Krimminger, of No. 11 township, entertains ideas alioiit ood roads that are practical. More than this, Mr. Knmminger put? the ideas into practice. For instance, he believes the best way to maintain good roads is to use a broad tire -con. Therefore he uses tl.e brued tire exclusively. He was in town u few davs ago and his attention was called to the fact that hp had been using broad tires on his wann for several vears. "I believe in sood roads," he said. Any citizen who claims to be sn advocate of good roads and drives a narrow tired wagon reminds me of n man who would teach a Sunday School class on Sunday and then go cut and gamble and aid in leading the youths of his community astray through the week. The solution of maintaining good roads will be reach t I when the brond tire wagon comes nto universal use." TO ADJOURN AUGUST 28. Senator Smoot Says All the Trust Bills Will Pass.

"Captain" Cross loves the printshop, ss does even other person who has ever gotten ink on his finger. He has been unable to work for several years and dur ing that time lie has lived among his friends in Asheboro, Concord and Raleigh, where he formerly worked. For many years he stuck type on the Concord Tribune, at Concord, and is a very familiar character in that town. Several years of his life were spent in the employment of the Courier at , Ashboro. At both of these shops he has always felt at home: and while in the two towns they were his favorite loafing places. The boys were always glad to see him come. "Captain" Cross began "stick ing" type before the war between the States and kept continually at it until a few vears ago when his health became such that he was fore eci to give it up. His eyesight ii good and the greater part of his linn is now spent reading.
