J. D. GRDQH MAKES EX
AID ROAD WORK
thM Reafckmia Report Oga
dlUoo of Roads to All Pvti
of du County.
A "Good Roads Association/'
composed of interested parties In.
Washington and outlying districts,
Including ?very part of the county,
I? the suggestion of J. D. Grimes, of
thla city, as an aid to the general
improvement of the road? In the'
county. Mr. Grimes views on tho
matter ane as follows:
"There is no question but that
our roads In the county need im
proving, and I believe that every
realdent ought to do his utmost in
lending all the aaalstance he can In
putting t be roads In flr?t-cla?m shape
I believe that the forming of an as
sociation, having for its object the
betterment of Beaufort county roads,
would be an incentive for added in-,
terest In the work and would sol
much good along thia line.
?* "It would not Jbe necessary to [
have any regular ^association at first
Let each person in the county, who
1? interested in improving the roads, I
consider himself a member of the
association. Further steps of organ
Iratton may be taken at a labor date.
But a eocretary should be elected
and all members of the association
should make it a point to report to
him the condition of the different
roada they may happen to traverse
throughout the week. Then I would
suggest that the aecretary send these
notes in to the Dally News and that
the paper publish thrcn. In this way
the people could be kept Informed
a? to the general shape of the road*
a?d the road commissioners In the
d'ffarMRt ^atrleu would the^
necessity of taking some a&foa In
Improving the reads which are un
der their jurisdiction.
"It seems to me that this *ouUi
be of material assistance to the
good roads agitation and it would
show that everyone? is Interested In
the betterment of the roads."
"I understand that Greenville Is
going to do considerable work to
the roads 'n Pitt county In order to
Induce as many of the farmers, llv
Ing U'tween here and that city, to
tako their tobacco .there. New Bern
is also agitating good roads. There
arc a large number of fawners, who
caA haul their tobaco6^to either
Greenville. Nsnr Bern or Washlnp
tbn and their action will be largo'y
influenced by the oondltion of the
roads. If "Washington hopes to have
a large tobapo market this year,
it is thne that we did all In o^r
power to lmprovie the roads In our

Mrs. M. E. Giles, president of the ,

Just attended a liquor trial, along
with a delegation from the union

resulted In a hung Jury.
"History traches that when the

their downfall. There Is no history

said. "but. If I attend piany more 5
