Governor l’eay. of Tennessee, and sev ergJf highway offiffieials of South Caroli na! ’together’with a representative of the federal highway 'department, are spend ing several days in North Carolina study ing road matters in this State. They have come to the source of good roads to ge£ 'information and while in the State dhajrifcan Frank Page, of the State High way Commission, is taking them to vari ous cities to show them our road system. North Carolina has spent about $50.- 000.000 so far on her road program and she has about $15,000,000 to spend. That $65,000,000 will give us roads equal to those in any State in the Union with a ffw exceptions, and will give us publicity that cannot be valued in dollars and t cents. We not only are spending the money. We are gvttiug the results, and somehow when jreople talk roads* in] | North Carolna they forget the money. The I result has been so tine that the cost is ' forgotten, and that is The secret of any j public expenditure that meets with ap- j proval. f While Governor Peay and the South Carolina Highway men are in North Car olina they are discussing plans whereby a highway route can be established link ing the two Carolinas and Tennessee by a permanent, bard-surfaced road. The plan is a very feasible one. and should be* curried out. There is little left for this State to dot 1 iu the proposed plan. We will soon have a paved road from the South Carolina line to the Tennessee line, and if tin- two States will just connect their capital cities with this road, the plan will be carried out. The Tennessee and South Carolina of ficials are seeking road information and they have come to the right place to-get it. The North Carolina plan is one of the best adopted by any State in the Un ion, as evidenced by the results. SIMILAR CASES HERE. A local woman's society of Conway. S. C., decided to get up a cook book and sell , it at so much per copy. Sufficient recipes were seut in by the ladies and local bus iness men took advertising space in the book to help a good cause along. When all the matter was arranged, different f printers were asked for bids on the print ing of 500 copies of the cook. book. When the bids were all received it was found that the two Conway printers had been underbid by a few dollars, all the bids being around SIOO, so the printing was not doue jn Conway, hut set.it to a dis tant point. , The Horry Herald, published in Con- Why, carried a column editorial about the ladies and their action and it expressed in no uncertain terms its feeling. It w T as not so much a personal loss, but The Herald felt that since there were on ly a few dollars difference in the price L-a local company should have been given the work. And it is right. The Herald had been helping the ladies and they should have helped it; as much as possi ble. fe < Declaring that it agreed with The Herald the News of Greenville, S. C., carries a lengthy editorial on the ca?e. “The very organization whch had the printing doue had often called on The Herald to give it free local advertising and the paper never refused,” The News finds. “B had not only given much free .. to "That particular organiza tion, but had given it to every other good cause in the county. It is always boost ing and advertising the county schools, churches, missionary societies and every other local organization. Each- year the paper gives these agencies many dollars worth ,of free space and the free adver tising; it gives the county as a whole could nol be estimated. When jhe or ganization wants free printing it goes to The Herald and gets it for the asking, but when it has money to spend for printing it sehds it out of town. No wonahr The ;H*ra)d feela injured- What that paper, ougfrt ’ to: do ne*t time-this societyiwants a fret notice in its* column is to tell'it to get its free advertising at the same place where it gets its job printing done. But The Herald will riot do that. In this respect it is like all oth er papers—it loves its county too well to quit boostng it because of unfair treat ment. “Everybody seems to take it for grant ed that a man puts his money into a newspaper simply to boost his town and county and that about all the support the paper needs is a few knocks because it fails to mentiou that some wealthy citizen contributed a dime toward buying a new piano for the school, that the lo cal drug store is giving a chance at a canary bird with each $lO purchase, that a promising young attorney with a bright political future has been invited to make an address at a family reunion in the Squeedunk community, or that a certain society of zealous citizens sent a shoe box full of secoud-hand clothing to the orphanage last week.” We have had cases here very similar to this one reported from South Caroli na. The free publicity for something is brought to this office and the job work or money side of the proposition is car ried to some other job office. A major ity of the people still seem to think that a newspaper is in business only for fun. BOOST FOR HEALTH OFFICIALS. The report of Dr. W. S. Rankiu. head of the North Carolina State Board of Health, showing that for the first three months of the year Cabarrus County re ceived more in return for its money spent for health than any other county in the State, is a boost for I)r. S. E. Buchanan, local .health officer, and his staff. The test being made by Dr. Rankin is the first of its kind ever held in the South, it is said, and is the first attempt made iu this State to determine just how much each /county is > getting in dollars and cents for the money it is spending for health. , ' • . , ‘ For each dollar spent in Cabarrus County during the first three months of the year, the county received work to the value of 2.52. Iu other words Dr. Buchanan and his assistants spent each SI.OO given them in such a manner that the returns from their labor was worth $2.52 figured in dollars and cents And not in lives saved. The rejiort shows that the Cabarrus health department is one of the most ef ficient in North. Carolina, both as *:o its health work and management of finances. STARTED SOMETHING. The trial of Walter Higginbotham, for mer whipping boss in a Florida convict! camp, set the South to thinking of pris on reforms, and the movement has al ready spread to several States, where much needed reform has been made. While conditions in North Carolina were never as had as they were reported to be jn Florida, officials of this State be came interested in prison reform several months ago. and now the entire State system of prisons is on a different basis. Prisoners are to be treated more humane ly and a new system of control has been adopted. In South Carolina recently an investigation was made and the inquiry resulted in several changes in the per sonnel of the prison bosses. Conditions there were not found as bad as in Flor ida. hut they were deemed