To b« Condemned
Thenction of the chairman of
the County Board of Commission
ers in refusing to sign the order of
the majority of the commissioners,
endorsing Washington for the lo
cation of the Training School, is to
lie condemned. The chairman
himself is to be condemned for los
ing his tem|>er to that extent that
he should older any citizen ot
Martin County from the commis
sioners' , room, much less, one of
the officers of the county, put there
by the citizens of the county to
guard their interests. _
The position of the "chairman is
inexcusable in that lie is under oath
to represent the people in sueh
matters and not further his person
al opinions or Interests, and where,
there is an order by the majority,
of the commissioners it is his duty
to sign it regardless of his own pcf
sonal feelings.
There are a number of towns in
Kastern North Carolina that are
using every available means to se
cure the location of the Training
School within their borders, and to
this end the Chamber of Commerce
of Washington wrote to the com
missioners 2>f Martin County asking
them to endorse the sentiment of
the people of the county in regards
to the location of the school. The
sentiment of the people as express
ed by their representatives at the
court house Monday was for Wash
ington—the majority of the com
missioners voting for Washington
—still the chairman refused to sijni
the order.
Mr. Salisbury acted very un
wisely. Even though lie had
pledged himself for some other
towu it was his duty to sign the
order and abide by the decision ol
the majority. He could easily have
dissented and written his friends
concerning the matter.
It is to be regretted that lie lost
his temper and ordered the clerk
from the room. _
With the coming of the sum
mer season, the Department of \g
riculture is again busy on what
perhaps is one of the most impor
tant phases of Ameiican "develop
ment. namely the good roads move
ment. This is a matter that
should keenly interest every citi
zen of the United States, for it is
the thing in which this country is
the most backward of anv civilized
power on the globe, and it is one
of the things that will do more
than anythiug else to foster rim-l
development, bring the farmer and
the townsman close together anil
make the country a desirable quar
ter to live in. Of course, the de
partment cannot go out and build
roads all over the conntry, but it
has a well-equipped force of ex
perts and is ready and able to fur
nish the best scientific advice on
road building for nothing to any
community thaj wants it. The
Department even goes farther and
puts down a mile or so of road as
an object lesson wherever it can

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT *
In Memory of Eva Hoillday, Passed

Second, That we extend to the
bereaved family our heartfelt sym
pathy ill this their hour of sore
affliction.
Third, that we send a copy of

Duke Again Goes Down in Defeat.
(Special)
111 one of the most interesting
games ever played on the Duke
diamond, Buies Creek beat the
home team Saturday by a score «>f
6 to 5.
Until the fifth inning it looked
as if the home team would be vic
torious, but bunching hits at the
right time, gave the banner to
Buies Creek. Kogerson from Wil
liamston, N. C., the star pitcher
for Buies Creek, who pitches suc
cessfully the "spit ball," pitched a
fine game, striking out 13 men,
against 7by Harrison for Duke.
The features of the game were the
three-bagger by Kogerson, and two
baggers by by Bethuneand Sheeler
for Buies Creek, while the fielding
and umpiring by the Duke team
were its features.
This is the second game between
the two teams. The other was
played 011 the B. C. A. diamond,
the score being 10 to 5 in fa\W of
the home team. J
