Messrs. C. E. Rushing nnd L. R Huggins have proven to the people of Lanes Creek township that the drag Is the proper thing to use In working roads. They dragged a sec tion of road from the Five Forks up the Landsford rond for 2 miles one day last week, which took only so noticeable that a stranger will a few hours time, and the result Is observe the better condition of the road as soon as he strikes the dragged section. There Is no doubt about the split log -drag being worth several times Its costs and we would suggest that every overseer In the county secure one for his section. Mr. Lex Gaddy of east Marsh ville township, and Miss Eula I'hlfer daughter of Mr. M. F. Phlfer, who lives one mile north of town, were married Thursday at the home of the officiating minister. Rev. T. P. Little. These are deserving young people and we wish them much success and happiness. M. F. I'hlfer & Co. are making preparations to occupy a brick build ing which Mr. J.W. Hasty will erect on the site where their old stand was recently burned and will again engage in the grocery and meat market business. Mr. H. W. Tucker of Monroe has purchased a half interest from his on, Mr. Marlon Tucker, in the Climax Lumber Company's plant and will move his family from Mon roe to Marshville and give the bus iness his personal attention. Shot a Man for Wild Turkey. Mr. William Tarlton of Goose Creek was shot by Mr. Raymond Hinson last Friday, being mistaken for a wild turkey. Both the men were on Rocky River hunting wild turkeys. One was going up the riv er and one down, and neither knew that the other was out. Peering through the bushes where he heard a noise, Mr. Hinson thought he saw a turkey and quickly fired. He had glanced at the hand of Mr. Tarlton, and not knowing that any one was in the woods except him self, fired at It. One shot went 1MB Mr. Tarlton's forehead and two In his hand, and though the wounds were not serious, he had a close call. 11IG TEMPERA XCK SPEAKER. Hon. J. ".

XOW IT IS II TO IS. We Mu4 h Ahead and Not Hack If We Ever Have Any Belter IhwuU Than We oW Hate. To the F.ditor of The Journal: The question of good roads In this county has received more or less att.su ion for the past decade. The first step forward was the or ganization of the chain gang.whlch has proved to be a good institu tion. But nothing has been done with the except lon of grading to make permanent good roads. I have no criticism to make, however, as the chain gang has done as much as could be expected with the means at hand. The question of good roads has been agitated several times, and 1 recall especially an ar ticle by Mr. J. M.Fairley. the vet eran road commissioner, who in my opinion has done more for roads than any other man in the county, both by giving them personal at tention, and by talking aud writ ing on the subject. I claim no superior knowledge of road building, but simply want the question agitated and brought to a head. Nothing In this article is meant for a plan to act on, but should be considered in the light of a suggestion only. In 1909 the Gen eral Assembly of North Carolina passed an act authorizing the com missioners of Union county to cull an election for a bond Issue. A pe tition to the commissioners asking for an election has been presented, aud an election Is assured. Now or never !s the time to make the ques tion a burning, living and vital Is sue. Over two thousand years ago, the Romans conquered what is now known as England, established cit ies, built good) roads, and thorough ly Romanized the country. Toduy no vestige of Roman civilization re mains except the roads, some of which are in use to the present day. These old roads of England stand today the greatest monument to Ro man achievements. Long before the days of Rome and until the present day, taxation has been zealously guarded by the people. Many times issues of great moment havo died an ignominious death at the ballot box, simply be cause taxes were raised a few cents on the tnousatid. So with the issue of bonds for good roads, there seems to be a misconception, a fear that taxes will be raised to an alar ming extent. Such is not the case as will be shown later.lt Is simply a question of getting more for the amount we are already expending. Hie present system of road h-llu lng Is wholly inadequate, because if continued Indefinitely we would never have good roads. Why keep on then with this expenditure, when at the same cost lasting roads that will stand the test oft i mo can bo built. Monroe township has it road tax of $7,0(10. and the other eight townships average about $1 otm each, which makes a total of $15, (Hut expended each year for roads. I'nlon county is free from debt, which can be said about but few other progressive counties in the State. Bonds for $200,000 can be Issued bearing a low rate of in terest, snv 4 per cent The Inter est each year would be $8,000, and this amount from the $15,000 now being spent, leaves $7,000 to be ap plied to a sinking fund for taking up the bonds at maturity. At this rate It would take lessthan thirty years to take up the bonds, nnd taxes would not be Increased un lota. If It is best however to allow these taxes to be used as formerly, look at what a slight Increase the same amount can be raised. The taxable property In the county Is something between nine and ten mil lion dollars and the number of polls Is nearly $5,000. A tux of fifteen cents on the hundred, and 25 cents on each poll would aggregate each year over $15,000. Is the price of good roads too great! It seems useless to mention the mnnifold arguments for good roads, The most vital