bad enough to warrant a change. And now comes Virginia with a pro posal .to change her system of prison con duct. A special from Norfolk says “a movement is on foot to establish district prison farms throughout Virginia. to make drastic changes in the State penal system. According to the tentative plans a prison farm would be established iu each of the ten districts of the State and the central prison iu Richmond would be relieved of the bulk of its work. The ghost of Tabert. whom Higgin botham is alleged to have killed by cruel Hoggings,] has seemingly walked into the hearts and minds of State offifficinls in various parts of the country. And Hig ginbotham must serve 20 years in the State prison for the death of Tabert, he. having been found guilty of murder in the second degree when tried for the life 1 of the Nocife Dakota man who died in the Florida camp. NO CAUSE FOR PESSIMISM. The midsummer dullness in many lines of business, following a period of brisk business in the spring, 'has caused many people in various parts of the country to become pessimistic. But there is no cause for this pessimism say those persons who have kept in close touch with the business situation, and who point out that there is every reason to expect good business within several weks. Dur ing the spring months/the country was almost visited by another period of in flation, but the movement was undoubt edly stopped* because of the fact that people generally remembered the disas trous results of the last boom or infla tion period. And it is best for that country that the movement was stopped. The busi ness of this country must be based on healthy conditions if it is to prosper, and if the inflated conditions had really got hold on the people in the spring, we would have had another situation similar to the noe of 11)20 aud 1921. According to students of ‘business and economics, the stage is set for healthy, normal business iu the United States this fall, and those who go after results in the right way should get them. And it seems that wealth will have to be sought and fought for. There is iloth ing to indicate success for the idler, a situation most fortuuhte. , In, thjs immediate section of the couu trv they boll weevil is- certain to influence on' business eouditions.wT?he weevil is here, but the cotton growers are not sitting back with folded hands, but are fighting it and wliiVit will cause some- damage, it is not expected to take all of the profit from the 1923 cotton crop in this county. And the crop gives indications of being one of the best in recent years. In every section of the 1 country the cotton is making fine prog | ress, and if favorable weather continues land the weevil is checked, this county ' should make the biggest crop in recent I years. That will mean good business, and as similar conditions are reported jin other sections of this and adjoining States, there is every reason to expect a j favorable cotton crop in the Piedmont ■ section. ADOPTING A FAJSM PROGRAM. More than 2,(XH) fanners in North ! Carolina have signed a pledge to adhere strictly to certain fundamental things, declared by experts to be essential in successful farming. Ten provisions are outlined by the experts for the suggest ion of the farmer, and we agree with The Salisbury Post in the opinion that “these ten provisions make a mighty fine schedule for almost any farmer anywhere to follow.” They are : 1. Raise enough corn and hay to car ry me through 1924. 2. Raise enough meat to supply my family this. year. 3. Ilavt a twelve-months-in-the-year garden. 4. Provide milk and butter for fami ly the whole year. 5. Keep an average of thirty hens on the farm. 6. Improve orchard by setting out trees and berries. 7. Plant legumes and other soil-en riching crops. 8. Enroll at least one child in club work. 9. Add some home convenience. 10. Beautify the homestead. The Gastonia Gazette declares this to bf a good program, drawn up by a man who knows farming. That paper says that “there is probably no community in the south where the program if carried, out would not prove profitable.” North Carolina farmers living up to the program would be more prosperous for their pains undoubtedly.

Raleigh News and Observer. “Lend me ten dollars,” said the Gov ernor of North Carolina to the Governor of Tennesse when they were overtaken on a lonely mountain road in Hender son county last Saturday afternoon. “With pleasure, Sir,” said the Gov ernor of Tennessee to the Governor of North Carolina and His Excellency paid the ten dollars into the hands of a doubting speed cop. The two executives were bowling along over the inviting roads of Henderson county, doing considerably better than the statutory mileage, in the limousine that the State provides for the transpor tation of its Governor. Governor Austin Peay, of Tennessee, had arrived iif the State to see the roads that morning, and Governor Morri son was out showing them to him when the Henderson deputy roared up behind them. He didn't believe a word of. it when Governor Morrison disclosed his identity. There were a lot of things that ho ap peared not to know, and among them was the fact that the name of the pres ent Governor is spelled M-o-r-r-i-s-o-n. He thought it was B-i-c-k-e-t-t. He was interested chiefly in ten dollars, and said as much. And Governor didn't have the ten spot handy. Governor Peay didn't talk about it all when he got to Raleigh with Frank Page last night, but members of his par ty were having no little amusement out of the fact that one Henderson county speed cop caught two “Governors in one haul. The Governor of North Carolina paid the Governor of Tennessee when they got back to the hotel. Five Killed as Auto Stops on a Crossing. Terre Haute.

THE TIME?. Concord, N. C. Uncertainty of Cotton Not Affecting Oth er Crops. Philadelphia Record. Continued agricultural progress 'wss made last week in nearly every section of (he country, as reported to rhe Amer ican Steel and Wire Company by repre sentatives stationed at various points. Harvesting is under way in the more southerly sections arnfin the Far West. The outcome of the cotton crop, however, appears still to be a matter of extreme uncertainty. The company's report says in part : ‘‘The' weather was more favorable to cotton. Farmers made good headway in cultivating their fields. Showers and more seasonable temperature were bene ficial to most crops in the great grain belt. Oats and wheat are filling well. "1 laying has commenced in earnest in most of the* Central States, and earlier reports as to lightness of crops are be- ! ing borne out. Corn and potato develop ment lias been favorable. Fruits con tinue to be reported as good. Much boll weevil damage is reported from cotton growing Stales. This crop is very prob lematical. as reports are extremely va riable and contradistory.” Work Starts Today on Davidson Stadium Davidson.
