The pur pose of the meeting was the discus sion of the publip roads in Edge rnmhe, countv. Of cours this is not an important issue to any person in the county at present. Our present roads are good enough, and the need 1f improved arid better highways is T but a small matter to the merchant, doctor, lawyer, farmer or any other citizen. At least it would seem that it mattered very little to our citizens whether we had improved roads or not. The largeness of the meeting last night amount to 27 persons pres ent. The Chamber of Commerce has been advertising and talking this meeting"for more than a week, and seemed reasonably sure that the coir,! that wouid be in' attendance at me court house last night would make it possible to make some plans, andKeome' to 'some definite conclu sion as to the intention and policy of Edgecombe county in regard to its good roads. - The meeting was called ' for 8 o'clock. At that hour the pres- ' ident of the Chamber of Commerce, pulled the bell rope and the court house "announcer" made it known to ' the city,' in good round tones, that it was time for meeting tov be called to order. At that hour there were four persons "resent, including the. presi dent and secretary of the Chamber : of Commerce. The bell woke a few who made their appearance and it began to look as though a bakers' dozen might be "mobilized" for the evening's discussion : ; .; - '.'n Just to pass the time away and to relieve the monotony of the passing . of time- Mr. George Howard, Jr., again persuade'd the big bell to take its message to thecitizens 'ofTar boro and surrounding country.1 , One person present suggested that if, the fire bell weire to ring instead of tne court house bell, there would be a crowd on the streets in a very short time. - There were evidently at least that time' who'agresdith'hinv Nevertheless ine secim m"s"b " the bell called together enough1 in terested persons to total 27-. 'present, and President Brown called -the meet ing together and Stated its purpose, and put the question, "Are We Satis fied With Our Present Road System? All who are, please stand;' ttot a man arose. For disctision Mr. .Brown put the question," ''Can the present dirt roads be improved to the extent where they will stand up. under the present traffic the ?eaY around? - Mr. Claud Wilson was' called 'on by the president for a 'discussion, of this question. ; Mr. Wilson was short and to the point, stating: thatf he be lieved it to be absolutely impossible to build dirt roads that, would stand up under the ever increasing tonnage ,'of traffic, the year round. The ton nage now, stated Mr. Wilson might well be estimated at at least one nun dred times the tonnage of ten years ago. One night the drag ..would upon tne merits oi tne sana ciay ana knock off work, leaving a splendid, ( the hard surfaoe roads, stating that ' even surfaced dirt road.

The next day the the sand clay road was what might first few cars and heavy trucks that be termed a nine months road He passed left the road in just as bail, if ; urged the laying of. hard surface - .not a worse condition . than before roads as the cheapest investment in the drag was first used. This was the long run. 'The difference you ..

Edge- for 1920, the depreciation for one fv-pibe county has voted bonds to the , year, and the actual lossage .to the amount bf $100,000. Of this amount ' automobile owner for the year, only $40,000 has been sold, but the; "The county has 2,800 automo $60,000 balance are still held be-J biles to the value of $3,360,000 cause they could not .be sofd at par licensed this year," said Mr. Shackell. .at 6 percent interest.' The outstawi-, "The depreciated on account of bad ing ' floating indebtedness of the roads is 25 percent or $40,000. county ' road' fund at present is Should the county vote a $3,000,000 about $70,000. The expenses foe the 1-bond issue the interest'' on this year were $42,000 and the income amount for one year would be $180, was $36,000'. The increased 'ccst of 000, with a refunding of $120,000. all roads has caused the count to At this rate the actual lossage, not fall behind, and it will fall farther including tires, tubes, gas, etc.,. is behind unless something definite is $540,000. This is not the fault of done, Mr. Weddell stated. He the roads force. It is the fault of recommended the system of, main-1 he material on our roads. It is worn . i; ' 'il. 1 1 I i. I 1 a ! 'li . t T tenance in. sections, wun a aqunu u control, and held .responsible for each section. "There 'are 600 miles of road in Edgecombe which must be maintained, excluding those roads which 'are kept up by Rocky Mount jind Whitaker townships,"- said Mr. Weddell. ? "The county should have an engineer to cut the roads and give them' proper drainage, and see to it that they are ! properly maintained, The gravel; road- will give good ser. L vice and when once laid properly i wjn assure a good, strong, solid foundation." -. . . ... . , i Col., Bridgers compared the ques ttion of miblic - roads with the rail toad avsteni. He stated: that the railroads had : a system of main tenance which was kept up from day hour to "hour. "It is nothing but a fool proposition to build roads and then expect them to maintain themselves:," said Mr Brldeers. "We all wt.nl; good roads but we don$ want-to have to go to any trouble personally to get mem. We are all too willing to 'Let George do it'. Talking good roads is like preaching. As long as many persons are in eood: health religion is not needed, but as soon as illness ap proaches and death is looked in ine face religion is . called upon. It is the same with good roads. As long as we stay at home and do not use Toads, we do not need them, but as soon as we go out on some of the bad roads,-get into trouble, and do a- little work to get out of the trou ble ; we. begin to holler for the good roads. Everyone .ofSus have to have an object lesson before we wake' to the real necessities which confront us. "I believe," continued Col. Bridgers, "that the sand clay road can be made to 'stand up under the present tonnage,- but every mile of read pf any variety that we build will have to -have proper drainage, proper construction and proper main, tenance. We do'not know the value of any road until we test it properly, and" the idea that a road can main tain itself is not a proper test. Main- ' tain our roads or quit. Before we spend another cent on roads let's be assured of a system which will give us the greatest value for every dol lar of our tax monej that we sink inta?tne ' propsitroh'liet' "tfs" b,ui?d the main arteries of .the county first, and the side roads' will fellow. But let's have good roads, and do a little practical, work and not sq much the oretical work." . - Mayo Hardison, spoke of the idea that our county citizens' seemed to have that they were just as wise if not perhaps a little wiser than those citizens in other counties. We were too wise to sink our work in such un dertakings as Rocky Mount, Wilson, ru3vi'ngtoii. and othe' in our section of the state," said the mayor. "The result has been that these cities are leaving us behind. . We have cori du.i.; our city and county as two separate organizations, while they should be merged and conducted as one and the same." , Mr. Hardison here introduced. Mr. Smith, road expert from Maryland, who for some six years hai been con nected with the State Road Commis- sion in that state. Mr, Smith spoke should be properly constructed 'from the very foundation, have correct drainage and must be maintained. . out,, aosoiuiiy ruuen. no koou. in reality -the actual lossage to the auto mobile owner can not be estimated. There is but one solution good roads of the best variety. Build our main roads, which means 80 miles in our county, and then the side roads. poisons cue CM THROAT Postmistress at Lupton, N. C, .

