Hill cpfLoration oigani zer and railroad mrgn ate of jtbe first -rank, never loses aa opportunity to sound a warning whcering burprofli gate habits in the management of our primitive natural . resources. , Be fore the first conservation oongrss which assembled at the call or' Presi dent Roosevelt, he made a most im pressive protest Lgainst .the : reckless wastefulness with which the A.meri cai people afe drafting' upoQ . ihe stored wealth and realizing, upon the Virgin richness pt the soil.' tin his rpeech before the Bankers' Conven tion, in Chicago,-howej er fte poira' jed the evil;thati$ ; resulting from the setting of the human itle away irom thecultiyated fiield and toward thei factory 'gate of the city slum." In short he delivered a back-to-to-the land exordium y It will not be overlooked of course that Mr. Hill heads k a ' big railroad systemjthat'defmeats.the rich' wheat lands of Minnesota, the Dakotas and the provinces ofVVestern GanadaMf I he cau double the wheat-growmg population of those areas he iwill doable the business oCfciis: railroads. "But the fact that as conservator ot a railroad, system Mr. Hill is intere sted in the promotion of agriculture does not detract trom the intrinsic merit of his" arguments and deduc tions. 'y- He formulated the, sugges tion that this country is iibt develop ing its agricultural 'resources in equ al! ratio to the development otber branches ot industry by saying; "The idea that we feed the world is being corrected and unless we can increase the agricultrial popula tion and their product, -the question of a soiirse of fooiupply at home will soon supersede the question of a market abroad." It was not so long ago that Mr. Hill made the statement - that the railroad faculties jot ; th is s coun try ought to be doubd; that our- indu strial problem was not one of pro duction, but of getting production, to market. And he followed this up by- s declaring that five billions of dollars ought to be spent in this country in railroad building with the next ien years. The county is in fact developing in all branches of industrialism in a way calculated to get any observer of the situation however expert I he may be in balancing ratios, 'a little mixed. It is not. likely however, that our agriculture has yet reached the ultimate ot its development or the half of it. High values will surely attract both capital and labor to the farms, if not m amad rush, withpa steady trend. Items From the University.

Dis patch of the 15th instant from "A Tax Payer" of Elon College, N. C, for the whereabouts of our Popular Road Superinendent and the cause of the present, very bad, conditions of the public rjoada in our county. Now, we are somewnat surprised to hear such a cry from- the educa tional centre of our county. We don't look for, r expect the superintendent of roads down this way. Why need he Cwtneor ;what can he do without money? He has but about'f 6,000 with which to; keep up the forceand . the roads of the county. -: J I I A little niore than a year ago, we had a "Ginger Cake bweetened Water-Blow Horn Crowd," that ate and drank and blew from one end of the county to the; other, that our public roads were m a deploraoie conditioff tha$ th ;onlyj thing to do was to vote a .$200,000, bemd .issue and we ooki have 'good rpatls in every township without raising our taxes one cent.' : : Perhaps "A Tax Payer" was cap- tinated by this pretty story, if so, he should keep mum, he is beginning to reap his reward. How can he expect any better roads when it takes $1 1,000 of our road funds to pay into' the sinking fund on bonds to build an "automo bile" traclracroES Bass Mountain. All we have to do Brother Tax Payer is, say nothing while our coun ty Dads give us such good roads. LITTLE TAX PAYER Graham, N. C, No. 2, 9-20, 1909. New . Steam Laundry.
