C, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1921 Price, Five Casta tk CoT No. 49 STATEMENT IS MADE ABOUT JURNPIKE Lenoir Folks Who Were in the Meeting Sign Letter; The Chances Look Good To the Editor of the Lenoir News Topic : We read your report and comments published in last week's issue of the News-Topic of the conference held at Blowing Rock on Monday, Jane 20, between the State highway commit tee and representatives of the Lenoir and Blowing Rock Turnpike Company in reference to the State taking over the Lenoir and Blowing Rock turn pike road. A number of your state ments were so erroneous and mis leading, and as our people are so vi tally interested in this proposition, we deem it important that they be correctly informed as to what has been done, as well as what we hope to be able to do. We, therefore, re spectfully request that you publish in this week's issue of your paper the following statement. First, we would say that repre sentatives of the Turnpike Company appeared before the State highway commijsion in Raleigh and conferred with them as to taking over the turn pike, and requested that the commis sion inspect the road with a view to taking it over, and making it a State highway instead of a toll road as it now is. In this conference with the State highway commission a proposition was made to them to the effect that if they would make a personal in spection of the condition, importance, value, etc., of the road that the Turn pike Company would be willing for them to appraise the value of the road, take it over, and pay to the stockholders such price as they deem ed fair to the State, and fair to said stockholders. In response to this suggestion or request six members of the highway commission and the State, highway engineer came to Lenoir, went over and inspected the road as above out lined and made their report to the representatives of the Turnpike Com pany at the conference held at Blow ing Rock" June 20th. This report was to the effect that while they were very much impressed with the importance of the road as a Jstate highway, and were a unit in the opinion that the State would take it over at a fair value, they, how ever, declined to fix the value as we had requested them to do, and ad vised that the Turnpike Company submit a proposition of sale to them. As the representatives of the turn pike had not been instructed by the stockholders to make such a propo sition it was suggested that a meet ing of the stockholders be called to authorize and submit a proposition to the State highway commission for consideration and disposition at its next regular meeting, which will be held in Raleigh July 6. A special meeting of the stock holders or the said Turnpike Com pany was immediately called, and the same is to be held in Lenoir on July 1, 1921, forjthe purpose of carrying out this suggestion. The State committee told us they saw no reason why the State and the Turnpike Company should not agree upon a proposition for the State to take over the road, and wuld recom mend that this be done, and we like wise cannot see any reason why the transaction should not be consum mated at the Raleigh meeting July 6, This, we think, is a concise and ac curate statement of the handling of this turnpike proposition up to this tame.

The chimney was first struck, the brick being broken to pieces and scattered all around the house. The lightning then went down the chimney and I scattered into every room in the house, tearing up floors and ceiling, and in one room split the bed post up to the railing. In the kitchen a table was moved a foot or more from the wall against which it was accustomed to stand. A screen in the back door was torn all to pieces, as well as the facing on the door. The lightning then struck the. ground, leaving small furrows. Mr. McMillan was sitting in the room by the fireplace and was slightly shocked. Mrs. McMillan, on the back porch, was shocked, and all the children in the house were slight ly shocked. One of their daughters. Fannie, had started down the steps from the rear porch after one of the smaller children when the lightning struck her, knocking her to the ground. She was almost paralyzed and was unable to move, except that she could talk. Two little boys stand ing by a bank in the front of the house were knocked into a ditch. However, only the. little girl was bad ly shocked, and she is getting along nicely now. Two other houses in the same neighborhood were affected by the same bol tf lightning. One lady in her basement was slightly shocked, and in another house Mr. Henry Beard and his daughter were shocked. CENSUS BUREAU MAKING AN IMPORTANT SURVEY The census bureau is now in the midst of an investigation to ascertain the amount of the encumbrances on homes. This inquiry is made in com pliance with the requirements of the act of Congress approved March 3, 1919. It is desired to show the total number of homes in each city that are rented, the number that are own ed free of mortgage, the number that are subject to mortgage indebtedness and the amount of such indebtedness. Schedules of inquiry calling for this information have been sent to all of the persons reported in Lenoir as owning homes subject to mortgage, but unfortunately a large number of the citizens have not replied to the official request, says a statement from the bureau. Two requests have already been sent to Lenoir ciitzens and a third request will be mailed out shortly. The information gathered by the bureau is strictly confidential and will not be used in any way by any Federal or State tax commission or assessors. figures gatnerea are merely for statistical purposes, and those who return the blanks may rest assured that It is with the utmost con fidence the information is to be used RADCLIFF CHAUTAUQUA AT GRANITE FALLS The Radcliff Chautauqua will be gin its three-day program at Granite Falls today and continue through Saturday. There will be afternoon and night performances. The enter- taniments will consist of lectures, concerts and variety programs. The afternoon programs will be "Build' ing a yommunity, and the evening programs "American Ideals," social, political and industrial. Every one is assured of high class entertain ments who attends these programs. Some tickets have been sold in Lenoir and there will probably be a fairly good attendance from here. CROWDS FLOCK TO HEAR BRADSHAW Conducting Wonderful Meet ing at Baptist Church; Is Winning Many to Christ The ere at meetine at the Baptist