landed over a fuuu . -
n agreement uas finally -been reach
Oy te Southern railway, county
athoritiee and the State Highway
Emission providing for early con
auction of two underpasses on the
Greensboro - Gibsonville highway.
,Lt Vill start at once, It is an
Innced and should be completed
SSorthan December 15. . - ,
N-ew, concerning the generally
ck-cory development was em
hodied in a letter received here from
ate highway -Commissioner Frank
page by E. D Broadhurst, of . this
tit?, 'special counsel for the coiraty
in "this matter.
The two underpasses, Mr. 4age in
formed ,Mr. Broadhurst,- "Will be
constructed immediately by the
fiouthern railway doing part of 'the
trork and the State iHighway com
mission awarding contract for the
remaining part of the work, name
jv the excavation and the concrete
abutments." Mr. Page has been as
sured 'by 'r- Herman, assistant to
tne vice-president of the Southern
..ihrav "that he will immediately
iu the necessary work of putting in
temporary trestles so that these, con
crete abutmeifts may be built with
out further delay."
It is announced that the two un
derpasses will be of concrete the
most durable material obtainable
for such work... The one at ,Four
ffiie Crossing will have a 24-foot
clearance, while the clearance of the
one at Gibsonville will be 30 -feet,"
the latter permitting provision "of a
sidewalk through the underpass.
for its share of the. propQition
the county will pay not move than
S24.00O. Already t"he county has
done grading work of the estimated
Talue of $7,000 and has agreed'' to
pay not more than $17,006 as its
part of the additional work. W.was
estimated that the temporary Un
derpasses which . were - recently in
contemplation woiHUuv oUif" $3 OV k
000. The concrete underpass . will
be of permanent character.'-
For many weeks difficulty has
been experienced In the negotiations
with the Southern railway regarding
the underpasses. When the Whit-sett-Sedalia
route was selected "by
the State Highway commission in
preference to the Frieden's churchJ
route the commission stated tnat
the road would be constructed with
out additional cost to the state on
account of th underpasses. It was
decided that the. quesilon of the tin-'
derpasses would be determined by
the county and the Southern rail
way. County officials say theyre
ceived assurances tnat the railroad
ould finance the project.
However, after work on the road
as started the Southern railway
declared that it could not build . the
underpasses: it was asserted that
the promise to finance the enter
prise had been made without au
thority. Continued efforts to reach
an amicable settlement were unsuc
cessful and at one time litigation
appeared probable. Subsequently
the county made preparation for
instruction of temporary under
passes. Railway officials then be
came actively interested in" the mat-to-
Chairman Ffank Page, of the
State Highway commission, .assisted
in development of the negotiations
vhich finally proved successful;
The entire road will be open be
fore Christmas, it is expected.

Mr. Lloyd George did not say -specifically
that -it was his purpose
to lead the liberal body; he did not
refrain, as a$ -Manchester, fromin
dorsing Austen Chamberlain's pro
nouncement that the labor party was
a menace to the country. After re
viewing the achievements of his gov
ernment in war and peace, and nar- .
ticularly holding up its success in
restoring Great Britain's commercial
prestige, he exclaimed: "And they,
have smashed the combination that
has pulled through our trade, our
commerce and our credit, through
out the world; it is a crime against
the nation."
He voiced a warm tribute' to his
chancellors of the exchequer, Mr.
Chamberlain and Sir 'Robert Steven

ments to the anti-waste outcry, de
claring that, its leaders gave no help

strongly probable that the Irish
treaty will be ratified -by parlia
ment within the next few weeks.
During the seven ears of his
tenure of office as prime minister
Mr; Lloyd George has made a re
markable record. It is generally
agreed that his overthrow wafc the
natural result of his trying to please

it impossible to do so.
