’NEGRO ISSUE WILL NOT
DOWN IN WASHINGTON
Displeasure of Black Politicians at Ap
pointment of* Slfinp Has Been Quiet
ed, However.
Washington. Sept. 17. —The negro is
sue wih not down here. The sudden
selection of former Representative
Campbell Bascomb Slemp. of Virginia,
for private secertay to the President
did not set well with many prominent
negro politicians who recalled the ef
forts of 3lr. Slemp to eliminate the
negro from politics. But it was neces
sary to bring the colored leaders in line
and astute white Republicans undertook
"the task and have won.
Negroes throughout the nation do not
like 3lr. Slemp. They opposed him be
cause several years ago he fostered the
"lily white" movement in Virginia. But
it was stated today that the sentiment
toward* him has changed and he is
again in good standing. The difference
growing out of activities in the ‘lily
white" campaign have been patched up.
The fact that 31 r. Slemp voted in
favor of Bob Church, the Memphes.
Tenn.. millionaire negro politician, in
eontest at the last Republican conven
tion. was brought to bear on the objec
tors and quieted the tumult that was
growing in negro political circles in sev
eral pivotal states.
Friends of President Coolidge took
hold of this matter aud brought about
a reconeilliatiou of factions.

THE CONCORD TIMES 1
HOW “SEA OP SAND”
WAS CONQUERED FOR ROAD
_ I
Engineers Describe Way in Which Road
in .Eastern Part of State Was BuMt. i
Raleigh. X. 0., Sept. 19. —Writing iu
this month's issue of the North Caro
lina Highway Bulletin, official publica
tion of the State Higuway Commission,
A. L. Cornell. Jr., and (4. B. Cooper, res-
I ideut engineers employed by the commls-
I sion, in an article appearing under the
bending, "Conquering a Sea of Sand*”
i toil of the progiY'ss of the construction
of state highway route No. 30. which
runs from Wilmington in a northeasterly
direction towards Virginia’s southern
border line.
"Beginning at Wilmington and run
ning in a northeasterly direction through
the towns of Jacksonville. New 7 Bern.
Washington. Williainstou and Gatesville
to the Virginia line." reads the article,
that portion of the state highway system
known as Route 30 presents many inter
esting features of highway construction,
of which the first 50 miles, known as
the Wilmington and Jacksonville high
way. will be dealt with in this article.
"Pender juad Onslow counties travers
ed by this highway, are situated in the
extreme southeastern part of the state
bordering on the Atlantic Ocean and by
reason of this location are very sandy
and iKiorky drained. This territory is
sparsely settled owing to the difficulties
of transportation which the construction
of this road will relieve in a large part.
'Phis section of the state was settled at
an early date by people from the New*
Bern section on the north rind from the
Cape Fear plantations on the south, who
were probably attracted’ by the wonder
ful resources of the territory in the
way of fish, oysters and game and also
the—great forests of virgin timber which
at that date covered the whole coastal
plain.
“The road practically paralleds the
coast line at a distance of three to five
miles or just far enough back to avoid
the heads of numerous creeks and bays
that jut out from the sounds along the
coast,These bays and creeks are filled
with fish amr oysters, and in the winter
are the feeding grounds of thousands of
wild Thick and geese. These together
with numerous deer that roam the back
woods make this section a veritable
"Sportsman’s Paradise." which the eom
; pletion of this road will open up to the
hunters and fishermen of this and other
states. In tliis connection it would be
a good idea for state* and county authori
ties to take steps to see that this game
is not slaughtered as ruthlessly as the
timber resources have been. The way
t4iis timber lias been cut is a blot ouour
whole state. For mile after mile the
road runs through cut-over land that
judging from the stumps was a wonder
ful growth of long leaf pine and had it
been properly cut on a sane and conser
vative basis would have still been a
great source of wealth to the state. It
is not too late yet to adopt a reforesta
tion plan and with the almost subtropical
climate which the proximity to the Gulf
stream affords it would be only a few
| years before the timber would be again!
a source of wealth to these counties. This
section now lies dormant waiting for the
stimulus which a modern highway un
doubtedly give toward development.
“When the present highway commission
took over the so-called Wilmington and
Jacksonville highway in flic spring of
1921. it probably presented one of the
longest continuous stretches of unimprov
ed road in the new state system. For 12
miles out of Wilmington, to Scott’s Hill,
the road was built of surface treated
macadam, From ScotFs Hill to Jack
sonville there was no semblance of a
road, the ‘highway’ being merely a sandy
trail, impassable a major portion of the
time.
“Construction was started in Novem
ber. 1921. The first project was 15.5 U
miles in length and known as fio. 375.
The contract covered grading, structures
and artificial sand-clay surfacing. Ow
ing to the scarcity of clay, however this
surfacing was abandoned on February
15. 1922. The clay surfacing would have '
proven far too costly for the result ob
tained for clay was of an inferior qual
ity and had to be hauled excessive dis
tances.
"Contracts were let in rapid succes
sion for the grading and structures on
the balance of the road to Jacksonville.
This was let in two projects, No. 301-A
and 384-B, successively.