one, however, Is to visit a country that has them, and then see the concrete results. We need them to meet competition, off setting with good roads anyadvant ages neighboring towns and cities might have offering better hauling facilities, saving wear and repair. As an advertisement good roads stand without an equal. The mere Issuing of bonds by the county, would be the signal for comments from the press all over the State, Another thing not to be overlook ed, Is a fact that If the bonds are Issued, the money will be turned loose In this community at a dull season, and In a yearwhen money is scarce. Furthermore the money will stay here. The Increase In property values will be far over the amount of the bonds. There will be ample time for de ciding the direction, and kind of roads to be built, after the bonds are assured. This should be left In the hands ot a capable engineer. It may not be out ot place to say however, that on the Mecklenburg county line, sand beds can be found to furnish the raw material for a sand clay road to Monroe. The same is true from Pagcland; and by start ing at that end of the road the sand could be hauled as needed. The main thing Is to do some thing without further procastlna tion. Roads cannot be built In a single day or In a year, so if we want roads It Is high time starting to get them. Get your county pride stirred, look Into the matter, see If the taxes will become unbearable, talk, preach and pray over It. It is a fact that the Increase In axes will be so little that those who oppose will later be ashamed of their opposition. The election is assured, and It is time to show your color. Shall we let this op portunity pass by unheeded, or shall we. full of county pride, good citi zenship, the future benefit of our children, and the permanent up building of the country, make the most of It. TAX PAYER. .n Old Wagoner. Mr. J. Wesley Helms of Monroe has probably done more wagoning, especially of heavy machinery, than any man in the county. He has been wagoning for thirty-five years, and before the days of the railroads he made many long trips, and car ried a lot of heavy machinery. When Monroe was the distributing point for a forge section of country, he did a gre t deal ot hauling to South Carolina. This used to be the rail road point for the Haile mine and the Brewer mine. He was regularly employed for three years to wagon from beie to the Halle mine, nnd made two trips a week, with two teams, using from six to 12 mules each. Ho hauled the 100-horse pow er boilers from here to the Brewer mine, and in all has hauled over 100 boilers, and moved the same ones many times. His longest trip was about sixty miles. Ho hauled a boiler with a six-mule team from here to the Brewer mine once en tirely alone, and camped out ut night. The great boilers and rock crushers at the Haile mine were the heaviest loads he ever hauled. The day for long trips and heavy loads being over, Mr. Helms now confines himself to wagoning about town, especially to moving families and the "goods and chattels" that he can stow away on one wagon is something wonderful. News Around Stout. Correspondence. Mr. and .Mrs. J. M. Long ot Mon roe spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Elgin Thompson. Mrs. W. C. Gurley spent Friday and Saturday In Charlotte visiting relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gurley of In dian Trail spent Friday night with Mr. Surley's parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Gurley. Miss Annie Yundle returned home Saturday from I'ulonvllle to spend Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Yundle. We are petitioning the board of education for special school taxes, which will no doubt curry. Miss Rosa Blakeney of Monroe spent the week-end at Mr. and Mrs. W. O. V '-'-ld'i. Ten cents cotton Is causing the farmers to go to town with whnt cotton they have been holding. Miss Mangle Haywood Is visiting in .Monroe. Mr. J. E. Haywood has just com pleted a ware house aud will hand ie cotton seed meal, hulls, etc. Mr. Jim Helms of north Stout had the misfortune to lose a good nii'k cow on last Thursday. The Phlfer Brick Company Is re ceivlng new machinery almost dally lor the erection of a cable way t'oi the purpose of elevating clay to the mill. This will be a great Improve ment in the brick inniiufacl uring business here. ESljriUE. Flection for Good Roads, In response to petitions and to requests made personally by sever al citizens who appeared, headed by Mr. Ney McNceley, the county com missioners today decided to call an election for good roads. The date of the election Is set for Saturday March 23, and the amount of bonds is not to exceed $200,000, to run for forty years and bear four per cent interest. The tax rate can In no case exceed 25 cents and even this much will not be nessary to pay interest and create a sinking fund sufficient to pay the bonds and to keep the roads in repair af ter they are once built. If the peO' pie vote for goodronds the chain gang becomes a county affair and all free labor will be abolished. Roll up your sleeves and go to work to wipe out the mud tux. Will Have Sewerage Election. The hoard of aldermen last night unanimously passed the first read lng of a resolution for a bond elec Hon for sewerage. It will have to puss another reading at a regular meeting, and then the election will be called to vote $30,000 In bonds. At the same time the aldermen ac cepted the proposition of the South ern Engineering Company of Chat tanooga to make a preliminary sur vey nnd estimate and to superln tend the work In case the people de cide to go on with it..

