It is only fair to show a proper amount of resbect for the opinions of others. But the opinion even of good men dees not always settle a matter. People now-a-days more than ever, want tjhe facts and failing in this they cease to be content, and then turn naturally to suspision. Once suspicion breaksi. out and men be come distrustful of their neighbors, false im pressions arise, this then is followed by con clusions which sure wrong, because .based on -- f*daeh<k& arrettte^publitrfiSrfttr short*' of confusion. Whap a man is in this condition, he will believe most anything he hears that is bad. He is apt to assert that everybody is crooked. There is very little use in trying to convince him that he is wrong. He has about passed the stage when facts appeal to him. Facts did not reach him in time. There may be some men in this fix today. Leaksville Township has had a remarkable growth the past few years. When R. E. Wall became chairman of the Board of County Com missioners, there was mud, shoe-top deep, from beyond the covered bridge across Dan River, through the towns of Leaksville and Spray, all the way to Draper, and fpr miles beyond Dra per—one continuous stretch of dirty, inkish mud for several months in the year — with rough, frozen roads in winter—and dust, inches thick in summer, for each passing wind to blind, chock and poison one who would venture out at certain times. Mr. Wall, probably as much or more than any other man in the county, is to be thanked for starting the good roads movement in this county. Under his administration the county i^pued many bonds and put the money into good roads and into school buildings. In due course of time Mr. Wall retired from the Board, but the work kept right on, be cause the people wanted more good roads. They just demanded that they be taken out'of the mud. Delegation after delegation appeared be fore the Board every time they met—pleading for better roads and for more of them, It was almost impossible for the Commissioners to re sist these demands. Strong influential delega tions would tell the Commissioners they were entitled to what they were demanding. They would not take “no” for an answer. Nobody cared anything about the bonds that had to be issued and sold to satisfy the de mands of good, well meaning, honest, hard working taxpayers throughout the county de manding roads. Finally, when certain sections' got what they wanted in the way of roads, bridges and schools, a storm arose very suddenly and there has been nothing but a contmuous turmoil ever since—all aimed at the present Board.

OLD BIBLE MADE AVAILABLE FOR S’*UDY BY CAMERA’S AID (By Associated Press) Ann Arbor, Mich., Feb. 9.—The modern art of the camera has come to rescue the oldet known Bible from the inevitable deterioration of the years.
