'begun this week on the road, between Thomas viHe and the Guilford county line.. It was the intention to 'begin near Ab ibotts Creek on the road between Lex lngton and Thomasville, but owing to the fact that U was not possible to secure all the right of way the force was transferred to the section near Thomasville. v ,. in consideration oi securing , road at once Mr. W. G. Fitzgerald end Mr. J. B. Meredith have signed a bond to hold the county free from damage (or rights of way and mater ial on this road, there being only two men who lhad not already signed the petition.' , The citizens of Davidson are, for 'the most part, reasonable men. The majority of them, like Messrs. Fitzger ald and Meredith, will help the road commiSBivii aeuurw risma wi n.j " ! out .cost to the county, in order to make the bond money igo as far as (possible. The commission has adopted b very sensible policy of giving roads iftrst to those- sections that are - 1 lilt 4. AAJUIQMld " ' Jf you would htve good roads right way, be ready to give the right of way; and boost the work. ' - ROAD NEWS. - .' Messrs.' Henderson & Morrow, the contractors who have secured the work on the Salisbury -road from the Lexington township line to the ap proach to the Toll Bridge, have ship ped their equipment and will be ready o begin work on that road this week. Some of their advance forces have al ready arrived. The right-of-way on the Thomas- TlMe-Newsom road, via Hannereville. Wd, Denton and Jackson Hill, has been signed irp by every property holder along the line between Ttaom flville and Denton. There are moie than 300 names on these petitions, showing that that section of the coun ty appreciates a good thing when they see it. The signing of this rlght-of-wav has made It possible for the work to be pushed on that road as Boon- as the forces now at work complete the road from Thomasville to the Guilford county, line. . The other. parts of the county who want roads - 'built this summer, had better be getting in line, or they will be In the mud again all next, winter, while their -neighbors are traveling over good roads, The .Board of Road Commissioners nave passed the following orders "It Is the sense of this board, and it Is so "ordered) -rhtr errant wht It Iiumd. per In the Judgment of the engineer and, ;Vi ,ths committee , heretofore provided, no payment shall be made for the right-of-way of any road la the county, whether said right-of-way lr in, or partly In, an existing road, or whether the road, la construc ted in an entirely new location." , The money was received In full pay ment of the 'bonds, premium and ac crued Interest to, ami Including May .Tilth, on. Monday. At the request of the bond-buyers In New York the mon ey was bandied through the Bank of Lexington. There will be no further delay In the -work on any account therefore k behooves all per- sons interested in good roads in their ' neighborhood, to get to work and heln complete tike petitions and secure the iiiiroi-wif, as, an tnings being qual, the roads will be orders built .in the order In which the rights-of- way are secured. - t v , We understand that the engineer is investigating a new route for the , i nomaevuie road between Pilgrim ' Academy and the Kanoy place, with a Jew to getting a more direct line. The present road does make a consid erable curve between these, two nninr. and considerable distance might be vea dj rouowmg toe proposed new ' ronte. -, , We are glad to tee the evidence of progressive spirit shown by W. O Fltxgeratd and James Meredith in en tering into bond to bold the county free from damage for right-of-way on the Thomasvllle-Guilford road. They thereby secure the first road work in the county, under the bond issue. SHOP TALK.

