Darlne the bad weather of !ast
month the roads in many' sections of
Adbod were almost impassible. Thh
condition is liable, and likely, to re
cur at any time there is a rainy spell.
There is an inexpensive and, from alt
reports, a sure way of keeping our
roads in splendid condition. Per
sons who have traveled over sections
of road, worked by Messrs. W. S.
Watklns and P. L. flough with their
drags, on mail rout No. 3 out of
Vadesboro, report that the road is so
greatly improved that it is bard to
believe that only a drag was used in
working it Mr. A. S. P. Smith,
carrier on this rout, has a communi
cation in this issue of the Messlnger
and Intelligencer, commending the
splendid work done by the road
drag which should be read by every
person in the county interested in bet-.
, ' ter roads.
By the way, would it not be a good
idea for the board of county commis
sioners to authorize the making o t
drags to be placed in the hands "of
road overseers in the county. We aie
informed that they cost very little
and are not difficult to use. If the
. drag'will do half as well as those who
have seen it work say It will one
hundred times the amount of money
. they would cost could not be spent
to better advantage.

CAUSE OF TRAGEDY.
The triple tragedy was the result
of an altercation between Bethea.
who was a passenger, and Williams,
the porter in the pullman parlor car,
Mercury. The car was bound from
Washington to Jersey City.
Bethen, who had been drinking
heavily, shot the porter through the
heart, killing him instantly. When
Conductor Wellman saw the porter
fall be ran to the scene to remonstrate
with the passenger, who still held the
smoking (revolver in bis hand, Be
thea fired a second shot into the ne
gro's body. Then without a word
Bethea shot Wellman through the
heart.
The ' conductor fell dead in his
tracks. When the desperado fired
the conductor threw up his right
arm to protect himself. The bullet
struck his arm and enntinninp nlnor

Before the Dasseneers-could inter.

himself in the toilet room .ot the
Pullman car : and threatend to kill
the first one who approached. -
Meanwhile t.he train reached Wil
mington. When it come into the
station a hurry call was sent to the
police station and a squad of patrol
raen headed by Captains Kane and
Evans and reenforced by park guards
and a pussee of citizens and train
men ran to the scene.
Several of the doI icemen had armed
themselves with shot guns, and, just
as Bethea fired the last shot, Police
Captain Evans fired a load of Hhot
into his face. Fotwithstanding this
injury, he kept blazing away. Pa
trolman Boughman opened fire with
a piatol and struck Bethea in the right
arm. The desperate man tried to
fire again, but Sergeant Kelleher
opened fire and also managed to
spring upon Bethea. When the po
lice took hold of him he fell dead in
the arms of a patrolman.

Just why every road overseer in
the county does not nse a road drag
raworklng the roads is strange to me.
One can be made at practically do ex
pense. Surely they do not know the
real benefit they are in working the
roads, or they would hot work the
roads - without one." Everybody
knows what a deplorable condition
the roads of the county have been In
for the last six months. In some
places almost impassible; such was
the condition of the roads over which
I had to take the mails. Just to
give you some idea of what can be
done with the drag, I will give you a
little ot my experience.
Near the home of Mr. J. E. Gray
was a piece of road 800 yards long
so bad that I had to take to the fields
and woods to get along. On Wednes
day last I met Mr. W. S. Watklns
with his team and road drag just be
yond that bad place. Mr. Watklns
told me that he was going to fix the
road so that I could pass over it in a
trot the next day, and while I knew
the drag would do wonderful work, 1
doubted if it could be done, the road
was so very bad. But sure enough.
next day the road was so smooth and
nice I went over it in a fast trot with
comparative ease. In fact some parts
of the road would be a credit to the
streets of Wadesboro, and to my own
knowledge no work has been done
only with the drag. No one who has
not tried the drag or seen one at
work, has but a faint idea the good
one will do when properly managed.
Mr. P. L. Hough has one that
he; tried for the first time on
his road and it did wonderful
work. He says he can do more and
better work with his iteam and drag
than he could with fifty negroes in
the old way. There are others who
are making drags on my route that
means better roads for me.
Every section of road in the coun
ty should have one of these drags,
even if the county has to pay for it.
Compulsion, by the county, to use
the drags in working the roads ought
to be enforced, at least every three
months.
