T1IE RALEIGH, DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6,-1912. ROAD WORK IN lllWC Mr. W. L. Wiggs, supervisor of roads of Wake county, submitted to day his monthly report of road work, road conditions and plans for further worth this winter. The report fol lows: To the Honorable Board of County Commissioners of Wake County, Gentlemen: I respectfully sub mit the following report of road work and road conditions, condition of camps, etc., for the month of January, 1912: As per order of the board appoint ing Mr. Franklin and myself a com mittee to examine into the matter, of cutting a road across the tends of Mr. Ennis in Middle Creek township near Varina, we went to Varina and examined the matter, and finding that the road is all in Middle Creek township, the matter is now in the hands of the road trustees of that township so we referred Mr. W. C. Whifaker to them for relief. We also advised them that the work , would have to be, paid for out of the 80 percent of the road fund of tnat township which will be paid to the road trustees by the county treas urer. A Xew Route. As per order of the board Mr. Holding and 1 went to Little River township and examined the route of the highway from Zebulon to the Raleigh road. After examinin:; tne present route, and a proposed new route leaving the present route at Mr. Wheless' land and going straight to Moore's Mill, we decided that it would be best to adopt the new route, as it would cut off consider able distance from Zebulon to the Raleigh road, and it would be easier to cut out a new road across this new route than to work the old one. Mr. R. J. Whitley, Mr. Wheless and Mr. M. S. Chamblee agreed to give the right of way across their lands for the road, and agreed in all to give us four days work with tvo two-horse teams and two hands also all the gravel we may need for this new route. I think this will be of great benefit to the people of that section as it shortens the route to Raleigh and will give them a better t road, and a great majority of the people of Zebulon favor the-now route. Investigation. I went to the Stage road in Panther Branch township near A. Turner Smith's plantation to investi . gate a place in the road that had been reported as almost impassible. I found that there was a place on this road which, for a short distance, was in very bad condition, and I hired Mr. Wyatt to work with two carts and two laborers hauling gravel to this place at the price of $6 per day of ten hours, he to furnish gravel, and to put the road in passable condition at that place. . I have also sent Fowler's road machine camp to this road, to begin ; work at or near this place and work back toward Raleigh. : I also placed i log drags with Mr. B. N. Ferrell and Mr. A. J. Blalock to be used in the community, and think they will help matters considerably. BWlge and Fill. I made a visit to Fuquay Springs about putting in a bridge and a small fill on the road leading from Fuquay Springs to the Harnett county line. 1 made a contract with Mr. W. Z. Atkinson to put in this fill and bridge for about $25. I also made a contract with Mr. Jeff Stephens of near Holly Springs to put in three small bridges on the road from Varina to Holly Springs the three bridges not to cost more than $25. The Central Highway. As per order of the board I went with Mr. Franklin and Prof. Riddick to the site of the proposed steel bridge over Crabtree on the Central Highway near Morrisvllle. I found that by changing the road and run ning it a little nearer the railroad I could straighten the road, and at the same time get a bridge site that would be more favorable and tbat would shorten the bridge span twenty feet making the span eighty ENGRAVED COUNTY im I WEDDING INVITATIONS .'-'.. AND VISITING CARDS. STEEL DIE STAMPED STATIONERY. Superior Quality. EDWARDS & BR0UGDT0N PRINTING CO. Raleigh, N. C. feet instead of one hundred feet. Theie is also a better location here for the abutments. Prof. Riddick agreed that the location was a great deal better than the present site and prepared plans and specifications for a bridge at this place. He prepared plans and specifications for the span and abutments separtely, as per direction of the board, and the bids for the concrete abutments will be based on the price per cubic yard I have turned the plans over to the clerk to the board and they have been mailed to the various compan ies, copies being kept in the office of the register of deeds for use by local contractors. Avent Ferry Road. In regard to the road from the Avent Ferry road through the lands of the Catholic Orphanage. The pro posed route of this road went through the lands of the Central Hospital for a little way, and, after trying through the authorities, I a as unable to get right of way across this land. The original route also ran through some thick woods, ?nd there were several hills to grade: t would also have had a long haul for my gravel. In view of all th?se things I changed the route o. this road somewhat and made a loop .o ing around the lands of the Central Hospital, and also going around the hills and escaping the wooded sec tions. The Catholic Orphanage read ily granted the right of way for the new route. There will be very little grading to be done, the road will be largely through old fields. I will not have to haul the gravel very far, I escape the trouble of opening the road through the woods, and of keeping it up afterwards (as I would have to do, as it is a great deal of trouble to keep up a road through a wooded