GOOD ROADS.
The survey for a new road
from Gloucester to Cherryfield
station was completed last week,
and we are informed that the
money has been raised to build
the road. The survey has a max
imum grade of 6 per cent., and
when completed will be the best
mountain road in the county, and
will be the most important fac
tor in building a town at Cherry
tield.
The survey starts at the Gallo
way ford, nearly a mile above the
bridge over the North Fork^ and
will bring all the travel which
has heretofore been on both
branches of the Allen hill outlet
from Gloucester, and will do
away with the Allen hill road en
tirely, except so far as it is kept
up by individuals. The new sur
vey is 3f miles from starting
point to Double Spring Gap, and
3 miles and 40 feet from Double
Spring to Cherryfield station,
and the steepest grade on it is
6 per cent.
The survey was made by H. C.
Bailey, and he has been painstak
ing and careful, avoiding rock
cliffs and other costly construc
tion, and he assures us that at no
point on the road will blasting be
required unless rock is uncov
ered by grading. This offers a
better road out of Gloucester
than we had ever thought possi
ble, and if it is not built the peo
pie of-that section will have only
themselves to blame.
Good roads are civilizers, and
Gloucester will reap untold bene
fits from this connecting link
with the business world. _ It
doesn’t matter who the prime
movers in this enterprise are,
they have begun right—by em
ploying a surveyor and locating
the road where the grade carried
it. There is no guess work, and
every day’s wwk put on it is
there to stay—no amendments of
grade will ever be required.
When our mountain people learn
to quit guessing and start with a
surveyor’s compass there will be
an end to the amending of moun
tain roads.
But the best survey helps no
body unless the road is built^and
kept in repair. Money to build
with must be found in the sec-
tio.is benefited, as the county
can only receive and keep up the
road after its construction. We
are informed that the money to
build the Gloucester road—some
thing like $900—has been raised
by private subscription, and that
i
work will be begun at an early
date. The people from Cherry
field to Gloucester are in earnest
and mean business, and have
gone to work the right way to
succeed. They are not selling
bonds, nor w^aiting for some
wealthy syndicate, but have gone
down into their own pockets in
the interest of the public. Where
such determination exists there
is no such thing as failure.
We shall be glad to see other
sections following the example,
as good roads will add to the
value of every acre of land in
the territory reached by them.

According to a Winnsboro
physician pellagra is caused by
eating “nog meat, fats and their
extracts that become rancid be*
fore*or after being taken in the
stomach”—another blow in a vita
spot to editors and niggers.i
With both corn broad and bacon
tabooed, there’s nothing left for
us poor devils to do but to starve
and proceed to climb the goldlin
stairs or else go where we’ll at
least escape the heavy tax the
new tariff law places on brim
stone.—Lancaster, S. C., News.
Fight to Death in Fashfohabie Chf-
cago Apartments.
Chicago.—Mrs. Julian Tripp is dea:3
and Mrs. Jacbb Silvers, of New York,
was fatally wounded as the result ot
a pistol and knlfei battle between tiie
two women in Mrs. Tiipp’s apart
ments in a fashionable residence dis
trict of this city. Mrs. ^aUers is a
sister-in-law of Mrs. Tripp. It i?
Baid her husband left her about three
months ago because of her curious
actions. Mrs. Tripp is the wife of a
superintendent of a manufacturing
firm of this city.
There ia considerable mystery sur
rounding the tragedy, though it i:*
thought domestic quarrels led to the
unfortunate affair.
The police are inclined to believe
that there was a third party in the
tragedy, and are working on that
theory.

Whereas, 43 counties in this state
have such associations and their
Sunday Schools are profiting by
conventions and institutes, de
veloping Christian fellowship and
larger growth and better meth
ods in Bible instruction and sonl
winning.
Now, therefore, we, the under
signed citizens of Transylvania
county and Sunday School Work
ers, confident that our schools need
improving, confident that new
schools are needed, confident that
new workers will be discovered
and present workers better fitted
for their duties, do hereby call a
convention of officers, teachers and
older pupils of all Sunday schools
in this county to meet in the Bap
tist church in Brevard, on Satur
day, the 13th day of November,
1909, to hear papers on important'
topics, to confer tegether touching
otu* several problems and, if it is
deemed best, to organize a county
Sunday School Association for con
tinuing the work.
And we suggest that each school
send three delegates to this first
convention.
Signed by many citizens.
