They are immensely costly and immensely valuable to business; but"5 they1 are not being - produced, and actual own ership of them for purpose of profit through - operation that js a dif ferent matter. Whether anybody would have cared to buy a new rail road, five years ago,, and pay what it cost to build, is -doubtful. Ten years ago anyone going into the market with a controlling interest in a well located road would haye received plenty of offers. How about it today? That is the first thing for the commission, which Governor Morrison has not been in indecent haste to appoint, to find out. Assuming that the state interests can be disposed of for enough money to build the connections con templated, the (benefits conferred will by no means be confined to the hitfierto neglected sections in which the, tracks will run. There would be created a traffic structure that would1 immediately begin to put money into pockets all over the cen tral section of the state, and stimu late commerce from one end of it to the other. The advantage to Greensboro trade, of- freight rates reduced for decreased mileage, would run rapidly into,. :the.:rthous1uids to say - nothing Y of the ' increasing Volume- of trade.

The citizen's share of '!the state railway properties now in existence is of little value to him, at present. He has to pay a mite less tax than he would have without the railroad income but the real value to the people-' of these railroads is the busi ness facility they afford, which would be ju5t as great if the rail roads belonged actually to the Ah kcond of Swat, or Henry- Ford. That's an, idea; might sell them trt He nay. He is- about the only per son that readily comes to mind who takes a cheerful enough view - of things in general to consider buy ing '"-railroads. He has bought one, and done well with it, and is credit ed with willingness to buy more. Representative Tarn induced the legislature to "direct" the Governor to appoint a commission to look in to the feasibility of selling and re investing; and the Governor,- after taking a good, long year to think it over has given Representative Tarn a feasible commissioly headed" by Col. Cameron. "Whether Mr. Bovfie considers this a friendly succession Xff inaction and action, we have no means of knowing. We shall have tke question of ; feasibility answer-, ed 'in due" time," no jdoubt. It is one of those things which if at all feas ible, is "very 'feasible indee-Greens-boro Daily -"News.

The consensus of opinion was that Iredell county has been grossly discriminated against by the state high way- com mission in the matter of road build ing, especially with Regard to the northern outlet, and there was much interest manifested. A mass meeting to discuss the matter was called to meet in the court house next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. ' . President C. H. Turner presided over the meeting and after a discus sion of certain local matters with ref erence to improvements at the' sta tion, a committee being appointed to ake the matter up with officials cf the railway, the secretary called : on W.VA. Thomas to state theain ob ject of the special road conference. Mr. Thomas said that the highway 1 . -will 1 commission nad leit lreaeu ana Statesville. out of the road building program lor the immediate iuruie. except the Statesville-Charlotte high way. No outlet v to the north being planned and no information from headquarters can be secured, that will give any encouragement for the fu ture. County attorney Z. L. Long, made an enthusiastic address. He asserted that Iredell had been grossly and shamefully discriminated against ahd that it is high time for the whole country to rise in arms against such unjust treatment on the part of the highway commission. While the state highway commissioners'- are redeem ing some section of the mountains they are leaving Iredell out of their considerations. Clerk of Court J. A. Hartness told the story of his untiring efforts to get something for Iredell and that he and others had been waiting patiently or something to be done. He pro posed ah organized fight to be waged during the next session of the legis- ature for the opening up of per manent roads to Wilkesboro and con necting with the Boone Trail, open ing, up a rich sction for Statesville. The Kiwanis. Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, Merchants Association and all local organizations 'will join he officials of the town and county and other counties interested in the fight for just treatment in the road building program.

Farmers in this" section of the state expect one of the largest wheat crops in years, judging by the condition of fields as of April 1. The mild, dry winter which followed one of the. worst drouths in many years, enabled" farm ers to sow many acres to this grain and a gcod stand resulted. The out look was never better for this season of the year and with favorable weather between1 now and harvest the yield will be good. Last year few fanners in this section made enough wheat to pay the cost of seed, fertilizer and threshing. L E COMPLETE cleanliness is your best assurance against tooth troubles.
