O, August 1L Tbe delegates to the second annual convention of the North Carolina As sociation of County Commissioners in session here sinee yesterday morning mis morning enjoyed an automobile ride over the famous highwsys of Mecklenburg county. . The objective point of the trip was the handsome county home, whicb was inspected by the visitors. The ride gave the dele gates a fine opportunity for inspect ing tbe roads of the county too. The afternoon session today will be taken up -with a discussion by the vice pres idents and members of the executive committee, each speaking five minutes of the best method of conducting county affairs, and with the election of officers, after which adjournment will be taken. ' The session yesterday was a moat profitable one. Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, State Geologist, and one of the leading good roads exponents and ex perts in the country, addressed the commissioners on the subject of good roads, discussing the matter from the economical and constructive stand points. His address was (followed by the scheduled discussion on county road work led by Chairman W. M. Long, of Mecklenburg county. This discussion, following Dr. Pratt's speech and Mr. Long's introductory remarks, was exceedingly practical and no commissioner present there there but received information and knowledge that will increase his worth to his county. One of the most timely and interest ing discussions was on "Salaries for County Officials as Against Fees." This discussion was led by Mr. J. A. Davidson, of Guilford county, and re sulted in the enlightenment of those present on the fee system, which seems to be gaining rapidly in favor in many counties. Mr. Fred Patterson will return to morrow from Rest-A-Bit-Fann near Tarboro, where be bas been the guest of a" house party given by Miss Adelaide .Barrow. CART MS J V r Mom We know whereof we speak.
