SPITE WORK
WILL NOT PAY
Last Saturday one of our good
friends from the country dropped in
amd was telling us of the trouble
they were having in his section over
a certain road. Now, he said, "this
is hurting Roxbsro, for I know of
?ne case where a gentleman took
out of one of the banks- of Roxboro
five thousand dollars and deposited
elsewhere because the highway com
mission would not build this road."
We know nothing of the merits of
this stretch sf road but we do know
the members of the County High
-way Commission, and we know they
are all gentlemen, interested in the
welfare of the County, and we be
lieve if the gentlemen interested in
this Toad were to appear before the
Board and state their case, and show
that it was a necersarjt^stretch the
Board would give them due consider
ation and if the funds will permit,
see that the road is built; but we
?want to say we t"h i n k the gentlemen
wanting the road are going at it in
?the wrong way, for spite work never
did, and never will, pay. You have
beard the old saying, "you can lead
* horse to water but you can't make
him drink," and it is an old fact you
can net catch flies with vinegar.
We hope the gentlemen inter
ested will get their road, and we
believe they will if they will go
*t it in the right manner, but we
must rememteiH the funds ^for build
ing roads ar? limited in this County
and the Board can not build a good
road by every man's door? they!
would be delighted if they could,!
but no community will be allowed to I
suffer for lack of roads if they can '
'prevent it, and in most cp ses theyj
can, and do, give at least passable
roads to every section, especially j
where these' good roads connect up
with bus lines for the high schools. I
We would suggest to our friend thatj
he get a good delegation and com$
before the Highway Commission,!
talk pleasantly with a smile and
see i^ the road is not ordered built.
CARING FOR THEIR
. OWN HOUSEHOLD
It is an acknowledged fact that
the funds of the town of Roxboro
are running low, and the Town Board
baa been put to it to find ways and
means to meet all obligations with
out raising the tax rate, but it seems
4hey did find at least one thing on
the "special tax" which they could
boost without fear, and that
"special" was the weekly newspaper.
The board -is composed of the fol
lowing gentlemen, representing the
lines of business as indicated: E.
JE. Bradsher, hardware, merchant;
4). B. Crowell, lawyer, E, G. Long,
banker; O. B. McBroom, bottling
works; J. M. O'Briant, hardware'
anercbant.
Now the special tax on T)ic
Csnrier, the -o u!y- n:wepap?r prfW^
Vafcerf in the County was boosted
three hundred and thirty-three and
?n? third per cent, while the lines
represented by the gentlemen above
name* were not raised a penny. We
&o not mind contributing our little
mite to help out in a good cause
bat, hones'tly, don't you think it
wisM have lanhsd a litlle inurr like
the square thing if the . members of
the Board had also been wining Ip

ADD MONEY INCOME
Four co\#s and a flock of Barred t
Plymouth feoek poultry transformed
tlis g;-ain farm of Joe Ridenhor, of
R'ikwetl, in Rowan C plenty, North
Carolina, from a poJrly-faying en
j terprise into one wWch k?eps the
level of work abo-.it the same daring
| the year and in addition pays a hand
some income to the operator.
| The story is told by \V. G. Yeayer,
| County Agent for the Agricultural
I Extension Service of State College,
who say?, "Mr. Ridenhour moved to
his present farm about four years
ago. He -began his-' farming opera
tions by growing wheat, corn, and
other grains. He kept one cow Two
years of grain and cotton farming
convinced Mr. Ridenhour that he
needed something to supply him with
B&re money. Casting about for a
solution, he and his wife decided to
add more cows' and start a flock of
purebred poultry. They did. I
visited them last week and found
that the dependent grain farm, with
its seasons of .overwork and under
work, has beerf (transformed into an
independent f?#i? with the level of
work more nearly uniform through
out the year, art! with an established
weekly cash iiitfome.
Mm. Ridenhour takes good care
of the cream and they now have a
good batter trade in Salisbury. Tie?
sold 996 pounds from the four cows
last year for a total -of about $500
in cash. The poultry brought in
ab:ut half this amount and according
to the increase in flocks and the- bet
ter. production now being secured
from the cows, they expert to raise
their income to over $1000 this year."
Mr. Yearger states that this is
only a small one-man farm but that
it is bringing to its owner success
and financial independence. The
cows and the poultry pointed the
way, he says.
