Cumberland county, through the action cf her ioard of cuj jmiioners, has expressed her wi'ngness to join hands with her sister counties ta compete the "capital-to-capital highway" en condition that this highway j as throyarh tne courty ana through Fayetteville. coming from Raleigh, through Harnett, down on the east side of the Cape Fear river to the New Clarendon bridge, across this bridge.through the city, ovcrHayrnouut, through Seventy-First township and along the line of the old plank road to the Moore county line, to South err, Vines and Pmekurst and ther.ee southward. J f this route shall be adopted ty the "Capital Highway Asso ciation," of which Mr. Ieonard Tufts, owner of Pweburst, is the princijl spirit, Cumberland will at owe set about completing the line from Fayetteville to Pine hurst, by rr.ak.intf a f.rst-class sand-flay road of the plank road from here to the Moore county line. All hut about eleven miles of this road hi already complete, and the county will at once put a force ct free lalor. under the supervi sion of Mr. P. P. J?aker, on this eleven miles to complete it as sx-n as practicable. While no estimate of the cost is made pub lic by the commissioners it is es timated bv others that the cost vf the eleven or twelve miles of road to complete the streteb wilj U- somewhere between $oWl and .ihj. Good road already extendi for a considerable dis tance toward Fayetteville from Southern Fines. This is the result of a hearing given by the county commission er yesterday, the second day of the regular fet-ember meeting, to a committee of citizens on the proportion "to make Fayetteville and Cumberland county an inte gral part of the 'Capital tt Capi tal Highway Association,' "which is promoting the plan ultimately to perfect a highway from north to south across the state. The association was represented at the hearing by Mr. Frank Wei ilon, secretary, who came here Monday for the purpose. After lie had laid his proposition before the hoard, asking that they take steps at once to complete the link necessary to make a first class road from hereto Pinehurst, Mr, F. l Hose, who had intro duced him, called upon represent ative citizens present to express themselves. Messrs. W. U Holt, J. 0. El lington. F. H. Cotton, A. U Mc CasUH. V. S. Cook. V. C Rul-i lard, John Underwood, Frank 11. Stetlman and W. F. F.bunt made speeches endorsing the proposi tion and urging the commission ers to take immediate action. Then the commissioners adapt ed a reflation or order that the loard retain the services of P. P. Raker to work free labor on the Yadkin (plank) road leading to the Moore county line, if this road is decided on as part of the Capital Highway route. The route propood, and which Mr. Wtldon says wilt be adopted, w from Pinehurst to Fayetteville, and from Fayetteville over Clar endon bridge, through Harnett via Duke, to Raleigh, and thence on to Washington. Another important order of the board in connection with the road work of the county was was passed Monday. Thi-i order consolidates the two convict forc es and places the larger force in charge of Superintendent R. M,. Wise. As soon as the force com pletes the road from Liberty Point to the river it will b$ transferred to Clue's sand bill in the eastern part of the county, where it w perhaps needed worse than any To Vote Lav January 15 where else. On January L5, 1119. three elections are to be held in Cum ! berland county on the question of stock law. These election were called by the commissioners at 'their meeting this week in re sponse to petitions signed by at least one-fifth of the qualify! vo . ters in each of the several dis tricts. One of the districts era braces ortion of RockfLsb town- J sup. another a portion of fceven- ty-First and another a portion of I Carver's Creek. A large delegation from Seven- ty-First was present to urge the .calling t,f the election. This proposed territory com mences at a point where the present fence crosses the 7fit hne pear the Pearce place, and extends with said line to Little lKkfish, thence to Galatia church, thence by N. li. Und say's, thence south including Jr. liay's farm, to tlje Haeford and xrktish road, thence with north west edge of sai l road U Paeford toik law fence, thence with said fence to Parker's gate crossing plank road at 16 nuie post, and north crossing1 Puppy crek, to $outh edge ef Morganton ro&i, east to Cross Crock fence at Chas. Odom's, and thence to the begin ning." Another petition from "1st was filed embracing above territory and that part of the township ly ing near liockfish depot, to Kob eson county line; a separate elec tion was ordered for that portion of the boundaries not included in the first petition. The petition for election on stock law or no stock law in cer tain territory in RockMsh town ship signed by one-fifth of the qualified voters of said territory was allowetl and the election or dered for January loth, 1910. The proposed new territory embraces nearly all of Kockfish township and a small portion of "1st ana Pearce's Mill townships. If the election is carried the gates across the Fumberton Itoad will be abolished. The petition for election for stock law or no stock law in cer tain ttrritory of Carver's Creek, signed by one-fifth of the quali fied voters, was allowed, and the election ordered on January 15, 1110. The proposed new territo ry, w hich begins on the west side of the llaleigh plank road, in cludes the residence of J. D.War ner, Eureka Springs and lake wood.

