Active at 104. t Abram Geogory, an old negro, who is a witness at the present term of court, was born in 1803 in Sampson county, moved to Missisippi in 1839 spent -48- year in that State, return- eu io iNortn Carolina sixteen years ago, is hale and hearty and says he never was sick nor ever missed a meal of victuals in his life. He talks interestingly of the olden time. Nev er was "pulled down" in a log-field and alwayj stood his ground on all occasions.- Sampson Democrat WORKLOADS BY TOWNSHIPS. Tax Payer 2! Tillery Outlines a Plan. Dear Mr. Editor : Please allow me a little space in your valuable paper to say a few words in regard to a matter that in terests every man, woman, child and beast of burden in Halifax county, viz : Roads. Being a daily traveler on the roads, both winter and sum mer, amid fair weather and foul - over roads fairly good and roads un speakably bad, naturally I have giv en roads some thought. The old style of "warning in" hands was a failure and the present system of chain gang working is not a success. . While they have done good work in ditching, widening and throwing up the roads, still the county is so large that they do not get over them often enough. Now, the plan I propose (and others with me) is this : I Let each townsh . . f v- CV I JOAX commissioner separate and apart from the county commissioners. Let each township have a pair of mules and a light road machine and split log drag. Let the townshiD commissioner hire a man to run the machine .the year around. Every time the roads are cut up by teams so the water -stands in holes (and this is what makes bad roads) let theT township man work them over and keep holes filled up. This would probably cost each township $1,000 a year to start with which is probably not as much as the present system costs. Now, the above is only a rough outline of what mav bp nnrl in y uiu "i"1'"11 u many, ougnt to be done. I think we should ask our Repre sentatives in the Legislature to give us a law to carry out some plan like the above. I have no ax to grind I only see the need of good roads in our county if we would keep pace with other counties in material progress.

The quality of the genuine sun cured tobacco used in REYNOLDS' Sun Cured and grown on soil where the best sun cured tobacco grows, has caused imitation brands to be brought out and offered as the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured to unsuspecting dealers and chewers who do not look closely at the printing on the box and on the tag. These brands only imitate the outward appearance and do not possess the genuine inside quality that has been found in Reynold's Sun Cured ever since Reynolds' Sun Cured was introduced and which has so increased the chewing of sun cured tobaccos, and proven so popular, that the word ;Sun Cured " is now printed on tags or in the advertising of many brands claimed to be genuine sun cured tobacco. Did you ever see the word "Sun Cured" used in any Chewing tobacco advertisement, oi cn any chewing tobacco tag or label, or in any other way, before it wa5; introduced and used to identify the genuine Reynokb' Sun Cured ? You see it frequently nozv, because many imitation brands are being made to appear as nearly like Reynolds' Sun Cured as they dare with tag, shape of plug and style of package so similar that experienced buyers 'sometimes accept these imitations as the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured. Don't be deceived into taking- imitation brands for the genuine. Be sure the letters on the tag spell " R-e-y-n-o-l-d-s' Sun Cured," and you get the best value in sun cured chewing tobacco that can be produced for chewers. Sold at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts; strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs, with chewing qualities like that which was sold from COc. to $1.00 per pound before Reynolds' Sun Cured was offered to the trade.
