The contractors have been kept frj n work only a few days, and this was when it was actually raining so that it was impossible to do any thing. Some rock is being encountered on the road just south of Danbury which is being blasted out and this delays th? for;o, but with a few days of fair weather thev will reach Danbury with the grading. The other end of the road toward Meadows postofiice will then be taken up. In Sauratown township practi cally three mil."* of thj road between .J. I.

Congressman Stedman Says That Congress Will Next Take Lp Trust Legislation. • Greensboro, Dec. 30. —Majir Chas. M. Stedman, Representa tive in Congress from the Fifth District, who is spending the holidays at his home here, thinks that the principal legislation in Congress after the holidays will be directed against the trusts. The appropriation bills will come first, and as soon these are out of the way the trust problem will be considered. Congressman Stedman is very much pleased with the currency bill and and does not think that either the financial interests of the big cities nor all the Republi can polit cians can produce a panic. The Major is receiving as surances of loyal support from all sections of the district and his friends h:re do not believe that ho can be defeated fcr re nomination by. any man in the district or any combination of candidates. Those mast prom inently mentioned as his op ponents are Victor S. Bryant, of Durham; Gen. B. S. I'oyster, of Oxford: and Judge E. B. Jones, of Wins'on-Salem. It is alto gether probable that two of these three mentioned—probably all—will be in the running. Wonderful Coufh Remedy.

Now that the old year is draw ing to a close resolutions for the New Year are in order. Onccf the best resolutions a person can make at this time is the determination to save some money during the next twelve months. Some of the world's greatest business men have traced the beginning of their financial suc cess to the time when they deposited their first sums in savings accounts. The habit of thrift thus developed proved of immense advantage in later life. Their example in this respect would seem to be an excellent one to follow. The savings account idea is especially good for boys and girls. It is an excellent way for par ents to open such an acjount for their boy and girl encouraging him or her to add to the sum during the year by depositing money that otherwise would probably be spent foolishly. Not only will the.sum thus saved be considerable but the saving habit thus inculcated will be of even -rpore value. Parcel Post Hurling The Express Business.
