The annual, report of the Guilford county highway commission shows that nearly 23 miles of roads w ere graded and macadamized during the past 12 months at a cost of about $3,200 a mile. This makes 60 miles of com pleted macadam roads the highway commission has built, with 20 miles of new roads already designated and on which work has been begun. Of the $300,000 bond issue voted by the county five years ago for perma nent road work, some $55,0Q0; of the bo ild s remain unsold, which, when disposed of, will bring, with accrued interest, in the neighborhood of $60, 000. The commission also has $20,000 in cash and expects to derive $10,000 from fees collected by county officers which, under the Gordon bill, goes to the road fund. The highway commission maintains three camps and separate forces of hands numbering about oue hundred men. Value of the equipment of these outfits Is estimated to be not less than $25,000. As indicative of what this equipment consists it may be stated that, besides machinery and tools, the road forces are now working fcixty-six mules. Last month a little over three miles of road was built, and during the rest of the summer the work will probably go forward at a good rate. In the win ter a mile a month is considered a good average for the road-builders; When the roads that are now projected have been finished others will be taken up, and the work will go on until all the funds at the disposal of the highway commission have been expended.. Those who constitute the highway commission are: John L. King, chair man; D. H. Coble, J. A. Hoskms, F. M. Pickett, D. E. Wagoner and E. J. Stafford, secretary. The Greensboro Lean and Trust Company is treasurer of the commission, and J. Giles Fou ahee is superintendent of the road working forces. IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

I FARMING ON BIG SCALE. What Mr. Benbow Saw on Trip to the Sonthwesr. Mr. Charles D. Ben bow, who re turned several days ago -from a trip through Oklahoma, Arizona and Kan sas, talks most interestingly of the big farming he saw on his tiip. In the great w heat fields he saw many great machines, drawn by six horses, simply cutting off the heads of the wheat and. delivering the wheat already threshed into two bushel bags already for mar ket, and all in one operation with one driver and one extra man helper to lift the bags off the reaper's platform. ', In all parts of Arizona, he found great fields of grass and alfalfa, moisture be ing furnished in this rainless country by means of irrigation, this being made possible by the co-operative private efforts of the land owners joined with the aid of the stafe and United States government. He spent a night with one farmer, who with four horses and two hired men operated seven hundred acres, on 200 of which he got a' yield of 8,000 bushels of corn alone. The alfalfa is harvested and prepared for market entirely by machinery, va greater part of the hay being ground and shipped in sacks instead of being cut or baled in the rough.! At one place Mr. Benbow met a farmer, a native of North Carolina who had gone to Oklahoma, who was grazing 62,000 sheep on cultivated grasses. Crimson clover seed at Gardner's.

Considerable comment nas Deen oc casioned by the publication in the Industrial News of an interview with Mr. Charles H. Ireland predict ing the election of Taft over Bryan. Mr. Ireland, who is one of the most prominent business men in the city and a former chairman of the Dem ocratic executive committee of Green boro, is quoted by the News as say ing that Bryan , is a "hundred years ahead of his day and generation, and I have no more idea that he will be elected that that I will not go home for my supper tonight." The Democrats who have picked out the Greensboro postoffice -as a nice berth to "occupy during the Bryan administration, as well as 'many other faithful party workers, do-not agree with Mr. Ireland's views.
