The question of a $200,000 bond issue for Alamance County to build permanent highways is being agita ted, and it is probable that the County Commissioners will be aakod to order an election to vote on the proposition. The Graham Hoard of Trade at a meeting last Friday ap pointed a committee to confer with similar committee from the busi nits men's organization at Burling ton reguarding the road question That Alamance County needs and must hart better roads, if she wish is to more forward and maintain her standing as a progressive county, is ' foregone conclusion. The far mer j nee 1 better roads that they may accomplish tbomaxium amount of work with the latest expenditure of energy adequate. Such is the liw of progression. The day doing things by "main strength and awkwardness" is past, and the day of all sorti of labor sav ing appliances is at hand and it ap plies to roads as well as anything else. Oar peipls deserve and must ha ?a better roads, and in getting th:a the clans muat be well matur ed and executed by thoughtful and capable men of sound judgment. Gp'ug in debt for roads is like g v lag in debt for anything ebw pay day will come by and by. The question moat be looked at from all points of view. It's a proposition , that deserves consideration and de liberate thought and action. There is a point that perhaps has not been , considered and that is, Low much rood will $200,000 build? This county ' is about 18x38 miles and oAce across each way would make 5Q (piles, and at the average rate of cet of permanent road building , $200,000 would build very few nffas more than 50. But this should be no objection to a bond ia- snv provided, and provided always that those in charge of the fond and - the construction are proper persons, for permission could Be obtained from the Legislature later on to in- cruse the issue. ' I Judge Ward has been "making the wool fly" lately. Last week at Durham every person convicted of retailing was either sent to the jail or the roads. They were not let off with fines. And st Greensboro this .. week four persons for playing poker . cio fined $1,400.00 two of them $50) each and the other two $300 each; and two other persona plead guilty of retailing and were fined $150 each a big lift for the school . fund. j Judge Ward does things, but his manner is so mild that, even though the penalty is heavy, the convicted does not so away feeling that he has been harshly dealt with. 1 . j Vermont hung a woman last Friday "for killing her husband Vhat was taken for fun, she tied lr husband and chloroformed him i1 death. - llary Mabel Rogers went ij the scaffold tit her crime after a i!te years legal battle. a. - WP"aaamaa-BaBHBjajBaaaaa"a aan am , v The Cotton market is see-sawing.

C, Dec. 11, 1905 In hU efforts to indueo le?in' l iruraigratiou to this Stain Governor Glenn and the State Board of Afjri culture have arrived nt a porit'oi difference as to the modiw uj-t-r.ndi to be employed. Tim . nvrn .r a tended one of the Hussion ( t lie Board of Agriculture which h.n been in session herd the last tlirtc days of the past week, and m an appeal for arrangements, fiii;ir.oiH! and otherwise, to be made fur i!it sending of exhibits of the resources and urodcta of North Carolina to the fairs to bo held next fall in New England States. The advocacy o( the plan is one of the results f the Governor s visit to thine fain' lat fall. He is impressed with the con viction that immigrants from that section can be induced to om) to tbia State, largely people who would purchase their own farms here, and that they would be among the most desirable class that we could secure, The subsequent action of the board, especially in the matter of making adequate provision for the financing of the plan, indicates that it is not in full accord with the Governor in bis views in the matter. It is said that about seven thousand dollars would be required to carry out the plan of the Governor. . But the board only arranged to expend less than one thousand dollars in securing certain exhibits of crops, which it is designed to place in the State museum, if not used in the making up of an exhibit to be sent to New England. Some of the members of the board opposed the idea of spending any of the mo iey tthe disposal of the depirrimt in sending exhibits to other States, in view of the fact thst the fairs in our own State furnish such excel lent exhibits. Many think, how ever, that the board is making a mistake in taking that position and hope that it will yet see its way clear to adopt the Governor's policy in tbe matter. The fact that cotton took a tum ble over twenty points last Satur day, following the latest "ginnera' report" isssued by the Government census bureau, after the jump of over five dollars a bale some ten days ago, caused by the preceeding bulletin of the bureau, has caused many thinking people to express the opinion that it would be better for all concerned if tbe bulletins, ! based on the returns aa now sent in by the ginnera, or rather a portion ; of them, were abolished altogether. It is well known that many of the ginners refuse to send in any reports at all to the Government, and it is alleged that a considerable number of ths reports that are fur nished do not state the truth. Un der such conditions it is, of course, impossible for these bulletins to set forth tbs true and sxact condition. The bill which Congressman Webb, of this State, has prepared to au thorise and require more frequent bulletins would in a measure pre vent such sudden and serious flue tuations, but a man well versed in such matters sUted that Mr. Webb would be doing this State ami the South a better service if he would change bis bill so .as to do away with these bulletins altogether. While Itjis tone that the cotton growers profited by tbe recent nidi cat advance in price it is the fact that they have more often suffered from ths effect the issuing of the bulletins have had upon tbe mark et The leading manufacturing- in dustry of ths South,' cotton man ufacturing, has suffered from them as much as ths farmen while, the stock market sharpers have been the chfef beneficiaries all the while. Ths indication that somy of the North Carolina ComrreesmMi at Washington, including one or both of our Senators, may be minded to support President Roosevelt's policy of government regulation ofrailroid and general transportation rates, is causing considerable comment beret- boots among ths prominent public men and party leaders, much of it decidedly unfavorable. The labor ing men and their organisations are also aligning themselves to cinsid- erable extent against ths President's policy in this matter. Mr.' J. B. Hawkins, of Chattanooga, Tenn a prominent labor anion leader, mid' an address hers last week before tbs Central Labor Uuion, in which he declared that ths enactment of th Etch-Townsend bill, which baa the approval of the President, would re suit in the cutting of the wages of three million employes, without soy appreciable benefit reeulilng to ' the ordinary ahipper or consumer. He waa replied to by a local labor union official, Mr. W. E. Faison, who did agree with him on all points, and who claimed that ths proposed law would lower the price of goods to the consumer. And there yon are. There stemi to be so honest diffo-: ence on this intricite question in all party lines, many of the atrongert Republicans io Congress slso oppos -i i p 'he I'reri.Un! on hie ndvopary this measure. . . , lie li.ij list Mute (.'uliveiilim a hie . luliiuriKfl S:t!ur!av n,; after Ix iigin tes.i 'n in lUlcigh f d:tys wa p?ulK'ly l lie l:srg-t at tended lind sum! niu-t inter: s'i. ; .n;d i i poit.t!.! i i i - evn held by limt lienonm.a'i.'ii in 11. in St. I-.

Tbe eminent Caroiiuian seems to be in special demand on occasions of this kind, and he has dedicated probably a score of new churches in North Carolina, South Carditis, Maryland and other states in the last few months. By the way, the Imudaoin new irick dormitory at the Trinity Bark .School is to be opened this week ar,d there will be interelins formal opening exercises. 1 be building is to be named in honor of the late headmaster, J.- F. Bivins, to whose irise management the rapid growth of the school is largely due. The rapid arfd lnrge increaso in alien- lance of students rendered the erec tion of this new and commodious lonnitory absolutaly necessary, and it is learned that there are already a large number of additional appiic i tions on file for the spring term. Some oi North Carolines politicians are billed to appear in Washington this week, it is stated by those who :tio supposed to know, on business intent. As the rate regulation bill is now awaiting the pleasure of Mr. Speaker Cannon it is reasonable to presume that the boom of his un certain inch gun will not be distinct ly heard this week One "of the, most learned and liberal and earnest sermons hoard in a Raleigh pulpit in many a Sun day was delivered from the pulpit of the Edenton street Methodist church pulpit last. nibt by Rev.
