Better Than Shingles
THOUSANDS of people
- buy shingles for their
roofs rather than face the prospect
of painting a ready roofing every
year or two.
Shingles are expensive, but they
are actually cheaper during ten
years than a ready roofing which
needs frequent painting to keep it
free from leaks.
Amatite roofing costs less than
half as much as shingles and does
not need painting either. It is
easier to lay and will give years of
long hard service without any care.
Amatite has a real mineral sur
face. That's why it needs no
painting. Once laid on your roof
your building, has r-al protection.
Amatite is easier to lay than ever
this year. The liquid cement for
the laps does not require heating
before use. A three-inch smooth
margin is left at the edge of the
sheet so that the laps will be tight
fitting and easily cemented. The
large headed nails which we fur
nish save fussing with caps, which
rust easily.
Amalite is up to date.
Send for a Sample and look it
over. You'll never buy any other.

"THE ONE PARAMOUNT
NEED OF THE HOUR."
In the following letter to The
Lexington Dispatch, which is do
ing an it can to secure good
roads for Davidson county, ex-
Gov. Robert B. Glenn sets forth
some truths that it would be well
for the people of Robeson coun
ty, which needs to build perma
nent roads, to read and ponder
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Your letter requesting me to
write you an article in regard to
what I thought good roads mean
in the upbuilding of counties and
States has been received. To
show what I think of the
worth of good roads, I need but
emote from past utterances of
mine on this subject. On Janu
ary 11, 1905, in my inaugural ad
dres before the General Assem
bly. I used this language: "Our
General Assembly should encour
age every effort that is being
made to improve our defective
-cr.d system and provide all need
ed laws to aid in the construction
of good roads. Every county or
township that desires it, should
be given a chance to improve
their highways by bond issue, or
other mode of taxation, for it has
been truly said that next to 111!
teracy, mud levies the highest
tax on a State or county. Good
roads to our markets enhance the
value of our lands, and farm pro
ducts, and the taxes paid for the
construction ot good roaos is
more than restored to the citizens
by the increased facilities in
hauling heavy loads, time saved
in going and coming, and by the
protection of our live stock and
vehicles from the wear and
wreck of mud and stone." In
my message to the Legislature of
1907, I again reiterated the need
and necessity of having good!
highways in every county, and
urged that a greater interest be
taken in this matter so vital to a
county'swealth and development.
Again in my last message to the
Legislature in January, 1909, I
repeated all that I had said in
my two former addresses, and
added this advice: "I have tak
en an active interest in every
measure looking to the improve
ment of our roads, making many
speeches in the interest of bond
issues for this purpose, and doing
what I could to bring the minds
of the people to a healthy senti
ment along this line. The peo
ple are now ready tor the
work, and I commend to this
Legislature, and the m-coming
Governor as the one paramount
need of the hour, Good Roads, and
if the next administration should
accomplish nothing but
this one result of better high
ways, it would forever deserve
the thinks of a grateful and
rapidly enriched people."
GOOD ROADS PROGRESS: MUD
STAGNATION.
i might stop here, and say
nothing more, but since my trav
els through this State, and
throughout the South land, I can
now say positively that without a
single, solitary exception, those
counties that have a good system
of roads are very rapidly improv
ing in wealth, in the quality of
their farms, and in the population
of their cities and towns; while
those that still adhere to the old
mud highways, are many years
behind the others in every kind
of advancement. This statement
alone, which is absolutely veri
fied by observation, ought to com
pel every county to become
progressive along this line, and
see to it that it is not left
behind in this race of develop
ment. Look at Mecklenburg,
Durham, Guilford, Wake, and
Forsyth counties, and compare
them today with what they were
under the old system, and then
also compare these counties that
refuse to build good highways,
and no sane man can hesitate to
acknowledge what has been the
source of their rapid improve
ment. Lands increase in value,
where once situated on mud
pikes they were only worth $5
or $6 dollars an acre, whereas
now that mud has been convert
ed into macadam roads, they
cannot be bought for less than
$20 to $40 an acre, and some
times even higher. Farmers
with good roads can take ad
vantage of fluctuating crops by
going speedily to market before
prices fall, while under the old
system they had to wait for the
roads to dry out, or be likely to
stick in the mud, and before get
ting to market, the bottom had
dropped out of prices. Farmers
also can haul more than three
times the number of bales of
cotton, pounds ot tobacco, or
loads of wTood, than formerly,
while the wear and tear on their
stock, harness, and wagons,
would more than pay the taxas
they would have to pay for the
building of better highways.