A little boy of Mr. Sanford Row- ell, about 4 years old, living In the Tabernncle section of the county, was burned to death under peculiar circumstances Friday last. It seems that the little one had strayed out Into the lot and had gone Into the crib. A short time afterwards the crib was discovered on fire Inside. The mother rushed out but the fire had the child cut off from the door and the mother could not get to him and she had to stand by helpless and see the child burned to death. It Is supposed that the child struck a match In the crib, which Ignited the shucks or fodder. The mother made every effort to reach him, but all In vain.

How the Ctii Situation Aiqwurs to the I t-lb, u who stand Between the t. rower and the .Maimlm tur ready In Effect. It Is becoming more evident as the season progresses that the de cline which carried options below the nine-cent level over-discounted the present crop, ev.-n thoiild ft reach lo.Soti.ntiii bales. Earlier ill the season the f.ieiur of ully appeared to many to jus'.fy even lower prices and undoubtedly quo tations would hav- i onnniieii their downward course if the demand situation had remained unchanged from that of a ytar tgo. lur litis was not to be the case, as close stu dents of economies us well of cot ton conditions fort saw. .An unpre cedented yield at relatively cheap prices following the two under-sized crops at corner prices was us treat a stimulus to c.m.sump'i.m us last year's famine prices were to production a condition repeatedly emphasized in these advices, and which no doubt would sooner have been more generally recognized but for the overshadowing influence of the enormous quaiii'its of cotton which earlier in the season wep rushed to market. These first re ceipts, however, heavy us they were, were gradually al -sorbed, and the demand instead of being satisfied by them continued to increase, with the result that up to the present, eleven million bales have found a market, and still six months must elapse before even a bale of new cotton will be available. Foreign consumption, of course. Is accounta ble in a great measure for this,, but, far from being appeased, Europe still appears as hungry us ever for American cotton; and the present prospects Indicates a Fibuary ex port movement larger than for Janu ary. Daily Liverpool sales are running 10,000 to 18.000 bales, and although the demand from this source is un doubtedly responsible for much of the underlying strength of our spot markets, takings by American maiiii facturers are steadily Increasing, with every Indication that, home con sumption this year will exceed a shortage of about 5, 000, (hid bales. This belief is borne out by the steady improvement In the goods markets which for sot'ie time past has clearly indicated that the turn for the better Is definite and sub stantial with little likelihood of liny pertliauieiit setback until slocks throughout the country have been restored to normal proportions. The yarn markets, ten. are dechk' ly encouraging; Philadelphia re porting advancing prices with buy ers contracting for deliveries sixty days ahead. There Is a new price making ele ment, however, which must soon lr given consideration, and that. is. the prospects for the iii'Xt crop. It U admitted that climatl' conditions so far have been alm.ist id 'al, and t ho seasoning In the ground is exireme ly favorable for the best possible results. On the other hand, crop diversification is beinu str..ij:ly ur ged, price incentive lor a bin acre age is lacking and in consequence the strenuous preparations so no ticeable a year nno are conspicuous by their absence. Sales of fertili zers lire substantially behind of last, season, while a recent government report which quoted the price ot mules nt $5.50 a head less than last year Is certainly significant. Altogether the evidence which Is gradually coming to hand pretty clearly indicate the probability of a. material reduction in this year's crop area, although, as pointed out in last week's advices, the acreage prospects would be greatly Improv ed If prices should be further sharp ly advanced nnd maintained until close on to planting time. This, bow ever, Is something that only the fu ture can disclose to be governed by the natural law of supply ami de mand which can always be counted on to regulate values in the long run. In this connection It Is only fair to say that the legitimate de mand of spinners is still far from being satisfied. HENRY CLEWS & CO. New York.Feb. 8, 1912. North Carolina lcnds in PcIIagrn .Mortality. Washington, Jan. 28. Pellagra caused 368 deaths In the census bu reau's death registration area during 1910, of which 263 of the victims, or 71.5 per cent, were females. Of all the deaths from this cause returned for the registration area of the I'nited States In 1910, three tenths occurred In North Carolina municipalities of 1.000 population. The largest number of deaths regis tered were In Raleigh, 23: Durham, 17; Charlotte, 16, and Wilmington, 8. The city with the highest mor tality from this cause within the registration area was Atlanta, Ga., with 69 deaths reported. SiiihIImix nntl Scntict Fever.
