The general election is less than three weeks distant and yet one rarely hears politics mentioned in these parts. Stokes citizens haven't even heard a policical speech so far. Farmers have been so interested in crops, tobacco prices, etc., that they haven't taken time to give politics a thought. New Comers In Peters Creek Township Infants were born recently unto the following named couples in Peters Creek township: Mr. and Mrs. Will Adkins, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lawson and Mr. and John Castie.

"PAY-AS-YOU-GO" FOR STATE ROADS One More Bond Issue Expected By Next Legislature To He pay Counties Borro we d From. Raleigh, Sept. 20.—The question of whether North Carolina rond building will be on a pay-as-you-go plan following a final bond issue expected to be authorized by the coming legislature is at present occupying considerable attention on "Capitol Hill." The opinion appears pretty gen erally grounded that the ll'2t> as sembly will authorize a highway issue of from 25 to 40 million dollars to complete the foundation started six years ago, consisting of a network of hardstjrface roads from one end of the state to the ••liter wt\V'h will give aiU4vca|hcr access to virtually every hamlet in North Carolina. But the same sources of opinion run pretty nearly unanimous that after the appropriation fr>ni the next legislature there won't be an other for a long time. All of which raises the question of whether highway work in the state will be haltud for lack of funds, and which answers itself from rev enue department records: "No." The last fiscal report of the state indicated that by the time the leg islature convenes there will be a highway surplus upwards of four and one-half millions dollars. This has accrued from license and gaso line taxes. By surplus is meant the amount over and above the sum necessary to pay interest on out standing bonds and provide for the sinking fund for their retirement. This surplus is a steadily growing one, and this year showed an in crease of approximately one million dollars over last year. It stands to reason that as long as people con tinue to buy cars and burn gas that it will continue to increase and the more roads are built the mor3 money that will come from gas and license taxes. That is the basis on which High way Commissioner Frank Page be lieves that eventually the highway system can be made self-perpetuat ing. Sometime, in the near future, it is believed, the surplus will be big enough to care for maintenance and what new construction is neces sary, and that will mean "pay-as you-go." "Pay your taxes with pecans" !s the slogan of the North Carolina Pecan Growers Society. Another good reason for storing sweet potatoes in well constructed houses is that the declines rapidly in the fall when there is a flooded market. Registration Books Are Now Open The registration books are now open for the registration of voters. Very few new names are being placed on the books, nearly all voters having registered before the June » rinuiry.

Thirty-five per cent of the tobac co sold last week, according to Mr. McFarland's report, was "bottom primings." These grades are of course fired up and lifeless and are worth little for anything.

These grades possess ed more grain than they did last 1 season and thev sold a hundred per i rent higher than the corresponing grades did last year.
