We will now focus our attention

It is with sincere regret that the

will wish for him the greatest
success. " j
Mr. McLeod has made himself a
useful citizen. By his upright life
and straightforward dealings with
his fellowmen he has made friends
of all, of whatever creed or political
clan. It is not often that a man is
so universally esteemed as is John
Allen McLeod. He is pronounced in
this community as a gentleman's

It would -indeed be a fine thing if
the State Highway Commission
could take over the entire roadways
01 Harnett county. The township:
bonds and bumps are the cause of so
much fretful agitation! And, too,
the roads in some townships are so
much better than the roads in others,
and none of the roads in the county
are so very good.
While of course the State will not
build highways all over the county;
yet the map shows that with the
Lafayette road going north to south
through the county and the Boone
trail running west to east across the
county, and with maintenance work
upon several other roadways, there
is not much left for the county to
assume upon the big thoroughfares
But theer is some other needed
road work, that the county should
undertake. Two outstanding neces
sities are: The building of a good
road direct from Dunn and Duke to
Lillington; and the construction of a
good road from the western part of
the county to the countyseat. After
the county has built these roads,
they could be put under State main
tenance. The only practical way to build
county highways is for the county to
take over its road system. Good
roads cannot be built and maintained
by the antiquated and inadequate
township system. This has been
proven time over and again, and is
being plainly shown by the present
township system in this county.
"Right now is a good time to adopt
the county system so that the balance
of the roads left out of State super
vision can be brought up to a higher
standard.
There is little left for the county
to do in the way of road building
but that little is so badly needed that
it should not longer be delayed.

GO TO THE COUNTY FAIR.
. Harnett county's fair opens at
Dunn next Tuesday. Officials of the
association state that they have
spared no pains to put on the very
best fair this year; both in the way
of exhibits and entertainment for
visitors the 1921 exposition bids for
the highest excellence in the showing
and the greatest attendance of peo
ple who wish to witness it. We
must take the directors' word for the
excellence of the exhibition, for they
are hustlers; and we will post our
judgment with them on the state
ment that the attendance will be
good.
Herbert Hoover, who speaks at
the fair at noon Saturday, the 15th,
should draw a good crowd. Farm-
ers especially should be interested in
what Mr. Hoover will have to say at
an agricultural fair, because of this
gentleman's world experience in the
handling and distribution of food
stuffs. He 'should be able to tell the
people of. Harnett county about the
outlook for foreign consumption of
cotton also, by reason of his familiar
ity with conditions in Europe their
ability to pay as well as their actual
needs now and in the immediate fu
ture. Farmers should pay special
heed to matters of this sort and in
form themselves so that they would
know whether to sell their crops as
fast as they gather them or whether
it would be best to hold awhile. As
matter of f act, - our farmers should
be better posted upon ' such things
anyway, because they are affected so
vitally, by them.
Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt, presi
dent of the State fair, will also de
liver an address. This will be inter
estmg inasmuch as Mrs, Vanderbilt
is a woman 'of affairs and is taking
active part in making the State fair
a success.
The purpose of this writing is to
-impress upon our people the impor
tance of attending the fair. There
is always something to learn, and
