Washington, Mareh 14.—Certain
North Cai-oliniana, have fluked the
thing, it appears, with the result that
North Carolina has'lost $20,000, of
real federal good roads money. Sev
eral months since .$40,000 was set
aside for use in the State in improv-
ing certain roads i.i cooperation with
some of ihe counties, and the depart
ment heads here sought to get an
Kgreeriient as to where the money
should be spent. It was at first de-^
termined to spend $10,000 bn t^
scenic highway from Old Fort to
.\shcville, which met Governor Craig'.-?

THE GOVEKNOR'S EXPLANATION.
Governor Craig declared, when call
ed over the phone by The Daily Now?
last night, that he has dene every
thing that the postofflte departme-nt
asked him to do, and that he believes
the confusion exiss only in the d-r*
partment itself.
Six months ago, said th© governor,:
he designated thre€i roads, all of them
sections of th© Cehtrstl Hlghwa^^s on
which he desired tho fcdwral govern
ment to spead the Stat«% allottnent
of 140,600, Ka' nam^ the road

»tood, a» »a right, wmI worit it ex-^
pected to be«rin on them in the course
of a few'EsivntHs. The. Mtch occurred
in eonaaetion with tlie road from
WinstoD-Satem to Ststserille.

cd “sensible.” They were “The
young woman of high idea'.s and g-tod
moral character naturally attracts
men of Ibu same stamp- I c^innot
think of such a girl bL'coniiiig- :-.s;'o-
ciatcti with \u)jrar immoral mor..”
The other quotaion which particular
ly pleased the pastor was to the tf-
foct that the man shuuld i)« the “!>ors'
ill the home. “He should do thinpri^
he- think.s righi regardless of contrary
influence. He should be stronij ;jnd
ap^0-'5sive."
Kifty per cent >f the women from
whose letters Mr. Keni quoted, Irek!
i.hat a jiEaii shculd not t*5e ‘nto^ic.ai
ing iiquors. Over 50 per cent, stipu
lated that tobacco should not be tol
erated. Fifteen per cent, .specified
that the “ideal husband” ."ihauld not
.swear, but only 10 per cent thought
to state in exact words that a man
should not be immoral. They all in
dicated a.s much in their letters, how
ever. GamblsnK was also condem ,_d
by che fair sex.
The ladies were unanimous in re
gard to the demrable cjuaVitics the
ideal husband” should possess. The
husbar.d must be truthful, industri
ous, temperate, clean (in person an.i
languag-e), cheerful, optimistic, tidy,
steadfast, ambitious, straight-dea'Iiiig
in business, kind and sentle at home
and a lover of children. One woman
said “the pood disposit.iori of the hu=-
ijand, of course, depends a good deai
on the wife’s cooking:.”
Most of the women held that a clean
Ipast life vras necessai-y and that the
prospective bridegroom should be a
descendant from a family -of “good
blood.” No sympathy was expressed
for the “CTld oats” period. One wo
man stated that tbe hu; jap.d shoiild
be able to stand the culinary effects
[of an inexperienced cook,
j “Our euffpnie law is not ideal," the
Rev. Mr. Sern said in connection with
health, “bat we will get one in the
near future. The present law is one
sided, I do not believe in partiality.
The woman wants to know if the man
13 healthy before she marries him,
but the man al»o desires to know if
the W3man is h^thy.”
With regard to the income of the
respective hosbond, women writerc all
that t^ naan (dkonld be reeeiv-
ins an ineoict» scffieiently large to al-
•=■=■ ti* family to Um ia decent and
M>infortable ei]«nsu)tiknces. The gen
tleman suggested that on eceour.t ef
lifferent tastes the . young .people
-hould discuss the ineojne qoastion
before mazryiag.
Other thiagi mentioned in the let-
’’-ers were that the man shoold Ssave
