Several months ago the state high 'ray 'commission adopted aroad from Gann’s store to Leaksville, begin ning at Gunn’s stone and running around on the ridge by Berry and on1 by Thomas’ store into the town of Leaksville, going into Leaksville at what is known as Hamilton street. The Contract for this road was lei by the state highway commission but on account of the way the roa#*led intp the town of Leaksville, objec tions developed on the part of cer tahf interest at Spray. A strong pro test was made by C. R. Rfcfver and others representing this interest. At ong with this protest argument was produced trying to induce the stati highway commission to build the road s0 it would approach Leaks ville township iowter down the river, crossing the river hs favored by cer-. t*in interest. The r^presentation was made to Mr. Elwood Cox, this lower route, sometimes cnilgj&Bjp Prfink Anderson route, entering into LieaksviHe township at tteffifljjfc- fav ored by these parties could built djeager than it be built by Thomas store going into Leaksville at Hamilton strewT After this pro test was made to Mi-. Elwood Cox, district, and Mr. Page, the chairman of the said highway commission, they decided to have another and full survey of all possible routes for this road including- the one favored by other parties. The state highway commission did send engineers and surveyed the Mebgne, or Frank An derson route, and also surveyed a road known as the Fowcht Hill route Upon making this new survey, it Was found that a nearer route, by nearly two miles, could be gotten between Leaksville and Gunn’s store by going via- what is known as the Fowcht HtH instead of going by Ber ry, and that the cost of building the gard to the location of the road; that is, as to whether it should go by Berry or the Fowcht Hill. The greater majority of the people tak ing an interest In it, were for the Berry route. More than two thou sand citizens petitioned the state highway commission for the Berry route, into Leaksville at Hamllto. street. No one In the county seen, ed to want the road to go on the Fowcht Hill route. A few days before the state high way commission met to determine the matter, a committee from the Keidsville Commercial and Agricui from the Berry section went to see tural Association and several citizens. Mr. Cox to try to get him to build the road by Berry rather than via the Fowcht Hill. Mr. Cox expressed his preference for. the Berry route and so told this committee bat o account of the difference In cost of these two routes, that unless Rock inham county would pay the differen ce, he would have to recommend building the road via Fowcht Hilt. road Dy Berry trom lliomas store would be possibly $40,000.00 more than to build it via the way known as Fowcht Hill. The exact difference in cost has been found later to bo $31,600.00 The engineers, after these surveys were made, reported that the Anderson route was im practicable both from excessive cost and location. On account of this saving in the cost of building the road by the state from Leaksville to Gunn's store, Mr. C-ox gave out the impression that he could not ask the state to build nearly two miles of road to connect Wentworth and Leaksville, even though the Berry route was the preferable route. On account of this intimation from Mr Cox, much interest developed in 'Ve NATIONAL 'tBy Associated ctM WASHINGTON, .Tan.

ANOTHER GLOVENIA STREET ACCIDENT MONDAY *'A* targe truck belonging to the Carolina Cotton and Woolen Mills Company struck a Ford car driven by a Mr. Isley of Greensboro which came together with considerable force demolishing the Ford, at the junction of Boone road and Glov enia street, Monday afternoon. No body was hurt although the two men in the Ford had a close call. The truck turned up Boone road toward Spray, while the Ford was coming from Spray and heading for Leaksville. Mr. Isley claims the truck turn ed the corner too quickly and hit his car when he was on his own side of the street, whether this claim is well founded or not, we were unable to learn. T.he truth is that the corner is one of the most dangerous places in the street and scarcely a day passes without an accident of some kind. The town should'put “Stop” Sigm on Glovenia street and “Slow Down” signs on Boone road, and if this does not re’medy the matter then the corners should be rounded to give more room. Nearly every body, it is said, exceeds the speed limit as they pass this corner, and some one is apt to meet death there most any day. . _ On last Saturday evening Mr. end Mrs. R. E.

DEFEAT OF DYER BILL LAYS OBLIGATION1 ON SOUTHERN STATES States of South land should make good promises made ' At Washington. MUST STOP MOB MURDERS IN SOUTH Now that the Dyer Bill is dead, it is distinctly up to the States to make good the promises and profess, ions of their senators and represen tatives, which is that the States themselves will settle this problem, settle it right and for all time, il left tp themselves. Here is a chance to vindicate “State rights” and to preserve the great principle invol ved therein—so long cherished as a vital thing in the South—Atlanta Georgian. With the Dyer Bill out o f the way and the State left in control 0f law enforcement, it is incumbent upon the authorities of every State to see to it that life is sacred and that those guilty of murder singly or in mobs are brought to justice —Our representatives were right in hold ing that the South would itself pro tect its Negro popnlation and that the law was unnecessary. It is in cumbent upon us to show that they were right in that representation. The duty already resulting upon the South was thus emphasized. It is the duty of all good citizens and all officials to preserve the good name of the South by standing for the orderly processes of the law and the outlawing of lynching—Raleigh r*ews ana uoserver. The Dyer Bill is a sympton of which the States would do well to take serious account. The crime of lynching is a disgrace and a danger to the whole Nation,, and the State? must find a way to put an end to it. If they do not show their capacity to deal with this evil, ultimately measure of the general chat ••tar •i'tfie Dyer dill will be enact ed by a stretching of the Constitu tion—Charleston Post. On» the face of the ostensible cause of the surrender of the meas ure, there is a challenge to the Sta tes in which lynching occur—The "Surrender” of the Dyer Bill ad vocates ought to make the anti lynching law more effective in ev ery State—not a federal law, but the already ample State law, if citi zens 90 will it, can meet and master the mob spirit—The challenge is upon the Sfistes, which properly stand upon their rights; the stamp ing out of lynching is put upon the honor, the pride, the character of the people of the several States— Savannah News. me L»yer Bill has failed of enact ment, but if lynching and mob out lawry is permitted to continue to shock the conscience and sensibilit ies of the American people from time to time, it is as certain as the coming of tomorrow that sooner or later a means will be found where by the forces of federal law will be invoked to put an end to it.—< Atlanta Constitution. Lynching is a question that should be taken up by the States. That is preferable. But something must be done that will put an end to murder by mobs. If it cannot be done—if it is not done—then our boasted civilization is spurious, counterfeit, a fraud,—(Knoxville Tribune. The remedy is with the States, but unquestionably, if they do not ex ercise their rights and meet their duties in putting down mob violence their .powers will finally be forefit ed and those who say that democrat ic government is only a beautiful dream will be justified by the estab lishment of a monarchy in form, whatever may be its name.—Ashe ville Citizens. In their assaults on the Dyer An ti-lynching Bill the Southern men. bers of Congress asserted that the South is able to cope with the mob evil. The South can put an end to lynching once it sets its hands de termingly to the task. It should tack le this problem in dead earnest an. show that its statesmanship is equal to the situation. We cannot hope thqtj filibusters will always be eifec • tive in defeating the enactment of a federal anti-lynching law. There is only one safe way to forests!' such action and that way is to be found- in the stem handling of lyn ching parties by Southern courts— Asheville Times. iME ■
