Perhaps the greatest good roads project ever undertaken in North Carolina is that embodied In the proposition to build what is to be known as the Central Highway. At a meeting of Interested par ties in Raleigh recently plans were set on foot to commence the survey of this route early In May. Numerous delf '-rates from the nineteen counties to be traversed were in attendance, and r‘ports of that meeting Indicate that ah were entirely enthusiastic over ‘he project. A practical instance of the willlngfness of these several C'/untles to carry their part of the burden was given recently when Row- an county agreed to put up |1,500 per mile for that section of the road pass ing through that county. The act au thorizing the highway, passed by the last legislature, prescribed |50 per inilo, but llowam put In $1,500 for good mrasure. This is the kind of ma terial enthusiasm which accomplishes results, where such results be in the shape of improved highw’ays or what not. It is not to be doubted that any of the nineteen counties will fail to measure up to their responsibilities and it Is therefore safe to say that the Central Highv.ay is a certainty. It comes as a sort of culmination of a movement which has gained more converts than any other during the past few years. North Carolina at least appreciates the fact that good highways are necessary to material progress; that they play an important part in the matter of education, and are withal, ap rofitable investment in dollars and cents aside from the ad vantages of convenience, etc., which they offer. If additional testimony were needed Mecklenburg county might assume the role of tutor and proclaim to the world that, view the matter as you may, good roads pay. Vln order to get things that are val uable, money must be put up, labor must be given and energy expended. Few of the good thinsa comQ free. At last we realize this truth, too, and it has come to the point where two or three Tar Heels are gathered together a good roads movement is to be found in their midst. But coming back to the Central Highway. It is a gratifying fact that when completed this will be the longest single highway, constructed tmder state auspices, to be found in the United States. Its length will be approximately 460 miles. It will ex tend from coast to mountain peak. But let Editor Varner, president of the committee, tell something about this highway. Mr. Fred A. Olds has interviewed Mr. Varner on the sub ject for the Manufacturers’ Record, and his comment is interesting: “Mr. Varner says this is by far the greatest single highway ever under taken by any state in the union, and that it will take rank with the great est anywhere in the world. It will re veal North Carolina like a r^inorama, beginning at the coast, where there are palnieitoes and sub-tropical con ditions, endin? in the high mountains; giving as wide a range of flowers, trees climates and scenery as there is between South Carolina and New Hampshire, for the rpad will go in sight of the highest mountains east of the Rockies, and will traverse the North Carolina "Land of the Sky.” In its length this highway will pass through about cities and towns, and will show every phase of North Carolina life, agricultural and indus trial. "When President Varner was asked what the road would cost per mile he said that in the eastern section the cost would be only from $200 to $G00. and that sand-clay would be used, this giving one of the best roads possible, this type having been found of very great value in South Carolina. Alabama, Goovrin, Florida and other states, and to 1one wnic'li should bo adopteii wbenevei {;oi: !ble. In the central and Piedmont sections the cost will be from $1,000 to $’,000 per mile and the type will be macad.im or giavel, according to tlie localitv. in the iriountain region n;a(\Ti!ani will be u.'cd. and the cost will I)t‘ fro'.ii ('0*^ to $5,000. "It was at a moo ing in the Ral- I igh ciiaPwber of commerce that the 1 Ians were originally made for this ^reat highway, the originator being State Geologist Pratt. Governor Kitch- in having given the scheme enthusi astic endorsement in a message U> the legislature. Dr. Pratt will have United States and state experts to make the preliminary surveys and fix the line of the road, and on the Stb of May the officials interested, w’ith the commissioners appointed by the legislature to represent the 19 conia- ties which the hikhway will traverse, v.ill begin an automobile tour over the entire route, starting at Morehead City, where there will be a big de monstration, then .going w'est’.vard and stopping, at a representativo iioint in each of the counties. Froside-it Varner savs that after the route is all laid off and stakes s?t not only anolng the present highways, which will be largely used, but alsD along cGi.ain new sections of the route, ar;.Ti\£cments will be mad=5 to get material': and road-making machin ery and implements along the line, and at ti.c proper time to desi.^aalio a v.ee’; during which people from town and country along all the dis tance will devote themselves to the c'lnstri'ction. It is expected to arouse a grrat deal of pride in the work the I art of the various counties and the towns to be traversed and Pres- dent Varner has no doubt of ‘.he complete and early success of the undertaking. The read will pas? through many important manufactur ing points, find also through some of the" best trcccldng ahd farming coun try in the state.” A hundred years from now some people will insist that Dr. Cook dis covered the North Pole just as some people insist that the declaration of independence w'as first made at Char- lott, N. C.—Greenville Piedmont. It will no doubt, as you say, re quire one hundred years for the aver age South Carolinian to drink in the all abiding significance of both of thetee great truths. This does not, however, affect in the least the pro fundity of their utter authenticity. "We would be happier if our ignor ance included much of our misfor tunes,” confesses the W^inston Senti nel. If you were as the Raleigh Times you would have an Ignorance which includeth everything and passeth all understanding. Tomorrow’s News will be of espe cial Interest. Don’t miss it. Lenoir News Notes. Special to The News. Lenoir, April 29.—A new schedule goes into effect on the Carolina & Northwestern Railroad next Sunday, the 30th. The most important change affecting Lenoir, is the night train from Hickory, arriving here at 1 a. m., as heretofore. By this change passen gers from the north and east are en abled to reacL Lenoir without having to spend the night in Hickory, as form erly, as this train will make connection with the Southern’s train No. 35, and bring both mail and passengers.. It is thought probable that the railroad company will put on their regular sum mer trains Nos, 7 and 8 a little later. After spending several weeks in this county visiting friends and relatives, Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Coffey left yeeter- day for their home in St. Paul, Minn. Cards are out anouncing the ap proaching marriage of Rev. Charles T. Squires, pastor of the First Presbyte rian church, at this place, to Miss Nona Markley Harris, of Lignum, Va. W. S. Phiter. who recently came to Lenoir from Statesville, is seriously sick at his home on North Main street. To Sign Checks With Thumb. By Associated Press. Guthrie, Okla., April 29.—The com missioner of Indian affairs has direct ed officials throughout Oklahoma that hereafter every Indian who cannot write his. name will be required to sign all checks and official papers and indorse checks and warrants covering Indian money by making an impres sion of the ball of his right thumb, such imprint to be witnessed by an employe of the Indian agency or by one of the leading men of the tribe who can write. If an Indian is not living with his tribe his thumb mark signature must be witnessed by the postmaster of the place where he resides.

Spartanburg, S. C., April 29.—"With Madame Lillian Nordlca and -Signor Antonio Scottl as the soloists, the seventeenth annual South AtlantU States music festival came to a close last night.

Both artists were given ovations, the applause after one of Scotti’s numbers, a champagne song from “Don Giov anni” continuing for ten minutes. RETIRED LIST IN LIFE SAVING SERVICE. By Associated Press. Washington, April 29.—Representa tive Harris, of Massachusetts, has in troduced a bill providing for the crea tion of a retired list in the life savlBg service of the United States, a simi lar measure having been defeated in the last congress after a spirited fight. The bill provides that superintend ents of life saving districts, keepers and members of crews shall be retired after 30 years of service, or at the age of 64, and receive 76 per cent of full pay thereafter.
