HARD SURFACED . HOAD TO LIBERP The first hard surface road in the county will be the Liberia road. The District Engineer states that on ac count of the scarcity of good top . soil, it would be cheaper to hard surface, this road. The Liberia road is an important link of the Nashville-Cen-treville-Rocky Mount - road and ' we are assured that work from Warren ton to Liberia, a distance of five miles will be commenced some time this summer. . The new Nashville-Liberia road will be open for travel sometime in September. This will mean that travel from Richmond, and points west will pass through Warrenton on their way to Rocky Mount, Wilson and Eastern North Carolina with ,a great saving of mileage. THE FAMOUS CONNETICUTT BLUE LAWS Monroe Enquirer. Since local option and' prohibition elections have ceased to furnish ex citement and organization, our old friend "Personal. Liberty" is scarcely seen or heard of. Now and then, sowever, when a town under pressure or for some other reason moves to tie up things, or to regulate some abuses, you can hear our old friend, Person al Liberty" make some remarks. But no town or city or state would tolerate, without multiplying the po lice force by 'one hundred, the blue laws that once prevailed in the Nui meg State. The laws enacted by the people of "Dominion of New Haven," became known as the blue sky laws because they were printed on blue paper. They were as follows The governor and magistrates con vened in general assembly are the supreme power, under God, of the determination of the assembly no ap peal shall be made. No one shall be a freeman or havo a vote unless he is converted and a member of one, of the churches al lowed in the dominion.,. V Each freeman shall swear by the blessed God to bear true allegiance to this dominion and that Jesus is the only king. No dissenter from the essential worship of this dominion shall be al lowed to give a vote for electing cf magistrates to any office. No food or lodging shall be offered to a, heretic. No one shall cross a river on ttu Sabbath but authorized clergymen. No one shall travel, cook victuals, make beds, sweep house, cut hair 01 shave on the Sabbath day.

Whoever wears clothes trimmed in "old. silver or bone1 lace above one shilling per yard shall be presented by the grand jurors and the state be taxed 300 pounds by the selectmen: Whoever brings cards or dice in the dominion shall pay a fine of 5 pounds. No one shall eat mince pie, dance, play cards, or play any instrument of music except the drum, trumpet or jewsharp. No gospel minister shall join peo ple in marriage.

COMMUNITY DEADHEADS Thomas Brooks Fletcher, of Mar ion, Ohio, the other editor of Presi dent Harding's home town, speaks of community deadheads as follows: A community deadhead is a citizen ostrich, with his head buried , in the sand. He is a man who opposes everything new; who votes No on im provements, expects salvation be cause it's free, but would not seek it if, it cost him anything; erects spite fences and divides his town into cliques, north, east, west, south, and outside. He is negatively good and there fore positively bad. He is the man who refuses to cooperate, and who thinks more of prosperity than he never does anything for his commun- , itv until he dies.
