dhr ?tu it h fir I ? r r a lb BEATY A LA8SITER, Editors and Proprietors. Entered at the Postoffice at Smith Bold. Johnston County, N. C., " Moond-class Matter. Ratos of 8ubscrlpiton: One Tear, Cash in Advance.. $1.00 Bis Months 50 A STATE LEGALIZED PRIMARY.' It is surprising that North Caroii- ' na has been so slow in passing a i law for a state legalized primary. It to still more surprising that so little is being said about such a law at Raleigh now. Unless our legisla ture takes hold of thiH matter soon we fear nothing will be done about it at this session. Well do we remember some conventions held in the State last year and some prom ises of a legalized primary made to the voters to got them to over look the outrages committed' in these conventions. County primaries are a little better than nothing but are by no means what is -wanted. Passing County Primary haws for counties here and there will not settle the matter. It is said that nq mat ter of this kind is ever fully sot tied until it is settled right. The county laws are objectionable. They allow too much opportunity to pro fessional politicians. What we want and need is a state wide primary law for all parties on the same day and governed by strict rules like regular elections. This will satisfy the people and will be what we have needed for a long time. We hope our legislators will do this be fore they leave Raleigh. THE CENTRAL HIGHWAY. The meeting held in Raleigh Tues day to consider the Central Highway across the state, from the sea to the mountains, adopted a bill and appointed a committee to secure the passage of an act by the Legislature providing for said highway. A Hoard of Trustees is to be named in the Act and Mayor James A. Wellons, of Smithfleld, was named as the mem ber from Johnston. "The bill provides that the Central Highway shall extend through the counties of Carteret. Craven, be- i noir, Wayne, Johnston, Wake, Dur-' ham. Orange, Alamance, Guilford, Davidson, Rowan, Iredell, Catawba, Burke, McDowell, lluncombe, and Madison. The roads now existing are to be used as nearly as practicable. The Highway Division of the North Carolina Geological and Economical Survey is charged with selecting and designating the route, and to report it to a board of trustees named In the bill, also to the County Commis sioners of each county. The county Commissioners are empowered to appropriate of the general county funds a sum not exceeding $.10 a mile for each mile of tie highway In a county and each city is authorized to appropriate out of its general funds not exceeding $100, and for each one thousand population In excess of the first thousand $25. The money from each county or town or city is to be expended in the county or town or city under the authority of their own officials. The board of commission ers was authorized to us? th/e rood force of their counties on the cen tral highway as may be deemed prac ticable." The roads meeting, held in Ral eigh Tuesday to consider the Central Higiiway was largely attended by Johnston county people. The fol; lowing from Smtthfield and Smith field towns-hip attended the meeting: James A. Wellons, W. D. Avera, J. W. Stephenson, J. H. Kirkman, H. L. Skinner, H. D. Ellington, R. R. Holt, J. H. B. Tomlinson, Ed. F. Ward, F. H. Brooks, Robert Wellons, ! and Dr. A. H. Rose. The Kent Bill prohibiting the eale of near-beer in this State pass the Senate Tuesday night and was sent to the House tor concurrence in some minor amendments. This mea- [ sure will be hailed with delight by , the people of the entire State. The / near-beer business had very few | friends outside of those who deal in the vile stuff. Mr. Taft is glad for once that there are so many Democrats in 1 the House Had it not been for 1 the Democrats voting for the Can-' adian Reciprocity measure it would have failed.
