There is. no need to debate the importance of good
roads. There is only one side to that question. Hender
son county needs good roads. It is not enough for us to
have roads as good as the average; we want the best we
cau get, and it will pay to have them.
Thousands of visitors can testify to the great advan
tages of our summer climate. But our winter climate is
fully as good, if not better; the trouble is that lots of peo
ple don't know it. And they won't know it until we have
better roads.
Roads are naturally worse in winter than in summer.
Winter visitors are not found in large numbers at any
place where the roads are not good. As soon as we per
manently improve our roads, we may look for winter
crowds and winter business here instead of depending on a
short season in summer.
This is one reason for road improvement; and there
are plenty of other reasons equally strong.

ecord
Batts, the champion corn grower
who took the prize last year for the
largest yieldof corn on one acre cf
land, has sold the corn from that
one acre for $4,400.
This breaks the record.
A Mob
The democratic congressional con
vention in the Sixth district, which
was held last week, was a very dis
creditable affair. It was worse than
disorderly, it was riotous. The con
vention met at Wrightsville Beach,
and from start to finish confusion
reigned supreme. From the near
by town of Wilmington, a large
police force, headed by the chief of
police, was called in and succeeded
in partially diminishing the riot.
. Godwin, the present congressman.
was a candidate for reelection. A 1
host of other candidates opposed
him. The controlling force was
anti-Godwin, and threw out the
vote of certain counties. Pande
monium followed. The Wilming
ton police were called in and a
man by the name of Clark, was de
clared the nominee. Subsequently
a body which purported to be the
convention nominated Godwin,
v It is stated that Clark and God
win will run, each claiming to be
the regular nominee of .the party.
The Godwin men say the Clark
convention twas a mob controlled
by ; an , imported police force and
acting without ;v authority. The
Clark men say the Godwin conven
tion was a bolters meeting.

Constructive Statesmanship
Shown in Averting the
Threatened Strike
Tae settlement of the Pennsyl
vania railroad tangle and the avoid
ance of the threatened strike was a
valuable work of constructive states
manship which has saved the coun
try from almost incalculable loss.
We publish on page 3 a carefully
prepared, article written just before
the settlement was reached. This
article gives-a good idea of the ex
tent of the threatened danger.
The inside history of the efforts
by which the strike was averted
has not been published and may
never be published; but it is gener
ally understood that powerful in
fluences were required to accom
plish this end. The fact is that the
country is in safe hands. There is
a strong administration at Washing
ton which is quietly but strongly
exerting its influence to maintain
and promote the prosperity of the
Nation.
Sam Jones was killed by lightning
Tuesday afternoon on his farm near
Upward. Mr. Jones had been plow
ing and had just finished his Vork
when the storm began and he shel
tered under an apple tree. About
an hour later he and his mule were
found dead. The apple tree was
uninjured but a near-by chestnut'
tree had been struck by lightning.
The funeral was held Wednesday .
at the Jones burying ground near
Upward. Mr. Jones was thirty
three years of age and was unmar- -ried.
