VOL. XII. NO.,2 4 PROSPERITY AND GOOD ROADS No County is Prosperous Which has no System of Road Building---Move ment Younj? in the State but Growing-Dr. Hyde's Figures Interesting. State Gioloai-t Joseph Hyde P: att recently issu d some good-roads figures to which in mav be profitable to devote special at tention. During 1910 the total mileage in North Carolina which was specially surfaced —sanJ cl iv, gravel and macadam induced amounted to 559 miles. Adding the mileage reported from the vari otis counties, there are in this S ate 46.850 miles of >public road, of which 4,618 mil s have been im proved This lea Yes more than 42 000 miles Still larking pertnan ent improvement. At the rate of 859 miles a year it will require in the neighborhood of halt a cetifurv to compete the task which the .good roads enthusiasts have set themselves. Such a reflection would be some what discouraging were it not for the fact th it the figures quoted do ni/ibyauv means tell the tohole ~ .story. No one conversant with the situation l>elieves that North Caro lina will have to wait anything like fifty years for a State wide system of good roads. In the first place, there are thousands of miles of I roads which need only the persist ent and intelligent use of the split log drag to put tlietn in exctllent condition considering the am un 1 of tr .ffirpassing over th'm "This little machine," says Dr. Pratt, "Will enable anv county to main ta.in its' dirt roads in first ela s con dition at very small expense-." Uu ,4 er the circumstances the rap «! spread of knowledge and nppreetp tion of the split log rlrag is of fir-t importance to th* good roadscause. Countv after county istakinj» it up, and when its use shall hive become uniform the period of fiftv years r ferred to will have been materi ll\ te uced. Again, no ene heJitves that &$q miles is the best North Cimin can in the wav of annual -road building. Tie movement is still comparatively voting and much I the hard work ot former years has not jet borneTruit A little later the annual mileage built Wl' in crease bv le 'ps and bounds. C un ties a little backward now will be come'converted by the example of m»iea(fgresf-iveneighbors. ' There is not a single instance of a ptos jer uscounlv " reports a c rres po' dent of The S'atcsville I/ind mark who has traveled the Stare from ocean to mountains within the last three years, "wbeTe there has bi e-i no t ffort tow r ard the better ment of the public highways. In every county where there has been considerable effort put foith in bnilding good roads there is an alertness and a business air that are felt at once by the observant trav *. eler " Such » spirit is invariable con tagious.--It will spread with in creasing force until approximately every township in North Carolina ! is alive to the importance of main taining the best possible highways. There will not be required more than a few years to give the State a snbstential system, provided each well-informed man does his duty tn preaching and practicing the gospel of good roads. Thereafter it will be merely a matter of keeping the roads in condition —a task which must by no means be overlooked but which in the nature of the ca«e will be very much less difficult than the one it will succeed. —Sel.

Jackson and wife, fell asleep I in Jesus, January 9th, 1911, after a loug suffering liefore death at last relieved her, and the Father of spirits took her home. She was in ! her eighteenth year. She had bet n in very poor health for about three 'years, being confined to her led about two weeks before her death, j which was caused by the dreadful i disease, tuberculosis. She was a very zealous church worker and was willing and ready at auy time to do what she could for Christ. She otten said she had made peace with God and was go ing houie to die no more. For her merit in Sunday School work, the Superintendent,gave her a Bible which hy her own request was buried with her. Especially was she a good worker and leader in the ?ong services. Though we mis her to much we feel like our loss is bet eternal gain. Si e united with Gospel Lifcht Cluircu at the age of twelve years and was a con sisttdt member till death. She leaves a father, mother, brother and twosiste s, a host of kindred and fiiends to mourn her departure. But we sorrow not as those without hope, for we know ; that she has gone home to be with Jesus The funeral services were con ducted by Rev. A J. Manning and the body was laid to rest i 1 the Methodist C hutch ya'd ou the 10:h, at 3 o'clock p. m.

For sale by All Dealers, j Stand by Your HdmeTcrvn The following from an exchange is true to the point: Thepe is 110 place in this world which, lias a.right io demand more of a man than the one where he gets hi« living. The city in which a man lives and earns his daily bread, or achieves a fortune, is the one to which he owes the best that is in him. Ingratitude as between individuals is the basest trait a man can display. Failure to stand by the dtv where one lives and works and makes a living is a species of ingratitude just as disgusting as that displayed by the man who fails to drmonstrate his appreciation of a kindness done by a friend. The citizen who can stand and listen to another knocking the town in which he is making a living pos* sesses a of nature which is above the comprehension of the less spiritually minded. If jou feel you can't live in a town without knocking it, move to some other. And if you are too poor to move, quit knocking aud soon you wiil be in such good financial condition you won't want to move. > i To the University Alumni oi Martin County The Daughters of the Confedracx of the State, to he (assisted by the aliNimi of the Uuivtrsitv, are | re puting to erect a monument at Chapel Hill to the tnemoiy of the Utiiversitv students who left the institution to take pa t in the Civd' War.
