Indeed, it is thought now that the time for pay ing interest may be reduced to 32 years. Not that we love the bond issue at first proposed less, but that we love the Clark bill plan more. It is unquestionably the way for a coun ty to get money to build roads. It is one of the best pieces of legis lation ever passed. The State bor rows money at 3 1-2 or 4 per cent and lends -it to the county at 5 per cent. The difference between what the State pays and what the county pays will retire the bonds in 41 years, if the State borrows at 4 per cent, or in 32 years, it is said, if the State borrow at 3 1-2 per cent. Only $80,000 can be obtained by tne county in one year. When he - "was in Raleigh Monday Senator Gough made application for Robe son for $80,000 a year for six years. This puts Robeson the second county to make application for this money, Johnston county being the first. This is a better plan than voting the $500,000 bond issue under the special act for Robeson, and those who are in favor of a bond issue "will no doubt to man rally to the support of tha issu under the Clark bilL 19th from Ply ed in the fight with Whitener and the court up and socked a good fine to him for contempt and so far as the records show the court did not even frown at the attorney. So. Of course in this instance the attorney should have been licked and licked good and proper, and should have been fined besides. But since things do not al ways happen like they should happen it would be best for defendants and witnesses to adopt the policy of a certain man who went to hear Sam Jones preach. He said he admitted right at the start that he was a flop eared hound, ard there was no ar gument about it and everybody felt good. You can save lots of trouble in the court room by admitting first off that you are anything the lawyer on the other side is a-mind to call you. ':' GOOD ROAD WORK Unpaved streets in Lumberton are being put in jrotd condition at a cost of $66.60 th mile. That is ac cording to figures made the other lay by Civil Engineer Mullis after a stretch of road had been measured off on Elm street by Dr. T. C. John Bon. The work is beinor done urder the direction of Mr. F. A. Wishart, street foreman. He is using two Toad plows, a disc plow, a road plane, a split-log drag, and he has four men at work under him. The cost is the girls that the series between the a diST)atch of th girls would not m any way altect m0uth.

Ten Mil Literary Society, Lumberton, N. C, R. F. D. Gentlemen: We have been expecting for some, It was stated in press dispatches the other day that Grand Duke Mich ael, brother of the Czar, abdicaated immediately after he was appointed Regent. The truth of the matter seems to be that he announced that he would accept only by a vote of the people. Which simple announcement carries volumns of comment on the completeness of the victory of the people. Faney a member of the rul ing house of Russia being willing and anxious to bow to the sovereign will of the people, who a time ago were but as th durt urder the feet of his Czar brother. These be times of change, indeed. Now if the people or Germany will clean up the house of Hohenzollern there may be some chance for peace and order in the world for the next hundred years. o Bladen county not onlv has waked to the advantages of good roads, is suing bonds right and left to build them, but has waked ud all over and The Journal says the county is go ing to have a board of trade.

Even at $500 a mile it does look like Robeson ought to have a few miles of good roads out of that money. Where are those miles of good roads? Take Lumberton township, if you please. What has been done with the money this township has paid in for road work during the past year? What is there to show for the mon ey? Seeing that crood roads actuallv can be built in this section for less than $100 the mile, it looks like Robe-on county ought to have a few miles of good roads. It will be an easy matter to get good roads all over the county if bond3. are issued and the money is spent honestly on the roads.
