Roxboro, N. C, Dec. 15, 1915
For a long time we have been
trying to. figure out why so many
real good farmers were opposed to
bonds for the purpose of building
good roads, but until recently we
could not solve the question satis
factorily. However, since seeing
a sample of real good roads and
talking with some who were class
ed among those as being opposed
to. good roads we have finally con
cluded that they really are not op
posed to the question at all, but' P05 such issues Now we can eli
ty to ieel the effects of 'this mover
mentand it can be done without
serious hurt to atty" man or any
man's pocketbook.' That it is only
a very few years, until the County
is going to yote bpnds for this
work is a foregone conclusion ? to
any. one who has given the matter
any thought. But why an elec
tion? We all know that elections
are expensive, aside from the fapt
that every bond election creates
bitterness, for there are and al
ways will be some who will op-

that you were only bluffing let's in the Spring declare for a bond

It is gratifying to us to see so
many of the papers of the State
making war on those who about
this time of the year insist on
writing it "Xmas" in place of
properly writing it Christmas.
Just why so many wise men, ed
ucated men, adopt this fool way
of writing a day which is to com
memorate the birth of our Lord
and Saviour has always been a
mystery to us. In this print shop
it is not allowed, save among ad
vertisements, and advertisers have
a way of saying almost anything
they want to, inasmuch as they
pay for the space in which it oc
curs. Spell it out ink and pencils
are cheap and to the average man

job would not buy n any shares of
steel stock.

the time when youc-onie to town
and look it over.
But we are not willing for this
good work to stop within the con-!
fines of Roxboro township, we
the entire County will be eared
for, and'every man in the County
will be so near a good road that
everyone will receive the benefits.
Why not adopt this method, for
good roads we must have, good
want every township in the Coun-'roa(is we are m to have.

Again the correspondent of the
Greensboro News, independent,
has discovered a mighty mares
nest among the politicians and
would be candidates down at Ral
eigh. This time it has figured out
beyond a certainty that Dr. Clar
ence Poe and a few other mighty
good farmers, among them Hon.
J. W. Bailey, Collector of the
Eastern District, are on the war
path for the various officers, with
Dr. Poe slated for Governor. Oh,
no, not for next year, but for
1920. This prophet of the Greens
boro News, independent, has fig
ured out an awful fight among the
Democrats over this matter in
1 920, but inasmuch as he has giv
en a little more than four years of j
grace the average Democrat will j
not lose much sleep over it just at
this time. However, in passing we
will say that the good people of
North Carolina might go a good
deal farther and do much worse
1 1 an to make Dr. Poe Governor.
The first week in January we open
our Christmas Savings Club with ONE
HUNDRED enrolled. Start now to
save for next year. Join our Christmas
Savings Club and have money for Christmas.
For further particulars, see us we
will be glad to explain. Announcement
