The People Jlust Not Allow a Few Politicians to Manipulate the Road Machinery for Selfish Ends. A few years ago Moore County looked with envy at any section that could afford the expensive macadam roads, which seemed the only sort worth while. Now this section, en joying its own fine sand-clay roads, sees other counties adopting the same materials, which many declare decidedly preferable to the macad am. When one remembers that the sand-clay can be constructed from $250 to $500 a mile, while macadam means an expense of not less than $1,500, and usually more, the good fortune of the sections where sand is available is apparent. It is safe to assume that wherever the mate rials for the sand-clay road can be Vi i of raacnnahlo rnt thoro will I little more macadam road built. Southern Pines Tourist. Robeson has the materials for building sand-clay roads and is rais ing enough money, if it were prop erly spent, to build them. This county ought not to lag longer be hind other counties in the matter of good roads. Bad roads are too ex pensive for any county to afford. The trouble with the road mchinory in this county is that it has been and is, and heaven only knows how long it will be, merely a political football, used more with a view to promoting somebody's political pros pects than with a view to building good roads. If the people will quit letting a few politicians manipulate the road machinery for their own selfish ends, Robeson will have good roads in short order. Lumberton Robeson.

He is now finishing a fine silk quilt, put to gether in small pieces In the old fashioned way, and when completed the work would do credit to a crack seamstress. It is really a work of art and it is hard to believe that it was made by a man's hand. Mr. Ward has a manio for needle work and works until midnight every night at this kind of employment.