church, where Kev. W. K. Bradshaw has been preaching to crowds that tax the seating capacity of the church every service, will come to a close Thursday evening of this week. We doubt af the people of Lenoir have ever heard preaching that presented the gospel message with more force- fulness or more tender appeal than the sermons 'by Mr. Bradshaw. Nine teen have joined the church at this writing. Eleven of them have asked baptism, and there should be as many more during the two remaining days. Our church has been wonderfully strengthened. About 200 people have responded to the invitations of the consecration services. Last Snndav there was a Great at tendance at Sunday school. It should be better next Sunday. At the morn ing hour there will be preaching by the pastor, and the communion ser vice will close the hour of worship. ' . The Baptist Young People's Union will have a social program next Tues day evening at 8 o'clock, followed by refreshments! The union not only invites its members, to this program, but every 'young person of the church's constituency. No individual invitations will be sent LITTLE CHILD DEAD Saruh Ellen, the- 8-monthJold daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G.

GOFORTH IS HERE FROM GUATEMALA American Consul En Route to svr vt . m r . 1 His New Post is Visiting Kelatives Here Mr. Herndon W. Goforth, Ameri can consul to Brazil, will leave here Monday for Washington and New York to make arrangements for pass ports and reservations to sail on July 13 to Santos, Brazil. Mr. bolorth is accompanied by Mrs. Goforth and three little daughters. They arrived here from Guatemala City, Guate mala, by way of New Orleans, last Friday, and are spending this week with Mr. Goforth's parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Goforth. Mr. Goforth has been at the head of the American consulate in Guatemala City for more than a year. He was there during the recent revolution which over threw the president and estbalished a new government. In connection with his leaving Gua temala City the. following account, which is a close translation, appeared in the Diario de Centro-American, El Dia Social, the leading newspaper of Guatemala City, as well as Central America, under date of June 16: "To Brazil: On tomorrows train Mr. Herndon Goforth, our distin guished friend who has been honored by the government of his country the United States of America with the position of head of the American consulate in the city of Santos, Brazil, will depart for South America. 'Mr. Goforth remained among us for more than a year and a half, hav ing been at the head of the consulate in this city for about a year. During this time Mr. Goforth made himself extremely well liked in social circles as well as in governmental spheres, dentifying himself as a good friend of Guatemala. His personality and experience in his professional career he will take to a post of greater im portance whi-n he leaves tomorrow morning in orJer to take passage at Puerto Barrios on the steamer 'Sara macca' with destination New Orleans, continuing his journey from that city to Brazil by way of Washnigton and New York. "We very attentively salute Mr. Goforth, desiring for him a very pleasant voyage, and take pleasure m complying with his request that we say farewell for him to his many friends, all of whom he has not been able to see personally before leav ing." CONTRACTS TO BE LET FOR 482 MILES OF ROADS Immediate construction on 48.' miles ot roads, m Norxn Carolina, costing over $7,000,000, has been or dered by the State highway comimis sion, and much of the road will be completed and put into service be fore the end of the summer, says the Raleigh News 'and Observer. Every district in the State, and almost ev ery county in the State, is included in the list of projects for immediate construction. Altogether the commission has ap proved the building more than $18, 000,000 worth of roads, with a total of more than 1,000 miles, since re organization was effected following the enactment of new road legislation by the last general assembly. Limi tations of material supply and con struction forces make it necessary :o give some roads preference. As near as possible construction will proceed simultaneously in each of the nine districts, with an equal ized distribution of State money. Many of the counties of the State have come in under the Guilfor.l Forsyth resolution and in some in stances this fact gives one district a larger immediate mileage than oth ers. Particularly is this so of the sixth district, which will complete the Charlotte-Statesville road, hard-surfaced for 43 miles, at a cost of ap proximately $1,290,000. (Under the Guilford-Forsyth reso lution counties desiring immediate work on roads may build them un ier the direct supervision of the State, the contracts being let by the State, and the counties paying. Later the State will reimburse the county at its own convenience, when bonds lire sold or other funds are available Many of the counties have come in under that arrangement, which makes possible the building of manv roads. Construction has been distributi'd, in so far as possible, to bring the whole Ktate within communication Many projects, particularly in the western districts, were let several weeks ago, after the second session of the commission In Raleigh, and are not included in the list of roads laid out for immediate building. Work on many of them is already under way. Wide difference in cast as between east and west districts have develop ed on account of grading and avail ability of material. In the east an excellent gravel road is being built at an approximate cost oi so.uuu to 000 per mile, while in the west this same type of road costs a minimum of $10,000. In the east the cost of a mile of hard-surfaced road is ap proximately the same as the cost of the same road in the west, despite the hevay grading in the latter, because oi tne I act itnat rock and other ma terial is available on the spot, or very near. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Dobbins of Fin ley stopped over with Mr, R. . Cur tis en route to their home from a Hickory hospital. ' TO HOLD BIG JULY 4 AT MORGANTON Caldwell, Catawba and Mc- r is. if l . I Dowell to Join Hands with Burke Co. This Year The Burke county post of the American Legion is directing plans for a celebration in Morganton on July 4th that gives promise of eclips ing any former celebration of the Fourth ever attempted in this section of the State.

BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL MEET JULY It and 12 The board of education will meet for business the second Monday and Tuesday in July, the 11th and 12th. ' OWNERS OF THRESHING MA- CHINES MUST HAVE LICENSE I owners oi tnresning anacnines or . persons operating machines in Cald well county must secure license be fore they begin operations this year. The license may be secured from Register of Deeds John M. Crisp and there is no charge for it. In the same way that the opera tor has to have a license it is also necessary for each farmer to see that the party threshing his grain has a li cense. Each thresher must keep and report the bushels threshed and the acres from which the grain was har vested. All thresher operators should at once get their licenses, when a note book for keeping the records re quired, as well as the report sheets, will be given them. These books are to be retained permanently by the operators for personal records. But at the close of the threshing season, or not later than Sept 15, a complete report up to that date must be. made to the register of deeds. The thresh er's reports are not to be sent to Ral eigh, but to the register of deeds of each county where the threshing is done. A word to the wise is: Operate with a iicense and be sure the. operator is licensed. Failure for a thresher to report means $25 fine, although the license costs nothing is free. The records made will be a business mem aranda for reference in later years and for making collections from farmers. The information is used as a check on how much grain we produce and where it is made. It is a good busi ness and educational provision. HAVE YOU TAKEN TYPHOID TREATMENT? There were 128 cases of typhoid fever reported to the North Carolina State board of health for the month of May from 57 counties in the State. Rockingham is charged up with the argest number, 7, and is followed closely by Wayne, Lenoir and John ston with 6 each. Durham led the cities with 6, Winston-Salem had three, Wilmington 2 and Charlotte and Raleigh, 1 each. A study shows that typhoid has not been epidemic anywhere, as there is an average of only two cases from counties where the disease exists. However, the board of health points out to the people that many cases may result form these few through contact with them, and through con tamination ot food, water and; tmlk by flies or human carriers. For this reason, if it has been over two years since you took the treatment prevent ing typhoid, do the wise thing and re peat it now. During the coming months free protection aeainst tv- phoid will be ordered in half the counties of the State, of which Cald-J well is one. OXFORD SINGING CLASS AT THE METHODIST CHURCH The singing class from the Oxford Orphanage will give a concert in the First Methodist church tomorrow (Friday) evening at 8:15 o'clock.

