J AlfES L MAYO ...*? : Pbopkibto* CARL GOERCH Bsky6s WASHINGTON. NORTH CAROLINA, SEPT. 15, 1916. MOKK ABOUT TIIK ROAD WORK. The "I ToM-Vou-So" brigade has begun its work! We refer to tl?>*o who opposed the $50,000 bond issue when the good road* cam pa ipi wjw in pn>grc*s, and who art? now gleefully coming to fhe front witlh tlie attrition that "they had known all the time that fho money would l?e wasted.'* The DaiK* News played an ini|K>rtant part in that campaign. Som< of our friends have been kind enough t?> nay that it was due to our efforts that the issue earned. Be that as it may, all we can pay is that we feel proud of tfie part we played in that campaign, and for the tftand vfe took in the matter. And we hplieve that if the issue! was brought up RIGHT NOW for a vote, tftie u umber of prr^gressive citizens in the township w?-uld lie large enough to carrj' it again. We don't Mieve that there is any man. who voted for the |50,00() bond] is>ue. who regrets his vote. In our opinion, that was one of the most progressive steps that was ever taken iti Beaufort county and we hope that similar bond issues will In* passed in the other township* before long. But to get bock to the "I-told-yott-so" brigade. They are now try ing to show that the voting of the bonds was a big mistake. It WAS.] NOT! They are saying that the entire $50,000 will l>e wasted, without any material results Wing achieved. THAT IS AN ER ROR! They are upholding their attitude in voting against the bend is*ue. We believe that they will change their views after the work has I teen completed. Some few days ago. we |Mtblished a rather lengthy criticism of the <*>st of rhe work and the manner in which a certain piece of it was d<>ne. 1'his was done in the best of faitlh. We believe that it is our duty to call aYtentioh to any apparent mistakes in the work, just a> much as we considered it our duty to support the bond issue. 'ITierc was no intention of "knocking" the work or the men who have charge of the work. When occasion arises.- and wo feel thai something should be said, we 'will do so again. We have our views on the matter, and. then* may not always coincide with tiliose held bv other person* In tilie present incident, we lieliovc that rb*> ' .%rt*ping a cjom'j *>...*?? wn mic .. ....^ iii co-operation with each other. And. in conclusion, we want to say ajrain that we will never regret the passing of the $50,000 bond issue, and we hope that tlbose persons, who have Iteen opposing Okie work of progress in the county for no Bound and logical reason, will change their views in the matter. No offense can bo taken by the R?>ad Commission, we feel sure, over crit icism tiiat is well meant, but to KNOCK the work and KNOCK the passing of rhe bond issue? Hhat's an entirely different proposition. BRA IX, BKAWX ANT) OTHER THINGS. Thorr appeared a atorv in this week's Saturday Evening Post which opened up in a rnfhfl" intonating way anil affords some food for rthoupht and reflection. We reprint: H rains are great thinps to have, and many'* the time T've wished I had a sot of 'em in my head, instead of jnst plain l?>ue! Still, there's a lot of puyw that have pone through life, like a vepg pi*** throuph a safe, and taken everythinp ? nit of it that wasn't nailed, with noflhin' on their head but hair! A pollepe provident pot* five thousand a year, a pood lipht weipht l>oxer will grab that inn eh a fight.. A schoolteacher draps down fifteen a w<*?k, and the guy that b>oks after the lioilers in the school buildin' gets tihirtv! Don't got di scon raped if the pride of (lie family pet* thrnwed out, of school U-eausc he tliinkn twice two is eight een and geography is played with net*! The chances arp. very bright that yonnp Stupid will lie holdiir tihe sterrin' wlirol of his own Easy Eight wk?n*the guvs who won all the rrw*k medals for pronnd and loftv learnin' will l>e won derin' why a p?*kI ltookkoopor never pets more than twenty^ five a week. And then if he feels lie's pot to have hrains around him. now that lie's grabhed the other half of the tem ? money-? he ean go downtown and buy all the brains he wants for eiphteen dollars a week ! Come to think of it, the fellow wtoo wrtoe that little piece wasn't1 far from wrong. was he? And it only g?*p>s to show t-hatJU takes all kimls of men to make up the world. Some pet. paid for some-' things and othorv gj>t paid for something else. The man w?ho pulls down $5,000 for his share of a prize fight, conldn't earn two cents a year mm the head of a college. And the col lope professor, who pets **.000 a year for his learninp, couldn't earn. ten cents as a prizo Kphter. ft just gr>es to show that when tlhe Tx>rd put us into this world, he had something for evervone of us to do ? and those who can't do one. thinp. ean turn their brain or tiheir brawn to something else. In the long run, however, we believe that if the life earninps ?*f the average man, who has no education, are compared with those of t.he man who doe* have one, it will be found that the latter has made the best showing. REGARDING SEWER WORj?? Superintendent fl. B. nharlea, replying to a statement r*^arding some work tftiat was being done on RospoMi street, today made the statement that the new sewer that is being pnt down, above the old one, is not a sanitary sewer, bnt is merely a drain pipe, Or ttofm ntfwnr, for -Imlnin* th? street*, WOULDN'T TAKE BEST FARH FOR TMAITS GOOD Declare* Prmsln? t Ronl Hmm ftJ Telling How He Mid #lfe An Happy Again. "The little money I spent- for Tan lac is not a drop in the backet coot* pared to the amount of doctor's bUl* X paid aa* as far aa the good Ten iae has done both me and my wife. 1 wouldn't take the best farm In North Carolina in return for It," de clared W.

"Only those suffering from stom ach trouble snd indigestion Mow what my wife and I went- through for years, especially after, falling to fain relief from doctors and having lots of good food around without be ing able to eat It ror fear of Mrrible j after effects. But now Mrs. Jones 'and I are happy for we are able, I thanks to Tanlac. to enjoy hearty meals and refreshing sleep, and gain iu strength and flesh."
