Mr. Newland on Good Roads.
Some things said by Mr. New
land in a speech before the good
roads convention at Asheville.
Lieutenant-Governor W. C.
Newland addressed the conven
tion. He told of the turning pike
in progress of instruction now
from Lenoir to Blowing Rock.
They now have $65,000 raised to
macadamize this road, which he
hoped will be a starter for good
roads in the county, this money
being raised by subscription. He
was of the opinion that taxation
or bond issue is the only way to
get good roads. He condemned
the old system of building road
as out of date and impracticable.
He stated that Caldwell county
is being hampered in its develop
ment because of bad roads. He
stated that the reason the cost of
living is so great now is that
people are coming to town and
leaving the farms. He predicted
that if good roads are construct
ed people will not forsake the
farms; they will then raise their
own "hog and hominy" instead
of getting it as now from the
West. He thought that the price
of living would be reduced if
good roads were constructed, that
the rush of the people to the city
would be stopped as there would
be no need to go to the city as
country life would be more desir
able.

Mr. J. A. Martin Raises Bid on
Elk Mountain Mills.
Asheville, Oct. 7.—Receivers
of the Elk Mountain cotton mills,
a corporation located 5 miles be
low Asheville, which has been in
the hands of receivers for sever
al months and which recently
was sold at public outcry for
$96,000, have reported to the
court that they have~ a private
bid of $144,000 for the property
and recommend that the bid be
accepted. After the public sale
of the property for $96,000 the
receivers recommended that the
bid be not accepted and the court
promptly acting upon this advice
rejected the bid. Afterwards
the receivers under instructions
from the court sought a sale of
the property at private sale and
brought here representatives of
a number of well known corpor
ations to look over the mills and
make bids. Several bids were
made. That of Mr. J. A. Mar
tin of Hickory for $144,000 being
tke best submitted, the receivers
recommend that it be accented#
It is probable that the matter
will be acted upon at once.-Char
lotte Observer.
Two Lenoir Citizens in Race
For judgeship.
Lenoir, Oct. 7.—People here
are beginning to discuss politics
and especially the candidates for
judgeship for this judicial dis
trict. It is understood that
Judge Council, whose term ex
pires next year, will not stand
for re-election. For his place
Lenoir will have two candidates,
Capt. Edmond Jones and Mr.
Lawrence Wakefield. Both of
these gentlemen are highly qual
ified for this exalted position by
intellectual endowment, educa
tion and experience. Both are
men who have held important
places of trust and honor. Each
is ripe in the knowledge of the
law; each has his friends and ad
mirers and each will receive
strong support. The ultimatum
will be watched with interest.

General Taylors Horse.
Mr. Nelson Powell, who has a
wonderful memory and is an au
thority on things of the olden
time, tells us that the fine white
horse that President Zacharay
Taylor owned when he was elect
ed President, was raised in this
county, then Burke. In 1838,
Maj. E, P. Miller, who was order
ed with his company, to assist in
removing the Cherokee Indians,
had a man named jrinway, in
the company who acted as quar
termaster of the commissary de
partment and he owned the fa
mous white horse. He sold the
horse to General Scott and at
New Orleans, Gen. Scott sold
him to Gen. Taylor. When Gen.
Taylor was elected to the presi
dency he took the horse to Wash
ington where he was much ad
mired, having become with pass
ing years perfectly white and
was known as "old Whitie."
When he died he was buried
with military honors, a detach
ments of troops firing a salute
over the grave.—Lenoir News.
