Reinhardt who pre sided oyer the good ; roads program, 4 which lasted, two Jbxrars.There ,were many speakers on' the good roads pro gram. . The principal address was by W. C Wilkinson, of Charlotte, State Highway Commissioner of this dis- ' trict. Mr. Wilkinson discussed road ' progress in North Carolina, which he 'considered, next to religion and edu- . , cation, of supreme importance; that i- ihe county with the. most good roads Was the most progressive county. He : said the reason Lincoln County's per manent road program was behind oth er eounties was because Lincoln Coun ty had not advanced money to the ' state for road building. He said the counties of Iredell, Gaston Catawba ' aid Mecklenburg had loaned the state ; more than 4 million s in order that roads ml Flit be built in these counties at once. . He told how Lincoln might assist in advancing the through-atate ' road program, in Lincoln County. He ' said that ' if Lincoln Commissioners : would turn over to the state highway commission as much as $125,000 tbat he Would guarantee a 16-foot hard rfaced road from' Linoclnton to High Shoals, via Pisgah connecting with the state road to Castonia, and a hardsurfaced road from Lincolnton : via Iron Station to near Alexis, con '. necting with the state road to Stan ley and Mt, Holly, He said he could '; use state, and federal funds on these ' two roads if this county would supple ment his fund with the sum of $125, ,,000. His' proposition was that for every dollar Lincoln would put up - building these two roads approxima tely thre- dollars would be spent from the state anTfederal road funds. After hearing various local speakers r Mr. Wilkinson arose a second time ' ,. and declared that of the 40 or 50 good - roads. meetings be had attended in his - district, he had never faced a more en thusiastic gathying for good roads than the one here. He said the state - engineer, Mr. Upton would advise ." with (Lincoln officials as to the best v way to proceed in their road building program if the county commissioners decided to build more roads here. ' He brought out tlie fact that where the soil " was of the right kind that a top ' soil road was as good as a bardsur- ' faced road, but tbat in sections where soil was hpt.of the proper grade noth- ' ing but a top soil road would ever y stand up the year around. Mr. Wil ' kinron advised that if Lincoln under took an extensive road building pro- ' gram on its own hook that experts in road building should be consulted, and that he would be glad to cooperating by having the state engineer consult and advise with Lincoln commission- t Following Mr. Wilkinson ' last speech President Love called on the O gathering to express confidence in the .-: Lincoln commissioners, and that 'all who desired the Lincoln Board to take favorable action in cooperating 'with the state and building also per- ikinent tounty roacs to uio I extent of from 200,000 to 400,000 to tUnd. Nearly the entire citizenship practically all talked favorable to a permanent road building program that would benefit the -'entire county by building through roads to the coun ty seat from every section. ' There were road enthusiasts from the ad joining counties present,and spSaking, Among them Gordon Lyerly of Ca tawba; Solicitor Jno. Carpenter of Gaston; Geo.'- Mauney of the Catawba county highway commission; Osmond Barringer of Charlotte, who accom panied Mr. Wilkinson to Lincolnton. All of the visitors spoke enthusiastic ally for permanent roads and stated that the way to get permanent roads was to build them. There was a flood of local oratory, a large number of citizens from all sections expressing themselves favor able to permanent road building and - e issuance of bands up to near half million jf found necessary by the com missioners, for: permanent roads, in cluding acceptance of the ataiga. pffer, J L. A aionas was among ine iucai speakers called ' on ' by. Chair man . Reinhardt. He saw - ro reasonable' argument againtit this county accepting federal and state aid as proposed by Mr. Wilkinson, and favored also more permanent roads in the county. Other local speeches along the same line were made by J. AT. Mullen, R. E. Proctor, '.'if Denver; Wm. Carpenter, West Lin coln; Harris Burgih; Mrs. S. H. Hop kins; State Engineer Cromer, W, H. Sigmon, I. B. Grier, John Abernethy, of the epunty; S. C. Beatty H. W. Weidner, R. B. Gates. Thia meeting was a- most enjoy able one to all present At is conclu sion a rising vote of appreciation was extended to Mr. Wilkinson, at the suggestion of Rev. Mangum, for his presence and for his interest in Lin coln road building. This meeting went on record for permanent roads and more perma ment roads, and if it represents the sentiment of Lincoln people as a whole there is a strong sentiment here for the county commissioners to co-oper ate with the state before some other county steps in ahead and secures the federal aid road fund allotment for this district for this year. There evi dently is strong sentiment favoring also the building by the county of a permanent road from Catawba river through the middle of the county to the extreme west end of Lincoln and that at an early date. TWO ARE KILLED IN . AIRPLANE ACCIDENT Americus, Ga., Feb. l.-nCarrol' J. Clark Jr., an Amerlcus business man, and J. W. Morris, of Pittsburgh, Pa., were instantly killed in an airplane accident at Souther field this af ter- 'Oon. '---'.-. The accident occurred within a few minutes after the two men took off at 5 o'clock this afternoon in Morris plane. The plane fell 500 feet and was on fire when it struck the ground. Those who saw the accident said that it appeared as if Morris was instruct ing Clark in flying when the accident occurred, the ship performing a num ber of gyrations said to characterize the movements of a plane under an unexperienced pilot .. , At Souther field it was said that Morris was believed'to be an aviation corps reserve officer. Morris" came here only a few days ago arid had been making observation flights over the City. .--;---,' '. ; -.. '''-"''.

