hard to tell who would be the
winner of the handsome rug
offered by Messrs. White & Gough
and the two-nound box of candy

Co. But after final count we found
that Miss Jenkins had won by a
good majority. But it was only

possible for her to win, as the

There will be more special prizes

Mr. Wet more' Proposed Swamp
Eoad.
MT, ELIAM MATTERS.
Consequence
Charlotte Observer.
A meeting was held at Lumber
ton on Saturday to organize a
good roads association for Robe
son county and a correspondent
of The Robesonian offered some
preliminary suggestions for con
sideration which are of interest
"oeyond the locality to which they
have SDecial reference. This
correspondent sizes up the gen
eral situation as follows : 'Robe
son county abounds in good-roads
possibilities. Some of these are
along roads now established.
Others would better be relocated
in order to straighten and secure
a more easily improved route. In
still other places an entirely new
road would stimulate undevelop
ed territory and be of great ben
efit to the traveling public." It
may be remarked that the same
three alternatives are open to
builders in every section of the
State. ,
With lerard to new routes this
observer outlines one lying be
tween Maxton and Lumberton
which offers some unusual fea
tures. His idea is to utilize the
line of the main drain of Back
and Jacob swamps. "The road,"
he explains, "would be con
structed by merely leveling off
the spoil bank on one side of the
ditch as soon as properly settled.
This would cost little compared
with the building of any other
road of equal merit The course
would be direct, almost an air
line. There would be an entire
elimination of grades, not a
suspicion of a hill occurring in
24 miles, and there would be no
sharp turns. All the necessary
material for a first-class road is
immediately available at all
points along the line and this
material is oi the best wearing
quality, thus insuring a low cost
of maintenance. Last and
greatest of all. this road would
have perfect drainage."
The Robesonian's correspon
dent has outlined some very at
tractive features possessed by his
proposed new route and there
are doubtless many other such
swamp roads which wait for the
building in other sections of this
State.
