Probably no Invention for road Im provement has been talked about and written about as much aa the King Mad drag, and It has arouaed groat Interest among the farmer* through »ut the couutry. In the following article from Farming will be found vorne new and Interesting facta about this method at Improving country high way* at amaU cost: Ten yean ago a Missouri fanner who had grown tired of wading through a "slough of deapond" every spring when the roads were soft, and who had aoen his neighbors lose time, money and patience when their wagons were hub deep In the mire or their bones tugging and straining In their harness to get a half load to market, decided that there must be some remedy for this condition. One day In thinking It over he made the astonishing discovery that what made the roads muddy was mud, and that If tlie road was worked Into such a shape that the water would drain off Instead of soaking Into the ground after every rain the roads would ccaso to be muddy. Hs rigged up a homemade con trivance out of an old wooden pump stock that the froat had a|M>lled and an oak post. By tueaua of th»ee pieces of fence board he nailed these together ao that they were held parallel to each other. Then be made a rough plank platform on which to stand and by means of wire hitched his team to this clumsy affair at suofr a point that It would drag along over the road with a slant of about forty-five degree*. He began with the road that ran In front of his own farm. When It was at Its worst be drove up and down from his own front gate to that of his nearest neighbor. Like a buge maaon's trowel smoothing off mortar, It scrap ed along, cutUng down the Inequalities and rough places and filling up the wagon ruts. He kept at It, and, after a number of draggings. In place of the flat baslu that had served as a water course for every storm to settle In, he had built up • road with a crown and aurface that was smooth enough to abed water "like a duck's , back." In TWO PHOTOGRAPH*, BHOWIKO A HO AD B»- PORK AMD APTBB DKUU DBAOOBO. abort, be simply demonstrated the soundness of his major premise, "If 1 can set rid of the mud the roads will cease to be muddy." The device he made be railed a "split log road drag." The man who had by such simple means woraed such wonders with his road is D. Ward King of Maltland, Mo. Even after having perfected the road drag the reason that It worked this wonder wa* not entirely clear to Its Inventor until he received inspiration from observing a hog wallow. He says: "One day I noticed that water was standing In one of these wallewa long after the ground all about It had be come dry. Probably I. had many time* before observed this fact, but not until now had It occurred* to me to Inquire lato Its cauee. Examining the edges of the wallow, I was Impressed with tba fact that It was almost aa bard aa a piece of earthenware. Clearly this waa because the wallowing of the bogs had mixed or 'paddled' the earth and the water together, forming a kind of ce ment which dried Into a hard and practically waterproof surface." The coat of making and operating this drag la so small and the Idea that la embodied in It la so simple that the wonder of It Is that Its application baa not already become universal. Roads can be worked up Into an excel lent condition and maintained at a coat of from $3 to $lO a mile. The dragging accomplishes a number of useful things. The most Important one la that by giving It a smooth surface aad a reundlng shape It makes it pos sible for the road to shed water In atead of absorbing It. Then, kllla the weeda and takes' oat the bump* at the sides of the culverts. It aleo destroy* the old trail and thus prevents deep ruts being formed. The time to nae the drag and the manner Of Its UM are Important. Until a road has been worked late some sort of shape the first dragging abqpld be done when It Is very wet or when It is thawed on top daring the early q#ing. After that the time to drag la after a rainstorm or wet veil when It begins : _ WILLIAMSTON, N. C. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9. 1906 THE ELECTION RETURNS Small Leads the Ticket, Manning Second, Grawford, Third; Whitley Wins By 809 Majority Tuesday election ended the cam paign of the state, county and con gressional officers and considering the lack of excitement or sensa- tional interest the returns show that a good vote was polled. The Democratic vote was up to its stan- dard and showed that very little if any gains had been made by the Republicans in any phase of its ticket. The Democrats were confident of its majority except in two congressional districts of the Eight and Tenth lead and coming home the possibility of the personal popularity of Wheeler Martiu's running a little ahead of his party ticket. Mr. Whitley the Demo cratic representative happened him self to be a man of great popularity and held Mr. Martin's vote down lower than it was last election for THE VOTES BY TOWNSHIPS TOWNSHIPS s w • ' c« •J{2 w 2 2 5 f >5 « ? 52 CANDIDATES TOTALS &2u,os«g ,5;,4~ 1 (55 3 $ 2 3 3 3 o « s 8 I 8 v 3 . 8 ' Corporation Commission: , M'NEIL 148 77 117 90 180 128 180 64 61 138 148 1,331 DOUGLAS 63 15 10 36 39 6 50 3 38 4 « 264 Congress: SMALL 150 80 * —ll9 101 183 128 180 64 60 140 148 » 1,349 WOOD 65 13 9 29 38 6 50 3 37 2 o 242 Senate— Second District: ( ROBERT B.

Iu the convention here the contests were exciting and in some ways bit ter, but when the convention had adjourned all thise bickerings were wiped away and the shoulder of Democracy was strongly and uni formly placed behind the wheel of good goverment and we have a handsome vote as its reward. Going beyond the county, the State has taken back to the folds of Democracy and the whole congres sional delegation, Blackburn the only Republican Representative has lost to R. N.

Hughes with a solid party support, with the federal officers and goverment all newspapers not owned by Hearst and all the funds necessary within easy reach supporting him. The one stood for the control of the large corporations bv the goverment, the other stood for their destruction and division, fighting their corrup tion. The campaign resulted in a victory of 50,000 majority for Hughes, while Hearst's running mate Chandler for Lieutenant Gov ernor was elected.
