MEETINC OF COMMISSIONERS
Laige Number Expected to Appear Before the Board in
Interest of Red Hill Road Project.
J I In order to bring together a large,
amber of prominent citizens frorn^
every part of the county before the
board of commissioners at their
meeting Monday, many letters have
been sent out by the Washington
Township Good Road* Association,
urging attendance at the meeting In
the interest of the Red Hill road.
These letters are on'.y being sent to
the rural districts. It is expected
thtft all of the people In Washing
ton, who desire to see thia road
built, w4U be. present. The loiters
read as follows:
Dear Sir:
You are perhaps fami'.Iar with the
effort that is being made on the part
uf the citizens of Washington and
C'hocowinity Townships to improve
the condition -of what |< known ?r
the "Red Hill" roa?:, leading from j
Washington to Chocowinlty. As you
know, this is perhaps the most im
portant piepe of road in Beaufort
county, it being the only avenue of
H.pp'r6ach to the city of Washington
frqm the south side of the river and
the only means by which citizens yf(
Richland and Chocowinlty townships
and Craven. Pitt, Pamlico, and other)
neighboring counties can get to
Washington to bring produce, trans
act business or for any other pur- .
pose.
At the Fame time. It Is a matter of
common knowledge, that thia roftd
bed Is In perhaps the worst condi
tion, If such a thing be possible, of
any-plece of road in the county; and
wo know of no method or means
whereby same wilT ever be improved
un'ess the plan, which we have
mapped out I? practicable, and can

W. C. T. U. PRIZE
JndffM Have Drridod Vpon Beti

t lie Winner Tomorrow.
The local branch of the W. C. T.
U. has made a practice, during the
last few years, of giving a prlxo at
each county commencement to that
child in the county schools who sub
mits the best essay, of their compo
sition end In them own handwriting
on some subject relating to the tem
porance cause.
The subject this year was *'The
Effects of Alcohol on the Body." The
various papers were examined first
by a sub-committee and all but the
three best were eliminated. These
three were submitted to the Judges,
E. L. Stewart, F. H. Bryan and E.
A. Daniel, Jr., who passed upon them
and selected the one which, In their
opinion, possessed the greatest de
gree of merit. The winner will be
announced at the commencement ex
ercise? tomorrow.
The three papers were those of
Georgia MalllAgn, first year high
school; Llssle Lillian Cox, ?th grade

We are going to attempt to enlist
the support and co-operation of a
large number of prominent, progres
sive, and public spirited citizens in
-upper! of the project, and It is for
this purpose that we are appealing
to you. 'We believe that the cttixens
qf Beaufort 03unty as a who'.e are
falr-mlpded, and public spirited
enough to bo willing to assist us In
tho successful working out of our
p an, rogardles ?of what section of
the county they happen to live In,
and whether or not the road Is di
rectly used by them.
We are going to try and assemble
a large delegation of prominent citi
zens at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms In Washington op next Mon
day, April 3, 1016, at 11 o'clock a
:r.. -*??* -.nrpose of going before
Board uf County Commissioners,
and get as much financial help from
them as possible. The extent to
which they will be willing to help
us, will depend almost entirely upon
the degree of enthusiasm manifested
by the citizens and tax payers of the
county as a whole In the proposi
tion.
Will you not therefore endeavor to
arrunge to be present at that time,
and go w'.th us before the Board of
County Commissioners and lend your
assistance and co-operation in this
respect, and bring ?fl many of your
neighbors and friends with you. as
you can induce to rome?
We will be g ad to help you out
on any similar proposition whenever
the opportunity presents Itself.
Very truly yours,
