C., Wednesday, Nov. 14, 1923 MORE BONDS FOR STATE ROADS Impossible To Complete State Highway System With Funds Now In Hand—Some Sections Have Not Been Served. When the 1921 Legislature issued fifty million dollars in bonds for building roads in North Carolina a great many of the members at that time favored making it a hundred million dollars instead of fifty, and it will nodoubt require that amount before the State highway system is completed. Now a newspaper correspond ent, Mr. Brock Barkley, writes from Raleigh as follows: The state's authorization of highway bonds now aggregates $65,000,000. and supporters of the proposal for another issue contend the state's ability to meet great obligations is more promising now than it was when the first issue of $50,000,000 was voted- At that time many good roads enthusiasts advocated a $75,000,000 issue while a SIOO,- 1 j 000,000 dollars for good roads ! was a plan of the early future. Another $25,000,000, it is | claimed, would complete the | program with a great big bang. The state, of course, will be well supplied with good roads with completion of the present pro gram. but the additional ex penditure would place it second to no tther state in the union in the completeness of its highway system. Importance is added to the suggested new issue when it is reported that the administration strongly favors it and will give the proposal a chance to be considered, depending on the governor's decision as to a special session. If a session is called to consider the report of the ship and water transportation com mission. which is expected to be made during the early part of presentation of the proposal for a new highway issue along with the recommendations of the ship j commission. | Revenue Agents Get Four Cars and 6 Men 0 Salisbury, Nov.

TOBACCO CO-OPS WIN OUT AGAIN Court Holds that Law Is Valid Requiring that Tobacco Tags Or Cards Shall Be Accessi ble To Public. Danville. Nov. 11.-The To bacco Growers' Cooperative Marketing association scored a legal victory here this morning when Judge D. P. Withers dis solved the restraining order which he entered two weeks ago against the association on a pe tition filed by counsel for the local auction warehousemen, enjoining the mayor and commonwealth's attorney from enforcing the Vir ginia tobacco marketing laws. In a lengthy written decision which he read from the bench this morning, the court maintain-1 ed the validity of the marketing laws, asserting further that while these laws imposed a burden on the warehousemen, the legislature manifestly had the right to enact them.The attack on the laws had been based on the theory that the legislature did not have the right to enact what was described a "class legislation'' and that therefore the marketing laws were unconstitutional. Judge Withers carefully ana-! ; I lyzed the laws and held that the 1 inspectors for the association do ■ not have the right to wander at j ' will in the auction warehouses!

T'he' 1 warehousemen must, however, designate a place where the cards | on the tobacco piles shall be kept j so that the inspectors can examine ! them. !
