Roxboro, N. C.f Dec. 2, 1914
If you have any doubt as to this
war tax being unpopular just men
tion it to a few of our citizens who
are touched by it and especially
those who forwarded their person
al check to the Collector for stamps
and had said check returned.
County Superintendent, Rev.
J. A. Beam, who never goes at
anything halfhearted, is taking
much interest in Community Ser
vice Week, and what promises to
be a very successful day has been
planned for next Saturday.
The close vote in many of the
Democratic counties in this State
at the last election will cause our
legislators to go very slow in en
acting many radical measures. If
it gives them cold feet as to bonds
and appropriations it will be a
good thing.
liss Mary Graham of Char
lotte has been elected president of
the North Carolina Teachers Asso
ciation. Good, we are proud to
see the men in at least one prc
fession showing such good sense.
From all accounts this was a vio
selection, made from merit and
not sentiment.
o
If you have any doubt as to
North Carolina being a great and
rich commonwealth just purchase
one of Turners North Carolina a'
manacs and read the list of officers
and the salary of each. You will
doubtless be surprised to find how
many men, ami women, it takes to
look after the various departments.
We are proud of the Old North
State and are glad that she is able
to do things on such a large scale,
even if she does have to issue bonds
ever and anon.

One of the best farmers in the
County, none other than .Mr. John
E. Harris, said to us the other day
that this was really one of the best
counties in the State and was mak
ing rapid progress along all lines,
save good roads, but, said he, we
will have them because we will be
compelled to if we keep up with
the others, and that it was only a
question of time until the farmer
would see his mistake and vote for
Ijonds. For, said he, in no other
way can we build good roads. And
he was everlastingly right.
What about that night' school
which we discussed last summer?
Some of those who were sounded
on this subject said it was too late
then to begin it, but it would be
remembered next year. There are
many more illiterate adults in this
town than the most of you dream
ubout, and a night school would
go' far towards eliminating it. Dont
expect the teachers to take the
lead and do all of this work, but
let some philanthropic gentleman
tike a hand. We guarantee the
teachers will not be found want
ing. It is no use to talk bonds just
;now, for our people are in no con-
tin to increase taxes, but it

g;7hat wants good roads, but near
all of us want them in different
V .ays. So the thing to do is to get
together and find the best way. If

If we were a member of the
Farmers Union we would talk,
and taljk, and talk in the lodges
until we got .others to our way of
thinking and then at some County
meeting would talk some more and
get others to talking, and then
there would be some resolutions
adopted and a committee appoint
ed to go before the County Com
missioners with, facts 'and figures
concerning the desirability of hav
ing a County Demonstration
Agent. It would not cost the peo
ple of the County a penny and
would be worth more to the farm
ers than any one act the Commis
sioners could do, at the same price.
