All 'sorts of nensations fell lust week anil this week. .The-"hoard on the per sonnel of the department of agricul ture" stirred up a hornet's nest when it undertook to turn Or. liar vey Wiley, the famous pure tood ex port out. Delegate James Wicker- sham of Alaska made the fur 11 y when ho took his gloves, off to At torney General Wiekersham for neg lecttug to proseeute two concerns that detrauded the government out of $50,()uo in a coal contract in his territory.

This is a good place to tell some thing aliout -the press galleries and tho extra session. No set of men ever worked harder, faster, and tin der 'greater strain than the house press gallery representatives have had to do this session. .Everybody save a few old reliables, was new, and a battle tor the news was liercer than if the ropes had been in older hands. Democratic rtininuttee chair men flashed news that would be read around the world .without ever giving the scribes a tip.

For some time passed these two streets especially have been per fect Ormond Beach affairs, with the police forco powerless to put an end to the reckless driving, but the club has now been placed into the hands of the force to stop suclr daijgerous speeding. Hereafter stopwatches are to be used by every member of the force, with instruction to use them on every machine seen in the street. . It has been almost impossible to convict one for fast driving because of Inability to Judge with the eye the speed of the machine, but that difficulty will not stand in the way of the officers hereafter, every mem ber of the force has been supplied With the regulation stop-watch. r lhj JOT- f 'r If' I Mildred ItiKld, (lamlitrr t II ueullbv New link man who has iMipM'arel.

Dr. Joseph Hvde Pratt of Chapel Hill, .who was in Raleigh today, slated that five corps of engineers are now in the field surveying the route of tlie central highway from Iloaiilorl to tlie Tennessee line. The surveying has been completed in ( arterel, ( raven and Lenoir counties and 11. ('. Wells, the engineer sent I mm. the I nilod Slates office of pub lic roads, will work in Wayne county next week. Mr. - Alortan is now at work In Johnson county, and C. M. Miller 111 Davidson county. Mr. osbelI, of the I nited States of lice ol public roads, is now at work 111 Orange county and Mr. Moore--field, also of the government office. is 111 McDowell county. Mr. Mooreliuld lias been doing some work in Black Mountain town ship 011 the sand clay problem and is now engaged 111 the most difficult task ol the whole route, laying off tlie road down the Blue Ridge mountains'. Several tentative lines will he run before a definite route is decided along this part. Iredell county, which recently voted a large bond issue, has Its own county en gineer at work. Dr. Pratt hopes to havr a man in Catawba county with in the next two weeks and it is his aim to have the entire route, sur veyed by August 7 the week set :ipnrt as '-Good Roads week. (.ood Roads Week Aiigusl 7. During (he week beginning August r, Dr. Pratt stated that it was hoped to have much ol tlie highway; built. Some ol the counties, notably (raven. Carteret, Lenoir and John ston, are going rapidly ahead with the construction of sand clay roads. Ilie engineers are laving out a fine oad, ol easy grade and eliminating had dips, and lulls. T11 some places it is necessary to relocate the road; 111 .others to regrade the present roadbed, winle in some instances the present bed is unproved, in others it . needs only surlacing. If every man along the route puts in bis weeks work, the central highway will soon be accomplished. Dr. Pratt says the surveyors on tlie crest ol the Blue Hldge highway whiMi is to run from Asheville to Blowing Rock across the Craggy mountains, and Mitchell, are making line progress, the camps being locat ed at. present 111 Stepps (lap, near Mount Mitchell.
