Importance of Good Roads.
Below we print a clipping
from the Wilmington Messen
ger, the truth of which cannot
be more pertinent to any peo
ple than to the people of Mar
tin County. We sincerely trust
that every good citizen in this
county will read this article.and
then let us be up and doing,
let's do away with all these
nod beds and have hard roads
throughout the oounty.
"New York state is going to spend
one hundred million dollars in
building good tOads. Experts who
have made an investigation state
that the economic waste now going
on because of the condition of the
roads, which will be stopped by the
proposed new road system, amounts
to thirty-eight million dollars a year
in that state. "This is an object
lesson to the people of North Caro
lina. In some sections they realize
the great advantage of good roads
and are willing to tax themselves
to secure them, but as a rule, our
rural residents are too indifferent in
this matter. They do not seem to
understand how good roads will in
crease the value of their lands,
bring the market towns near to the
farms, reduce the wear and tear on
wagons and horses while enabling
time to be saved through ability to
haul much heavier loads.
"Good roads are of vastly more
importance to the farmers and land
owners than to the residents of the
cities and towns to which they lead
though, of course they benefit the
latter also. Another advantage in
good roads to the country residents
is the increased facility for mail ser
vice Where there are good roads
there is quick and frequent rural
free delivery service, and this is be
coming a matter of greater impor
tance to them as the rural public
schools create in the tising genera
tion a greater desire for reading and
keeping up with the daily events
the world over. Couutry
who oppose good roads do not know
what injury they are doing to them
selves and to their children"
In our last is* uo we called
attention to information that
had been given us in regard .to
firos at the graded school. The
information coming as it \l/d
from a thouroughly reliable
source we deemed it unneces
sary to make n personal inves
tigation The Huperintend 'iit
of the school took the article to
be a slam on himself and teach
ers, which was not intended,
and replied to Iho article send
ing in his letter last Mond.iy
with the request that it be pub
lished. The article and a
memorandum book in which
we had notes and data for new*
to go into this iusue were mis
placed, (and such cases are fre
quent where the editor is print
er and devil as well as report
er), the memorandum book
was found late Wednesday
afternoon all mutilatpd, but the
article was not found. That
is why it does not appear in
this issue.
We will say, however, that
o\ir article was not intend
ed as an attack upon Prof
Liles or Lis teachers, for there
is no one in the town who will
do more for the upbuilding of
the graded school than the
writer. We were merely try
ing to do our duty as a news
paper. We had our informa
tion from men whose integrity
■nd solidity of character will
not be questioned by any one
But as to how they got their
information we are not respon
sible. It is the duty of
the newspaper to speak through
its columns, not for its editor
to put himself to any inconven
ience to call the personal atten-
tion of those interested to pub
lic matters.
Its impossible for tlie editor
of a paper to get all his news
at first band. He i* compelled
to accept a great many items
of news from various sources,
and also to accept the state
ments of others at times as the
basis of his editorial utterance.
We are very much grieved
that Mr. Liles should take the
article as he did for we are
anxious to work in harmony
with the educational forces for
the advancement of our com
munity. 1
If Mr. Liles will furnish us
with a copy of his article we
will be glad to publish it. We
apologize for having misplaced
it
We do not feel, however,
that our editorial squib is of
sufficient intereit to cn 11 forth
an arraignment of us for simp
ly pointing out what was com
monly reported as a dofect in
the management of the school.
We feel sure that this state
ment will be satisfactory to
Prof. Liles and all concerned.
Heretofore the delays in get
ting out the Enterprise have
been unavoidable, but this
week its different. We inten
tionally held the forms so we
could give the official returns
from this county. While there
may be some diaerepency in
the figures showing the vote
polled by townships, the total
vote received by each candidate
is correct.
The Progressive News, pub
lished and edited by Alexander
Corey at JanrbsviUe, lias made

five-column, four pane paper

May the News live long
ind prosper.
As Others See Us
"The Williamstou ljnterpri.se re
ports a fine and substantial increase
In its circulation. This may he at
tributed in part to the voting contest
it has been running, but more to
the all round excellency of the
paper itself. May its good fortune
stay with it." —So: Publisher.
Mr. Croker is telling what Tam

stood for Dick a long time.
