SURRY PARKER SUGGESTS ROUTE FOR AUTO TRIP Urges That Friday's Trip be Taken to New Bern and Kinston Where Much Road Work Has Been Done Plnetown, N. C., Not. 30. 1916. Editor E-al y News, Washington. N. C. Dear sir: The writer Is very much interest ed in the proposed Improvements. to Ihe county roads in Washington township and f ols certain that when your township gels good roads the other townships will immediately fall In line and also have improved roads. I have had to travel by automo bile in several other counties during the past f w weeks and have noticed the work .that is being done In all of them and I wish to ca'.i the at tention of all who will go on the trip this Friday to what soems to mo to be the points where they will see tho work that will be of the greatest use to them In forming an opinion a? to what sort of road we ihall have in this county for>the first money we spend. My idea Is th~y should start early and go to New Bern via Bridgeton. Just this side of Bridgeton they will see a few miles of the greatest im provement mado on any road In this >ectlon. The worst sand In the Stato has been mad6 Into one of the very lest roads in the State during the iast 60 days using Lilllngton gravel. ? want them to see this to prove to ill who go that while It makes a jcautlful road the expense is too ;reat for Beaufort county yet. When his road Is completed the cost per nile will be $7100.00. This Is the nme sort of road as those around iavannah, Ga., that are so highly ^raised by a'.l road experts and a-d omobile racing drivers from Europe ind America. It Is g'*i road but :oo costly. We should see It and ue able to eliminate it from our present calculations. Then run on Into New Bern and )Ut two mil "6 on the Fort Barnwell oad end see some more of this road vith the broken stone and *'Tarvia" ?oatlng applied. Then look over the >Id U. S. Government shell-rock oad to th* National cemetery ar.d hen to lunch at the Gaston, the ea'.ly only good place that will be landy about noon. After luncheon, which should bo :r.lihed by one o'clock take the Fort arnwcll road to Fort Barnwell, 25 li'es over the most practical road e can expect to get at this time in 'lis county. This road Of 25 miles in te made in 45 minutes without r.y hurry or nay In one hour easily >r all cars. This read cost $2.r?0 to SCO per m'.'e after running off of "an Mll'rgton gravel road with Tprvla" topp'ng. It was built it ly with convict labor and a few cod road tools and is the very best 'ece of road of 25 mile length In "'lis section of the State and I have nought a Rreat m^.ny times in going 'ver this road how happy It wou'd nake all of our peopl" If *? could a;et such a road in this county. Wo ME (.TING OF BOOK CLUBS ON TOMORROW \ddlsco, O. Henry and Cre?rlta Clubs to Hold Regular Meetings. Hostess** Announced. The three book clubs of the city vlll hold their regular meetings to norrow afternoon, the followlnR tn ouneoments being glreo out this nornlnf : Addlsco <Xub. , Will meet at th? boms of MIks Sadie Wlswa:i at four o'clock, with \frs. Law son as hostess. Crwrltf Club. Will meet at the homo of Mrs. K. S. Simmons on East Main street, with Mrs. C. B. Bell and Mrs. W. L. Vaughan as hosteffses O. Henry Club. Will meet at 3:80 o'clock at tho can have every road leading out ofi Washington to ths township line In thia ehapo after .baying the neces Miry road machinery and t am with the proposed bond* issue and evon make the roads aegr Washington in a somewhat mora' expensive com pleten as at double' the cost for say three miles on each main road aud a till ba wall within the limit. After (saving FArt Barnwell go lo K.nston over soma old time Beau fort county road jutt about th^ same as we are now uaingl From Klnston go to Hookerton. in Green county, live miles thia aide oT Hookerton you will gat on th? vary beat Ave miles of road in any oounty around hare. It is Just being built' sow, fire miles completed In one road leading di rectly into Hookerton, and three miles In another direction. Thia road is a higher grado of mixing of the material than the other and cost about $700 par mile but the same road can ba. built here for $4 00 to $600 per mHe because we have the swamps already graded and fllled aud bridged while they are doing a'-l of this work In connection with the present road improvement running the cost up to the figure named. You : should certainly see this road; It is' a groat road. Mado where a for, months ago the 6and wis almost im passible at all times. From Hookerton go to Snow Hill, six miles, and get on anouher goad road to FaTmvillc; then frr?m Farm vll'.e to Greenville to th? Proctor liotel for supper; then home. Over the bridge you will strike Uvo milos more of strictly good road and lb* balance fair dirt road to Washlng ? on via Pactolus. The main thing to see in my mind is the good roads of two grades ? jne extremely high, the other within our roach, ne^r New Bern. Then the Fort Barnwell road and the Hook erton roads, ?oth of gvSat interest :o us at this time. The Hookerton oad is now In conrso of construc tion. The extension of tho Fort tarnwell road is a'so under con duction using about 40 convicts ?vhlch are at this time working ibout a mile fr6m Fort Barnwell on he Oak Bridge road and by the way .his is the better way to go to K:? iton. You will in going thia way ?a33 teh placo called Tower Hill, he capital of North Caro'lna from '.758 to 1762. A granite monument will be seen Immediately alongside ?i the road showing thia spot at a olnt five m'.les from Klnston on tb - "}ak Bridge road. You will also se work being done near this monu'men n Lenoir county. They or* using i heavy truck to pull tha -road ma chinery such air drags an?J scrapers. It might be bettor to l ave early ?>nough to get dinner In Klnston to enable you to cover the route bet ter. With kindest wishes, 8. PARKER.
