The (Ilolleman Road Coated
With Gravel.
EL ANT DRIVEWAY.
Result of Mr. V.cMuckin's hxperimcnts
Produces a Must F.xcel'cnt Thorough
fare - ("hoaper and in .Manv Re
speets Preferable to Macadam.
The splendid roads of Raleigh
township are objects of admiration
of every citizen of Raleigh and Wake
County as well, and they receive un-
stiDted praise of visitors to the city
who have the pleasure of riding
over them. All of us take a pride
in the township roads.
ButMr. W. C. McMackin, the ac
complished road supervisor, who is
directly responsible for these splen
didthoroughfaresleadingout from the
city has furnished a surprise to erven
dib most ardent admirers. He is
now engaged in putting the finish
ing touches on the Holleman road,
which he has given a gravel filling.
This is probably the only gravel
road in the state and it is. certainly
one of the most beautiful driveways.
Mr. McMackin spends his time in
studying the road question, as a
student does his books, ire ex
periments with various soils
and in this way he came
.across a gravel bed on the Holleman
road which makes a rood in many
respects far superior to macadam.
The gravel bed discovered contains
six acres, and this the county com
missioners purchased, after its ad
mirable properties for road construc
tion were fully tested.
So far a road bed from six inches
tq two and one half feet in depth has
been given the Holleman road a dis
tance af two and one half miles from
the city limits. The road has been
graded in a most approved manner
so that it will permit of a horse go
ing at a continual trot the entire dis
tance without tiring or annoying
him in the least. This road furnishes
a most delightful driveway, far su
perior to any other leading from the
city, It is perfectly smooth and
free from rocks, and the grade is ex
cellent. It is the best piece or road
work yet done by the county's crack
road maker.
The discovery of the gravel bid,
the convenience of which makes it
all the more valuable, was a splendid
piece of luck on Mr. MeMackin's
part. The gravel is composed of
tine grits, which cling together and
make a perfectly sound and firm
foundation. As soon as the rain falls
on the gravel it hardens and never
loses that property. It possesses
many of the qualities of cement, and
the more the rain falls upon it the
harder it becomes. In the worst of
weather the gravel road will not be
come muddy, but retains its cement
like properties.
Mr McMackin tells us that gravel,
of thequality which he is now using,
is far preferable -to macadam. It
costs something like $600 per mile
less than macadam and it gives a
much more desirable road. It is
used very. extensively in Tennessee
and in preference to stone.
Only one argument can be used
against gravel roads and that is they
do not last so long.
The Hollomau thoroughfare has
already jumped into popularity with
I the wheelmen. One evening last
1 week 75 cyclists were counted
I coming into the city. As soon as a
rain falls, the road will be. in ele
gant shape.
THE MAYORS COURT
I aual Monotony Broken Jas Rollins
Charged With Burglary.
Mayor Rubs broke the monotony
today by disposing of several cases.
John Murpby, white, a follower
of Dusty Rhodes was sent to the
roads for thirty days. A lock pick
was found on Murphy's person.
Randall Johnson took revenge on
a"ledy"of the other half by ad
ministering her a whipping and the
mayor sent him, to the roads to do
duty lor 30 days.
An additional warrant was made
out against James Rollins, charging
him with burglary and a 1500 bond
was required of him. Rollins is the
negro who broke in Mr G B Alford's
tore at Holly Springs. The first
warrant against him charges him
with larceny and breaking in a store.
; Rollins will stand trial for his
life.'
. During the past 21 years Raleigh
has had only three city attorneys,
each serving seven years.
WARRANT FOR MURDER.
Tito. Terrell will Havo a Preliminary
Hcarvfng Thursday.
A warraot has been issued against
Thos. Terrell of Wake Forest for
murder.
The warrant was issued by Justice
Harry Roberts and he will have a
preliminary hearing of the case at
four o'clock Thursday evening.
Terrell is now in jail, having been
arrested on the 110th of April on a
charge of assault. Terrell was en
gaged in a dispute with' John Gill at
Wake Forest, when lie cut him with
his knife, the blade penetrating
his bladder. Gill was desperately
wounded and finally died of the
wound on the seventh.
Terrell will now have to stand
trial for his life. ylle is not much
more tuan a ooy, ana me plea 01
self defense will probably be used
by him. Gill was about 21 years old.
Both were colored.
OUR NOBLE ORDER.
Executh c Committee lccidcs to Operate
the Shoe Factory at Once.
Mr. J M. Mewborncof Lenoir, the
new commissioner of Agriculture
was in the city today on his return
from ITillsboro. where he attended a
meeting of the Executive Committee
of the State Alliance. There was
present in addition to Mr. Mew
borne, speaker A. F. Hileman, John
Graham and V. B. Fleming.
The important question before the
committee was the disposition of the
shoo factory, which has been a white
elephant on the hands of the noble
order since its inception.
The committee decided to apply
more funds to the enterprise and put
it in operation immediately. It is
hoped to having it in working order
in the course of a few days. The
factory has never boon operated
since its completion.
The question of holding an early
session of the state Alliance was
not discussed. The constitution
provides that the Alliance shall
meet annually on the second Tues
day in August.
Our School Histories.
Much of commendation has re
cenlly been published of Mr. Howell's
teaching from his own compilation
some North Carolina facts concern
ing the part North Carolina troops
took in the late civil war. This is
praiseworthy and should be well
learned by our children. But why
does Mr. Howell insist in excluding
from our schools a history which
teaches largely all these things and
compel us lo buy, and our children
to study, a history which is purged
of almost every North Carolina
name? The history now used in our
schools totally ignores the name of
Alexander H Stephens, for 26 years
in the United States congress, Vice
President of the Southern Confeder
acy, who wrote a history of the
United States, a pictorial history of
the United States, as well as a con
stitutional history of the United
States and died as the Governor of
Georgia. The history now in use
carefully omits the namesof Pickett,
Ewell, Fit.hugh Lee, S. D. Lee,
Hampton, Morgan, A. P. Hill, D. H.
Hill, Longstreet and a host of others.
It makes no reference to the Meck
lenburg resolutions of May 20, 1775.
Omits the Jesuit settlements along
the Mississippi river and makes no
reference to pre-historic settlers. It
omits King's Mouutain (which Jef
ferson said "wa9 the,suceessful turn
of the tide,") Maury, Dick Taylor,
Bull's Bluff, McGruder, Walthall,
Stuart and Polk, (a General and
Episcopal Bishop,) It makes no ref
erence to the Kentucky and Virginia
resolutions versus alien and sedi
tion laws, and many other names
and events and matters of Southern
interest to our children. 1
This history now used in our
schools to teach ourchildren history
makes old John Brown a saint, but
fails to give the cause for firing on
Fort Sumpter, or the burning of
Chambersburg. This new Southern
history praises the defeat of Early
and Sheridan's "ride" (which ride
never occurred) but omits Hunter's
disgraceful retreat from Lynchburg
before Gen. Early.
Why does a book which omits so
much of interesting real Southern
historical facts be forced on us and
ourchildren? Is there none other'
bettor, fairer that could be used?
There is. H. H. Roberts.

of the diplomats and asked the free
