Zeb and His Folks
What is IVachland going to do
about us part of the YViluiington
Ciiai!t:e highway?" somebody asks.
Aad t'.uu another listener suggested
(lull if they Uiiin't deride to build
the highway from l!ie liae of Lanes
boro Nj. 1 division to the Union
county line it might be possible to
bu.Id a bridge across the I'nchland
division. Uut it isn't the folks who
make the most noise that get the
;.io.t work done and it is possible
that the IVachland folk ere going to
pet form their part by d itg instead
of talking.
Since the road commissioners of
Monroe township have appropriated
$5.0"" for the highway and will ask
for a like amount from the State
funds, it begins to lock favorable for
a first-class road from the Anson line
to the Vance township line, and this
will mean that it's up to the road
supervisors and citizens of Vance
township to jM busy and (ill up that
gap.
It was appropriate that the Marsh-

' It locks like we are not going to
get enougii fish for our dinner," said
Bascom Marsh. We liad traveled
about forty miles and were on the
bank of the Yadkin river at Swift's
Island, about t-ix miles below the
Balin dam. and it was then one
o'clock in the afternoon and every
body already good and hungry. Bui
the nets were placed and it wasn't
long until the suckers and catfish be
gan to go into the sacks. Contz
Griffin was chief cook and fish scaler,
but he had some efficient lady as
sistants. He worked faithfully for
three hours aiound a hot fire on a
hot day. frying fish and making cat
fish stew. I told Conti that ir he ev
er needed another wife he'd find no
difficulty in getting his choice in that
community alter some of the women
over there had seen how he had per
formed that record breaking service
in handling cooking utensils, remain
ing cheerful and in the best of hu
mor all through the three hour
ordeal.
"That is the first cotton mill ever
erected In North Carolina," said a
member of the fishing party as we
approached a partly decayed build
ing near Swift's Island. The iloors
have fallen in but parts of the old
machinery are still to be seen, not
withstanding it has been thirty-five
years since it was abandoned. Trees
have grown up all around the mill
site and it is reached only by a toot
trail. Even the big mill race that
was blasted out of slate rock is part
ly tilled with surface and its sides
are covered with undergrowth. This
cotton mill was built by a Mr. Make
peace and near it was a grist mill
owned by Sam Christian. At one
time around the mill at Swift's Island
which is now a wilderness, was the
trading center for several adjoining
counties, before any railroads trav
ersed the State. In addition to the
cotton mill and grist mill there werehere
two or three stores in operation. The
frame of the old cotton mill building
Is made of best heart timber and the
cotton manufacturers of North Caro
lina ought to arrange to preserve this
pioneer building that was the first In
all the State of what now represents
the greatest manufacturing industry
within our borders.
"It's our turn to have a good crop
year in 1917," said a farmer who has
been watching events closely. He re
calls that we had an exceedingly wet
year in 1901 and a distressingly short
crop was made. The next year sea
sons were jUFt about right and a
bumper crop was produced. Inas
much as we had a wet year last year
and made but little this farmer
thinks another good crop is due this
year, and if seasons continue as they
have up to date It looks now like the
harvest will be good. There has cer
tainly been no lack of vegetables for
the past four weeks. The price of
cabbage six weeks ago was more than
ten cents a pound and now you can't
give away cabbage unless you'll agree
to furnish meat with them. And other
garden truck Is equally as plentiful.

lime prices, which he declared will
"mean victory or defeat," will be
solved rightly throurb. patriotic co
operation. - ,
In unmeasured terms. Mr. Wilson
condemned the shipcwneis of the
country for maintaining a schedule
of ocean freight rates which has
placed "almost insuperable obsta
cles" in the path of the government.
"The fact is," he asserted, "that
those who have fixed war freight
rates have taken the most effective
means in their power to defeat the
armies engaged against Germany."
Coal production and other industries
for whose products the government
has negotiated price agreements are
not taken up In detail by the Presi
dent, his appeal dealing only with
the general principles involved in the
determination of war prices.
