PLAYING THE GAME.
Senators lieed and Pepper, of Penn
sylvania, are. unwilling at this time to
make any predictions about what they
Will do when the time comes to choose
another candidate for the Republican
Presidential nomination. .The two Sen
ators conferred with President Coolidge
several days ago and after the conference
they were approached by newspaper men
who wanted to know just who the two
Senators were going to support.
In answer to the newspaper, men the
Senators issued a joint statement, in
which they asserted they were uncertain
now. The question, they contend, is a
very grave and important one, and for
that reason they werde unwilling to make
definite statements.
• But it seems that the Senators did not
tell how they felt eveu at this
time. They were asked whether they
would support President Coolidge yr Gov
ernor Pinchot. They were not asked
about Hiram Johnson. And before they
held the conference with the President
it was intimated that they were leaning
toward the Californian.
Governor Pinchot is playing polities
now for all he's worth. He took a hand
in the coal strike and when a settlement
was reached he took all the honor and
glory for affecting the compromise. He
would naturally expect the Senators from
his State to support him. The Senators
know that, of course, and they also know
that it would be unwise to support Hi
ram Johnson now. and equally unwise
to come out and openly oppose the Presi
dent.
So they are saying nothing. They are
playing politics in the strictest sense.
HILL NOT APPEAL TO NEGROES.
The action of the Johnstown, Pa.,
Mayor in ordering certain negroes to
leave that city, is not expected to make
that city popular with negroes. In his
order directing all negroes Who had not
been in the city seven years to leave, the
Mayor stated that the city had too many
negroes; that the race question wus a se
rious one; and that no new negroes
would be allowed to enter.
Such a situation is not surprising to
people of the South who understand the
negro. Southern people knew all along
that the exodus of negroes to the North
would briug serious results, for the ne
gro does not understand northern peo
ple. and he is not understood there.
In a city in the West several days ago
hundreds of negroes left after one of
their race hud received a warning to
move on. The warning advised the ne
groes that they were not- wanted, that
the city in which they had stopped had
no use or need for them, and that every
one would be better off after some of
the negroes had left. The negroes took
the warning, and hundreds left.
The Johnstown case has aroused great
public interest. The National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple took a hand in the matter and ap
pealed to Governor Pinchot, who asked
the Mayor for an explanation. The May
or, however, stuck to his guns and re
iterated his warning after receiving the
communication from Governor Pinchot.
Governor Pinchot is “politicing” now,
so </f courwj, ,lje was oijly too glad to act.
He a T'hsnce to-get in fn/vor with
many negroes; in his State, and as tlfe
negro vote in Pennsylvania is an import
ant one, he was quick to Beiae this oppor
tunity to please the colored people.

f HOW “SEA OF SAND"
;| WAS CONQUERED FOR ROAD
. Engineers Describe Way in Which Road
in Eastern Part of State Waa Bailt.
(By the Associated Frees.)
I Raleigh. N. C., Sept. 11).—Writing in
1 this month's issue of the North Caro
lina Highway Bulletin, official publica
tion of the State Highway Commission,
A. I'. Cornell, Jr., and G. JI. Cooper, res,
ident engineers employed by the commis
sion, in an article appearing under the
heading. "Conquering a Sea of Sand."
tell of the progress of the construction
of state highway route No. 30. which
runs from Wilmington in a northeasterly
direction towards Virginia’s southern
border line.
"Beginning at Wilmington aud run
ning in a northeasterly direction through
the towns of Jacksonville, New Bern,
Washington. Willimnston and Gatesville
to the Virginia line.'' reads the article,
that portion of the state highway system
known as Route 30 presents many inter
esting features of highway construction,
of which the first 50 miles, known as
the Wilmington and Jacksonville high
way. will' be dealt with in this article.
“Pender and Onslow counties travers
ed by this highway, are situated in the
extreme southeastern part of the state
bordering on the Atlantic Ocean and by
reason of this location are very sandy
and iioorly drained. This territory is
sparsely settled owing to the difficulties
of transportation which the construction
of this road will relieve in a large part.
This section of the state was settled at
an early date by people from the New
Bern section on the north and from the
Cape Fear plantations on the south, who
were probably attracted by the wonder
ful resources of the territory in the
way of fish, oyster's and game and also
the great forests of virgin timber which
at that date covered the whole coastal
plain.
“The road practically parallcds the
coast line at a distance of three to five
miles or just far enough back to avoid
the heads of numerous creeks and bays
that jut out from the sounds along the
coast. These bays and creeks are filled
with fish and oysters, and in the winter
are the feeding grounds of thousands of
wild duck and geese. These together
with numerous deer that roam the back
woods make this section a veritable
"Sportsman's Paradise." which the com
pletion of this road will open up to the j
hunters and fishermen of this and other l
states. In this connection it would be
a good idea for state and county authori
ties to take steps to see that this game
is not slaughtered as ruthlessly as the
timber resources have been. The way
this timber has been cut is a btol on our
whole state. For mile after mile the
road runs through cut-over land that
judging from the stumps was a wonder
ful growth of long leaf pine and had it,
been properly cut on a sane and conser
vative basis would have still been a
great source of wealth to the state. It
is not too late yet' to adopt a reforesta
tion plan ami with the almost subtropical
climate which the proximity to the Gulf
stream affords it would be only a few
years before the timber would be again
a source of wealth to these counties. This
Section now lies dormant waiting for the
stimulus which a modern highway un
doubtedly give toward development.
“When the present highway commission
took over the so-called Wilmington and
Jacksonville highway in the spring of
ID2I. it probably presented one of the
longest continuous stretches of unimprov
ed road in the new state system. For 12
miles out of Wilmington, to Scott's Hill,
the road was built of surface treated
macadam. From Scott's Hill to Jack
sonville there was no semblance of a
road, the 'highway' being merely a sandy
trail, impassable a major portion of the
time.
“Construction was started in Novem
ber, 11)21. The first project was 13.36
miles in length and known as No. 373.
The contract covered grading, structures
and artificial sand-clay surfacing. Ow
ing to the scarcity of clay, however, this
surfacing was abandoned on February
15, 11)22. Tlie clay surfacing would have
, proven far too costly for the result ob
, tained for clay was of sin inferior qual
ity aud had to be hauled excessive dis
tances.

