C, July 12. The North Carolina Department of Agri culture and the North Carolina Ex periment Station . are co-operating this season with the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture in soil surveys of Stanly, Cleveland and Orange counties. Under the co-operative ar rangement adopted for these soil surveys, each institution pays the sal ' aries and expenses of its own men, while the Federal government bears the expense of inspecting the work and publishing the report for each county. This report will be accompanied by a large map showing tn colors the lo cation of the various kinds of soils with reference to roads, schools, churches, watercourses, and other features of the county. The nature of the soils, their adaptability for various crops and suggestions for the most advantageous use of fertilizers will also be discussed in detail, to gether with full information on ex isting agricultural conditions. Sev eral months will be required to pre pare the report and map after the sur vey has been completed. Messrs. Jurney and Perkins are now in the county active engaged in this spendid work for the county. Our people are interested in the work and what it means for the county. ROAD BILL SIGNED. North Carolina Gets $1,746,00 Dur ing Five Years. Washington, July 11. Representa tive Byrnes of South Carolina was one of the members of Congress who was invited today to witness the sign ing of the good roads bill by Presi dent Wilson. Mr. Byrnes is a mem ber of the House Committee on Roads and was one of the first workers on good roads legislation, having co operated with Logan Walter Page, of the Office of Roads, in drafting the first roads measure presented to Con gress several years ago. "I predict that this bill, after its provisions be come operative," said Mr. Byrnes to day, " will be one of the most popu lar pieces of legislation of Congress, and that the next Congress will make a big increase." The bill will make available in the Carol inas during the next five years a total of $2,857,000, of which North Carolina will receive $1,746,000 and South Carolina $1,111,500. If these! States accept the plan, which is co- operative, and which requires that they furnish an jequal amount, a to tal of $5,715,000 will be expended on! roads in the next five years, and ifj the appropriations are increased, as' predicted by Mr. Byrnes, twice that sum will be available. j MAYOR LINCKE, NASHVILLE, N. C, BOOSTS TANLAC Writes to E. II. Drum: "Tanlac Does All That is Claimed for It." It is largely upon the word of such well known ' North Carolinians as Mayor M. W. Lincke, of Nashville, that Tanlac's great success has estab lished itself. Some few days ago the Honorable Mayor Lincke wrote to E. H. Drum, State Distributor of Tan lac, as follows: "After a fair trial of Tanlac I have no hesitancy in pronouncing it one of the very best tonics and remedies on the market It is all you claim for it and has worked such a wonderful change in my physical condition with in the last few weeks as to warrant my departure from an established rule and I heartily recommend it to those who suffer with indigestion, nervousness and a general run-down condition. I unhesitatingly pronounce Tanlac one of the best remedies of fered the public and will convince the most skeptical of its true worth. "Yours very sincerely, "(Signed) M. W. LINCKE." Nervous, weak and run-down men and women suffering from stomach, liver and kidney ills, indigestion, dys pepsia, sleeplessness, loss of weight, sluggishness, headaches, rheumatism and catarrh will find Tanlac the ideal reconstructive tonic. Tanlac is sold in Albemarle by the Albemarle Drug Co.; in Oakboro, by the Oakboro Drug Co.; Wadesboro, by Fox & Lyon,; Mt Pleasant, by A. W. Moore. Look up the statement of the Home Builders Association in this .s Kie. The new series m this Build ing and Loan Association is now open. PIG ALUMINUM SOON TO BE MADE AT BADIN Operation of Plant Set for July 15. Workmen Come and Go. Badin is Now a Post Office. The huge plant of the Aluminum Company of America at Badin will soon begin making its first output of pig aluminum. The much postponed date for the beginning of operations is now placed at July 15, but the in stallation of the necessary equipment is being rushed to completion, and the indications are that the first "pot room" will really begin work on that date or within 5 days afterward. Part of the plant has already been in operation. That is the carbon house, which has been manufacturing carbon burners for use in the pot room. Electricians have been work ing night and day for the past week on the rotary station, getting this in shape to supply the tremendous volt age needed for the pot room. The juice will be obtained from the South ern Power Co. pending the completion of the big Whitney dam and Tallas- see Power Co. works, which is to fur-1 nish the permanent supply. A single pot room working all the' time, 3 thrifts a day, will furnish em- ployment for 200 men. There are 8 pot rooms now in coarse of construc tion. The opening of the first pot room was first announced for the 15th of last May and has been repeatedly postponed. Its actual opening will be greeted with much pleasure by the large number of workmen waiting to accept positions in this department. Workmen continue to come and go here. Large bodies of men are con stantly arriving on transportation, a few of them finding satisfactory sit uations and the remainder gradually leaving. Of the 400 men who arrived on the big transportation train from Florida 10 days ago, less than 100 re mained. About a dozen of the 100 Durhamites who arrived three weeks ago are left. Badin is gradually assuming the appearance of a normal town. A large concrete passenger station is being erected at a convenient location between the plant and the residen tial section to take the place of the present supervised station located in some unused passenger coaches. A post office has been opened next to the employment office. The office is small, but it is a great improve ment over the former method of dis tributing mail through the company nffir-o and the commissary. Work is going forward rapidly on the large graded school building which will be ready to take care of the Badin "kiddies" by next fall. It is also rumored that Badin s rail-1 road service is to be improved soon. ! A new train is expected to be put on in a -few days between Badin and; Whitney on the vv msion-amem Southbound.
