Net to be d*leat»d in the teat
•kinniah in tha light for roads Mr.
Folger has now before th* hens*
committee on roads a bill that would
add Sfi far osnt more Mileage to state
•fdfsi of roads and ao distribute the
■aase as to relieve those oountiea of
Dm state which have been diecrhni
nated against in the ratio of mileage
and hard-eurface roada. And It la
further required that these additional
roads to be taken over shall be des
ignated by the county governing
bodies, and further that the State
Highway Commiarion •hall connect
with the state roads of adjoining
atetoa which are built to the North
-Carolina line.
The adoption of this measure would
help to bring about a better feeling
with the counties in that It would
, give them mm say about where the
tt per cent additional mileage was to
ha located.
The lagielature has undar discus
sion a state-wida Australian ballot
law, and the content over It bids fnir
to be warm. A law has been paaaed
to require all wagooa, buggiaa and
ether vehicles drawn by hor sea, mule*
or cattle to ha equipped with a light

both bodiee without any opposition

near having a serious *kMm( and

dinner to his father who it maployad

baton the noon hour, boy-4ike he paid
little notice where he was walking
and stepped on a trolley wire just as
it started skyward with a big atone
on the - other end. Hi* feat ware
jerked from the ground, the father's
dinner spilled all over the place, and
the wire had him going up, and in
danger of falling from it. But he
grabbed the wire with both hands and
hung on with a viae grip, and hung
suapended SO feet In the air for aev
eral moments until the trolley engi
neer could he signalled to let him
back to earth, no wane off for his ex

he had time to think what a narrow
