FRIDAY. OCTOBER 31, 1913
Everybody's going. to working for
the emancipation of trie coonty and
state from the slavery of mud.
The schools of the county will be
closed on November 5th and 6th
and the-men teachers and boys will
work the. roads and the lady teach
era , and girls will "prepare dinner
end spend the remainder of the
time in beautifying th school rooms
and grounds.
It isjto be i regretted that the athf
letic-relatjons between the VUnivef-
sity oi. worm ' vU.irouna ana ; me
North Carolina College of. Agricul
tural and Mechanical - Arts ,: have
ag an been severed.' It would be a
matter of gratification to tne peo
ple of the State if instead of strain
ed relations the tytfo colleges main
tained by the State could be placed
upon grounds of friendly competi
tion in athletic SDOrts. ; . If. as has
been charged, either or both Insti
tutions have broken the fair rules
in regard to men who are allowed
to take part in intercollegiate meets
these conditions should be. speedily
remedied. The people are anxious
for North Carolina colleges to excel
in everything but want it done fair
ly and honorably.
Ndv. 5th and 6th 1913 will long
be remembered in the history of
North Carolina.
We reckon that you will get a
Journal next week but if youdont
it will be because we are working
the roads.
It seems as if everybody's going
to be doing it November 5th and
and 6th. .
The proof of the, fact that the
world powers still respect the Mon
roe Doctrine is in the declaration
of Great Britian, France and Ger
many that they will adopt no new
policy toward Mexico until the
United States submits her plans
We are reliably informed that at
a meeting held by the men of Dills-
boro township plans were laid and
the forces organized r for the . work
to be done in that township on
GOOD ROADS DAYS. It is under
stood that they will do all the work
possible in the two days.

for you to distinguish yourself.
Come out and show yourself a man.

neighbors and friends have a sub1
stantial proof of your interest in the
welfare of your county. I
yVe have authentic reports from

gard to the" work that will be done
n good roads days - and it seems
n it au me . people are in earnest
about the " ma ter, have the work
organized properly and are prepar
ing to do a lot of permanent work,
If thezwork is well organized and
under competent direction as it
?t.z to be, there is no reason Why
t-.i jusands of dollars worth of good
roads should not be built.

in North Carolina shall take a part.

I have read with interest the

spires present activitiesrih road.
building. We need the improved
highways ast much as we neei any
thing But I wish to lay before
those who have the matter in charge
and before our people at large this
proposition: ' ; '
AW. 1 .
aji mat snouia oe aone to . our
mountain roads at this time of the
year is to put on them large quan
tities of sand,.or other suitable ma
terial, to counteract the '. initable
i ......
effect of diggin : up the offensive
,mud. To turn-up the'elay- at this
season of the' year seems to me
little less than pure folly. Had this
movement been caWied into effect
two or three months ago; vast good
would have resulted: bur tearing up
: the roads here at the beginning ;- of
all
we are asked to Day the sum of
four dollars road tax!
It is true, the lumber wagons and
other vehicles ' from more r less
remote sections will be somewhat
benefitted in- the 'way . of a little
better grade, a few holes filled up
and, in places, a slightly widened
road. Sooner or later, however,
these very vehicles will so cut the
the roads' as to create for them
selves a more troublesome condition
of things than would have existed
had the roads not been worked at
all. ,
It seems to me Mr. Editor, that,
with all due respect for the procla
mation of our brilliant and patriotic
governor, the roads ought to be let
alone, unless we can cover them
with snd or gravel sufficient to
keep them in reasonably decent
condition for the remainder of the
winter:
jr ivsast, iu me nameoi eauca
tion and for the sake of the great
throngs of school children in the
county, let us do that work on the
roads that will enable these child
ren to get to the different schools
and carry on their work. We may
say all we want to about "getting
used to the muxl, but, sir, there is
no such thing as getting used to it!
Keeping childreo out of school and
making irregujar 3i d less satisfac
tory meir grore is pot getting
used to the mud! There is no ex
cuse for ulogio'g the wheels of ad
vancing civilisation for the queer
satisfaction of getting used to the
mud! i '
If, on the fiftb apd sixth of Nov
ember, there is anything to be done
to the. roads in the community
where is located the largest and
most promising school of this sec
tion of the state, I sincerely and
devoutly trust .that! it will be 'in the
way of haluing.sand and gravel for
the roads, and in putting in.of stones,
or board walks, for the purpose of
enabling us to go to and from our
places of work witksome degree of
cleanliness and safety and with less
offense to ourv sense of the eternal
fitness of things! .
It4s my earnest desire that those
wno reaa tnese lines snail not re
gard me as a . critic or a knocker,
but as on'e deeply interested in the
best interests of our great county
and her good people, and especially
of the schools and school children
