OCTOBER 21, 1910
Yesterday was a great day for
Martin County. The Good Hoads
Congress assembled at 11 o clock
in the Court House and Prof.
Joseph Hyde Pratt addressed
the meeting, showing how a pro
gressive people should ge\ in
touch with the movement and the
benefits to be derived therefrom.
W. C. Manning, who is strongly
in favor of the movement-, made
a short talk in advocacy of the
better system of road building.
The object of the meeting was to
get the opinion of the people of
Williamston on the matter. A vote
was taken and there was not one
dissenter. This is a very satisfac
tory condition and shows that the
people are alive to anything for
improvment. Hon. Harry W.
Stubbs in introducing Governor
Kitchen with sentences ringing
clear with the truths of Democ
racy, exposed the perfidy of Hon.
Thomas Settle, of Asheville, local
self government plank with which
he and his party are trying to
fool the people. The day was a
great one for the people and Dem- j
ocrats were pleased. Governor
Kitchin has always been a favo
rie in Martin County and he did
it good yesterday.
