THE STATE HAS 2800
MILES IMPROVED HIGHWAYS
-And Is Vet Building More Highways
Than Ever Before.
Tribune Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, July 13-—North Carolina
not only has already 2,600 miles of
improved highways completed and in
service, but the State is now build
ing more highways than ever before
in its road-building history, and of
better quality at a smaller cost per
mile. All of -which is something to
think about. At present there are
from 1,000 to 1,200 miles of highway
under construction, from 600 to 600
miles Os this being hard surfaced, so
that by December 31, 1028, there
will be approximately 3,200 miles of
hard surfaced highways doing active
duty in North Carolina. There will
in addition be from 600 to 700 miles
of surface-treated roads, just recent
ly undertaken by the .commission.
The treatment is called the “enteh
inite” treatment, whereby a graded
or topsoil road is given a binding
coat of mixture of tar and asphalt,
which gives a hard surface mat
stands up well where the traffic is
not too heavy. The result will be
nearly 4.000 miles where the traffic
somi-hard surface highways by
January 1, 1927.
Not only then is neatly half of the
state's system of 6.400 miles of high
ways either paved or ip process of
being hard surfaced, but this work
is being done at a figure far less
than formerly. When Carolina first
began paving its highways, the cost
Ih tnany cases ran as high ns $40,-
000 a mile, while at present the same
type-* road—but of reatly better
construction—is being built at from
$28,000 to $35,000 a mile, including
grading, bridges and paving. In the
western section of the State the cost
may exceed these figures somewhat.
owing to the added expense of con
struction through the mountain sec
tions, while in the eastern part of
the State the figure is often con
siderably less, being in some cases as
low as 926,000 a mile. Where no new
grade has to be prepared,and the
paving is laid on the old grade, the
cost does not exceed $20,000 a mile
under normal conditions.
Os the entire 0,400 miles.of high
ways in the State system, less tnan
1.200 miles remain to be built. More
than 2,000 miles of the non-hardsur
faeed roads have been located, graded
and the surface improved with top
soil and gravel, with new bridges and
culverts put in. These roads will be
improved in proportion as traffic
ovpr them increases, and when neces
sary, will be hard surfaced.
The Highway Commission now
has a system whereby, an accurate
check is kept of the amount of travel
over every road in the Sta e, and
when-a check of the mainenancc
costs shows that this cost is becoming
too large, and the traffic increase
warrants it, steps are then taken to
hardsurface the road in question.
TLls hard surfacing is made to fol
low in the wake of increased travel,
to take care of this heavier traffic.
Thus, for medium traffic condi
tions, a sand-clay or topsoil road, is
adequnte, and th.s type of road can
be boilt for about SB.OOQ a mile. If
the traffic is a bit too heavy for this
type of road, gravel may be added,
making the cost about $12,000 a
mile. This may be adequate for sev
eral years, until traffic increase
sufficiently to warrant paving. Then
the paving can be laid over the same
road grade at a cost of from $22,000
to $26,000 a mile. A large ! nitial
cost is saved, and the road does al
most continuous serviice over a
period of years, until the ultimate
oatlay becomes necessary.
An example of this kind may be
fofind in the road between Maysviile
and Pollocksville, which has just
been paved, as the result of increas
ing traffic. The seven-and-a-half
miles of paying, 16 feet wide, were
laid by a State Highway crew in 31
working days at a cost of $22,800 a
mile. Wiis crew is now working oq
another project, divided into two
shifts, day and night, building from
2,2000 to 2,300 feet of hard surfaced
road each 24 hours.
That is how roads are built .in
North Carolina.

NO EXTENSION OF TIME
Will Be Granted Auto Owners
You’re Safe if You Made an Ef
fort.
Sir Walter Hotel
Tribune Bureau
Raleigh, July 13.—Every considera
tion will be shown automobile owners
who have already made an effort to
secure their license tugs, but who, oil
account of the last minute rush, 'have
not yet been able to obtain them.
Commissioner R. A. Doughton, of the
department of revenue, announced to
, day. saying that only those who have
■deliberately delayed in making an at
i tempt to secure their licenses will be
presented. He was also very well
pleased with the last-minute response
of the people generally over the state,
fully 100,000 license plates having
been secured Saturday and Monday,
leaving less than 100.000 of pie 4<K),-
000 yet to be distributed.
“The department of revenue has
no inclination to persecute anyone in
connection with the distribution of
the automobile licenses, and while
there will be no extension of time
granted, no one who has made an ef
fort to secure a license, even though
he does not yet have it in his pos
session. need worry. There will nat
urally be some delay, especially w'.lrre
-the plqtrrare b»UMI Pent tout t>y-«sf;.S'
because of the terrific last minute
rush, in which the automobile depart
ment was called upon to issue as
many license tags in three days as in
I the previous three weeks. But we
I were equal to the occasion and in a
| few days all the tags will have been
■ disposed of,” Commissioner Doughton
I said.
j Lines of people are still to be seen
j lined up before the entrance of the
I license bureau office in Raleigh,
( though the last two days the line
has not been quite so long.
It is expected that all the tags
will have been issued by the end of
the week.
MAN OF MYSTERY
FINALLY IDENTIFIED
Ltoimle Smith, of Asheville, Had
Suffered From Nervous Breakdown,
Asheville, July 12.—The air of
mystery surrounding the amnesia
victim, who has for the last few
days been held in custody by county
authorities because he could not give
his name or any information about
himself, disappeared suddently yes
terday when Magistrate J. A. Mc-
Intyre recognized the man as I/in
nie Smith, a former employe of two
Asheville shoe-making firms,
j Smith, it now appears, is not suf
fering from amnesia, but from a
nervous breakdown which has al
most totally incapacitated his speech
and probably impaired his mind. The
man lias seemed willing enough to
give an account of himself, but had
been unable to make himself intelli
gible. As soon as arrangements can
be made he will be sent to one of
the State institutions for nervous
treatment.