Taylor Heads Street Committee. Work to Proceed on Street to - Erlanger. The iboard of aVdermenN held a spec ial meeting Monday night The big gest matter to engage the attention of the City Fathers was the petition of 16 citizens and property-owners along the route of the street to the Erlanger, asking that the order of the old board ifor the building of this street be res cinded. The contract for a rock and top-soil road has already been let to Mr. D. K. Cecil and these property owners objected to it. The board heard arguments by Mr. G. F. More field, for the petitioners and Messrs. G. W.Moun teas tie and H. B. Varner for the Erlan?er people. Mr. E. E. Raiper, city attorney, was present and ex pressed' the opinion that the action of the old board .- in widening Fourth street and ordering the construction of the street was legal and binding and advised against rescinding the or der, of the old board. The board or dered that work proceed at once. Messrs. R. T. Brown and J. C. Hicks. Counfy engineers, appeared before the board and gave some good advice as to street building. They said that the proposed street to the Erlanger would be satisfactory, provided that the work was done according to specifications. It was ordered that the cement side. walks In the South ward be extended from Rev. Henry Sheets' line to the intersection of 12th avenue and Sal isbury street, the property-owners io pay half the cost. " Mr. Parker Everh'art was re-elected street foreman tat a salary of 9 per week. , , Mr. George L. Hackney, town treas urer, was authorized to hire a 'book keeper for the town at a cost not to exceed $200 per year. Alderman T. J. Taylor was elected supervisor of the street work of the city at a salary of S100 p"er year. Al derman Taylor immediately got on the Job iby making a motion that the city buy a few barrels of Asphalt oil and experiment with it as a dst preven tive. The motion -carried and the oil will be purchased. . Old 11 Is a Student of Nature. I luv to go dn the woods an' study 'Natur an see what ikin be seen.

How kin a mule make so much fuss (by sue in' in his .breath? Why dont his voice go down In his stum mick an stay there instead uv being herd as much, as two miles away? 2nd. Why do dogs turn aroun' two or three times before they lay down to sleep? They ain't nothin' botherln' them but still they turn aroun' thet way. 3rd: Air bait-worms hatched out uv eggs or air tbe little ones born as uther critters air? - 4th,; Birds air made to eat lnsecks an' the lnsecks eat up the craps. Then what did the Lord make ths lnsecks fur? Wus it to feed the birds or to eat up the craps? Tbe lnsecks eat up 140,000,000 worth uv craps a yere so the guvernment reports say. The Lord must value the birds mighty high espechully when most uv them have got to be English sparrera.

I 'n Lexington Saturday DELINQUENT TOWNS. Towns and Neighborhoods That Have Neglected to Have CJean-Up Days. The State Board of Health has its eyes on a number of towns and com munities throughout the state that hare not up to the present time, held an annual clean-up week. Whether they intend to or not is not known. But It Is 'known that if clean-up weeks are to ibe productive of the greatest good, (Sat the sooner they are observ ed from now on the more good they will accomplish. Just as it is too late to lock the stable aifter the iliorse is stolen, so it becomes too late after the flies are natcned ana swarmiag to clean up as a means of flv .nrevpntinn Thta nn. i ,. - r which is, more, or less, an easy matter to prevent if begun in time, but as there are other crops to follow in rapid succession, about every ten days, no time can be lost in preventing a full harvest. The greater the delay In getting at it, the harder the fight will be. It was with a feeling of pride, no doubt, that the Governor of North Carolina, .in viewing the matter of clean-up week, deemed it unnecessary to issue a Clean-up Week proclama tion. Governors of other states have taken this means by way of suggesting to the people the importance of gaurd ing aginst disease by promoting clean ly and sanitary home conditions. But there is no doubt but that North Caro lina's Governor felt that the pride and the intelligence of Worth Carolina's citizens needed not this injunction to make them clean up their homes, neighborhoods and towns. He took mis as a matter off course. Whether or not the Governor placed too high an estimate on the people'B .pride and 1 ""'"' mb iiemyie ,ynue ana i health intelligence remains vet. tn hp. i seen' i,orae towns and communities ' llave onIy a few dayg at Srae in which to 1)rove themselves.

Law In Its relation tov the conflict between labor and capital 'was taken up in Washington Monday of last week by the Federal Industrial Commis sion. Comment and criticism directed against courts and statutes .were voic ed by Walter Clark, Chief Justice of the supreme court of North Carolina; Edwin M. Mullen, retired Chief Justice of the New York state court of ap peals; ad Gilbert E. Roe, a New York lawyer. i . Justice Clark and Mr. Roe both criticised the extensive practice of the courts In harklnjr hank- tn t.ha anrhalo common law of centuries ago, In de ciding cases arising under circum stances of which the common law knew nothing. "nmnnmlr onnilltlnna and common sense," Judge Clark de clared, "snouia govern cases where uhBI(l n m..r . -"Z"-z:- of the "abor war" and that they would lead to widespread dis- trust ana agitation a'vldkiala and labor organizations to submit issues to the courts."
