8 CiOOl WOMAN DEAD. Mrs. Sarah .lane Hart Passed Away e ni the Oth Leaves a . rlusband ; and Seven Children. ' Mrs. Sarh Jane Hart, the. devot ed wife of Mr: Henry Hart, of Moun stain Creek neighborhood, died Sun ay 'morning; Nov. 6th, 1910, in the 39th year of-her age. This good -woman was a daughter of Mr. John S. iiiks, by his first marriage. At the age of fourteen, she made 2i liJjLlic profession of faith, and united vilh Mountain Cieek Baptist churth, remaining a member there yntil her death. Sister Hart loved her Bible, and delimited to talk about religion,and christian duties. The last several years of her life were spent in bod ily weakness and suffering. She leaves a loving husband, and seven bright affectionate children. It is comforting to know that three of iLe oldest children have already learned to love their Mother's God. JL short while before sister Hart tired, she said, "I am ready to go," and then addressing her husband a!e said. "Take good care of the children." The burial services was conducted at Mountain Creek church, by Rev. J. A. Stradley, and the body was laid tenderly to rest in the church cemetery, in the presence of a large number of sorrowing relati ves and friends. Thus for a while, and only a Tssiiile, we bid farewell to our dear devoted sister. "Yet again we hope So meet thee" when the day of life is fled. Then in Heaven with joy to greet thee, where no farewell iears are shed." J. A. S. SCHOOL PATRON'S WORK. Circular Letter Sent Out By Super intendent Webb Meet With Imme diate Response. The follownng letter was sent out tlrom the office of the Board of Ed ucation a few weeks ago: October 17, 1910. To the teachers, Committeemen, End Patrons of the Public Schools o Granville County. The amount of money spent on fuel and supplies for the county schools has averaged about $4,000 a year for the past ten years. If this 554,000 could have been put in build lug it would have added very much to the comfort and efficiency of the schools. We are going to ask each school district this year to snake this provision for the school and let us save this amount to put in a building in some district where it is sorely needed. If each patron of the school will help a little in this direction it will be a very small burden on the community and yet In the aggregate it will amount to enough to build a nice one-room 2iouse each year. If your district feaj- a building, you can certainly lo this to help those without, and if yours happens to be one of the itu fortunate ones, there should be tTie more reason why you should show a disposition to help along the time when you can have one. Every patron of the school ought to be billing to do something for his school. Of course in the beginning von will find some who will pull back and not want to help but this number will diminish each year.This letter will be sent to most of the patrons and if necesary a meeting should be called at the school to discuss the matter. Very Sincerely, J. F. Webb. The response has been almost uni versal throughout the county. Mr. Jialph Currin reports that the pat rons in his district not only rose up like one man and carried the wood to the school house but not content :with doing this a number of the patrons met at the school last Sat urday and sawed up enough wood to last the whole term. Mr. X. D. Hobgood, of Oxford Township, says that he will be will ing to obligate himself to furnish the wood for his school for five years by himself if necessary in order to have a better building. These are merely two of the in "Stauees of the awakening of the peo ple to the advantages of co-operation in performing public duties. Granville County is rapidly pass ing away from the stage of individ ualism, fostered by the doctrine that if each man looks out for himself Ms family, and his business inter ests, the community as a whole will take care of itself. From this self centered scheme of things we are passing into the idea of community obligation and co-operative econo- rmy. Every community needs a leader thoroughly impregnated with this idea who will throw himself unhes itatingly into a phase of public work and stick to it until he brings it to pass. It may be the improvement of the school in his community. Let 3iim talk about it, write about it, ive a little of his time and money to it, try to get other people to do iiheir part in the work, let him be so thoroughly identified with school and its improvements that when ever one is thought of the other will inevitably follow as integral 3arts of the same idea. If some special phase of the school work appeals to him.such as the im provement of the grounds, the de velopment of the library, the school lorm or garden, or some special stu rdy that he wants to encourage.let 3iia concentrate his efforts. Let the public look upon him as a crank af he need be, but let him be sure that he turns something. If his interest lies along the line of public road improvement he lias the same opportunity. The suggestions made in regard to the school will apply equally as well to roads or any otner puDiic improve ments. Public Agitator. Kinston, X. Y.

