Mount Airy New. m. Aicr. w. C-. M«y It*, in J. Be JOHNSON A §ON rwluilltfi SUBSCXOTION EATM: Om y«ar B* Um p—»fftoi it Mi Ml Atrjr, M. tt, mtm Ik* Hi 4 O—tm* ef March S.WHL AS WIS* AS sutram No mi CM afford to Ignore that fact that than la a mm problem her* to tha South. far • bum tat paaKton a* piaaa of Influence to to My wajr gira Ma conaent to anything that ereo auggeata mm equality la fatal. Thia waa itrikingly UhiatMtod this waak whan Prof Lindeinan a Uachar h» tha North Carolina College tor Woman at Qreenaboro raetgned Ma poaitton and will now leave tha atato and hint work alaawhara, thua puttting himielf to arach inaonvanlanca and depriving tha college of a moat valuable toachar. All thia coma* about for tha raaaon that tha pivfaaaor parmlttad hla »uiu cook to |lva a party to bar friend* to tha baaamant of the Llndeman Soma Tha negro woman waa making tha baaamant room* har homa wbUa fill ing tha plam of a cook for tha family. And negro lika aha wan tad to gtra a party juat lika tha whlta fotka war* in tha habit of doing. 8ha waa given permlaaion and 'nvited in her lady friandi who procaadad to an joy them aelvea In tha baaement room of tha homa. Now it would ba hard to pick a flaw in all thia, and no doubt Prof. Llndaman and hla family in juetly Indignant at tha hurrah that haa bean railed. Aa aoon aa It waa known that the negro party had been held in tha home inch a commotion waa made that the wirae carried a big atory to every part of the nation, making a great diiplay of the fact and greatly exaggerating the whole affair. The good profeaaor may ba wiae and a man of great learning, and capable of much uaefallnaea to the world, but he haa not yet learned that he cannot trample on the prejudicea of a people and get by with tt The prejudicea may be entirely unraaaon able and unjuat and all that, but the people of thli aouthland are no^yet ready to permit anything that lavon of negro equality. Of course it took a mint of exaggeration to make the cook'a party appear to be a atop in the wrong direction, but It will bo wiae for men from the north to let the cook'a hunt other quartan in the future. TO THE FRIENDS OF PORTER GRAVES The friend* of Solicitor S. Porter f Graves may not need any reminder to cause them to be active in his Inter est*. And yet it it well to not forget that a Solicitor ia too buiy with the duties of the office he fills to make a canvaas. And then it is never con sidered in the best of taste for Judges and Solicitors to be too active in the campaigns when they stand for re-election. The primary that will determine who shall prosecute the criminals in this county and district for the next four years will be held the first week in June, and from this date to the primary Mr. Graves will be busy every day holding court* in the dis trict and will have no time to make speeches or to do any kind of work in his own interest without neglecting the duties of hi* office. 1te has just completed a two weeks term of court in this county and will be in Rocking ham county for two or three weeks where he will prosecute several mur der cases and every day of his time is fully taken up during this month, thus leaving him no time to work for his own interests in the coming primary. The men who know of his great ability as a prosecutor and able de fender of the rights of law and order ahould not forget to apeak a good word for him and to take care of his interests, for it is no time to be plac ing the important office of Solicitor in the hands of untried men. If the friends of Mr. Graves are at ' all active there is not the leaat doubt about his nomination, and if nominat ed he will most surely be elected, for he is known to be one of the beat officers in the state. Aged Lady at Rest Miss Matilda Cleveland Franklin of route S died at her home Sunday evening after being confined to her bed about a year. She was tt yean of age, and a daughter of the late Wiley and Mar/ Tolltver franklin of thle county. She is survived by three sisters Miss Judy Franklin who with Mias Tilda occupied the old home and Meedairies Pattie Tollivsr and Jim Callaway of Concord Tsori, and one brother Mr. Shade Franklin of n niljilli Va. The funeral was conducted at the how Monday afternoon by Rev. D. V. Mm and the resalaa laid to reet ia the PrankHn family graveyard.

