4- einen from the Pungo sep f'were in town Wednesday ,-fsHoppinff they having come through the re-opened turnpike road. There were fifteen or ' twenty in the party and they re--port the most of this road now in good condition, and as soon as the work is completed on a few bad places, it will be the best section of road in the county. The Roper Company who own most of the swamp land through which this road runs, have re cently Torrenized their title; are draining it, and have sold to a Western syndicate 55,000 acres of this land, with the expressed provision that at least 10,000 acres a year shall be cleared and improved, and those in charge say that early next year this work will begin and that em ployment will be given as many as 1,000 laborers if they can be secured.' At Wenona, just at the other end of this road, and which is some of the first improvement of this land, the corn crop is so great this year that those living there claim that should they wish to house it all it would be impossible to do so, even were they to utilize all dwellings and out-houses for that purpose. And in view of taking proper care of future crops a project is already started to erect grain elevators there before another crop is raised. Any one who has investigated this great development need not be an optomist to see that with in a very few years this one body of swamp land that has for so long been valueless except for the timber that once stood upon it, will become among the best and most fertile farms of this whole country, and exclu sive of town property, will be listed upon the tax books at more than the whole of Plym outh Township now is. The labor that will soon be put upon this land will turn thousands of dollars loose every month, the greater part of whicn will, or should be, spent in our county towns, and we do not feel it incumbent upon us to do more than point out to the business men of Plymouth and Roper the necessity of reaching out and securing their share of it. This can easily be done by approaching them through the mediums the mail order houses do. And you have the advan tage there, for you can come in personal contact with these peo ple, and by showing them that you appreciate their trades there is no reason why you should not get it. The National Republican Com mittee has decreed that the steel barons of Pittsburg must contribute three hundred and eighty thousand dollars to the Hughes campaign fund. This in payment for a promise that should a republican President and Congress be elected, the tariff on steel and iron products will be raised to the old robber standard. That, too, at a time when under a tariff for revenue the metal industries are flourish ing as never before. Ought not this to open the eyes of the mass es of consumes as to what is in store for them in case the repub licans return to power? It used to be true that "In vain doth the fowler spread his nets in the sight of any bird." Will the American people be less keen to detect threatening danger and less wise in escaping it? Ex. Hats off to Roper. Our peo ple need a generous supply of the same brand of spice that most of the people there have. They are now making elaborate preparations for, the "Roper Community Fair" which is to be held Nov. 9th. A number of prizes are being offered, and a prize list is now being printed which will be distributed some r people should- doff their hats whenever they meet a- Roperite on the street or highway. marsmi TOR PEACE PROSPERITY PARTY SUFFRAGE RECORDS Only Democratic Congressmen Appeal ed for Action. Congressman C. C. Dill, of Wash ington, cites the records of the com mittee hearings on suffrage in Con gress to prove that "the only Congress men who have gone before the Judi ciary Committee of Congress this year to ask that a suffrage amendment be voted upon have been Democratic members." lie adds that "no others have appeared to ask for considera tion of the measure. That is, I think, sufficient answer to any claim that the Democratic Tarty opposed Woinato Suffrage." This record need only be supple mented with the personal voting his tory of the rival Presidential candi dates to show who is the real friend of suffrage. Tresident Wilson made two trips from ashington . to Isew Jersey to register and vote for Woman Suffrage when it was submitted in his State. Candidate Hughes did not take the trouble to register or to vote the same year 1015 when the suffrage amendment was submitted in his state. "There is no means of judging the future ' except by assessing the past. Constructive action must be weighed against destructive comment and reac tion." From President Wilson's Speech of Acceptance.