section) and almost all the way the new road will have a southern exposure, which will help to keep it dry. As soon as the re cent bad weather came I took Mr. Lee's camp from the Fairview road, where they could not work, and put them to cutting out this new route, and they have already cut out and graded about half a mile of it. As the board will remember, the coun ty is to build one mile and th-j. Ral eigh Real Estate & Trust Company is to build the other two. T figure that I have saved the county, by changing this route, at least $500 and made a better road. Buy Pair Mules. Mr. Holding and I, as per ou'.er of the board, bought a pair of mules. We bought them from the John M. Pace Mule Company for the pries of $600, and the company guarantees them to be sound and all right. They are about six years old and are as fine a pair of mules as I have ever seen. I bought a pair of mules about six years old, with harness, fror.1 Mr. P. A. White, for the sum of $475. I consider this a good bar gain, as the mules are large and strong and well broke and I think will do the county fine service. Camps. Camp No. 1, Macon Nipper, su pervisor, has been putting in a 1111 on the Central Highway near Morris ville, leading up to the new bridge site on both sides of Crabtree creek this being the line of the route as changed from the old route which I mentioned in section 5 of this re port. Considering the bad weather he has done good work. Mr. 'Nipper has 20 convicts and 8 mules at this camp, and has put in one pipe. Four convicts were received by this camp and four released. One convict a trusty escaped and has not been recaptured. He had about sixty days to serve. I have reported the matter to the authorities and be lieve we will have him again in a short while. Camp No. 2, W. E. Mimms, su pervisor, has been at work on the Brantley road ; has put in 1 box, 1 24 inch pipe and worked about J -3 mile of road. This camp lost nbou 1 1 days on account of the extremely bad weather; has 18 convicts, and 9 mules; received 10 convicts and re leased 3, sent 1 to Camp No. 3 and one to the new road machine force; repaired one bridge, and is now at work on the Moore's Mill road men tioned in section 2 of this report. Camp No. 3, A. B. Boss, super visor, has finished up the Six Fork3 road by I. H. Lynn's, except a little gravelling on the road near the Lees ville road, which could not be done on account of the weather. I have ordered this camp to move to Ral eigh township and am going to work the highways leading from Raleigh, as I can work In Raleigh township Correct Forms. . to better advantage during the wiu- ' ........ 1. TKio nomn Hi n'll' Id IIIUMIMD. i mo vauip iiaa M elled about 250 yards road, put in four twelve-inch concrete pipes; has 18 convicts and 9 mules. Camp No. 4, S. L. Lee, superviso'-, is still located at the Fair Grounds. He worked a little on the Fairview road but the weather got too bad for gravelling and grading, so I moved him over on the new road mentioned in section 6 and he ha 3 cut out about half a mile of this road. As soon as the weather opens up I intend to move this camp back to the Fairview road and complete the graveling and grading necessary on that road. ' This camp has 24 convicts, 8 mules, 1 horse. Road machine camp No. 1, Rollo Fowler, supervisor, has been doing some light work on the road from 11. K. Knight's to Eagle Rock and has run over about fourteen miles. I ha-e ordered this camp to go to the Stajie road in Panther Branch township. This camp has three con victs, six mules. - Road machine camp No. 2, R. K. Thompson,' supervisor, has been working on the Wake Forest road, the Rolesville roa'd and the Falls road. Has rounded up about four teen miles of road light work with the" .machine. Has one hired man and four mules no convicts. Free labor camp, R. L. Watkins, supervisor, has been using steei drag, patching up bridges, filling up holes and doing light work gener ally on the roads loading into Ral eigh, iias one man with him, and two mules, and has done good work. ('amp Xear Raleigh. 1 respectfully request that this board consider the advisability of providing a camping place, or stock ade with houses etc., on the land owned by the county neap 'Raleigh at what- is commonly called the rock quarry, if there were such a plait;, the convicts would not have to lose a day on account of had weather. There is plenty of water. oti this site, and I am. sine that if the board would build a stockade there, with good quarters for the men and guards, we could get a lot of work out of the convicts-during the bad weather when they cannot work on the roads. This quarry could be made to furnish macadam rock with which to surface all the roads in Raleigh township, and even the roads outside of Raleigh township; the camps could be kept there more economically than scattered over the county, and I believe such a. plan would save money to the county, as well as save labor, and furnish a good deal of first class road material which Ave badly need. I don't t link the cost would be very great, and wish that the board would take the matter up. The bridge painting has beet; fin ished but I have not had opportunity to see the Boyce bridge and the Lau rence bridge yet, as the weather has been so bad. AH of which is respectfully sub mitted, W. L. WIGGS, General Supervisor. Flying Men Full victims to stomach, liver and kid ney troubles just like other people, with like results in loss of appetite, backache, nervousness, headache and tired, listless, run-down feeling.

