Suggests Changes in Roads
Sugge ; >tii.g u thal Highway N>. H from Greenville I
uT Bethel lieTxTnulnT tu uk City and thatoll.ii j
change., be made in the roads in ihis launly, Mr. S.
J Everett, Greenville attorney, writes:
The extension of Highway No. II from t.reeuville and |
Bethel »o Oak City, touching No 125. appears to me {
tu afford Williatlistoh aild Hamilton, and all the folks .j
/between, Hamilton and Palmyra, and also Scotland ,
Neck, a splendid opportunity to make No 125 about i
eight miles shorter between WiHiamston and Scotland :
Neck in follow 11ik the old stage coach and county r,, ad
"from Hamilton dtrectlx west to Scotland Neck instead |
of going by Oak lily , arid let No. 11 be extended so j
as to make that part of 125 from Oak City by Hobgood I
to Scotland Neck wliere it would come into 125 again, j
In this way your tobacco market, your water freight J
rates for oil. gas. and fertilizer, and fartn products J
would give Wtlliamston access to a ,new eighteen milr
streak of road what used to be some of the best *farr.i
land in this section, and which is partly" in disuse bo
cause it is now inacessible. I refer, of course, to that
section between Hamilton and Palmyra which run?
directly .by my- old howe — t
 Ihis call be done by lettiiV Hamilton and (ioose Nest
township take over and maintain the Highway between
Hamilton and Oak XJily. .and get...the State Highway.
Cum mission to build No. 125 directly to Scotland Neck,
and in doing this it would take at least seven miles of
road maintenance altrr allowing for the six miles be
tween Hamilton and Oak City, offering the township
and county, in addition to opening up and putting ad
ditional value of the tax list mt which was. and what
would be now some of the best farm lancT in the county.
i his road change would lie ait advantage toMartin
county from every point of view I ake your map and
study the situation This is the time to act mi this mat
ter, aud I think whejn it is brought! to the attention
of your people, they will realize the opportunity, and
the iieccssity ot acting upon U
Mr Everett's suggestion sounds very kmml when
viewed from thr surface', and his proposed change
would aid tlaflic K l,ln K to Scotland Neck, YVeldon and
Richmond. However, when it comes to serving the
citizens of Martin county, the attorney's proposed
change would isolate many of them. To maintain a
good road from Hamilton, Oak City and Hobgood

wouk) coat those two township* too much and would
practically isolate them from the remainder of the
county.
The. suggested road would not serve more than a
tenth of the people of those two townships, while the
present route, 125, serves a majority of them, Oak
City being Hamilton's shipping point. The ditcon
tinuance of that part of No. 12S, now connecting the
two towns, would mean their isolation. Tne proposed
change would also be very inconvenient to a large
section of the county embracing the Haaaell, Gold
Point, Robersonville and Parmele sections in their
traffic northwardly. The change would also make it
necessary for most of the people in Goose Nest town
ship to keep their own road in order to reach the
county's courthouse.
Only recently we were told by the District Highway
Commissioner that Ma#tin county had no money
coming to it for building more roads. A change,
therefore would mean that 125 would soon be placed
in the step-child dars.
Tne Greenville Preaches
J
The qw lion has been raised as to whether the
p achers of Greenville did right last Sunday night
when they preached against the sins of their city,
It must be admitted they had s precedent for God
sent his preachers to warn Nineva. Lot was com
missioned to preach righteousness in Sodom and
Noah preached against the sins of the world for a
hundred and twenty years or more.
Greenville preachers are to be commended for
their stand in a united and pointed campaign against
the things that are wrong. Of course tbey will meet
with opposition in their campaign and they Will be
told that they are all wrong. Their meeting with op
position is not strange, for Jonah was criticised when
he preached at Nineva. The same was true with Lot
at Sodom.
Business and society demand the Church to adjust
itself according to their dictates. The Church demands
business and society to found themselves on principles
according to its teachings. It is just like it was a
thousand years ago.
The (ireenville preachers proved themselves worthy
of their tasks when they centered their charges on
t,|*cific sins of their own people.
What will the people of Greenville do about it is
also an important question. God failed to find enough
faithful ones to save Nineva and only a few were
saved from the waters of the flood
When the preachers tell the people that all men
everywhere must obey God, they will have done their
duty just as Lot, Jonah and Noah dtd of old.
Times Must Be Better
Times must be better in North Carolina. Accord
ing to informating coming from the motor vehicle bu
reau, there were about a third more automobiles sold
the first half of this year than were sold for the same
period last year.
year 28 per cent were paid for in cash. This
year 42 per cent were paid for in cash.

coon and a ball pottum with whteh
to experiment at to how a coon can
whip a dog and a dog cap whip a
'pouum and a 'pottum can whip a
coon. V
I will admit thit it rather a tangled
up fight. Alx>ut the only reaton a
'pottum will not whip a dog it that
Ihe it athamed to get down on a
ltvel with a dog and fight him. Have
you ever tried to thake a 'pottum out
oi a tree? If you have, you know how
they hold on to a Unb with their
mouth and tail. Thit it the way a 'pot
tum whipt a cooii TC a cat. He holdt
on with hit eyet thut tight, only tam
ing loot* to set a better grip and ut
ing hit tail like a rope and a lath to
choke and fight with. A 'pottum. tlow
at he teemt to be, at times it quick
at an eagle or a cat, and when he
will fight, he ia at a rule, matter of
the combat .
If you want to tee how quick an
opoeaum it juat drop a big torn cat in
a barrel with a 'pottum and the 'pot
tum will alwaya get the first grip and
hold on and mil the poor cat can do it
tquall one and do the Charleston
dance.
The only time a 'pottum will light a
dog it when the dog goes down.into a
hollow ttump after him. He will take
the dog on for a round or two and
generally wina the fight. If the 'pos
sum would "only fight tfie~Jog out m
the open at he will a coon or a cat,
he could make it intereating and hot
for the hound, the ttrong police dog,
ithr St. Bernard or even (tie great
dane.
I tuumit what I have said at a
matter of hiatory about dogs. catt,