NOTES FROM HENDERSON Exercises Given in Henderson Cen- trial School A Terrible Railroad Accident. (Special to Ledger.) November 7th 1910. Today was Honor Roll day in the Henderson Central School, and at ten thirty the opening exercises took place. After Prayer, the re citation of the commandments, and a song by the pupils, Mr. Al derman introduced Rev. J. W. Mor gan, the Baptist Minister who has just come to Henderson. Mr. Mor gan gained and retained the atten tion of the children and gave in the course of his talk some valua ble suggestions. Rev. R. C. Craven who will shortly leave Henderson, after the Methodist Conference,made a short, but most impressive appeal to the pupils, to realize the best, wherever their lot might be. Mr Cravens' departure is sincerely re gretted by all connected with the school of Henderson. Honor Roll Day was inaugurated several years ago, and has had a most wholesome effect on the school. Once a month during the school year the names of the pu pils making an average of 95 and over, on all studies, who have not been tardy during the month, ab sent over three days, and whose deportment is satisfactory, are re? d out. The Convention of Raleigh will meet in Holy Innocents Church Nov. 17 19. A large number of both clergy and laity are expected. A most distressing accident occur red here Saturday afternoon.

I have lately visited a part of three counties. 1 just stopped over at Clarksville in Va., This town has made great improvement since I saw it last. There is about one mile of grano lithic side walk pavement. It ex tends from one depot to the other. A large brick store is going up near Hotel Grace. At this hotel I found a whiskey drummer who was mad because he could not come . into North Carolina to sell whiskey. He said prohibition would ruin North Carolina. The State he said could not prosper without that comes from the selling of whiskey. I with one argument: the revenue making and answered him the State was never as prosperous as now I notice that all the farmers in Va., cut and shock their corn in the field. This gives them more rough food, and leaves the land in better condition for seeding down and grain. In Person County, N. C. Bethel Hill, a beautiful n.-w school building has been erected, where the old one was burned Tears ago. There is a good school here, presided over by Prof. Thome, assisted by Miss Woody, and Miss Sadie Barnett. Near this school is Bethel Bap tist, church which has extended Rev. J. A. Stradley a call to become their pastor. This church has good numerical and financial strength. The school and church are located in a community of intelligent and prosperous farmers. Durham County is taing rank with wealthy counties of the State. She is noted for her good roads, good schools, and for her great and growing City of Durham. Visitor.

People AVho Live on Bad Roads Are Aways at a Disadvantage Go. -I Roads Aways Pay. By Gracie Lee Critcher aged 13. The value of good roads is o. most advantage to the town or city nearest them. If they have bad roads, thev cannot expect people m the country to bring in their duce to the town. Therefore pro thc far- mopohanta nf tllfi CltV and tilC niprs of the country are at a great icoHvontaP-P T1u merchant has to Iosp his trade, or order his goods from some other place, thus incurr ing unnecessary expense, and los ing the time ordering it, and the farmer has to carry his farm pro ducts elsewhere, where there are good roads tor him to travel on. Thus you also see that the town is not only at a disadvantage, but the tanner is also greatly puzzled. By turning aloose some money and not Leing so miserly, we might have good roads, and then these farmers, merchants, and everybody would be in a comfortable state of mind. Roads should be built so as to lead from the toAvn. These would be the main roads, and then cross roads should be built now and then; these could be called the feeders to the main roads. There are many who argue against the building of good roads on the ground of econ omy, but instead of saving money building up or improving roads,you actually lose moeny. The purpose of building good roads is this: To de crease the enormous cost of bad roads. People in the city would be very angry of they had to walk on mud streets, not nice paved ones as they have, and in fact a city could not be built without them; so no agricultural community can possibly do well or develop on mud roads. Roads should be built with gravel and macadamized, nor built with mua. If you do build them with mud heavy traffic will soon pull tnem down; they win then be m tneir former condition, and then double expense will be incurred. One reason for so much money being wasted is that the managers of the whole may possibly not have the knowledge and experience for his work. This does not apply to all but it may be said of some. County Commissioners certainly ought to have a good map of the county, showing the situation of each and every road in the county. Road builders should always go around a hill and not over it.This does