NOTHING SURE NOW
ABOUT COOLIDGES
. PART IN CAMPAIGN
It Is Stated Officially That
President Is Uncertain
About What He Will Do
in Fall Campaign.
MAY WORK HARD
FOR HIS PARTY
May Not Do Anything to
Aid Republicans Who
Seek Seats in Congress
in November Election.
Paul Smith’s. N. Y , July 13.—0 P)
—President Coolidge has made no
plans at present for participation in
the congressional campaign this fall,
and in l’.ie absence of any announce
ment by him any references to the
! subject that may appear in print
I should be regarded as mere supposi
tions.
The position of the President In thl
1 face of various published reports as to
, his political plans since he came to
I the Adirondacks was made clear at
| the executive offices today. Mr. Cool
.idge came to the offices from Wilke
Pine Camp to attend to a number of
government matters and to receive
, the newspaeer correspondents for the
second time since his arrival ’u the
mountains.
Whether he will enter the campaign
actively or perhaps only to the extent
of making a few addresses late in the
campaign has been a question upon
which no light has been thrown defi
nitely either here or in Washington.
For the present Mr. Coolidge has
contented himself with a policy of
hands off, inasmuch ns the primary
contests are yet to be disposed of. and
his apparent view is that the execu
tive should not inject himself into
I purely party fights.
NETTING BARRIERS ON
THE STATE HIGHWAYS
j Has Saved Many Lives.—Some Exam
ples Shown.
Sir Walter Hotel
Tribune Bureau
Raleigh, July 13.—Which would
you rattier do when you drive off nn
enbankmeut, land on a bed spring
unhurt, or go right on to the bot
tom?
Well, the highway commission
thinks so, too.
I And that is why you see the. new
l white wire netting barriers around
dangerous curves and embankments.
| instead of the old wooden kind. The
old wooden kind was more of a warn
ing sign that a dangerous drop
| yawned below, for if an automobile
d-id strike it, the ear generally went
on throug’ii, taking along several
splinters with it. But with the new
wire netting barrier, it is different.
It stops ’em. Here’s an example.
A few days ago while one of the
highway commission engineers was in
Asheville, one of the large busses op
erated by one of the large hotels
there, came face to face with an au
tomobile being driven by a woman on
a curve. She had cut it too wide,
and in order not to flatten out the
smaller ear, t’iie bus driver 3teered
bis bus into the curve. He missed
the other car, but broke one of his
front wheels, which hurled him across
the roadway and into the wire net
ting barrier. The impact broke off
eight posts, but the wire netting held,
though 'straightened out like a ribbon
by the weight of the bus, which was
suspended in its mesh like a shoe in .
a pullman car hammock. But no I
one was killed or even injured, neither
was the bus badly damaged. If the
wire netting barrier had not been
there they would still have been pick
ing up the pieces at the bottom of
the embankment.
Another place where the wire net
ting barrier has saved literally doz
ens of lives is on the dangerous curves
and cliffs between Black Mountain
and Old Fort, where about thirty
cars have crashed into the barrier,
but practical.y all have been stopped
: by it.
I Although new wire barrier is 1
more expensive than the old wood
I guard rail, it is already proving
. worth the difference in the lives it
I saves.

J. D. McCall, Mrs. White's at
torney, said the move was made be
cause “the p’aintiff is satisfied that
she is not the legal wife of the de
fendant, and not entitled to the re
lief prayed for in this cause.”
The petition to James M. Yandle.
clerk of court, declared that Mrs.
M hite “believed she was the wife of
the defendant” when the action was
started.
The non-support eomplaint of Mrs.
White, the first bombshell to burst
over the head of Mr. White, alleged
that he, as a husband, failed to
support her. left her alone in o. $15,-
000 home nine miles from Charlotte
and neglected her.
Mr. White answered hy-accusing
his wife of extravagant living, and
placed part of the blame on his moth
er-in-law.
The second complaint filed against
Mr. White by “Mrs. White” still re
mains on the court records, and Mr.
McCall said this case would be left
to take its numerical term on the
Superior court calendar.
Mr. White’s attorneys, Conley
Robinson and ,T. M. Scarborough,
have not filed an answer to “Mrs.
White’s damage complaint.
Mr. White, a Charlotte architect,
is being held under a $3,000 bond
for hie appearance in Superior court
in arrest and bail proceedings.
“Just wait until we move,” Mr.
Robinson said regarding the many
accusations by Mrs. White, among
them being the charge that White is i
a bigamist, n debauchcr and a wom
an betrayer.
He is alleged to have three other
living wives, from two of whom he
has not been divorced.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS

Good.— Other Diseases.

Whooping cough nnd measles con
tinued to lead in oases of communic
able diseases reported to the State
board of health for the week ending
July 10th. Both are considerably
in excess of the cases occurring dur
ing the same week of last year, but
are about on a par with the seven
year average that is used as the basis
of estimated expectancy. ,
Typhoid fever, which is usually
reaching its peak towards the first
of August, showed only forty-two
cases. The cases were widely scat
tred, Pitt county leading with five
cases reimrted. The expectancy of
typhoid for tiie week was eighty-one,
and the same week last year showed
'fifty-eight. The typhoid situation
is, therefore, considered unusually
good by officials of the State board
of health. In a number of counties
vaccination campaigns are now being
immunized against typhoid during the
summer.
The figures for six of the most
prevalent of the communicable dis
eases for the past week are as fol
lows : Scarlet fever 11, measles 160,
whooping cough 217, diphtheria 9,
smallpox 12, typhoid fever 42.
