No Time To Turn Back
. . Will we turn back localise the load.
is heavy?
No; of course not. The people,of
Martin Coflnty will, not permit 1,050
children to l*e handicapped for life
for the want of school opportunities.
It is an admitted fact that the Wil-
I lams ton and Robersonville schools!
are entirely unable to care for the j
children knocking for admission at the*
doors of their schools They must be. i
cared for. If we have anything worth )
sacriticini; for, it is our children; and h
, thought it may be a great load and
a ht«£;y burden to cgre for and edu- j I
cate them, yet it is the one thing that i
can not be neglected.
The only obstacle now in the way | i
seems to be the raising of about S6O,- i
000 by the county, since it failed to I
procure sufficient funds from the i
State loan fund to meet the needs. i
The remaining amount, $60,000. i
Road-Building Program Not Yet Complete
Why rtoi complete the road-btfild
in« program?
A recent announcement wa.s made
-by the State- Highway Commission
that the State is so well up with its
road work that no more bonds should
be issued for some time yet.
We sa\ hats off to the State High
way Commission for what it has done
but* refuse to follow the policy of
quitting until the original system laid
out by legislative enactment is com
pleted. 'This » plan included the
building of a system of State high-
Ways connecting the various county
seats i/f the State. The wisdom of
this plan is even clearer now since
our" road program has been in opera
tion for several years than when it
was first proposed.
The word "road ; ' has but one
meaning in eastern Carolina, where
the native material is entirely unfit
to hold frequent or heavy traffic. The
definition of road in this section
therefore means a track covered with
some ty|)e of hard surface to hold
traffic vehicles. The mere cutting of
a streak and rounding up the earth
is not a road; it is only a place to
put a road.
Of the six counties touching Mar
tin, we can get to the county seats

I THE SUCCESS OF PHILLIPS FERTILISER LIES IN ITS QUALITY
All materials used inthe manufacture of our goods are active fertilizer materials. Experienced Workmanship apd a constant endeavor to manufacture only the very best fertiliser that can |

, now is to lie raised by the county or
I the project fails. The word "bonds"
seems to scare people. Yet it is the
most convenient debt a people can
owe. It has more clearness than any
other debt, because every phase, as
to amount, rate of interest, payment
of interest, and maturity of bonds, is
fixed. So the man, town, county,
State, or nation that owes a bond can
not be called and cramped for pay
ment as is the case in most other
"debts. . -
If we educate these 1,000 children,
they will be able to pay the $60,000
in bontls when due and make a bet
ter living, too, than if left without
advantages.
This is no day to turn back and]
huddle our children in fields of og- j
norance. Go forward is the com-j
mand that every phase of life de-j
mands today
of three of them, Beaufort, Pitt, and
Edgecombe, on good roads. We have
no road to Halifax except a dirt road
for which our county sjient $175,000
We have no hard surface to Bertie,
although th« county has given $150,-
000 as a donation for that purpose.
We have no' road to Washington
County except an improved dirt tfail.
Though we have spent, through do
nations to the State Highway Com
mission, the huge sum of $600,000
we are connected with ot)ly half of
our neighbors.
Is it good business to stop now?
Have we met the full needs of the
people of the State. Certainly not,
if we can give them more good valu
able investments in roads.
According to figures given out by
the State department of conservation
and development, of Raleigh, the
500,000 car owners of the State save
$99,000,000 annually, the difference
in gas and oil cost between concrete
and dirt roads. This annual saving,
; according to the above figures, is on
ly $16,000,000 less than the total
cost of all of our State-constructed
roads.
If we have spent $115,000,000 in
bond money to build North Carolina
roads and save the people $99,000,-
PUBLISHED KVKftY
TUKSDAY AND FRIDAY
000 annually, then why should our
State Highway Commission withhold
such a good proposition from us
longer?
Certainly, they may say, this $99,*
000,000 does not go into their hands
with which to build roads, but stays
in the pockets of the people. How
ever the same report says that $14.-
015,052.80 went into their hands last
year from gasoline and car taxes, and
only $9,682,591.65 was required for
upkeep, administration, interest, and
other necessary items; leaving $4,-
332,461.18 in hand.
At the present basis of income, no
person will ever have to pay a penny
on the North Carolina roads except
in gasoline and automobile taxes, so
our State need have no fear of road
expenditures so long as they are more
than paid for the drivers of cars,
all of whom want more good roads
and are anxious that the highway
commission build them at once and
let the man who rides pay the bill.
Half of the counties in the State
are still far under the original mile
age alotted in the original highway
act, especially is this true of the east
ern and western counties.
The people need the roads; they
'are entitled to them; and the State
Highway Commission should build
them now.
