Bertie County. :hey are grow ing cabbages in the middle of their main street, au t o mobiles and other traffic finding it im|>u-.-ib!e to travel in the mud. And if the) ean prow labbape there, then .iust think of the |?>tential crop in the hundreds of rural sections with -heir thousands 01 milts of mud. deep mud. to* (And the North ( ar olina Slate Highway and I'ubhc Works Commission is responsible, a direct re(>Tt from that i on charges It is a sad plight the rural folk of North Carolina find themselves in iust now, and at the same time the powers that be hurry plans to sink millions in the Albemarle Sound, a place that rightfully belongs to the fish The rural |>eo(>le of this state will tell you that tbey are almost certain they have been sold out. that a short cut might be built through Camden County and a bridge thrown across the Albemarle, all just to save the face of one recent high" official. When it was suggested that retiring officials of high rank be (iresented with automobile-, nothing was said about building them a short cut and a bridge and at the ex penses of other- who hold lir-t claim- to considera tions. If the highway commission can find no better plate to sink- its several millions reported in its suqilu fundli then for IVte's sake divert it. There are a thousand ways to -fiend money more judiciously than in the way the highway commission ha- s|ient it in the j>ast, is s(iending it now and will firobably con tinue to .-fiend it in the future. Several miles of all-weather road.- could lie built ill each of the 100 counties with the money the commis sion is setting out to sink in the Albemarle, and a legislature, supposedly soil lo Raleigh to represent the people, continues to stand idly by while the all powerful commission continues its wild rampage of rule and splurging The contracts lets far the sigx-r suumire do not become binding within thirty days and it is not too late fur the rights of the people to be protected. ProSt Control Action in the North Carolina General Assembly a few days ago indicates that the big inue of liquor control is turning into a battle far the control of profits. In the first skirmishes, it is quite apparent that the State is going to get the decision, or it will receive a sizeable share of the profits, throwing an other problem into the bands of the individual con trol units. The county units will either have to in crease liquor prices to nainnin the present percent age profits or forego a percentage of the profits. Just to what extent increased prices for legal liquor will boost the bootleg liquor business, no one knows, but it is a settle)) fact that a big wrangle over the profits will have it- effect on the illicit trade The county liquor hoards, particularly the one in Martin County, has not held back in control boards, but as tar as outward progress is concerned, the Pitt County board is though to be taking the lead. The Itoard in that county, according to reports received here, is instituting an txlucaiimial piugiam of its own - against the use of alcohol. And. no doubt, the ac tion of the board there will have more to do with advancing the cause of legal liquor sales and result ing control than big profits which, after all is said and done, is admitted to be secondary in the liquor program. Alumni Values .Viaj and Observer ** Alumni of State College demand "autonomy'' be cause they are angry in an unimportant football squabble. The danger to the college Ls that they may get it. Already a- a part of the Greater University the in stitution has been chosen as the seat of engineering education in higher learning in North Carolina. Ac tion has already been taken to improve its faculty and to develop its curriculum in the effort to make it the gieat te< biological institution in the Greater Univer sity which it ought to be. This advance was made at Stale College over the protests of some of the friends and some of the faculty of the University at Chapel, Hill who wished to continue courses in dupli cation there. Under consolidation. Slate Colelge has already Ireen set upon the way to hrcoming a great institution. Hut for the sake of football some of its friends would have again that "autonomy," the synonym for which is dispersal and com|ietition in highrr learning in North Carolina , Fortunately for North Carolina, the |Hirpose oj[ State College lies in the youth who will come to it lor the high order of technical education which tech nical times rrquire, not in the alumni whose educa tion has Iwought some of them to the |>oint of excite ment over no higher [iroblrm than football.

KOYSTER'S produced for me last season a tobacco crop of fine quality which sold for an average of $562.35 per acre for the entire crop. It was one of the finest I ever raised. I am glad to recommend Royster's i . to all my friends. DOCK AYERS. ?? I used ROYSTER'S for the first time last year and raised the fin est crop ever grown on this farm. It sold for an average of $506.13 per acre. Royster's is superior to any fertilizers I ever used. MARVIN LEGGETT. If you'll use ROVSTER'S. you. too. will say the same thing. Thousands of crops have been testing ROYSTER Fertilizers for half a century. After all, isn't use the best test for a fertilizer? You can make doubly sure of highest quality, field-tested fertilizer if you will only insist upon having Royster's. t We also sell Lime/Cottonseed Meal and Potatoes. Ask us about our service plan.
