The township pays quite a large sum of road taxes annually but little signs of the egeces is seen by the tax payers. As the state Highway Com mission takes over practically all the roads in the township there will be no further need for the present heavy expenditure that is being made even though we are seeing ittle results.

Gull was an orpin n boy who became a chief by his deeds as a warrior. That he possessed liljjli military talents was alio'vn at the Uattle of Little Hit! Horn. Although the honors there were about equally divided between Oall anil Crnzy Horse, the credit for one vital Indian maneuver lu the battle be loiiks to the llniikpupa alone. When Keno attacked the Indian village, the Ind'unt. were thrown Into confusion. Into their midst dashed (iall mounted on Ids black war horse. "Hold hard, men!" he shouted, "Steady, we are not ready yet. W.ilt for more kuub, mpre boi>es and the day is yours."

RECIPE FOR GOOD "I.IKKER" A friend from North Alabama writes as follows:^ —This is a letter from a darky in* South Georgia, to one of my niggers at our saw mill in Shelby County, this is what he says: "Dear'J.ohn, "I got yore letter askin me if i had learnt anything about how to make liker since i been in the mts. 4 years i should smile that i have and you kin 'make munny if yoy will foller the follering, "2 bu corn meal.

"All this stuff to stay in a barl of water til it begins to pile up and ole beef hed down in barl with the above ingreedyments helps give age to the liker, no questions is eber ask if liker is clean or no. Hope you are well and still out of jail. Your true brother." - —The Demopolis Tlijios, (Villiamston, Martin County. North Carolina, Tuesday, May 30th, 1922 FINE PROGRAMS AT CHAUTAUQUA/ Those attending the Chautauquu last night were just tickled to death, so to speak, with the evening's attrac tion. The Colfeniina Concert Comp any, composed of a tenor, a violinist and pianist gave an entertainment that was more than gratifying to the large audience. The concert was fol lowed by a lecture by Dr. Or borg, of Russia, who discussed in a most attractive ami graphic way na tional and international questions. It was a great effort and thoroughly en joyed. Another great program is promised for tonight. The first number will be the Fara Groves Musical extet. Each artist is musically talented. Music to please every taste will make up their program with plenty of variety and no waits. Snap, dash, and go typify Uie character of this company. Mrs. Helen 11. l'aulsen will follow with her famous lecture entitled "There Was a Mother Goose." The Chautauqua is being generous ly patronized and thoSe attending more than delighted with the program so far. "FI LL OF ENTHUSIASM" 1 am full of cooperative enthusiasm, and why should 1 not be ? 1 pooleU my one-half of crop of tobacco my tin unt raiseel on my farm, and advised the tenant to do likewise with his half, but could not get him to do so, he said he wanted all his money win i he delivered tobacco. We delivered the crop on the stick, he selling his hall to an independent buyer, and 1 de livered my half to the receiving point at Vanceburg, Ky, After receiving my check for first payment, I had 'Jft cents more money with my participa tion following than he received for his entire half. .. Every landowner and tenant should sign up their tobucco, as it is the only way to maintain and stabilise a good proliatble pritv for the crop. WHEELER FOSTER, Vanceburg, ky., May 1, 19U2. ANOTIIEK BIG MAN SIGNS UP One of the first acts of A. W.

TAXES FOR BEING BOSSED John McSparian of the, Pennsyl vania Slate Grange is taking a whack at the school system of Pennsylvania. Ik: particularly objects to the largei amount of money on the stati educational machine and tlra tisch-sf and unnecessary supervision of the lo cal schools by the state. He declare! in elfe't, that county superintendent and local school directors have become mere clerks and messenge rboys to carry out the orders issued at the stat ecapital—and that in consequence tin: best men are losing interest in the management of school affairs. Now, lhis is what McSparran says, and hfe Is tlking about conditions in Pennsyl * ania. liut we imagine that several million other men in other states are thinking along the same lines as they audit their tax bills this summer— are thinking that they aie paying too much for unnecessary supervision— not in education alone, but in nearly all public activities.

The fact that this is the first time since he Swarthmore Chautauqua has been coming to Williamston that the guarantoTiThßVg not had to "eomc a cross" to make up the would indicate that times are better or our people are more appreciative of the high class entertainments that Chau tauqua affords. made the I rip by motor, crossing the new fery that now t perates on a daily schedule from Mackeys to Edenton. • • • • Misses Martha Slade Hassell ami Martha Cotton Crawford will arrive home tomorrow from Salem College where they have just completed the Secretarial Courte. • • • • Mr. Julius Purvis will return to Richmond tomorrow to resume his studies at Massey' Busines College. • • • * Today is Memorial pay antl the banks are observing the holiday. * • • • Messrs.

The abundant sprinkling of the little red uowers showed that Williamston peo ple appreciated the American Legion, realized the privilege they had in, help ing alleviate the condition of service men lingering in hospitals and enter ed heartily into this sensible obser vance of the memorial occasion. Every person is indebted to the sol diers and sailors who exposed their lives for their country in the memor able days of 1917-18 and none should lose an opportunity of making known a sense of their appreciation. Par ticularly is this due those who were disabled in the war and are now spec ial objects of sympathy and concern. It was eminently appropriate that on the eve of the National Memorial Day when the nation pauses to drop a tear for thise gallant men who made the greatest of all sacrifices, practi cal steps should have been taken to render more comfortable those who, while their lives were not taken, only narrowly escaped and whose sacrifices in many instances are such as will be a wearing and burdensome loah for the remainder of their lives. Can we ever repay our debt to these? 1 ARMKKS ARK SERFS OF THE MONEY LENDERS The fanners are bankrupt, "tenants at will" to the banks and investment public that lent them monef. The farming industry has been on the down grade for many year's, in Bpite of various plans, Federal and State, to put agriculture on a sound basis. These plans have either been theoret ical or so bound with red tape and bureaucratic control that they amount to nought. And now, what are tlie farmers promised? legislation to aid them to borrow more money.! The Federa and state governments have spent many millions "to uplift" agricutlure, but hteir agencies failed, because those in charge did not com prehend the fundamental needs of the farmers. —Dearborn Independent. FEDERAL AID TO HIGHWAYS IN NORTH CAROLINA As "Federal Aid in the construction of highways since 19.16, tl» govern ment has appropriated $360,000,000.00 The mileage of roads constructed in each state with this fund in conjunc tion with other funds is shown by a report of the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture dated March 31. tor North Carolina the figures are as fol lows: Miles completed, 692.2; mileage for which funds have been allotted, H47.6; total mileage, U39.8; funds a vailable for new projects, $1,800,823. Officials of the bureau point out that different conditons have required vary ing width, thickness and type of sur face so that the mileage constructed is not always an exact measure of what has been accomplished.

Chief Haxstun in spetdting of the work being done in Martin county stated to the writer that with low wa ter and lavorable weather conditions that the,work on he great Bertie coun ty bridge will be completed in a short while', and the great, grand and glor ious celebration to be held in V llliam ston upon the opening of the bridge should already begin to take form and the programme outlined. Already there is a uew road grad ed on the Bertie County side ti Wind sor, the county seat, and projects are being let for several nnles of road be tween Windsor and the Virginia State Line. ° Contracts have been let for hard surfacing of road between Tarboro and the Martin county line, and the grading of the road on to Williamston is being finished around Everett* only seven miles from here, and within a few weeks the graders will reach this vicinity.
