C. THURSDAY. .MARCH 2-8', HUB PATIENCE IS A NICE THING TO HOLD It is easy to understand why the rural dwellers are anxious that their roads be pin into passable condition. For practically the entire winter the folks who live "out In the sticks" as the saying goes have been bound to puddle along as best they conUl over nuty. muddy roads, and someliitu's, in some cases, oftentimes, the ruts and the mud have been so completely forbidding that there has been very little chance of "making it" when anyone tried to make even a short trip. Plainly, it has been a case where in there ha.s been much grumbling. The blame had to be placed some where, and whore olse but the State Highway Commission? Maintenance of the roads is entirely In the hands of that organization, and it was quite n.atural that all blasts of criticism were hurled at it. The public, you understand, Is alow to accept ex cuses. It has not been so easy for the public to understand that even the heretofore efflcieiU Highway Com mission cannot perform miracles, or in other words, do something with out something lo do It with. For one thing, the shortage of materials and equipment has affected, the Highway Commlsislon’s opera tions as it has affected practically everything else. Then, too, the High way Commission has had Its share of the worry over the lack of help. few weeks ago the Commission was advertising for workmen. The News feele sure that the Com mission Is proceeding with the main tenance of roads as well as possible under the circumstances. We would suggest, as we have before, that tho private contractors be allowed to as- .'ist in the big Job of putting the roads in good shape, and we under- lUaud that this is to be done on a r.ather large scale. But even the con tractors have their problems, just as the Comml.ssion does; and as all oth ers have. .A.nd so. The Now,3 feels that it is not out of order at this time to sug gest (iiat the public exercise just a w,o bli more patience. It is h.aidly to be doubted that the Highway Commission will get around to tho job of revamping our roads just as soon as it is possible to se cure the- means with which to do so. Wo believe the Governor meant what he said when he declared he means to see to it that the rural roads are put in good shape as early as pos- ■'ible, and wts believe the Highway Commission is just anxious as the Governor to see that It Is done. BROAD VIEW NEEDED ON SCHOOL BOND ISSUE Following the mass meeting last Wednesday afternoon, at which the County Commissioners and Education Board heard mostly from proponents why the county should Issue $756.0(?0' in bonds to make additions to the schoolhouses, the,Commissioners de cided to call an election and allow the voters to settle tho question. ' At the outset, it should be said that the mass meeting was not as well attended as it should havo been. Those who conduct tne schools, the governing officials and the instruc tors, were well represented, but out side of this group there were few persons sufficiently interested to go and hear the arguments. The meeting did not furnish the Commissioners the Information they wanted. They knew, to begin with, that the group known as the “school folks" were in favor of the bond Is sue. What they sought was the Idea of those—the twelve thousand other voters and taxpayers. Tho reason the Commissioners sought to "get a line", on what the .people thought about It was that they wanted to save tho county the cost of the election If It so happened that a majority of the people were against it. no doubt he went to a lot of palns- ttiklng to fix up. At least he ought to come In for honorable mention for his,efforts. And, by;^ golly,,^he isn't evenrcalled the best man, some'-bther follow' hooke onto that; Can , you , . ^ llOME PERTINENT OBSERVATIONS blame the mem for not reading the -. wedding write-ups? , Again, .possibly' If the groom’s wearables' were nion-^ tioned It might furnish a hint to oth er prospectlves' as a sort of-guide', you knq^. " Qh well, before dismissing the sub ject, the Column will relate’.": Once at a swank wedding when al), the menfolks were ehlned-up and dressed up^^as uncomfortable as any grouq;qi^ UNDERSTANDING IN WAR, WHY NQT IN PEACE? But now that tbe; Commissioners On both international and domes tic affair.s our nation seems to be a bit “up In the air," Thorns In the ribs of the Administration are of foreign and homo growth. Nothing seem.H to bring about an understand ing between either groups or nations, "Fog" seems lo be the best descrip tion of what hangs over the beads .'ind even in the minds of rulers both at home and abroad. .\nrt this causes the common citi zen to wonder why it is that during the war It was so easy to come to a complete understanding—In' fact so complete that the war came to an end much riooner than most peoplo anticipated—in fact, .simply "busted" right in everybody’s face—but now there Is difficulty in arriving at peace terms. The News, docs not believe Russia Is as "hard to get along with” as some sources would lead us to think. We believe, surely, that Ruslaa Is actively engaged right now In the business of looking out for number one. .4nd why not? Hasn’t she been forced to do that -very thirAg all through the years? We ihink our people are too much perturbed over "v/hat Russia Is try ing to do.” We also think they are worrying loo much about what other nations might do.' What should concern our people mo.si right now Is: What