So he is doing it. He is not staying back in New York piling up dollars, but he is migrating from city to city, an other apostle, .anf apostle of goorV cheer, carying nisi message of good and kindness and hope and honesty as none but a man with his experi ence, his past, his memories, could carry it. Isn't this an achievement? Isn't this enough to sectire him a hearing anywhere? People 'sometimes won der that newspapers give him the space and attention he-secures. 'They call it another advertising fake. They say he's a clever press agent, adver tising himself as an actor anil his theater as well. But the men of the newspaper know better; they, who long have wrestled with the newsboy problem, stand hand in hand at his success with that problem, which they have never solved. They give their space because "Noodles" is do ing a work no other Aemrican lias attempted. A financier can hold financiers, a Jiteratuer student; an economist statesmen; a revivalist all adults; but nobody but a newsboy can hold newsboys. "Noodles" line of talk, if used by anyone else, would he ludicrous; would excite nothing but derision. So, your favorite newspaper in employing "Noodles" is not guilty of a bit of cheap advertis ing, it is honestly trying to assist a great movement. For : "Noodles" can reach this type as no other American has reached them. He. is a bundle of magnetism. Attraction the subtle attraction to which youth is subject flows from him.. He whistles to a gang of boys and they flock to him like pins to the magnet. Why? He Is one of them. He has lived their life. ,.He"is the type that Maude Adams tried to de pict in her little play the boy who has never grown up. His 'spiel' rarely varies and is sim plicity itself. Keep clean physical ly, mentally and morally. Be up. right and honest. Revere your par ents andcling to your friends. Here ; is his creed in a nutshell. He preaches! no religious faith and reaches Cath-f olic, Protestant and Jew with equal ease reaches them as no minister or the gospel ever can, as no man in American public life ever has. An Era of Unrest. We are entering a great era. Un rest Is everywhere. Old standards of morality are being shattered.' Everybody Is saying that religion is losing its grip, that old-fashioned honesty does not pay, that women I need no longer be held sacred; that, in short, we are doing our best to go to pieces on the rocks of demnltlon bowwows. The gamin hears this. He sees keenly that honesty is not the path of riches-; we know the moral delinquencies that are only too common; he has little respect for religion that leaves him to go unclad In winter and hungry most of the year. He, the gamin, Is only too likely to conclude that moral stand ards are not worth while and tbat the thief and the debauchee are the proper models, All the evangelists orld might unite upon the , to convert him. without sue - cl'is, but he would not listen. Comes "Noodles," who is one of them, still a street boy, and he listens. He is told, in the heartiest way in the world, that religion is not dead; he is called on to remember, without a suggestion of the hypocrite in the ad- monition, that he must be kind and good and loving and true, that when he gets to be a man the nation may find him a sterling citizen; he is en- thused by the conviction that he is here to play a patriotic part, that if things are not altogether as they j should be, tie, the ragged gamin, may do much to make them what they should be. l.avc.-- millions of tiny hearts lighter and happier for his coming steels millions of tiny souls for a brave part in the battle that is to come, i If, us soine think, a decade or two will bring a terrible national crisis, ii.ien student of men and things in America might surmise- that, the greatest, moral force in America to- i day. -the-'greatest influence working j for iiood upon the citizens of tomor row, who must decide that crisis, j ih ".N'oodles" Fagan.
