TX Ray Local Unions to Organize for Good Roads Day Whereas, his Excellency, Locke Craig, Governor of North Carolina, has issued his proclamation setting apart the fifth and sixth days of November. 1313. as Good Roads Days, and appointing these days as holidays and days of festival through out the State, to celebrate the dawn of a new day in North Carolina a day in which the march of progress - - - V V toward a higher and better civiliza tion is made easier by Good Roads, with modern schools as signboards guiding the people onward and up ward; and Whereas, His Excellency has call ed upon the president of the Farm ers Union to issue his proclamation tcthe organized farmers of North Carolina to enlist in this great movement for the betterment of all the people and the development of. the both country and town; Therefore, as president of the Farmer's Union, I hereby call upon all the local unions in the State to assemble at their regular meeting places on Friday afternoon or night October 31st, and there organize and arrange to work every able bodied man in the community on the community roads on Wednes day and Thursday, November 5th and 6th. Let all farmers with all other classes of our citizenship,' and shovel in hand, realize that it is j one of the very few instances in life where brawn will hold its own with brain. Arid in this union of effort in a ' 'common cause, ' ' may ' all men come to realize that every move- j ment for the development of North j Carolina and the upbuilding of her eitizenshin is a "Common Cause" that should enlist the united co-operation of all classes. And as we are thus for two days brought personally under the divine edict "by the sweat of thy face shult thou eat bread" may all men be brought into a closer and larger sympathy with that large class of our people that spend all their days in labor and toil. And as we tire under the burden of the day may we be stimulated to greater endurance by the thought that we are thus lessening the bur den of North Carolina's twelve mil lion dollars Bad Road Tax that we are thus helping to bring country and town nearer together, reducing the cost of marketing to the one and lowering the high cost of living to the other, that we are thus mak ing possible an increased attend ance on church, and school, there by elevating the people spiritually, morally and intellectually. And may these Good Roads Days arouse a universal demand for good road building that will soon extend these arteries of trade to the humb lest home in North Carolina. And by this meeting and ming ling and laboring together bring all men of all classes to recognize the .rights of others and the part that each class must take in the develop ment of a greater civilization; and may we never be content with a prosperity that does not extend to every class and every section of our State. Fraternally, H. Q. ALEXANDER, President Farmer's Union of N. C. Malaria or Chills & Fever Prescription No. 666 is prepared especially for MALARIA or CHILLS A, FEVER.