are we do ing to get our own house In order? There Is plenty to be done along this line. It would seem, by all the stand- have decided to put the matte', to the voters for a decision, It Is neces sary that each voter take a broad view of the matter before casting a ballot one way or the other. We say one way or the other, because we feel sure there will be some votes cast against the proposition—probably a good many votes. iln tho first place. It must be ad mitted that the schools are in great need of the improvements the Board of Education Is calling for. Every fair-minded person will of course ad mit that. Tho entire matter should, we think, rest upon that fact. The simple fact that the need Is plain and urgent should cause every voter to take a serious view of the bond issue, and decide upon sound and practical basic whether our schools must continue to bo hampered by lack of proper facilities, or whether they shall have the funds with which to go forward and function as effi ciently as all of us want them to. 'In times past, the Harnett school system could boast that it was one of the 'finest, moat complete and most efficient in the State, 'i'hat was say ing a big mouthful, but It was true.,. It is not true now. The school pop ulation has increased, but the facili ties have not kept pace. The system’s equipment, excellent and well cacu- lated to suffice for the time when It was inaugurated, is not adequate now. The reason la obvious. Ary plant or equipment taxed to Its uV most capacity will give way at the scams sooner or later. There are now many serious failures, no fault of the system, but simply because l-t was designed to accommodate a situation that haa changed, very materially, since the time the “consolidation” of Schools was inaugurated. There Is this to consider when thinking of and providing for tho schools: They constitute the agency, the sole agency, by which the chil dren are to be furnished a founda tion for their future Intellectual wel fare. Education means a good deal more than some people seem to be willing to concede. Proper and ade quate training la something that no person c.an conveniently toss aside In this modern, striding world! To be sure, tho schools can get along “as best they can’’ with what they have. But what clear-thinking people desire Is that the schools get along as beat they can with BETTER THAN THEY HAVE! -It Is In the hope that all of the voters will carefully and thoughtfuUy- conslder both the importance of the adequacy of the equipment and fa cilities of the schools,'-,and tho tre- mondous necessity that tho children be afforded the very highest and most advantageous' opportunity In their educational training—It is In this hope -that The News herewith direole attention to the bond Issue election to be held sometime in the near future. ineA could be’,.'a lady (sidled , up;C^o Ihis'!,,Scribe and wh'ls’per^t^^r;.“l’v« never seen such a nice, 'clealA looking bunch of men in my life.”'.;' ’ ♦ * * /' “WHY DON’T YOU?”—Down at the courthouse last Wednesday ^when the mass-talking was going on,about the bond Issue for schools, Mr,', David Henry Son ter, warhorse of 'Chaly.b'ei ate, was just about to wind argument “agin" It, when ho ha'ppen- ed to think about his good frf'^n'di: Mr. Joel G. Layton, sV. To be'bur^;. Mr. Layton ought to say sometiilng- about theV,Issue, thought M:'. Davl^ Henry. So,; turning to Mr, Layton, he said, “Mr. Layton, don’t you want to say something?" "No,” said Mr. -Layton.'“Why.not?” yelled Mr. ,Dave Henry. That brought the biggeat laugh of the whole meeting. * * •ABSENT.—Noticeably'absent from the mass meeting were the politi cians. Polks seeking office are wary of such things. There’s a lot, of un popularity in them thar meetings! And that’s one ihiug your politician wants as little as possible of—un popularity. They’d rather give youi their i5tand on the law of supply and demand, tho regulation of'the weath,; or, anything except a bond issue. That’s “plzen” to politicians. And when you come right down to brass tacks, you can’t mu-;h.blame them,^ For, just so sure as they jet U b^e. known they had taken sides.one way' or the oiher, the, side that) sided on ■the opposite eido would- be mighty^ yStopplhg In Fuquay Springs for a few minutes not many days ago, the acufi© shortage of many articles was Impressed very forcibly upon me-,by‘ an old colored man.*Coming down the street, this old darky called to me,, “Mister, can you please let me have f,'.he time of day?

I am glad l.e hat3 return^ to England and I believe his coming to America at this time has endangered the peace of the wqrld. His Inopt fire and brimstone speech at Fulton, Mo., was ill-advised.

The latest Is as follows: ••( Mr. B. G. Rainbeaut, a. resident of tills community, quoted Mr. Hamilton as saying^ln his address advocating the bond issue for ^schools that the $500,000 bonded debt v/ould not In- >r. , crease .taxes. He asked mo to explain. I said to^Mr. Rambeaut that my knowledge of economics ^may^ be somewhat obsolete, but the only'way for one to increase a ,,debt and not pay more la not to pay. That Is the way it works with me. People who owe me more: and do' not pay me more just don’t pay. I trust Mr. 'Hamilton^ may eluc.idate further 'so that our people may understand his argument better.

This was not so bad because we would have had to pick off some of the ^peaches anyway. The trees were so full they never would hare matured so many peaches.
