Eiasperated Farm-Owner Quotes the
Lp-And All People Ought
to Read It.
(From the Charlotte Observer)
» How many of our town and
city people know that it is an
offense punishable by a $50 fine
or imprisonment up to 30 days to
post any advertisement of any
sort alonsr the roadway on any
body’s property without the
owner’s written permission?
Also that it is an offense pun
ishable by a $50 fine to cut any
tree or shrub or flower or empty
any trash or refuse within 100
yards of any public road without
permission?
My experience in trying to
protect my own farm roadside
convinces me that there is need
for fuller information as to these
statutes, and since they are very
brief. 1 shall be glad if you will
publish them in your paper. I
ask this not only for the benefit
of country people but of many
townspeople who might well be a
little more thoughtful about the
moral and legal rights of their
country neighbors.
Both these laws were ratified
August 22, 1924, and read as
follows:
“Any person who in any man
ner paints, prints, places, or af
fixes, or causes to be painted,
printed, placed, or affixed, any
business or commercial advertise
ment on or to any stone, tree,
fence, stump, pole, automobile,
building, or other object, which
is the property of another with
out first obtaining the written
consent of such owner thereof,
or who in manner paints, prints,
places, puts, or affixes, or causes
to he painted, printed, placed, or
affixed, such an advertisement on
or to any stone, tree, fence, pole,
stump, mile-board, mile stone,
danger sign, danger-signal,guide
sign, guide - post, automobile,
building, or other object within
the limits of a public highway,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
and shall be fined not exceeding
fifty dollars ($50) or imprisoned
not exceeding thirty (30) days.
“Any person, not being on his
own lands, or without the con
sent of the owner thereof, who
shall, within one hundred yards
of any State highway of North
Carolina or within a like distance
of any other public road or high
way, wilfully commit any dam
age, injury, or spoliation to or
upon any tree, wood, underwood,
timber, garden, crops, veget
ables, plants, lands, springs, or
any other matter or thing grow
ing or being thereon, or who
cuts, breaks, injuries or removes
any tree, plant, or flower within
such limits, or shall deposit any
trash, debris, garbage, or litter
within such limits, shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon con
viction fined not exceeding fifty
dollars ($50) or imprisoned not
exceeding thirty days.’’

Under the above heading the
Scotland Neck Commonwealth
points out the advantages to the
towns and country through which
highway No. 12 passes that is
timely and should be considered
by all the towns effected. This
route 12 extends across the State
from Pollocksville below New
born, and is intersected by sever
al of the most traveled highways
and as the Commonwealth says,
it affords the shortest route for
a large section of North Carolina
to the Tidewater cities of Vir
ginia as well as Petersburg.
Richmond, Washington and
Northern cities.
Already large numbers of peo
ple who never traveled this way
before are passing and making
enquires, and admiring our fertile
fields. Now that the Virginia
Electric and Power Company is
entering this territory and agree
ing to furnish unlimited and
cheap power for commercial pur
poses it is time for us to be wak
ing up to the opportunities of
fered.
Following is the Common
wealth's editorial:
Route 12, which passes through
Scotland Neck and across the
Roanoke River at the Edward’s
Ferry and thence to Rich Square,
Woodland, Murfreesboro and on
to Franklin, Virginia, is destined
to be one of the most used high
ways in the State and deserves
to be bardsurfaced the entire
way not only because of the de
mands which will be made upon
it, but because there is a gentle
men’s agreement with the State
of Virginia, which cannot be de
nied, to meet it at the border
with hardsurfacing. Virginia has
carried out its part of the agree
ment and North Carolina’s honor
is at stake, and it will not be
found wanting, for that is not
the Tar Heel’s way.
Route 12 is the shortest route
by more than 20 miles to the Vir
ginia Seaboard for those travel
ing from Central and Eastern
North Carolina. It is equally as
short a route, and by far the
very best, for the same travelers
to Petersburg, Richmond, Wash
ington and the far North and
East, and aftei; entering Virgin
ia. there are bard surfaced roads
the entire way. The towns and
cities along the route mapped out
should take advantage of the ad
vertising value of the highway
and publish it to the world. Scot
land Neck has an opportunity in
this instance of gaining a meas
ure of publicity than which no
other opportunity has presented
Will not some civic organization
take advantage of it?

CAR LOAD OF HOGS SOLD
FOR ABOUT $3,000.00 NET
Mr. George E Ransom shipped

number. The average weight of
the porkers were 165 pounds and
were only eight months old. We
learn the shipment will net Mr.

Raising hogs pays much better
than raising cotton at 15 cents
per pound.—'Roanoke News.