There is also a great moral les
son in good roads. I would be
afraid to say what the old mud
svstem had cost our forefathers
in their talk to their horses when
stuck in the mud, whereas under
the new system without any un
necessary harsh usage they can
drive their teams to the nearest
town without any breakage, or
any serious damage to their re
ligion.
I have said enough to show
that good roads bring wealth,
happiness, morality and peac
into a community and the only
thing necessary to add, is to ad
vise as the best method of secur
ing this new system. Some pre
fer direct increase of taxes, let
ting the present generation pay
and then being done with it once
for all. The others say, that as
the future generations get the ad
vantage of the enhanced value of
property, as well as the conven
ience of the system, they too
should pay their part of the tax
es, and let the bonds be gradual
ly paid off, by creating a sinking
fund for that purpose. The first
plan has been used in Forsythe
county and is rather hard while
good roads are in the process of
construction, while the latter
plan has been adopted in other
counties, and work well, very
slightly increasing the amount
of taxation. This is a matter
that should be left to the wisdom
of each county, but all should
agree that no matter what course
they pursue good roads must be
built.
As Red Buck Bryant, Washing
ton correspondent of The Char
lotte Observer, observes "Wash
ington is a great place for politi
cal rumors," just before making
which observation Red Buck
wrote, reporting gossip about
probable candidates for Con
gress:
Down in the sixth congres
sional distnet, where Hannibal
LaFayette Godwin reigns, there
is talk of A. J. McKinnon, better
known as Sandy McKinnon, of
Maxton. If Robeson desires to
send a Scotchman and will unite
on a man it would take hard work
to keep him from victory."
It was from Washington that
the report came that Mr. A. W
McLean, of Lumberton, would be
in the field to succeed Mr. God
win, but through The Robesonian
Mr. McLean stated very positive
ly that h. has no designs on that
office. Mr. McLean not only
said that he would not be a can
didatewould not accept the
nomination even if it were ten
dered him without opposition
but he thinks the Represents
tive should be selected from some
other county this time. We don
know how Mr. McKinnon feels
about it.
The Charlotte Observer quotes
from and comments upon "an
elaborate business directory o:
the United States Senate" print
ed in The New York Evening
Post. This directory shows so
many farmers, so many mer
chants, lawyers, etc., so many
holders ol stocks ot various
kinds, etc. ; and The Post ques
tions if they can give a"scientif

done the tariff will be just like
the trust and money kings want
it, whether "scientific" or not.
most helped. The locality that
can show the best continuous
line through the State will be
favored in the event of a Na
tional movement and a National
road from the North to the
South. -
It is expected that at least one
north and south line will be im
proved across the State. Already
several lines have been proposed.
A "Good Roads Circular" issued
by the North Carolina Geological
and Economic Survey, from
which the above is condensed,
has the following:
"This New York-Atlanta au
tomobile tour will pass through
the Piedmont section of North
Carolina either through Rock
ingham and Forsyth or Rocking
ham and (juillord and then
Davidson, Rowan. Cabarrus.
Mecklenburg and Gaston coun
ties, lhese counties throuerh
which the route will pass will
have an opportunity to complete
or certain prizes that are offer
ed:
'One thousand dollars for the
best stretch of road in anv one
county (length to be determined)
between some point in Vinrinia
or North Carolina and Atlanta,
Ga.
'Five hundred-dollars for the
second best stretch of road in
any one county.
lwo hundred and fiftv dol-
ars for the third best stretch of
road in any one county.

route will be approximately as f ol-
ows: Danville.Va..toReidsville.
C. : Greensboro. Hierh Point.
Lexington, Salisbury, Concord,
Charlotte, Gastonia, Kings Moun
tain to Blacksburg, S. C. Con
siderable of this road is alreadv
macadamized in Guilford, Row
an, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg and
Gaston counties, but there are
numerous gaps which should be
macadamized as rapidly as pos
sible. JNorth Carolina has tak
en the lead of any State in the
South in good road construction,
and we should se to it that we
hold that lead, for upon our
good roads depends our indus
trial advancement and success.
Another route from Wash
ington through the South that
is attracting considerable at
tention and which will shortly
become a touring route to
Florida is from Washington to
Richmond, to Petersburg, Hen
derson, Franklinton, Raleigh,
Pmehurst, to Camdem, S. C.
Considerable interest has al
ready been manifested in this
route by the people of North
Carolina, and it is expected that
in the near future the route will
be decided upon and special ef-
ions maae to nave the various
counties through which the
road would pass begin the ma
cadamizing of their portion of
the road.
MUNICIPAL TRAINING
SCHOOLS.
MT. ELI AM MATTERS.
