch •th. 5 , Mr. 11.

Chapel Hill, Feb. 16 —One hun dred and thirty-four delegates from 45 counties in North Carolina and from six other States attended the Third Road Institute In session nt the University Feb. 7-11. To use the words of Dr. Joseph Pratt, State Oeologist ana Direc tor of the Institute, "The result has been far beyond our expectations. The Institute has done more to ward the cause of Good Roads in North Carolina than anything else save the establishment of the State nigh way Commission, with which we are in hearty co-operation. The Institute brought together 134 men who are all actively engaged or in terested In the construction of good roads in 45 North Carolina coun ties. The Road Institute Is the clearing house for all road prob lems." .' On Tuesday and agnln on Thura (lay, Feb. Bth and 10th, the Insti tute dwelt upon the general topic of "Maintenance ana Repair of Hoada;" "Road Construction" waa discussed Wednesday; and "Road Surfacing Materials" and "Culverts and Bridges" waa the general sub ject of discussion Friday. One of the special features of the Institute waa the round table dls cuaaion of Road problems. In which all delegates were free to tell of their experiences, successes and failures. And according to Dr. Pratt and Mr. Fallis, State High way Engineer, there waa not a delegate but contributed something to the success of the Institute. Ana that the delegates got something worth while out of the week at Chapel Hill, Is evidenced by a re mark made by one of the delegates from Western S. C., to Dr. Pratt, "that he would give $fl«0 out of hia own pocket to have had the other members of his committer attend the Institute. The Institute adjourned Friday afternoon. The aelegates were much impressed aa to tne value of the Institute snd delighted with their reception while in Chapi-I Hill. And, on leaving, each promised to return next year and bring two or three friends along. 'i he work of the Institute might be summed up as follows: it brought together from all parts oi the State lit men experienced in road work and cauaed them to loos at the road problem from s State and not a local viewpoint. By ita hearty endorsement of and co-op eration With the State Highway Commission, it brought the work oi that commlsalon belore the pubhc und by stimulating Interest in the use snd need of the road engineer, it encouraged every county in «. C. to mske use of the opportunity of getting, free of chsrge, advice and aaaiatsnce from the Commia sion in regard to their road work. The Institute also called atten tion to the importance of maintain ing such good roads as are already built. And finally, it called atten tion to the importance of a careful selection and the use of the proper road machinery.

A traveling salesman for a wholsale grocery firm, recently back from a trip through the rough lands of eastern Pennsylvania, tells this possibly true tale, says the New Yorlt Sun: "One day on my last trip I had a six-mile ride to make to the county seat, and the small village in which I was had only one horse that I could hire and no other form of conveyance. I may say that a friend had landed me in the town that morning from his car and I had sold goods enough to pay the expenses of the trip. "Well, I got away on the sor riest specimen of a horse I ever straddled and I was to send him back,by the mail carrier, though Hot at * parcel post package. It took me two hours to cover the distauce—l was sorry enough I hadn't walked—and as I passed the county jail on my old bag of bones a face grinned at me from between the bars of a small square window. 1 was too sore to smile, but I nodded to the grin, prisoner called to me: " 'Say, mister,' he said, 'how'd you like to trade that critter for 30 days in jail ?' "Just then I would have been glad enough to have traded, but the let me, aud I rode on." Free Vacation Tours.
