To Be Built In
State At Once
Contracts Totaling $7,000,900 Will be
Let by Chairman Page in Next Few
Weeks Total, cf. $18,000,000. of
Roads Approved for Building With.
in First Year of New Commission.
Immediate construction on 4i2
miles of roads in North Carolina,
costing over $7,000,000, has been
ordered by the State Highway Com
mission, an much of the road will be
completed and put into service before
the end of the summer. Every dis
trict in the State, and almost every
county in the State, is included in the
list of projects approved for im
mediate construction.
Altogether the commission has ap
proved the building of more than J8
million dollars worth of road, with
a total of more than 1,000 miles, since
reorganization was effected following
the enactment of new road legislation
by the last session of the General
Assembly. Limitation of material
supply and construction forces make
it necessary to give some roads pre
ference. As near as possible, construction
will proceed simultaneously in each
of the nine districts, with an equalized
distribution of State money. Many
of the counties .in the State have
come in under the Guilford-Forsyth
resolution, and in some instances this
fact gives one distric a larger im
mediate mileage than others. Parti
cularly is this so of the Sixth district,
which will complete the Charlotte
Statesville road, hard surfaced for 43
miles, at a cost of approximately lr.
290,000.
" Counties Will Help.
Under the Guilford-Forsyth resolu
tion, counties desiring immediate work
on roads may build them under the di.
rect supervision of toe State, the
contracts being let by the . State. nd
i tiA Viinfi -.... lL'-jar.
the counties' wy.u. invct, .
will reimburse the county at its own
convenience', when bonds are sold or
Other funds are availble. Many of
the counties have come in under that
arrangement, which makes possible
the immediate building of many
roads.
Construction has been distributed,
in so far as possible, to bring the
whole Stat6 within communication.
Many- projects, particularly in the
western districts, were let several
weeks ago, after the second session
of the commission here, and are not
included in the list of roads laid out
for immediate building. Work on
many of them is already under way.
Wide difference in cost as between
east and west districts have developed
on account of grading and availability
of material. In the east an excellent
gravel road is being built at an ap
proximate cost of 5,000 to 17,000 per
mile, while in the west the same type
of road costs a minimum of $10,000.
In the east the cost of a mile of hard
surface road is approximately the
same as the cost of the same road
in the west, despite the heavy grad
ing in the latter, because of the fact
that rock and other material is avail
able on -the spot, or very near.
Raleigh News and Observer.
Among the roads to be built im
mediately are the following" in this
district, the third, of which Robeson
is a part:
Third District

the Reading circle at Red Springs
and Shannon and had 9 successful
meetings.
About 20 students will enter the
7th grade next year. The industrial
work of the school was excellent. An
entertainment was given to raise
money to buy material for industrial
wbrk for the school. A flue was built
for the school's cook stoves and a
teacherage bedrocm. Because of the
low price cctton the committeemen i
made benches to seat the school. Prof.
George C. Murphy has orders from I
the community for mattress making
next year.
We highly appreciate what the :
honorable board of education and the
people of Shannon have done to make
the school a success. I

The Monkey Rum Business.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Just want to write a short peice
about the monkey rum business. I
read a peice from Fairmont that said
some old men, as well as young, were
being carried to hell by the filthy
stuff, but it seems as if more old
grey-headed men with one foot al
ready in the grave are visiting the
swamps. Isn't it a shame to see so
many old men and young ones too.
drunk on the mess and going the pub
lie highways and no doubt many a
dear moth : has gone to her grave i
heartbroken because husband or son
is a drunkard and no doubt have been
cursed by the husband who is drunk
and unconscious of what he is doing
; and if it wont for the nasty tness he
l wouldn't do it and it is awful to see
a young man drunk and can't walk
straight but so many are leading
them into this great sin. Fathers,
what do you mean by leading a son
or daughter to a drunkard's hell? It
is time and high time something is
being done to clear the State of the
nasty mess.
