Dr. Pratt u one of the leaders in the work of con servation of North Carolina' re sources, and as the building and main taining of good roads forms a very important part of this work h is de voting a large portion of his time to this department. When the highway from Chapel Hill to Asheville is com plete it will go' from Chapel Hill to Charlotte via. Gastonia,vButherford- ton, Hickory Nut Gap on through Hen derson county. The survey of the por tion of this road in Cleveland county is completed and the work is now in progress. r.-'i ;' " ;;: t ; The highway from Charlotte to Ral eigh, "with the exception of Davidson county and. Bingham township, in Orange county, is in excellent condition.- Work of . macadamizing the road in this township is now in prog ress. The people in Davidson county are alive to the "necessity of good roads, and a number of townships have voted bonds to build these but owing to- the depressed condition of tho bond market' the bonds have not been offered for sale. When asked as to the condition of the roads in this county. Dr. Pratt stated that they would compare fav orably with those found in most any other county. He stated that in conn- ties where there were already a num ber of miles of macadam road and others being constructed that in the enthusiasm of building, more good roads county officials failed to give the proper attention to the maintenance of the roads already constructed. Dr. Pratt further stated that every coun ty should have a Good Roads Asso ciation and the management of the roads should be ifree from politics and under , the supervision of a capable road engineer, r "Dr. Pratt was accompanied -by lit. amen cayiey, roaa aseiwauc, anu they - were driving jrChalmertf 30.

"The Virginian who expressed the wish in his will that his wife should marry again if it would contribute to her happiness, and that she and her second husband should fcnjoy bis es tate during her lifetime, was 'evi dently a broad minded citizen," gays tne Jstalesvule Landmark.

Meat in Competition with Cotton Statesville SentineL : ' ; ; There , are. many who contend that 100 pounds of pork can be raised at less cost than 100 pounds of cotton and brings a much beter price. Be that as it may, the amount of cash received by Mr. E. F. Gass, one of North Ire- delL's substantial farmers," for the country-cured meat he marketed here this week certainly is encouraging. He sold nine bams and ten aides to the Cash Grocery Company totaling 515 pounds, for which be received some thing like $100. Country cured meat is in demand at all times , and our farmers should bear this in mind as they note the waste of fruit, etc., con tinually occurring on the farm. - See The Times for Job Printing. r n Revised State Banking Law makes the Stockholders of this Bank liable, the same as those of a National Bankthus all de positors areOcored by our Capital,.8urplus X and Stockholders' liability of $250,000 00. .'( , .... ... - :,.',.:'J.,.

Clarence Eddy Born in Charlotte (?) Of course the linotype is responsi ble for it, and we can excuse it, for the bright and alert city editor of the Charlotte News Mrs. Addie William Caldwell, knew better, but Friday af ternoon's News stated that Clarence Eddy, the world-famed organist, was born in Charlotte. Mrs. CaldwelL be ing one or the most accomplished mu sicians of the State herself, as well as one of the best news gatherers, is too . well informed to make such a statement without some foundation, so. perhaps she has some information which has been withheld from the rest of those so fortunate as to hold a po sition as news, gatherer on a North Carolina newspaper. We -heartily con gratulate Charlotte, but wish to state that she has withheld this piece of news longer than was necessary. Another Fool Show TTp. Newton Enterprise.