Mullen on February 1st took charge of the Lincolnton postoffice as postmaster, succeeding John K. Cline, who had filled this re sponsible position for 8 years and 10 months. - Mr; Cline was appointed April ' 1, 1914, and served since con tinuously, The weight of responsibi lity being lifted, Lincolnton's war pe riod postmaster, was in a happy mood Thursday. He was checked out and Mr Mullen checked in by Inspector W. B. Garrison on the 1st, and was talk ative and pleased at a compliment paid him by -the inspector who re marked that the affairs of the office were found in good shape. The bal ancing of books showed the ex-postmaster 95c to the good. The Lincoln ton office has grown greatly during Mr. Cline"s postmaster .ship. The yearly postal receipts were $7,707 in 1914; last year's postal receipts were more than doubled, or $16,000, this not including the money orders, etc. The local office is now a second class postoffice, and if the next 8 year's growth keeps pace with the past 8 years this city has some grow-, ing ahead, but it likely to more than do this. " .- . '.'-'-. HONORS ARE ABOUT EVEN IN THE ECONOMIC BATTLE OF FRENCH AND GERMANS Duesseldorf, Feb. 1. Honors were about even on the twenty-second day of the gigantic economic battle now being waged between the French and Germans. - Sober second thought! is increasing and the scarcity of food and growing unemployment today caused a body of German workers to make their first appeal to the French for assistance since the troop entered the Ruhr. "-.' , Six thousand paper mill workers, threatened with closure of the Dues seldorf plant owing tq lack of coaT, sent a delegation to General m- goutte, requestingthatthe French supply fuel necessary for corilffiuance of work. General Degouttee an swered that the German railway men were responsible for' the plight of the working people by failure to transport coal into Duesseldorf. ' ; The French have never prevented their corrirads frorii working, but, in the end, General Degouttee promised he would have coal brought to tne paper mills. . Thn Carmans Scored When M. Frantzen. one of the leading engin. ears of the French oconomic mission, speaking officially to the correspond ents, admitted that the worK oi tne mission depended upon the return to the Ruhr of the coal syndicate and co- ooeration with the mission, virtually admitting that the French were pow erless to work the Ruhr industries without the Germans. The output of. the mines is gradual ly dwingling, empty cars are no where to be found, but the food situa tion appears ta be the greatest argu ment favoring surrender of the popu lation to the French terms. t: ; The French Quartermaster's depart ment has issued information that the supply service, to the French army of occupation is operating normally, five trains of foodstuffs, sufficient for the army's, needs, reaching the Ruhr today. The French uthorities have again informed the Germans they are unable io transport food to the Ruhr to feed the civilian population, their organization being able to meet only the army' requirements, adding Unt if the railwaymen ; continue tWuv strike, causing their own com patriots, io starve, the responsibility id theirs. The Germans are restorting to acts of violence. Another attempt to burn the roundhouse at Maycnce was partly successful today, while a tier man, caueht in the act of trying to set fire to the Duisburg roundhouse and locomotive shops, was struck over the head with a. rifle butt by. a Belgian sentry and his skull frac tured. The sentry reported that when ordered to - throw up his nands, ne rushed and tried to disarm him. The German was removed to a hospital and will probably die. Interchangeable Mileage Is To Be Restored on March 15. Washington, Jan 31. Railroads were ordered today by the Interstate Commerce commission to resume the practice of selling - interchangeable mileaee books good for 2.500 miles of travel at reductions of 20 per cent from the regular passenger rates. Sale of the books must begin March 15, the commission decided. A num ber a small railroads were excluded from the requirements of the order because of their financial inability o meet the reduction. Practically all of the class one roads however, must establish the reductions. WITH THE UGISLATURE Bowies's