Highway Commission Ordered 482 Miles at Cost of Over Seven Millions Constructed; Over 1,000 Miles Approved—Five Mil lions for School Buildings will be Ready by Jan. 1, 1922--Coun ties May Begin Build ing Now. (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, June 14. —Governor Morrison has returned from Ashe ville, where he spent the last week, and on Thursday of this week will give a hearing to repre sentatives of the North Carolina Municipal Association who are in sisting that a special session of the legislature should be called to rectify the fatal error of the Senate journal clerk whose re missness or oversight knocked the legality out of the municipal finance act, upon which many cities were depending to finance the municipal governments tbe next two years. - / ' However, this does not mean that the extra session will be held and the chances are against it. As stated before, the Governor has not looked upon the plan as necessary. He has expressed the opinion that tbe cities could bor row money enough to pnll them through necessary expenditures— and that those which have street paving and other improvements scheduled under the act that mis carried can postpone the work till the next regalar session of the legislature 18 monthß hence. Still there is a bare chance that the Governor may be induced to change his position. But only a bare chance. At the new hotel near Morehead City, August 17 to 19th, the next meeting of the North Carolina Press Association will the held, the time and place being fixed at a meeting ol the executive com mittee held in Raleigh. Assurances were' given that ample accommodations wonld be afforded at Morehead City and the fact that fishing should be good at this season as well as the Beaufort melons led the commit tee to select this place. There is a possibility that a tour of part of the State, may be arranged to include orchards of Moore county. This matter was left to the officers to handle the sandhill country and the peach 'with the railway companies involved. Visitors who come to tbe State Fair year will miss a familiar figure when they come next October. For 44 years Gas ton Stafford has been the "keep er" of the fair-grounds and thou sands of North Carolinians from eveiy section of the State came to know him and like his homely THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. candid ways and entertaining talks. The old man died this week at his home near the fair grounds at a ripe old age. ' Conference on "Race Relation" On June 28th at the Yarboro Hotel in Raleigh a "conference" of some 25 or 30 North Carolina white men and women, will be staged "to consider ways and means of preserving and extend ing the friendly relations now existing between the races in North Carolina."; The confer ence will be held under a call is sued by Qovenor Marrison, in which he says : "It is heartening and hopeful," says the Governor in his letter of invitation "to remember the large number of intelligent and public-spirited men and womeu who are willing to give time and energy to the common interests of all the people of our State. I count you in that number. "I am calling a conference of some two dozen white citizens to meet at Raleigh in the Yar borough Hotel at 12:30 p. in., June 28th, to consider ways and means of preserving and extend ing the friendly relations now ex isting between the races of North Carolina, and of raising the stan dard of living, and increasing the efficiency and contentment of our Negro population. You are cordially invited to participate in this conference." New State Highway Engineer. Charles Hufham, highway engi neer for the State of Delaware, has accepted appointment to the same position in North Carolina, and will come to the State within the next few weeks to begin his new duties. Mr. Hufham spent several days here last week when the Commission was in session, and went over the work with the members. He telegraphed his ac ceptance to Chairman Pag". Mr. Hufham comes to North Carolina in place of Clifford Older, State Highway Engineer of Illinois, who was appointed by the Commission at its second session in April. Mr. Older accepted the position, agree ing to come to North Carolina early in the summer, and later reconsidered his decision because of the unwillingness of members of his family to leave that State. The new highway engineer is a graduate in engineering at the Boston Institute of Technology. Some years ago the Duponts de termined to build a paved high way across their State of Dela ware. Mr. Hofbam was in their employ at the time, and he was delegated to go into every State in the Union, and into beveral foreign countries to stndy rood*. GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. JUNE 16, 1921 He went, at the expense of the Duponts, and came . heme and built one of the finest pieces of road in the world. Then he was made State Highway Engineer of Delaware, and coutinued the road building provided by the General Assembly. Delaware is* said to have the finest system of roads in the country, most of which has beetf built under the direction of Mr. Hufham. Mr. Page has known him for several years, aud has high regard for his abilities as an engineer. Immediate Conitructlou Immediate construction on 482 miles of roads in North Carolina, cost ing over $7,(XX),000, has been . ordered by the State Highway Commission, and much of the road will be complete aud put in to service before the end of the summer. Every district in the State,'and almost every county in the State, is included in the list of projects approved for immedi ate coustruction. Altogether the commission has approved the building of more than 18 million dollars worth of road,'with a total of more than 1,000 miles since reorganization was effcted following an enact ment of new road legislation by the session of the General Assem bly. Limitations of material sup ply and construction forces mak es it necessary to give some roads preference. Money For School Buildings Five million dollars appropriated by the General Assembly for a building fund for schools, to be loaned at five per cent interest to any county that needs it, will be distributed on a population per centage basis, according to regu lations formulated by Dr. E. C Brooks, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Counties are at liberty to begin right away, and depend upon their share of the five million, with tho assurance that the loan will be available by January 1, 1922, Dr Brooks declares. If the State is then uuable to sell the bonds, counties themselves may make arrangements to dispose of them and utilize the proceeds for their building. If the entire amount Is not bor rowed on the pro rat i basis, the re mainder will bedistributed among the ueedy counties. Dr. Brooks i.3 of the opinion