CONCERTED ACTION NEEDED
^ A news item in the Wilmington
Star records that "resolutions urging
that members of the Ccrtcrai Assem
bly from Pender, Bladen and Onslow
counties be requested to amend the
act of 1821 so as to extend route
No. 23 of the North Carolina high
way system from Elizabethtown to
Jacksonviile via Burgaw were adopt
ed at an enthusiastic meeting of ti e
Tri*€ounty Highway association"
held at; Burgaw on the night of the
l^t."
Speakers called . to the
fact that it was the purpose of the
... "W*W"192r ttrfW!WrfdtMft-neats
Which has not been done in this
immediate section. Wou!d it not he
a good idea for Robeson, Blade n,
Cumberland, Columbus and Hoke
counties to form an association for
the purpose of seeing what can be
done about remedying the condition
of highways connecting their county
seats? Hard-surface highways are
badly needed connecting Lumberton
with Elizabethtown, Fayetteville,
Raeford and Whiteville, but no con
certed efforts are being made to
bring these needs to the attention of
Commissioner McGirt. Robeson and
adjoining counties,, have slept on
their rights, and other counties have
secured hard-surfacc roads not even
connecting county scats.
ii itooeson ana aajommg counties
do not press their claims to consid
eration and just dealing they are
going to get as iittie consideration
in apportionment of funds from the
additional money the Genera! As
sembly will be asked to provide as
they have received in apportionment
of the sixty-five millions that" have
been spent.
It would be hard to find roads
anywhere that need hard-surfacing
more than the roads connecting
Lumberton with Fayetteville and
Elizabethtown.
This is a matter that should have
public consideration at once, as The
Robesonian sees it. Robeson is beau
tifully supplied with State highways
on the map, but the improved high
ways are not on the ground. They
ere merely pictures of highways,
with the exception of one 23-mile
stretch. This county's claims have
received very little consideration and
are not likely to be given considera
tion as long as the people are content
to sleep on their rights.
A NOSE FOR NEWS
IM'-'' .linger the kbo)My#aptian the es-i

.coptps
The Robesonian tell
Afft ;{- itigf a^ WaRirtgiJwerld how a photog
rapher of color did a rushing busi
ness on the streets of this town
Christmas morning, giving the names
of some prominent and pulchritudi
nous gentlement who patronized this
2-minute service, and editorialiy com
ments as follows:
"We have at times in the past ob
served social columns where one's
rating was based to some extent on
the ability of the subject to assimi
late punishment in fashionable hospi
tals, but must admit that this newest
wrinkle from the pages of the digni
fied Lumberton Robeson ian excels.
"Can it be that a fast dying leap
year inspired a collusion between the
eligible bachelors and the Robesonian
repotter to advertise to a feminine
world the available crop of masculine
charms?
"Or can it be that Lumberton har
bors such a galaxy of celebrities that
the mere fact of their patronizing the
quick lunch beauty shop becocncs an
item of news?
"But please, Mr. Reporter, refrain
from giving us the color of the
mayor's pajamas."
Trouble with you, sonny, is that
vou may know a piece of news if
it's labeled and handed in, but would
never recognize an explosion right
under your nose. You might priht
an item about a dog running down
the street with a tin can tied to his
tail, but if that same dog happened
to walk down the street with the can
tied to his tail you'd pass it up. Re
minds of the cub reporter who was
sent to report a balloon ascension and
didn't write anything. When asked
by his editor why hg did not turn in
the story he replied there was noth
ing to report, that the balloon burst
and killed the man. Selah.
KNOW YOUR STATE
It is wcH to learn * something
about one's State every day. From
time to time this The Roboaonian
will give in this column some fact;
worth remembering about North Car
otins. In its issue New Year's day
I the Charlotte Observer published
enough '"'firsts" that are to be plac
ed to the credit of North Carolina
, to furnish grist of this kind for
sente time to come.
"Cur list of great men and great
things", says The Observer, "mahc3
; up a pridefui record. Some of the
I items in it are not so well known,
even by our own people . . .
Mildred Lewis Rutherford, the old
lady who as a young girl struck d
smail Confederate !lag in l.er hair
publishes The Scrap Book, a pnmph
iet which every month contains Valu
able information about the South."
In the August number "there is a con
tribution on 'North Carolina First'
by Mrs. P. S. Rothrock of Mount
Airy, historian of the North Caro
lina Division of the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy", and it is
from that record, as reproduced by
Tim Observer, tl at The Robeson will
draw for a few issues. Here are a
fpw to memorize before the next
issue:
The first and oldest, white settle
ment that has been continous in
America was established in the town
of Bath.
The first child of Anglo-Saxon
blood born in America was Virginia
Dare, born on Roanoite Island, N. C.
The /irst open resistances to the
British Crown was led by Herman
HwdMMap'tn Noftir^Hhgc '.
The first real clash at :MM9tag3in3t
the rule of Britian, was at ?,Ioore's
Creek, North Carolina.
The deciding battle of the Revolu
tionary War was founght at Gu-lford
Courthouse near Greensboro, Guilford
County, Horth Carolina.
THE ACID TEST
Throwing open' the doors of the
White House to ait who cared to
ca!!, states a Washington d'spatcln
President and Mrs. Coolidge n
ceived ^,000 visitors at their New
Year's se:cption^ For fo-:r hours
and a ha!f the President and ins wife
stood in the biuc rj-nn sbakin:!* hands
with their <.,ll?-s ro d extending and
receiving New* Year's gretmgs. Tire
number received, the dispatch con
tinues, was no greater than in pre
vious years, but the proportion of
the genera! pub!ic to the portion
classed as official wa3 larger. Ail
classes and conditions of people
called. There appears to be some
thing about the President and l,is
wife, a former school-marm, that
inspires respect and; confidence and
love. If they have been spoiled at
all by their high station it dees not
appear from reports of their doings.
Plain everyday folk, bent on doing
the day's work creditably, from all
accounts. In which respect they dify
fer refreshingly from some people
who cannot stand a little prominence
and prosperity. The smaller the man
or woman, the more uppish and cold,
haughty and exclusive do they be
come when they attain to high place.
It is the acid test which makes the
plcbian sou! haughty and cold and
exclusive and which makes more hu
man and approachable the souls of
real worth.