Men Should be Trained to Man
age Municipal Affairs.
Statsville Landmark.
Ex-Gov. Glenn spoke for pro
hibition in Columbia, S. C, a
few days ago, and answering the
objection that prohibition cannot
be enforced, he said in effect
that he would take the office of
mayor of Columbia and guaran
tee to enforce the law. There is
a suggestion that the ex-Governor,
in the event Columbia
should vote for prohibition, be
allowed to try his hand; and
The Landmark undertakes to
say that if he were given the
opportunity, with - a free hand
and the backing of the law-abiding
people, he would succeed.
11ns suggests another matter.
The Landmark hopes that very
soon some sort of a training school
will be established to train men
to managt ...unicipal affairs just
as they are now trained to manage
other lines of business. Our
present system of municipal gov
ernment is a failure. That it is
a failure is largely due to the
fact that with the coming of
modern conveniences lights,
water, paved streets, etc. most
of the municipalities own their
light and water plants and the
management of municipal gov
ernment is a business matter.
Under the present system, even
if the mayor and aldermen are
good business men, they " cannot
give the time necessary to the
successful management of the
business. Hence the necessity
of men trained especially in the
business that pertains to a
municipality; men who will not
only have the technical knowl
edge necessary to be able to
guard the town against the im
positions of contractors in any
ine of work, but men capable of
successfully administering the
allairs of a corporation, who can
secure the best results for the
east expenditure.
1 he commission form of gov
ernment, which places the af
fairs of the town in the hands of
wo or three salaried commis
sioners who administer its affairs
on business principles, has been
tried successfully in a number of
cities, b or the smaller munici
palities, The Landmark's idea
is a business manager for all the
affairs of a town, the board of
aldermen to act purely as a
beard of directors of the cor
poration, ine average munici
pality could afford to pay such a

Marriage On Void Licenses.
Charlotte Observer.
A recent ruling made by Judge
Webb while holding Forsyth Su
perior Lourt has caused a good
deal of comment in the papers of
the state, lhe judge held, doubt
less rightly, that there is no law
empowering deputy registers of
deeds to issue marriage licenses.
and, consequently, licenses issued
by them are invalid. The case
will be taken to the Supreme
uCourt on the point raised by the
defendant in the indictment.
which tne judge dismissed and
from which ruling the State ap
pealed.
The charge in the indictment
was that of perjury against the
person who applied for the li
cense in swearing falsely as to
the age of the girl who was one
or tne parties to the proposed
marriage. The court held that
as the deputy register of deeds
had no authority to administer
oaths and grant marriage licenses
there could be no perjury on the
part ot a person making false
oath in such circumstances.
borne oi our exchanges, com
menting on this decision, seem to
think that a marriage performed
under such license would be void
These papers say that should the
Supreme Court sustain the ru
mg of the court below there wi
be many parties in this State,
married under similar condition
who will suddenly find that they
were not legally married. We
do not want any persons about
to be married to take decisive ac
tion on our.opinion on this mat
ter, but we do not believe!the va
lidity of a marriage would be in
he least affected by an irregular
ity in the issuing cf the license.
Under most circumstances even
a supposed license is not neces
sary to the validity of a mar
riage. There is a heavy penalty
imposed on the person perform
ing the ceremony if he does not
have the license produced before
or at the time of the marriage
and does not return it to the reg
ister of deeds within a certain
time after the marriage, but
those people who were married
in good taith under an absolute
ly void license need have any
fears as to the legality of the cer
emony. The strict regulations
regarding the issue and return
of marriage licenses are not pri-
businese mrnager a large salary,
or a strictly business adminis
tration of the affairs of the av
erage town would save the sal
ary many times over. But the
business manager for a munici
pality would have to be an all-
around man: it would be no
cessary for him to have techical
knowledge of electricity, plumb
ing, street, work, etc. To secure
this a sort of general training
school would be necessary. If the
training school were established
and men trained in it, just as
they are trained in textile schools
and similar institutions, the
graduates would be open to en
gagement in any municipality
and the matter of citizenship
would not count. It is said that
in Germany men are trained for
this special work and it is not
uncommon to select a man as
mayor who never saw the town
he is called to govern. The
Landmark would retain the
present system as to mayor and
aldermen, but would have them
as directors only. The business
manager would be selected and
put in charge of the active man
agement of the municipality,
just as the secretary- and treas
urer of a cotton mill, for in
stance, is placed in charge of the
mill and expected to accomplish
results. If some of the million
aires who don't know what to do
with their money would establish
this municipal training school
they would, in The Landmark's
judgment, confer a great and
lasting benefit on the urban
communities of the land.
