«■" —- SYSTEMIZE ROAD WORK, Road Commissioners Appoint a Purchasing Agent and Ap- - point Air, Harmon Gen eral Superintendent* The Chatham county road commis sioners were in regular monthly ses sion on Monday, April 18th and in ad dition to regular routine business, transacted some important business. Among the business transacted was an order tending to systematize the business and management of the highway road work in Chatham coun ty, and maintaining the department on a business basis. It was ordered that one or more of the best No. 80 tractors and one of a standard road machine be purchas ed to maintain the roads that have already been built, as well as con struct new roads. Another order of merit was that J. W. Harmon be made general su perintendent, without interfering with other duties, and without advance in salary. It was also ordered that C. C. Hamlet, the secretary, be made purchasing agent for the highway de partment of the cot&ty. It was also decided that Alfred Johnson, is building roads by contract with hired labor, employ his help at so much per diem, maintain ing a boarding house for his help, separate from the highway accounts, and the force will be paid individually from the board of highway commis sioners. Heretofore there has been much complaint as to this pay roll. In this neworder of things it will be clearly visible to the general public and the tax payers in general just what the money is spent for'and leave no room for suspicion or complaint. The same rule applies to the pur chasing department. In the new meth od all purchases for the highway will be over orders from the purchasing agent.

Mr. Brown has been with The Record for the larger part of fourteen years and has written much “copy” for its columns, besides doing at times . much, or all, of the mechanical work. But with the present business ar rangement of The Record it was not practicable to retain his services, and as he had work ‘ offered at another place, the long connection with The Record hase been broken. May he prosper and his shadow never ,grow less. “IStour dress. • ► Stein Brothers Make Special Bid For Chatham Trade.

Progressive Farmer. % - What is more beautiful at this sea son of year than boughs of blossom ing dogwood outlined as white trac eries against bare brown hillsides or the tender green of new leaves? And dogwood is little less attractive in the fall, with its flaming leaves and ber ries. It is a flowering shrub that should be in every Southern dooryard, and now when we have been newly reminded of its beauty, is an excellent time to select and mark a small tree to transplant next fall. Select a seed ling, not a sprout from an old stump, and prune it now to the shape you desire. Ts you wish to be more sure of success in transplanting next winter, dig a small circular trench about 24 inches in diameter around the trunk, : rutting the roots. These severed roots will put out a large number of branches, and the young tree may be taken up next fall with all its roots and with an excellent prospect for success in transplanting.
