Dear Sir:?My attention has boon called to an artiolo published over your signature in your paper yesterday. 1 refuse to be drawn ih a news paper controversy, but I 'desire to briefly let both you and the people know my position. Tou say that 1 am In favor of abolishing the Washington Recorders Court; that 1 am In favor of consolidating the'Bath /and Bel haven Courts; and thad -auh. opposed to good roads. 1 am In favor of restoring the original Jurisdiction to every recorders oourt in Beaufort county; 1 am opposed to a consolidation of the Bath and Belhaven courts, unless the people of Bath township as a unit desire It; and I have always been In favor of good roads. I am everlastingly opposed to the present absurd road law of Washington, Long Acre and Chocowinlty townships. For fear you might labor under a delusion, I will state frankly why I am against you. On March 13th, 1914. in sn editorial In tout I paper, you said among other things, that yon hoped to see the day when the Republican or Progressive vote In Beaufort county and the city of Washington would be so close to the Democratic vote that no one would know who won In an election until j^fter the vote vsb counted. After publishing that broadcast, you come now and aslc the Democratic party to bestow an honor on you. I think that only your nomination would cause the very thing you hope to ??e. I am against you because I do not think you are capable or lit'to serve all of the people of Beaufort oounty. ^ am. Yours truly, * LINDSAY C.

All In all it was a decided improvement on last week. Judging from the list of bills that the; will present this week, it will be better all the way through.

WILL ADD 00 MILES Cleveland, Ohio, June 16.?Cuyahoga county will add sixty miles of rural brick road to its 400 miles of similar pavement, according to the 1914 road improvement plans announced by County Enlgneer Stlnchcomb, thus strengthening Its distinction of being the best paved rural district of any similar area In the world. A minimum width of 16 feet has been adopted for roads to be laid during the coming summer and the entire expenditure, Including fills, bridges, etc., will be somewhat In excess of $900,000. The adaptability of brick to rural roads was first proved In Cuyahoga county and the policy of building for permanence was adopted here even before automobile traffic drove other localities to copy similar construction. Cuyahoga conn ty has expended more than eight million dollars in this type of roaC and the repair bills have amounts* to practically nothing. A perfect system of radiatlnf highways now extend to the count] line in every directlo. and the tasl which Engineer Stlnchcomb has out lined is that of connecting these mail arteries with suitable cross roa<U In spite of the cost, the county 1 money ahead, according to count: officials, for the increase In taxabi rural land values bee yielded mor than the total oost in revenue.

The First Methodist Church Sonday 8ohool Is today picnicking at the Washington Park. The pupils of the school went to the park via automobiles and vehicles. Quite a number are present and the d*y Is being greatly enjoyed. MOTORING EXPENSE 18 COMING DOWN. ' That sales conditions in the automobile field have been widely affected by the recent cuts in the price of gasoline, oil, tires, and other supplies is the declaration of Vice-President E. R. Benson of the 8tudebaker Corporation, who says that many recent Studebaker buyers are persona who have heretofore remained out of the market, due to their former belief that maintenance expense was greater than they could afford. "Z had this Increased efficiency brought home to me quite forcibly by a personal friend." aald Mr. Benson. "This man owned a heavy, costly car last year. He decided that the cost of maintenance was too high, and changed last winter to a Studebaker light 'Six.' "Of course, the change resulted In a greatly Increased mileage for each gallon of fuel. This saving was rendered all the more emphatic by the fact that he is now paying twelve cents per gallon for gasollno Instead of twenty?this due to the general lowering of price which has featured the gasoline business all over the country. "Though he has not yet bought 1 any new tires, and expects to get mueh more than the guaranteed mile age out of his present set, he knows that, when the occasion arises, he can secure tires for his Studebaker ' 'Six' at less than half the cost of - those he bought for his last year's I car. ' "A satisfactory grade of lubrlcat Ing oil can be bought for twenty five per cent less than he paid * t year ago. and goes infinitely further I In supplying the needs of his car. I "And a feature of which be is not yet aware Is the lowered cost of t winter overhauling, adjustment and f possible Installation of repairs. * "His Studebaker 'Six' Is so de signed that the owner himself, If II be chooses, can take down any unit ^ needing adjustment. If he has the] * work done at a garage, this merit lsj y Jnst as strong, as the amount of la bor Involved Is comparatively small, delivery la. prompt, and the bUl l? * accordingly reasonable. a "The 'proepectlve mojoris* ^who T may here had acquaintance with a >*#arage man's delight' will be asuas* ed at the efficiency and economical record of a car of the StuffeBaker light 'Six' class.

No details of the asnaltles of the present battle hare ?een received here. General Venustlano Carransa haa eased an order to obrlate the con- ' uolon caused by refusal of persona n some siaies 10 accept u legal ten-? ler money issued In other states, rhe order provides that money lsined la any state must be accepted In jvery other state under Constltulonal control. General Villlareal, Governor of Nuevo Leon, has Issued an order In Monterey that no one shall be allowed to hold corn for high prices ar store it and also that no price greater than five cents a liter shall "'J . - '* >? charged for It. It Is believed here this order -will have the effect of relieving the food scarcity in that state. A statement that the family of Oustav pauch. killed in Chlhahaahau, would receive $26,000 from the Constitutionalist was denied by oN flclals here. The commission headed by General Fraustro appointed to Investigate the Benton and Bauch cases will go immediately to Chihuahua and Jaures to take evidence The commission has been Instructed to expedite the Investigation. General Jesus Cmrransa, brother of the first chief, and Governor V!tlareal, of Nuevo Leon, spent part of today in conference with General Carranza. General Gonzales is expected id return here shortly from Montery with the remainder of his forces ex| cept a small garrison left to hold the city.