Railroad ' Bill To Redeem Lost Provinces Starts in House; The Judicial Bill Passes Senate. Raleigh, Feb. L-r-Lost Provinces scored a rediscovery, in the house to day when Representative Bowie, of Ashe, presented a "bill to be entitled an act to redeem the countries in northwestern North Carolina without roalroad facilities, knows as "the lost provinces' of NortU Carolina." The caption of lCrlines pretty near ly gives the character of the bill. The plan of redeeming these forgotten countries is "by authorizing the con struction by the etate of a railroad, which, in connecting with the rail roads from northwestern North Caro lina to eastern North Carolina, and coal fields into wesjfern, central and eastern parts of North Carolina, and to aid in the completion and construe-1 tion of certain roads; in northwestern North Carolina, in which the state al ready has a pecuniary interest." Mr, Bowie itemizes the Btate's "pecuniary interests'' On the Elkin and Alleghany, from Elkin going to: ward Sparta, 15 miles, of which is in operation and in addition to which the grading has been done on three miles, the state owns $303,000 in stock re sulting (rom convict labor. In-the Statesville Air Line running from Statesville toward Mount Airy, the state has an equity of $132,400, the work" of convict labor. In the Watauga and Yadkin Valley going to Boone froni North Wilkes boro 29 miles equipped for operation, the . state has 652 shares of stock which cost $55,200. And the turnpike from North WilkesWo ,to Jefferson, in which the state gave convict labor amounting to $63,810 ; The bill prescribing -the method of financing the road empowers any county, town, municipality or town ship through or riear which "any of the proposed roads n)ay be located and constructed unde the provisions of chapter 67 '- iubficribe to and take stock in said", cohipany when so formed and in this manner raise the f uflds-aufficienfe tOpJfltbe, stock- re quired by this act to be furnished be. fore the state subscribes its stock in said company, as hereinafter provid ed." v. - ';': .; .. -';' The state does not become a parti cipant in this construction until at least 51 per cent of the stock has been raised by "person, firm or corporation, county, town or Jtownshlp." Upon evi dence of good faith and the payment of this amount of money for construc tion of one or more roads.the state will subscribe to 49 per cent and issue seri al bonds "payable in not less than 10 or more that 40 years from the date of issue." The bonds bear not ex ceeding 5 per cent and are in $100, $500 and $1,000 denominations. The bill meets the Interstate Com- merce clause by completing a trunk line. The road or roads adapted would connect with the Winston-Salem divi sion of the Southern somewhere near Mount Airy, or vnth the Southern at Statesville or Taylorsville, and would touch the Norfolk and Western at West Jeffersonr or at some point on he Vhginia and Tennessee line, to connect either with the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio or the Virginia and Southewestern, or . the Louisville or Nashville, or any other railroad company that may be hereafter be formed. This was much the most important thing that the house had today. Rep- resentative Bowie regards the bill the most importarrtrnieasure which will come before the assembly. He has spent all of two years since he made a move in the house in working out some plan by which the redemption of the lost country may be compassed. The following bills were passed on third reading: Validating bond issue of Jonesboro school district, Lee county; authoriz ing the commissioners of Henderson county to issue bonds to refund float- ind indebtedness; authorizing the city of Hendersonville to issue- water bonds validating Edgecombe county bonds; amending the charter of Kings Moun tain and abolishing the corporation of East Kings 'Mountain; enabling the commissioners of Madison county to provide funds for working roads; re lating to public improvements in the town of Rockingham; authorize San ford , sDecial school -district, Lee county, to issue bonds to build school houses for negroes; validating con struction bonds of Henderson county; authorizing the board of commission ers of Henderson county to refund out standing bonded indebtedness.