Years. >fa ha, many timaa, pat la a whole day mak ing thla aasee trip with a haraa aad boggy over roach, etegla track, Wily, rocky roada. Now ovary atraaai la bridged wtth a food steal bridge aad tha roada wind aboot tha hllla wKh an aaay grade that auka It praetic ahal to ctaaa tha country in any direction without making a ahlft of gaara. And all aloag tha roada whara onca atood little thro* room hooaaa now oaa aaaa many OMxtem homee and broad, fartlia flalda that ahaw, beyond question, that many of oar paopia have mada wondarful prograaa to tha art of aclentiflc farming. Thla (action of aaoatry la blaaaad thla yaar with a crop of fruit that blda fair to aurpaaa anything wa hava had for years. Thla la now tha 10th day of May, and whila It la not Im poaaibla to hava killing froat hara yot, it la not probahla. Every tree of every kind la loaded with froifl Tha laavaa ara about grown aad all nature la ■ preading itaalf in an affort to look good. Tha farms all along tha roada ■how that tha farm work la wall up with the timaa, for the laad is plowad and much of It planted. Last waak wa held the uaual spring term of court In tha county and It cauaad oar Jail houaa to be filled with men and women who must now serra terms on the roads or in confinement for thair paat deeds, la It aat strange that citixena who live under aoch ex ceptionally good coaditiona aa we have here will peraiat in living a life that aoetety must take them in hand and proceed to render dlacipline Jtost as if they arare children. Truly the crime wave ae«na to hava hit thee* parte aa hard aa it haa other sections. And truly the wsy of the transgreaaor !■ hav«l Many of our far away reader* may not have a very comprehensive idea of just what haa bean done here in the way of making rood roada. Wa had a talk one day recently with the county engineer, Mr. I. W. Barber who hat located many of the roada and who know* the country better, possibly, than any other man, and he iuiy* that If there were a* much a* fifty milea more new roads made thi* county would have a complete ■yitem of public highways. That would mean that every neighborhood and every citixen would live near a (rood road, not necessarily along one, but at a distance that he can eaaily make a road to the improved road. There must be not leas than 400 mfles of improved road in the county and but few home* are more than two mile* from some improved road. And our county official* *eem to be wide awake to keeping all thaae road* in proper condition* for every where there is evidence of the road scrape and the drag. There are some bad places but not many. Here in our own town, where the people are supposed to be progressive, the visitor back home would find the worst roads that could be found in the whole county. Our town people Hcem to be unwilling to put up the taxes sufficiently high to make a system of streets inside the town limits that are anvthing like as good as the roads of the country districts. Once you get out of town, the saying (foes, you are all right, but the big problem is often how to get out of town. For months now some of the leading outlets that connect with the county roads are almost Impassable But all thia will change in tima, for the "tight wads" may control for a time, but the spirit of progress is like a great river—it sweeps through the land with an irresistible force and better conditions are as sure to come as the day follows the night. Gets Six Months for Soiling Liquor to Minor In the Recorders court Moodsy Judge McCargo sentencq^ Yancy Cobler to the roada for six months. The way the officer* caught this de fendant is aofeiething out of the or dinary. It SNOi that Cobler had in duced a small boy to boy • pint from him. Afterwards the boy be came drunk and when hi* father learned of It he forced hie son to tell all about the transaction which result ed In Cobler** arrest and conviction He appealed hit case to the Superior court and is now out on hood to swmit trial at Dobaon next October Friends of Hot.

II all goee wall with tha aala of tha bonda work la expected to begin by Jul) Finding Much Liquor A cog haa dipped somewhere in the machinery of our local boot-la* gers and whiskey dealers—a mis understanding may have arisen MBrwhtrr down the line between th« jobber and the buyer.

Tuesday morning people passtnj by noticed flvs fire-gallon ol cani in a bunch of buahe* near Sides sail on Needmore street, and on eraahia tion it was found to be liquor. Sherifl Ashburn was notified and took chargt of the valuable contents. Just how come this liquor at that partienUH place or why it was there is a ques tion that no one haa answered Possibly It was pot there for deliver) to some one who failed to make a gat eway with the cargo before ita dis covery. Len Taylor Is alao mixed up witi the law. Officers made a aaarch ai hi* premises Tuesday and found that he had 16 gallons on band. They al most caught him in the act of bottlini it up for sale, be just having finished this work. The liquor waa In half gallon fruit Jars, and a few bottles ta pints—eince liquor haa gotten ehaapei along with many other art idea il teems to be the custom to peddle H ta half-galkxi quantities instead of tlx pint* as was the custom during th< time of more balmy daya. Len U now in jail in default of bond enc talks freely of his trouble. He admit! his guilt but being ar invalid makei the exruae that it waa an easy way U make a living when he wa* unable tc work. A. E. Tilley left Tuesday for Dur ham to make arrangements with Um eommiaaionrr* of that county to um the prisoner* who are in jail at Dobaon and must serve a road sen ' tence.
