To thfe Honorable Board of Coun
ty Commissioners:
Gentlemen fTh campaign
for GoodRoads in North Caro
lina has reached the stage where
we must either go forward or
backward. The recent Conven
tion of Good Roads advocate at
Ralsigh brought together repre
sentative men from every part
of the State, who with one ac
cord agree that Good Roads in
North Carolina are a vital neces
sity. The great difficulty con
fronting us is to discover the
means whereby they may be se
cured. The object of the North
Carolina Good Roads Association
is to promote the interests of bet
ter public roads in every county
in North Carolina and in this
while the movement is before
he people, and with concerted
effort we carmot fail to accom
plish a w'onderful wor for the
upbuilding 'of the State. At the
forthcoming session of the legis
lature, through the efforts of
tfiis Association, we shall hope
to be in shape to present a prac
tical and desirable- Road Law
which will benefit every town
ship in every county in North
Carolina in the matter of public
roads.
I hope your Board will favor-
ably consider this matter at its
next meeting; any 'delay means
an abatement of interest which
will detract from the success of
the undertaking. The money
may be sent to our treasurer,
Mr. Joseph G Brown, the presi
dent of the Citizens' Natianal
work we ask the co-operation of Bank, at Raleigh, N. C, who
every public spirited citizen in will be the custodian of the As-
the State. The necessity formation, and who will give you
combined effort, however, is ob- the Association's receipt for your

He Was Caiitfbt on bmjre'i Trestle,
After a Desperate itttuipttoEscaje.
Newton, Feb. 20. An un
known white man was instantly
killed late this afternoon by a
freight train on the Carolina &
Northwestern Railroad on
Smyre's trestle, two miles from
here. The only paper found on
his person was a letter from D
T McKeithan, of the Bridgers &
McKeithan Lumber Company, of
Lumber, S, C, , telling him toj
come and take a job. The name
the dead man was cut out of the
letter by the wheels. When he
saw the train approaching him
on the trestle the unfortunate,
i
man made a desperate effort to
reach the end of the trestle and
seeing that he c ould not do so
he threw himself squarely under
the approaching Otra:u was
literally ground to piaces.
An inquest was held to night
and a verdict in accordance with
these facts renderd. It is sel
dotn a death occurs on this road
and it is coincidence that this
accident occurred at the same
point where, eleven years ago
this month, seven people met
their death in a wreck. The
dead man was about 25 years of
age, medium size and height
and black hair.
