State Highway In Alamance Found in
Bad Fix.
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highway had withdrawn an appro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

All went merry as a marriage
bell when the veil was removed at
Oaslpee School on last Saturday
night as a stage full of fiddlers
and banjo pickers pealed forth
"Mississippi Sawyer," In concert
that made eveiy heart glad. and
every foot pat as it bad never pat
ted before. It was "Ye old time
Fiddlers' Convention" staged.
The night was fair, pure was the
air, and all were there. As a
"Little More Cider," "Sindy,"
"Granny Will Your Dog Bite?"
"Sugar In The Gourd," and other
selections that belong in their
claM ware sent forth from the vi
brating strings on their mission of
melody all cares slipped away as
silently as i he the Arabs with their
tents by night. The music held
sway, neighbor communed with
neighbor, and all the world seemed
akin for nearly 2 hours. It was
then announced that Mr. Frank
Ilenigar had won Ist prize as tid

dan who oouducted the work read
concise but complete report of the
work. His complete report will
be printed elsewhere in our Coun

the county should read this re
port. We should not only read
but get busy to put into practice
hia vital instructiou. The Alta
mahaw school won first place as a
healtbday maker and the Burling

Chana Browning of the Graham
school won first prize in the Health
Composition contest and Mias
Vera Moßane of the Spring school

Third Road Institute
/ Meets at University.
Cor. of The Gleaner.
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.

An Even Trade Proposed.
A traveling salesman for a

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

straddled and I was to send him

took me two hours to cover the

window. 1 was too sore to smile,
but I nodded to the grin,

you like to trade that critter for