“Owing KTthe extremely sandy soil the
graded r<Tad would have proved but lit
tle better than the original trail. In the
light of this, investigations were started
immediately to select a type of surfac
ing that could be strictly and cheaply
built. A type of pavement known as
sand asphalt was suggested. Tests were
made of several sand deposits adjacent
to the highway. The result of these
tests were encouraging and in the early
spring of 1922 a location was adopted
and a portable asphalt plant was order
ed. A project 10 miles long, beginning
at Scott's Hill was to be constructed
and as this project was to be considered
an experiment, no bids were invited, an
organization being perfected by the
Highway Commission.
"The plant arrived the latter part ot*
March and the first asphalt was laid in
31ay. The work proved satisfactory from
the beginning, and it' was decided to
continue this type of construction to
Jacksonville and in order to expedite the
work another plant was ordered about
the same time * * Both plants are no;v
turning out asphalt and it is hoped that
the road will be completed by the fall of
1924. Owing to the light traffic expect
ed from a country so thinly populated, a
pavement 10 feet wide is being construct
ed. Should future traffic justify a pave
ment of greater width the present one
can be easily widened. This type of
pavement -has now passed the experiment
al stage. Its advantages lie iu its cheap
ness and the utilization of local sand.
The cost is considerably lojver than the
average contract price for asphalt sur
facing. the price being 1.00 per square
yard for the finished pavement.
“The pavement is merely what its
name implies, being a mixture of sand
and asphalt, mixed so as to obtain a
maximum density. * * The same stand
ards for engineering and inspection work
are expected iu this work as on our other
state work. A cost .record is being rigid
ly kept, which it 'is ‘ hoped*- "’ill prove of
inestimable value’ to future work of this
class.”

TWO STUDENTS BILLED
IN BERKLEY FIRE
Damage to Property Unusually Big With
Millions.
Berkley, Calif., Sept. IT.— Two persons
aVe dead, hundreds of homes are ruined,
millions of dollars worth of property
Mas .consumed and the entire bity of
Berkley was threatened as the result
of a grass fire, which, out of control be
cause of a heavy north ‘wind, swooped
through the Cragmont district this af
ternoon and swept into the more crowded
residential districts.
Two University of California students,
unidentified, are known to have \fallen
through the roof of a burning building.
1 A third person also unidentified, is be
lieved to have been lost in the residence
district near the hills.
The part of tFe conflagration that
threatened the business section was
brought under control at University Ave
nue and Allston Way at 5:30 o’clock this
evening.
At 4:30 o’clock vast columns of flames'
at Allston Way and Addison Street
j gave forebodings that the entire* Berkley
! business district would go. Shattuck
| Avenue merchants moved out their valu
ables and officials of the University of
I California, directly opposite tlja. lfcie of
I flases, prepared for a determined fight.
The streets and avenues of Berkeley
were thronged with marchers leaving
their homes.
Then it all changed. The direction
of the lind was one cause. The vicious
j norther became westerly zephyr. Bat
! teries of fire engines from Alameda. Oak
! land nml ..Stan Francisco arrived and ad
•'ded their lines to the Berkeley lines.
Thousands of workmen helped. Their
combined efforts saved the situation.
All the street car lines were paralyzed
as soon as the fire started and still were
out of commission in Berkeley late to
night.
The approximate scope of tin 1 Berkeley
fire was from the Berryman reservoir up
Jto the eastward line of the hills. From
! there south everything was burned for
1 six blocks. House** on both sides of
Euclid Avenue and Beunavista Avenue
I were burned. Ix> Loma park also was
destroyed. Every house on Euclid Ave
nue from Shasta south to Hilgard went
up in flames.
Sporadic fires broke out from Hilgard
south to University campus. All the
houses in upper Leroy Strcnf were de
stroyed. as well as all the houses on La
Loma Avenue. Half of faculty of
the l niversity of California was rend
ered homeless.
A quarter mile square extending from
Cedria to Shasta streets to the east of
Euclid Avenue was in flames. In this
sector about Oft homes were consumed.
Another area south of Cedar Street and
west of Euclid Ayenuc was razed and 40
homes destroyed. Homes in another
area extending to Spring Street were
burned.
The path of the flames lias been gen
erally southeast and southwest from the
Berryman reservoir, the seat of the con
flagration. From this source it extend
ed to the business section at University
a ven lie.
# Reinforced by members of the student
body at the university and by citizens
pressed into service, the police threw
a guard about the whole burned area
shortly after 4 o’clock.
In north Berkeley every kind of ve
hicle that could be pressed into service
carried salvage from the burning houses.
Baby buggies, wheelbarrows and even
children’s coasters wore trundled about
the streets.
Refugees crowded all streets leading
out of the burned area at about 4:3ft
when a shift in the wind hurled the
smoke and Halites back on them.
, Men. women and childrerh- driven out
of their holm's, in the* fashionable resi
dential section, appeared in processions,
many of them carrying their most clier
'ished possessions, making their way to
places of safety. Some of them were in
automobiles, some of them on foot until
they corrid get to street cars.
Scores of motorists hovered about the
edges of the burning belt, making fre
quent runs oil foot among the blazing
buddings that they might be of assist
ancel to those striving to get away.
> Ten injured were brought into the
Berkeley general hospital but only two
remained there. They are elderly ■wom
en whose homes were destroyed. They
are suffering from-’shock and remained ip
the hospital.