Vhat The Wotld is Doing This Week War With Nicaragua Seems Im minent Conoress Again in Session Numerous Conven tions. ShVi we lave war with the MnaU Central American "repub lic" oi Nicaragua? Uncle Sam's ships and soldiers are lined up on either hide of the little country ready to irive the kid a spanking if he does'm. "be gwd." I-'t weti Secretary of State Knox rianued f Nicaragua representa tive at Washington his passport and a letter branding President Zelaya as a violator of solum n internatiorial conventions, dis turber ct the rx'ace and a tyrant, and holding him personally re sponsible for shooting to death two Americans who were a!hed with the revolutionary fijrees in Nicaragua, and virtually an nouncing the recognition on the part of the United States of the revolutionaries. The severance of diplomatic relations between the United States and Nicaragua, the despatch of additional war vessels to Nicaraguan waters and the start of considerable forces on marines for Central America seems to indicate further devel opments in that direction. The as:embling of Congress and the president's message furnish the most important news of the week. Seldom has the meeting of the national UxJy of lawmakers been hioked for ward to ith more public interest, due largely to the general expec tation that the session will deal with railway legislation, the amendment of the Sherman anti trust act and other matters of wide spread interest and impor tance. Congress assembled Mon day for the "long session, "which probably will run into the sum mer. Senators and Represe.i tives express a determination to take up the work of the session vigorously at the beginning with the hope of having it well ad vanced before the holidays. The House was already organized by the election of Speaker and of ficers at the extra session, and the appointment of committees, so there will be no excuse for that body not getting down to business at once. Simultaneous with the meeting of Congress several important national gatherings assembled in the capital to impress upon the jaw makers the necessity for legis lation along various lines. The Southern Commercial Congress met during the first two days of the week and will be immediately followed by the annual meeting of the National Rivers and Harb ors Congress to-day when President Taft will deliver the opening address. Other conventions of general interest scheduled for the week include the meeting of the American Anti-Saloon League in Chicago and the American Civic Alliance Congress in New York. The annual meeting of the Na- tionalCivilService Reform I-eague will be held in New York Thurs day and Friday. Among the subjects to be discussed are civil pensions, consular reform and the application of the merit system to the higher municipal offices.

Ail over the world, w herever User is an organization of fienev olent and Protective Order of Elks, the .annual memorul fcervice is held every ftrt Sunday in De cember. Fayetteville ydge, No. l'l, Elks, held its anr.ual memorial serv ices in the taPayette Theatre fit 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon before a large, appreciative and ctured audience, the services lasting just one liour. Tlte Ia Fayette orchestra rendered a fine setection. followed by the hymn, "How Firm Foundation," from a fplendid choir of male and fe male voices, led by Mr. W.Frank Mount. Next came the lodge ceremon ies, conducted by Exalted Ruler J. G. HoHingsworth. The open ing ode, "Great Iiuler of the Uni verse." was then sung by the choir and the audience. Rev.W. P. Hannon, priest of Si. Patrick's Gaelic church, invoked God's blessing in an eloquent prayer A beautiful anthem, with solo and duets, was then rendered. Then Hon. H. L. Cook introduced th siaker of the occasion, Mr. Jo e h E. U bhisor, of (io!dslojo Elks Iige No. KlU, and editor of the Goldsboro Argus. Mr. Ciwk's introduction was very fit ting, and in the course of it he paid a beautiful and touching tribute to departed Elk Mike Folb- Mr. Robinson's address was a dissertation on "Fife." It was eloquent, chaste, scholsrly and eminently logical and withal was permeated with the thought that fife was but "a means to an end," and that end was God. Seldom iz a Favettoville audience given the privilege of hearing so fine an address, and it was greatly ap preciated. Mr. Robinson spoke for ilO minutes. Fayetteville lodge has been blessed in having no death in its ranks the past year, Mr. Folb, mentioned above, having died last year. The personnel of the lodge is from our best citizens and the order is steadily grow ing in popular favor. Southtm Commercial Congus. Washington, Dec. tith.

The Congress has announced that it has two objects to has ten a clearer self-knowldgee throughout the whole South, and to compel the balance of the Uni ted States and of the world to set a greater valuation on the South' as a region of opportunity.