ADDITIONAL STATE HIGHWAY
BOND ISSUE MAY NOT EXCEED
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS.
Proposed 335,000,000 May Not be
Needed in Next Two Years—Bud
get Commission May Recommend
$10,000,000 a Yepr—Varser and
Doughton Give Views.
Raleigh, Jan. 2.—A twenty or twen.
ay-five miilion doiiar bond issue for
highways, instead of the widely ad
vertised thirty-five millions, may be
recommended to the General Assem
bly by the budget commission, it was
indicated this afternoon following a
conference between the commission
and Highway Chairman Frank Page.
Mr. Page, who has carefully avoid
ed, a public expression of his attitude
on the proposed thirty-five million
dollar issue, was asked by the budget
commission for an estimate of the
amount that could be reasonably ex
pended by his organization during the
next two years.
That the budget commission is dis
posed to recommend a smaller bond
issde'fn order to safeguard the state's
f&Sftion 'On the bond market was made
kn^Wn'here to the afternoon confer
ence by- Senator L. R. Varser, a mem
ber of the commission. <
Varser and Doughton. ' *
"It may be that the commission will
not need thirty-five millions more
during the next two years, and if it
should not, then the state should not
issue so large an omunt in bonds."
Senator Varser said, addiRg that to
confine the issue to present needs
would afford protection for North
Carolina's standing in the bond mar
ket.
A similar position was taken some
time ago by Revenue Commissioner R.
A. Doughton, who is directing the*
preparation of a revenue bill. Com
missioner Doughton advocated "go
ing forward with the road program"
tut pointed out that the amount of
the additional expenditure should be
based on a careful investigation of
present highway needs.
When the road building program
was launched in 1921, Highway Chair
man Frank Page and his associates
estimated that they could spend not
more than ten million dollars a year.
Favorable conditions for highway
building enabled them, once they got
their stride to double that estimate.
$80,000,000 Worth Built.
The estimated cost of roads and
bridges built or now under contract
in the state highway system was
placed by the highway commission
today at $80,047,113.
If the road builders find that they
can meet the state-wide demand for
What My Neighbor Says
Is of Intrust to Lumberton Folks.
When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
diziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney ills—and has found relief from
ali this sickness and suffering, that
person's advice is of untold value to
friends and neighbors. The following
case is only one of many thousands,
but it is that of a Lufnberton resident.
Who could ask for a better example ?
J. J. Ammons, prop- repair shop for
State Highway. Chippewa St., says:
"I was badly hurt, and after that, my
kidneys were bad. Mornings I felt
more tired than the night before. My
back just about killed me and I had
oains over my kidneys, too. My kid
neys acted irregularly and the secre
tions burned lik fire in passage. I got
Doan's Pills at Grantham Bros-' Drug
Stbre, and they did the work. I haven't;
hAdNt'ny further trouble."'

more roads, by expending ten mil
lions a year for the next two years.
Senator Varsar thinks, it would be
wise to restrict the bond issue to be
authorized by the new legislature to
20 millions. And the 1927 body could
add 15 millions more if at that time it
should be Hound that the full issue of!
35 miiiions wouid be necessary to i
wind up the program. t
The budget commission adjourned
its hearings today and wili not meet
again tiil Tuesday, January 13, six
days foilowing the convening of the
1925 General Assembly. It will then
begin the preparation of its report.
No Pruning Begun Yet.
The commission has not yet tack
led the job of pruning down the re
quests for appropriations. The mem
bers have not discussed that phase of
their work and no information is
available yet as to the amount *3f in
crease in appropriations expected to
be recommended. They first wilt
have to determine the amount of
bonded authorizations for permanent
improvements for each institutions as
the requested appropriations a?e bas
ed on anticipated needs in the event
tb? permanent 'improvements money
should be granted and .make possible,
further institMIHnd! 'Cx*pahki'on. -.w
The general expectation, however,
is that in its recommendations op new
bond issues, the commission will stick
pretty close td the three million dol
lars necessary to round out the sche
duled 20 million dollars six year pro
gram. Seventeen millions wore au
thorized by the 1921 and 1923 legis
latures as their part in pushing that
program.
Administration sentiment, as regis
tered by Governor Morrison, Secre
tary of State W. N. Everett, and oth
ers, favors that policy. The budget
commissioners, representing the legis
lature, are understood to be favorable
to it; and Governor-elect McLean is
reported as concurring. The institu
tions and departments are asking for
$17,500,000 more for permanent im
provements.
Budget Body Meets.
The budget members held their
first conference this—morning with
Revenue Commissioner R. A. Dough
ton. The revenue outiook was the
principal subject discussed.
Upon reconvening January 13 the
budget makers and Commissioner
Doughton will work together regu
larly in working out an appropria
tions HU and a revenue bill that will
fit. Whether the two bills will sjand
together depends upon the reception
they get from the legislators.—Brock