that it will all be borrowed, and more could be loaned out. Applications have been coming in profusion for sev eral weeks. Blanks are being mailed out this week to all school authorities upon which formal ap plication is to be made. Approval of the Director of School House planning is required before any loan is approved. The money is to be paid back in 20 years. Harvey in 1917 and Now. Despite his denunciation by a large section of the press aud pul pit, by War Mothers aud dough boy organizations, Ambassador Harvey has not bt-en rebuked nor recalled for his Pilgrims' Socie ty dinner speech, in which he said we entered the war only .to save our own skins. Perhaps no severer criticism has been direct ed at Mr. Harvey than is contain ed. in a telegram froiu hi in,to President Wilson on April 3, 1917, the day following the deliv ery of the President's war mes sage, in which the President said: "The challenge is to all man kind. ... Our object now, as then, is to vindicate the princi ples of peace and jastice in the life of the world as selfish and autocratic power aud .to set up gmong the really free self-gov erned peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and of ac tion as will henceforth iusure the observance of those principles . . . . The world must be made safe for democracy. .... We have no selfish ends to serve. . . We are but one of the champions of the rights of mankind, etc., etc." Mr. Harvey's telegram of con gratulation to President Wilson the next day was as follows: "A great message of patriotism, evidencing masterful leadership based upon mutual faith of the President i'jgjty" country and of the country&T its President. I was confident as one could be, but even so J was not prepared for so splendid a realization. For the nation it is glorious, for the patriot* * inspiring, for the President noble." THE FINALS AT THE UNIVEkSITY. Largest Number Graduates, About 180, in History of Institution— Addresses by Prominent Citizens—Re-Unions ot Classes. Chapel Hill, N. C., June 15. The largest number of graduates that ever received degrees from a North Carolina iustitution, up,- wards of 180 men and women with a long repord of successful work behind them, stepping down from the plattorm of Meiuo ria- Ha'l at the University of North Carolina, Wednesday morn ing, June 15, their diplomas in their hands, brought to a climax the 12Gth commencement at the University. The undiluted flavor of straight Tar Heelisin pervaded the four clays of commencement activities. From the chief executive of North Carolina, Governor Cameron Morrison, the graduates received their jealously won diplomas, and from that other towering Tar Heel, former Secretary of the Navy Josephus L>auiels, they lis tened "to the last words of admoni tion most of them will hear on the university campus. Through out the four days of commence ment, from baccalanrate sermon to the final address, North Caro lina figures, preachers, students, alumni, and State officials, stood out in the fore-front of an All- North Carolina event. The baccalaurate sermon, preached by the liev. Charles E. Maddry, secretary of Baptist State convention, ushered in the first day of commencement, Sun day morning, June 12. For Dr. Maddry the event was a home coming in itself; eighteen years ago almost to the day he stood on the sann platform and deliv ered his senior oration which won for him the highest oratorical honor in the university, the Willie P. Mangun medal. At twilight on the campus uuder the historic Davis Poplar the Rev. W. D. Moss, of the Chapel Hill Presbyterian church, preached the Y. M. C. A. sermon. The big gathering of alumni, chiefly from ten classes which had special reunions, dominated the campus an Alumni Day, June 14. John Motley Moreheid of New York presided at the annual alumni luncheon in Swain Hall. Talks were made by Governor Morrison, attending his first com mencement as governor, by Jose phus Daniels, and by Walter Mur phy of Salisbury, Charles A. Jones of Lincolnton, and Alfred M. Scales of Greensboro. President Chase addressed the business meeting of the alumni aud talks were' made by representatives of each of the reunion classes, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1801, 18%, 1901, 1900, 1911, 1910, 1920. Chapel Hill has rarely enjoyed a more delightful For four dajs the seniors, stu dents, alumni, visitors, mothers and fathers aud best girls surged backward and forward across the campus, attending fiual meetings, renewing old associations, joining in at class dinners, musical con certs, baseball games, dramatic productions, and listening to ad dresses on uearly every possible subject. And after the last diploma had been presented, the commence ment dances, attended by more than 150 visiting youug ladies, started in Swain Hall Wednesday afternoon and wdl contiuue until the final ball on Thursday night. Swan Hall was specially deco rated aud the Weideineyer Orches tra of Huntington, West Virginia, furnished the music. A statesman is an opportunist who can create the impression that he created Hie opportunity for which he waited. Germany has learned the leu son of the war which was fought to teach her that might was not right—at least, in her ease. With the advent of Spring there's an abundance of every green except the long. A fool and money are soon parted because the vamp never want* the fool. Of Interest to the Tobacco Industry. Alamance County has signed up over 35 per cent of her tobacco growers as a result of increased in terest shown around Glen Rayen, Elon, Isley and Stoney Creek com munities. We have to date in this St'ite sev en of the largest tobacco producing counties signed up with an average of over 75 per cent each. These counties are Greene, Lenoir, Edge comb, Pitt, Wayne, Johnstoo, and Robeson. Active work is under way in ten other counties. We have borrowed from Greene c unty Mr. F. W. Faircloth who is a large planter and who has signed both contracts. Also we have with us for a few days Col. Tom Ander son of that county who has joined the peanut, tobacco and cotton co operative marketing association. These men were largely responsi ble for putting Greene county across to the extent of U5 per cent. From the interest that they have aroused from the growers so far, we predict that we will have our quota of sign e snudsotne to spare. It appears now that our county will sign up over 75 per cent of her growers on sched-l ule time. Let UB join heartily in the move ment for cooperative marketing. Let us stabilize our oldeßt farming industry. Let us place Alamance in ihe forefront agriculturally. Where the proposition is under stood the farmers sign. As Mr. Deßoy Fonville said in our mass meeting last Monday, "It is eternal ly right for it is a Bound principle of economic law". W. KEEK SCOTT Co. Agent.
