CLAY TO COYER THE
MACADAM ROAD.
The county commissioners at
their meeting yesterday resolved
on a plan to be pursued at once
for saving the macadam in Guil
ford county and at the same time
making a system of roads even
more satisfactory than tne ores
ent system, which has -won
fame in the! nationj
Under the new plan Guilford
county is to have as soon as the
work can be done, 100 miles of
fine sand clay roads, and after
that roads nol heretofore maca
damized will be made of sand
clay, one of the most satisfactory
methods known. The commis
sioners regard their plan as an
experiment but they believe it will
be a very satisfactory experiment,
saving much to the county.
The commissioners Yesterday
decided to spike up the present
Lroads of macadam and put on the
top a sand clay surface. This was
done at High Point last year and
h&s been found to work very
satisfactory; holding firm and
affording much convenience to
travelers. The maradam furnish
ed for the sandclay as good a
foundation as could be desired
and the economy will be largely
in saving these roads which in
many places have become badly
damaged Then the sandclay will
cost only about $500 per mile
where the cost of entirely rebuild
ing the roads would be some
thing like $2,000.
To .the condition of the county
macadam roads in the past few
months the county commissioners
have been giving great attention,
and it will be remembered that an
interview with a Daily News re
porter several months ago Chair
man W. C. Boren, stated that one
of their hardest problems was to
find some method to save the
macadam. Since that time and be
fore they have been devoting
much of their time to efforts to
discover some remedy. They
have attended conventions, con
sulted with road builders far and
near, and as a final decision have
fixed upon the sand clay surface.
In this they believe they have
the material that vill save Guil
ford's more than 100 miles of
macadam. Greensboro News.
Maine Rolls
Back Into Republican
Column.
Portland Maine, Sept. 10,
The political overturn in yester
day's Maine state election in
which the republicans won ack
the governorship, secured three
of the four congressman and a
sufficient majority on a joint bal
lot in the legislature to assure the
election of a republican United
States Senator, became apparent
today with revised and additional
returns.
William T. Haines, of Water-
ville, republican, was eleeted gov
ernor y a plurality of 3,557 over
Gov. Frederick W. Plaisted, dem
ocratic' candidate, of Augusta,
with 28 towns missing.
The missing 28 towns two
years ago cast 751, votes for the
republican candidate and 846 for
the democratic leader.
Congressman Asher C. Hinds,
first district, and Frank E, Guern
sey, fourth district, republicans,
were re-elected by increased ma
jorities, and Forest Godwin, re
publican, supplanted Congress
manJSamuel W. Gould, demo
crat, in the third district. The
democratic candidate in the sec
ond district, Congressman D. J.
McGillicuddy, was ro-elected.
The new legislature will stand
on a joint ballot, 94 republicans
and 78 democrats, with 0 dis
tricts yet to report.
SArsD
GOVERNOR KITCHIN GAINING.
It is the general opinion of
those who travel in different sec
tions of this state that Mr, Kitch
in is gaining grouiid every day.
The fact that all the nearepub-
can papers, and the former luke
warm democratic papers are
having fits and pushing Senator
Simmons to the front and are
bolstering him up as best they
can, only adds confirmation to the
charges that he has left his first
principles and gone over to the
special interests. The only thing
that Senator Simmons has left
to identifiy him with the grand
old party and the principles of
Vance and Jarvis, is his party
service of twelve years ago, and
he has been repaid for this by
having been honored with two
terms as senator.
As Mr, Bryan says, the day,
has come when North Carolina
can no longer follow Senator
Simmons, and the handwriting
is already tracing his sentence
on the wall. The Durham Sun.
McAdoo On Maine Results.
New York, Sept. lO.-Wiliiam
McAdoo, acting chairman of the
democratic national committee,
made the following statement to
day regarding the Maine election.
"We are of course disappointed
that Maine did not go democra
tic this year, but it as too much
to expect. It is a republican state
and the result was determined
wholly by local issues and con
ditions, Maine is neither a barcb
meter nor a thermometer of the
national election. This is proven
by the fact that in first Cleveland
campaign it went republican by
more than 20,000 majority and
in the third Cleveland campaign!
by more than 14.000 majority
and yet the democrats " won in
November. The election is a de
mocratic victory in one sense,
that the republican najority in the
state has been reduced to the
pitiful figures of '3,800. It seems
certain that Wilson and Marshall
will carry the state in November. "

is better also, Mr. O. Thomas our
mail carrier has been feeble.
Mr. Guy Sweaney has had his
house painted and has a new

Ice-cream suppers seem to be
the topic of the young people's

Lots of people are expecting to
