HIGHWAY COMMISSION'S REPORT.
nearly 23 Miles of Roads Built During
Past Year, Bringing Total to 60 Miles.
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.

Greensboro is known in stageland as a
city that liberally patronizes worthy

Special Reefing of County Commissioners

did not take advantage of the specia
meeting to turn over their books wil
have an opportunity of doing eo at the
regular August meeting of the board o
commissioners.
The commissioners opened the bids
for the repairing and repainting of the
court house. There were five bidders
the contract being awarded to Con
tractor E. R. Brewer. It calls for two
coats of paint on the outside of the

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.

Mr. Ireland Predicts Taft's Election.
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.
