It has been hinted that most of the candidates sort of neg lected tlteir campaigns' during that big offer. As a straight tip and a piece of kindly advice from the Contest Man ager, do pot neglect YOUR campaign doting t!)i? offer, not even for a sin gle day. There are several good reAsotts frhy you should exert your supreme pffort during this time. The first reason is because the race is extremely close and Just a few strong puile will place you In .Advance of yonr opponents. It now is evident that the winning of the sig big trips won't be a hard task. We divulge no secret when we aay that no candidate has gained a fttMtalUal lead in her district. A good we^k of lmrd work will onab'e alptost Apy one of the contestants to outfttrlp h?r d'strlct mombers and take first plice. The pfi<es are too attractive and tho racc too close to permit the lack of a little *nergy to keep you from succes.i.

Wilson county also hfte a road tax of 20 cents, giving them a revenue of about ^40,000 a year for road purposes. After leaving Beaufort county, Mr. Han I els said, the party passed over only twelve miles of what might 4>e considered poor roads. Otherwise the roads were in the best of condl i tlon.

He remark ed that the' people of the township! had voted for the Improvement of the i roads of the : township and that 1( i would hardly be fair to build five or six miles of (first-class roads and then leave the rest. of the highways in their present unimproved condi tion. Referring to the method of road building, Mr. Daniel said that the contract plan had been used almost entirely in Greene county, that PJtt tried to do the work themselves, bat found that it cost to>o much and nnd to let out contracts, that Wilson county had a competent road engi neer to superintend all of the work and that the people of Halifax also did the work themselves. The party covered about 300 miles on their trip, which was made with out accident of any kind. They av eraged 25 miles an hour for the en tire running time on the Journey.