WANT MERCHANTS TO GIVE A HALF DAY OFF Merchants Are Signing Up; Opposition About Broken; Announcement Soon The Woman's Betterment Associa tion of Lenoir and the Ministerial Association memorialized the mer chants of Lenoir, asking them to fall in line with other cities and observe a half holiday during the summer imonths. A meeting of the merchants was called, and Secretary Joy was direct ed to draw up a petition and circulate the same among the merchants to find out whether or not the movement would receive undivided support. Acting under these directions the fol lowing petition was circulated for sig natures: "We, the undersigned merchants of the city of Lenoir, N. C, do Here by agree to close, our stores or places of business every Thursday afternoon during the months of July and Au gust of this year at 1 o'clock, to re main closed, front and rear doors, until regular opening hours Friday mornings of the two months afore mentioned. We assume this obliga tion with the understanding that it shall not be binding upon us unless all the merchants in town sign this oetition. "It is also further agreed that store shall remain open Thursday af ternoons, the said drug stores to agree among themselves as to rota tion. "It is also further gareed that wholesale stores rniay substitute some week dav other than Thursday for their half holiday if in their judgment such change would be advantageous to their trade." i This petition has been signed by all with the exception of one or two mer chants who are out of town. We ex pect to be able to publish a complete list of all ' the merchants in next week's paper. . HlUETiW UAC CfiD lUEIllLrill IliijrUll YONAHLOSSEE ROAD Hugh McRae Discusses Thro' Highway Routes at Meet- . ing Monday Morning Coupling the Yonahlossee with the Lenoir and Blowing Rock turnpike as a connecting link with the great in terstate highway leading from Char lotte to Lincolnton, Hickory, Lenoir, Blowing Rock, Linville, Newland and connecting with the national highway leading through Johnson City, was discussed at a meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce here Monday morning. It was a joint discussion of the proposition by Messrs. Hugh Mc Rae of the Linville Improvement Company and Thomas H. Coffey of Blowing Rock. It is only through the State acceptance of the YonahJoseee turnpike and the Lenoir and Blowing Rock turnpike as connecting links of the system that it is possible for Le noir to be on any through' highway. If the Yonahlossee road is not accept ed, and a route from Elk Park or from Newland to Boone, is adopted instead, it will give Boone two high ways, one leading from Bristol and Winston-balem, and known as the Boone Trail highway, and another highway leading from Johnson City by way of Elk Park to Boone and connecting with the Boone Trail high way. This will cause Lenoir to be left off of any through highway and make, the road passing through Le noir nothing more than a local or county seat road. With the connec tion between Johnson City and Boone by way of Elk Park all eastern Caro lina travel and all the travel from the southern part of the State be yond Charlotte will come, up over the Boone Trail highway to Blowing Rock through Winston-Salem. At present this travel passes through Le noir, and it is of great value to the town. The key to the situation, according to facts brought out at this meeting, lies in the acceptance of the route between Newland and Boone. The Yonahlossee between Blowing Rock, Linville and thence to Newland will give the. shortest possible route when the county seats of Lenoir, Boone and Newland are considered collect ively. It is claimed that this route will also be shorter than the Banner Elk rout If ;the- Banner. Klk route it. to be on a proper grade." It is stN mated that the Banner Elk route will make a road twelve miles longer than the Yonahlossee, and this will make a distance, of about 25 miles longer be tween Lenoir and Newland. Mr. McRae said the Banner Elk road or the compromise route through Linville Gap would serve local pur poses and should be a local road, whereas the Yonahlossee turnpike would serve as a connecting link in the great highway. To accept the Yonahlossee as a part of this highway it would place Linville, Blowing Rock and Lenoir on a through route of travel. The road between Blowing Rock and Boone is a local county seat proposition altogether and as such has been taken over by the State. In discussing the argument that has been used against the Yonahlossee road as a road just for tourist travel Mr. McRae said that the tuorist trav el and the tourist of western North Carolina would make this sec tion the richest in the country. The farmers of western North Carolina will not have to haul their potatoes, cabbage and other produce to market if roads are provided to bring the people from the eastern and southern part of the State and other southern cities to this mountain section. It will bring thousands of dollars here in new homes. The Yonahlossee road brought Moses Cone to Blowing Rock, Mr. McKae said. Mr. McRae said that Mr. Cone, with Mrs. Cone, passed over the. Yonahlossee turnpike and wanted to buy a big estate back in the mountains. He said that he re fused to sell to them and they went to Blowing Kock and bought just at the end of the road. Last year John Wanamaker, the merchant prince of Philadelphia, passed over the Yonah lossee road and asked Mr. McRae if he would sell the entire Linville es tate. Mr. McRae refused to make him any offer at all, saying that he feels that western North Carolina is a place for the people, and it should belong to the people, not just to a few big land owners who will develop big estates and fence them in, plac ing "No Trespass" notices on all sides. He wants to see every acre of this wonderful mountain country open to the. visitor. bpeaking of the Banner Elk road as a purely local road, Mr. Thomas H. Coffey of Blowing Rock said that the Watauga county road commission had assured him that they would improve and maintain the Banner Elk road and allow the highway to be estab lished over the Yonahlossee. turnpike. Mr. Alexander brought out the point that in case the highway is established across from Boone to Banner Elk then Blowing Rock would be left on a spur ten miles, off of any route. From here Mr. McRae went to Hickory, where he (met with the Chamber of Commerce and discussed the same proposition. Monday night he went t Charlotte to take the mat ter up with Charlotte people. , ; SURPRISE BIRTHDAY DINNER A surprise birthday dinner was given for Mr. M. M. Helton at Gran ite Falls Sunday, It being Ms 65th birthday, Many relatives were pres ent' Mr. N. M. Helton and family attended from Lenoir. 1 "if