not cost any more, and by this method the road can be built on a plan, thus saving much wear and tear. It may cost more to secure nec essary information or expert assis tance now and then, but the results are always worth it. A fewr dollars wisely spent may prevent the waste of a thousand, or probably a great deal more. There are many ways of building roads but there is only one best way. Good roads are invaluable to the farms and farmer's. The farmer's produce is worth nothing whatever unless it can be placed on the mar ket The time was when food would be rotting in one place, while oth ers only a few miles distant wrould be suffering for it; the means of transportation being impossible. As good roads are being built, farm pro ducts are increasing in value. Some farms also are increasing in price per f-.cre as good roads are being built. Some one capable of doing it should talk to every farmer on this subject. Good roads increase our wealth, and we reap many times the cost of building them. And then too we should care for the welfare of our horses, for the Eye which notes the sparrow's fall, and He who numbers the very hairs of our heads will not be unthoughtful of the sufferings of our poor iiorses and mules, beaten through muddy roads with very heavy loads. Wagoners leave home with a hea vy load on, to go to another town: and they probably will not see home until five or six days. They certain- : i! ly would vote for good roads, if they knew their cost for building them up would not be above thirty cents, while one trip to market costs in their labor, lest time, and the damage to thier stock, more than it would to macadamize every public road in the county. BETTER THAN RAILRODS. Texas Man Thinks Good Public Roads a Prime Consideration His Views Upon the Question. By D. F. Johnson, in "Southern Good Roads." In conversation with the president of one of Texas leading railways recently, he said to me: 'You say that Brownwood is spending $300, 000 for additional railroads, and only $100,000 for good roads; well you ought to reserve it." "I appreciate the prevailing senti ment in Texas for additional "rail roads, but I am a firm believer in good roads, and while there are doubtless places that should have additional railroads, or places that have none that are entitled to one; but the money that is being spent by home people for railroads would be worth a great deal more if used to build public highways. 'Now take the people of the east ern states, where thousands of mi les of public highways have been built long before there were any or at least many railroads the people are educated intelligent, have splen did homes, are happy, well fixed and in fact are living a rather easy life. Besides, additional railroads are not what they used to be before rates were al regulated, and sche dules controlled bjT law. The time was when the more railroads a town had the stronger the competi tion, and come times there Avas something doing in the way of cut rates, but now they are all regula ted by the state and federal govern ments. The Importance of it. "Take my word for it.five hundred- j miles of good public roads in your ; county will do more for the wel fare of the people, ana ot your town, and the same number oi miles of railway." This is a sentiment of a man ver sed in a state's development, who has made a success of every phase of life, and reached the topmost round of the ladder of success in the railway world. He had lived along the old Na tional Pike, in Indiana, knew what wonders good roads had wrought in the state that has more miles' of gravel and paved roads than any other state in the United States, and placed the advent of good roads above railroads, or any other advance agent of development. He knew that good roads were conductive to advanced education, pride in agricultural developments, brought happiness and peace to an intellectual class of people, and were the greatest developer of the resources of anv state. reat Agitation in Texas. In Texas, there is today more ag itation of good road building than probably any other state due to the aggressiveness of the various sections, and the law enacted by the 31st legislature that made pos sible the voting of bonds in specific portions of counties has been the means of several million dollars be ing spent on good roads and in September Nolan, Taylor, Runnels, Austin, Jackson, Williamson, and McCulloch counties held elections in certain districts to vote on road bond issues. Let the good work go on. Good roads are worth more to the whole people than anything else; they are the forerunner, and advance agent of those conditions that will bring permanency to the state, in tellectual farming, happiness to its people, and settle it up wit a truly desirable class of citizenship. Brown County, which was the first county in Texas to take advan tage of the new road law, set the pace, and is now considering increas ing the bond issue in district No. 1 , and twro other districts of the counts are preparing to call an election to vote an issue.
