One oi tne mon wortn-wni e things in the State is her road system. It can be seriously crip pled by * false more that is sore to result in s squabble. As to the gas tax rate, the golden mien seems to bare been hit upon?it is high enough and not too low, and it is providing a golden stream that is supplying an uanmatched system of high ways. Suppose a part of the fond were diverted, there wonld be no appreciable impetus in road con struction. But there wopld be added hundreds to meddle with its expenditure, and some of it, doubtless much of it, wasted or The Highway Commission was created to build a system of Stete highways, and a plan to finance them was devised. Both have worked admirably?so, let 'em alone. >etionse of the State have mur mured on account of seeminv neglect. It's s State scheme and all sections could not be served st one and the same time, but all sections will be served as rapidly as funds will admit. It is hoped the Legislature will keep a level head aud let I be roads alone. AT UTTY HAW! On last Monday at Kitly Hawk, down in the northeast corner of the Old {North State, waa cele brated the 25th nnnirereery of the first flight man ever made in b heavier-than-air piece of mechanism?a flying machine. The two Wright biothers made the machine and flew it. The first flight was only 120 feet, but the baby had to take its first atep. In tboee days the lamented Joseph P. Caldwell edited the Charlotte 0beerrer, and frequent ly he would say "they will fly yet, like birds." His prophecy has been more than fulfilled.

The newspaper which is not a community builder is failing of its purpose, and does not de serve to live. More than any one agency in a community the newspaper is looked to as a leader in municipal activity. If it supports an enterprise, that enterprise probably will succeed.
