WRIGHT'S STEAM PRESSING WORKS 1 phone aai OVER SOO PERSONS PRESENT AT THE SCHOOL HOUSE YESTERDAY. GOOD ADDRESSES Prof. Wright Spoke on Universal Education. E. L. N tew art Made Excellent Aildrcaa on Good Roadv. Over 300 persons attended the Community Service meeting that was held at Old Ford eehool houae yesterday afternoon. From every point of view the meeting was a grand success and a greater interest was awakened and stirred In educa tional and other measures that tend ed towards the betterment of the community. A a interesting program of songs ind recitations waa carried out by he school children and was greatly ippreclated by the large aodlence. Prof. Robert H. Wright, president )f the Eastern Carolina Teachers' Training School of Greenville, made i most highly instructive talk on "Universal Education." His remarks *ere to the point and made a decid ed Impression upon bla hearer*. E. L. Stewart, of this city, spoko. on the topic of good roads. He] tainted out that good roads were as much a part of community service as anything could be. An argument I* being advanced by opponents of *ie movement, stating 1hat.lt \n a reposition on the part of the city jlks to force it on the country peo le. This, however, is not true. The 'ountry people are the ones who use he roads in hauling., their produoe o town, in sending theipehlldren to -cbool, in attending church and In visiting frlendu and relatives, yet he people of the city pay three fourths of the expense of building improved highways. Mr. Stewart also met the argu meat that we are making a mietak in starting the movement In Wash Ingtogn township first, rather than 3 endeavoring to make a general oad proposition for the county as a /hole, by giving the experience of *itt county. Oreenvllle and Farmvllle town ?hlps voted road bonds on the sarof day. t was carried in Greenville b> a small majority, but lost in Farm vital by an overwhelming majority Greenville went ahead and built th roads and when Farmvllle saw th benefits that Greenville townshlj was getting from good roads, ah called another election as soon a possible under the law and th measure carrlod by a big majority only eight votrB tming cast agalnn it. As soon as the people in othe ownships saw what good road really meant, they went ahead and also voted bond Issues. The address was well received and there is no doubt but that It mad' a number of converts towards gooj roads work in Washington town ship. The greater part of the credit for the success of th<> meeting belong! to Prof. L. V. Lyda. superintendent of the school at Old Ford, who work ed hard In getting the meeting at that place SI.
