North Carolina, Friday, march 3rd, 1922 NEGRO GETS FEDERAL JOB OVER WHITE MEN Washington, Feb. 28.—Piesident |f Harding and the Republican party have had their way. A negro is to be recorder of deeds for th« District of Columbia and all that is needed for him to take over the office is that he takes the oath, hang up his hat, over coat, take a seat and get to work. This is so because one afternoon last week the Senate confirmed the nomina tion of Arthur G. Froe, a negro law yer and Republican politician of Welch Va., for the position. The negro will succeed a white man John F. oCstello, of the District ol Columbia, named by Piesident Wilson to take over the oflice from the Geor gia negro who is a member of the Republican national committee, "Link Johnson, who had held it under for mer Republican administrations. Need less to say that the Democrats voted against confirming the negro to the oHice and that he Republicans voted iij put him in charge. And so by the nomination of Re publican President and the votes ol Republican Senators white men and white women, a number of them young girls, are to take orders from a negro. The corespondent of the News and Obserfer has received let ters from North Carolina Republicans denouncing him for saying that Pres ident Harding would appoint a negro to office, and they are invited to in spect the official record and Icarii that Froe has been appointed and confirmed. THE EASTERN CAROLINA CHAM HER OF COMMERCE Dear Sir: This letter, though in circular form, is intended to lie u personal note fium your President uiul Temporary Sec; retary. This letter is to announce the creation of an Eastern Carolina Cham ber of Commerce, comprising the Coastal Plain region of North Card lina and all the the thirty-nine coun ties east of the main line of the At- I lantic Coast Line.. The Kastern Carolina Chamb°i oJ jConimerce, which was definitely iaunca I'd at (ioldsboro on February 15th, g was organized to promote, develop, and protect every interest incluiled in the Coastal region of North Carolier, to employ every means posible to com bat the pestiferous little bug known as the boll weevile; to wage un inten sive campaign lor raising cotton aim tobacco oriyl after our children can "ilrink plenty of wholesome milk; have access to a variety of fresh vegetable sweet potatoes irish potatoes chick ens, turkeys, eggs; to ruise cotton am tobacco only after we have made oui farms self-sustaining by producing -every pound of meat, every bushel ol corn, every gallon of syrup every bun die of hay; that is needed for mar and beast; to advertise eastern Caro lina resources to eastern Carolina folk and to the outside world. The Eastern Carolina Chamber ol Commerce is not a Staee Chamber of Commerce, and is organized for tin purpose of dealing with problems com mon only to this Coastal Plain region, and unknown to other tactions of the State. May we hear the clarion call of eastern North Carolina and unite our every constituency toward the reali zation of our dreams for this section. May every resource, moral and finan cial be marshalled so that the boll weevil will not cause depressid nto stalk through our streets and high ways. May we hear the cry of the drummer boy, who, ordered by Napol eon to beat a retreat, answered: "Sir I have never learned to beat a retreat, but I can beat a march that will-waki' the dead and make them live and fight 1 again."

FORD AND MCCORMICK IN $1,000,000,000 WAR There is a war on which does not ile. erv el lie attention of the Hague Tribunal, the Ueague of Nations or any other body which concerns itself with producing peace. It is the Bil lion Dollar War. The war between the princes of the tractor industry, >Mr. Ford and M. McCormick. We call it the Billion dollar War because the combined resources of the Internationa lllarvester Company and the Ford interests must easily reach that large round lgure. General Ford was the aggressor, lie cussed the frontier two weeks a go cutting the price of his tractors Horn 625 to Last week the Harvester Company reduced the price of its tractors $230 and offered to throw in, free a three furrow plow or a tractor disk harrow with each purchase. Mr. Ford says it is his aim to sell a million tractors a year. Harold Mc- Cormick, who has put grand opera a siile for the time being and is sing ing the song of business, tels his staff that the Sarvester Company must out sell Ford. Consider the dadzled farmer. He stops sorting seed corn and watches the battle of the giants. Every gun lied shoots money into his pocket. He will not attempt to arbitrate. He will pick the tractors which suits his needs and his purse. A war like this may-be hard oil the treasury of a Ford or a McCormick, but it is a good thing for the cpun try. ReduOed prices meean bigger sales. Bigger sales mean busy fac tories and fewer unemployed. The money comes from tlu farmer, i nil, after passing through two or tbw hands, goes back to him. Tractors solve the farmhand problem. Trac tors result in diversified criy»s. Trai tors mean a bigger production of food and more to eat ofr everybody at low er prices. The increase I use of trac tors seimulates the ircn and oil bus iness If Mr.. Ford and Mr. McCormick can stand the war, wh) shall deprive them of their pleasuer? - New York Herald.

The con tract 1 was awarded to The Southern Willite Company of Richmond. The roud is to be eighteen feet wide, con crete base with asphalt topeka top and wil be one of the best roads now being built by the Highway Coramia sion. It will be known as a Federal Aid road and for that reason will be constructed according., to the general plans of the National Highway Com mission. The bid for the road was $346,433 and the brjdgw and structure bid lot j to O F Leighton, Inc., waa $12,813.22. f Work will begin in the next twu \sr three weeks und the job will be com peted by January Ist, 1923 if the weather permits. This road will be 1175 miles to the Beaufort county line and from there to Washington 10.60 miles, making the total distance to Washington 21.77 mile.'i, and added to the Washington-Chocowinity road makes it one o? the longest single hard surfaced roads yet built in the State. With the completion of links from Chocowinity to Vanceboro a road to New Bern, a distance of fifty-six miles will be hard surfaced. The road to the Halifax county line is now heing laid out and work will start in u few weeks or just as soon as the survey can be completed. Wash ington county is now building a road from Pylmouth to Ward's fridge, which will draw from our own county to Plymouth :>>.d that of course means that we will build a road on to tho Washington ccunty line. HELP OUT IF YOU CAN It is admitted by everybody that we need roads and we are finding out that we must have them. The only ques tion before us is how are we to get them. The present method seems to be the l«*st system yet discovered and any one who can beat it will do the 1 country a great good by making it ' known.