the balance of the road to Jacksonville.
This was let in two projects. No. 361-A
and 364-B, successively.
"Owing to the extremely sandy soil the
graded toad would have proved but lit
tle better than the original trail. In the
light of this, investigations were started
immediately to select a type of surfac
ing that could be strictly nnd cheaply
built. A type of pavement known as
sand asphalt was suggested. Tests were
made of several sand deposits adjacent
to' the-' highway. The result of these
tests were encouraging aud in the early
spring of 1922 a local ion was adopted
aud a portable asphalt plant was order
ed. A project 10 miles long, beginning
at Scott's Hill was to be ("obstructed
and as this project was to be considered
an experiment, no bids were invited, an
'organization being perfected by the
Highway Commission.
"The plant arrived the latter part of
March aud the ■first asphalt was laid in
May. The work proved satisfactory from
the beginning, and it was decided to
continue this type of construction to
Jacksonville and in order to expedite the
work another plant was ordered about
the same time * * Roth plants are now
turning out asphalt and It is hoped that
the road will be ebinpletcd by the fall of
11)24. Owing to the lig|t traffic expect
ed from a country so thjMy populated, a
pavement 10 feet wide is being construct
ed. Should future traffic justify a i>ave
ment of greater width the present one
can be easily widened. ! This type of
pavement has now passed the experiment
al stage. Its advantages lie in its cheap
ness and the utilization of loea! sand.
The cost is considerably lower than the
average contract price for asphalt sur
facing, the price being 1.60 per square
yard for the finished pavement.
"The pavement is merely wlmt its
name implies, being a mixture of sand
aud asphalt, mixed so as to obtain a
maximumdensity, * * The same stand
ards for engineering and inspection work
arc expected in this work as on our other
state work. A cost record is being rigid
ly kept, which it is hoped, will prove of
inestimable value to future work of this
class."

A
The rapid recovery of Gus Bar

N. Y., has again called attention to
the remarkable curative effects of
Neutrone Prescription “99.”
Here is the story:
“For years I have been all crip
pled up with rheumatism in my
arms and legs. My feet would
swell so that I could not even get
my shoes on. My knees became so
stiff that I could hardly bend them.
Every step I took was agony. I
could barely hobble around.
“No one knows what I suffered
until I tried Neutrone Prescription
“99.” After the first week I felt
better. What a reliefl It seemed
too good to be true. All my aches
and pains have gone; no more swell
ings, and my joints are all limbered
up again.
“I feel myself a lucky man to be
so well again after all these years.
I can say that Neutrone Proscrip
tion “99” will prove a blessing to
anyone suffering from this dreaded
disease. Every rheumatic should
take it, when relief is so sure.”

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
r. S. COTTON STANDARDS
ACCEPTED BY’ El ROPE
Cotton Associations Abroad Sign Agree
ment With Agriculture 1 Department.
Washington, Sept. 18. —Successful
completion of the negotiations for uni
versal standards for American cotton
was announced today by Secretary Wal
lace, with the signing of agreements
with six foreign cotton associations.
The agreements were brought from
Europe last week by Lloyd S. Tenny,
assistant chief 'of the bureap of agri
cultural economics, who made a trip to
Europe to obtain the signatures of the
associations, which included those at
Liverpool, Manchester, Havre, Bremen,
Barcelona, and Amsterdam.
The agreements with the Manchester
Spinners Association, the Milan Cotton
Axsoeiationd the Ghent Cotton Associa
tion will bo approved later, it was said.
Final approval of these contracts
marks the successful completion of nego
tiations begun several mouths ago when
the application- of the cotton standards
act to foreign trade in cotton was first
taken up by the United States depart
ment of agriculture with members of the
American cotton trade aud representa
tives of the leading European cotton as
sociations. After several c onfereneex.
the agreement to adopt American stand
ards as universal standards, with a few
minor changes, was reached. Mr. Ten
ny went to Etirope in July to complete
the detailed arrangements and secure
the signatures of the ' European cotton
associations.
With reference to the successful ter
mination of this important international
trade arrangement. Secretary Wallace
stated that “Dr. H. (\ Taylor, chief of
the bureau of agricultural economics, Mr.
Tenny and their associates have handled
this matter in a \\ay altogether com
mendable."
"It was a delicate situation requiring
diplomacy of a high order,” Mr. Wallace
said, “and it might have developed into
a very unhappy state of affairs. The
matter has been concluded in away that
seems to be most satisfactory both to
our own cotton people and to our for
eign customers. The standing of Atner
yan cotton grades has been firmly estab
lished and our business regulations over
seas have been much strengthened. I
am greatly pleased over the whole mat
ter.”