No regular meeting will be Tield oh Tuesday p. m.,' for reason of Murphy Howell concert, as many of the bretheren wish to attend. - By orders of W. M.. ; J. H. Jacocks, Secretary. LITTLE S. R. JENKINS' JR. Little S. R, Jenkins, Jr., the six months old son of Mr. and Mrs.' S. R. Jenkins of near Pinetops, died at his home yesterday. We are now -driving business to other cities that we should have because the. farmer has good roads to go into the other cities upon. We cannot estimate the loss." President ' Brown "People who knock bur roads the hardest are those who are not present tonight. I would suggest that the Chamber of Com merce as a whole act as a publicity committee, and set to work at once to assure a large meeting some time in the' future. We should give a din. ner and ' have everyone there, and then take up the discussion and for mation of plans for our good roads." . M. G. Mann here moved that the secretary of the Chamber be instruct ed to obtain, if possible, from the State Department the names of all the car owners in the county, and to ascertain . from these owners their willingness, or otherwise, for a good roads bond issue, and what they would be willing to contribute or be taxed ' per . annum for good roads. The motion was seconded by Col. Bridgers and unanimously carried. To the. Chamber of Commerce there is due. a great deal of credit for the work they are doing, but they are being backed by only a few, and those few, represent but a small minority of the membership of the organization. The lack of coopera tion in any undertaking- that the secretary of the local Chamber has worked upon ,to date is enough to discourage any nian in as responsi ble a position as Mr. Shackell holds. He is doing his best for his city, county and organization, but he' is receiving about as much help, aid and encouragement as a Mexican rebel in a Texas town. He can not do it all No (business can be run without co operation, and there is no great amount of it being showered upon the secretary . of the Edgecombe Chamber of Commerce.

BrownX The sermon today shall be about the Rev. Father Gavon Duffy, who is going to preach in Calvary church for eight days, beginning tomorrow morning. . . Personally, I myself am hoping for and confidently expecting q very good blesing in my spiritual life from the visit of this good man, and I long to share it with everybody in this town and whole community. Father Duffy was going ,back to New York from New Orleans, and for that reason I was able to get him here, his engagements permitting him to stop over with us for one week. ; He belongs to an order called the Society of the Divine Compassion, the members under the first rule of which are priests sworn to lives of pertetual poverty, celibacy and obedience. These men's lives are de voted by the 'rules of their order to hard, self-denying labor among the poor and sick and outcast. 1 They- have given up for Christ's dear sake, all that men naturally de sire, the, pleasures of the luxuries money can buy, the joys of home, the gratification of ambition, the asso ciation with people congenial to their minds and tastes. They can not own or spend for themselves one cent of money, nor get in any way from life anything more than the bare necessities of food and clothes and shelter. If one of them were to find a nickel on the road, he would have to turn it over to the treasury of the order to be used for ChristV sake among needy men.. They can not even ask any man for money to be used in charitable work, but must ask God for It alone, trusting that He will move those who have it to share it with those who need. II God puts it into the heart of anj to give him money to be used in God's cause, he accepts it and sc used it, but as a matter of course it does hot personally interest him how much or how little it may be Such yolun tary submission to condi tions men by nature fear and dread, does not win respect from the great majority. So deeply ingrained if the love of money and the thingi money can buy, that it is sure , tc seem to most men either foolishness or some kind of fake. But here and there are always a chosen few who have learned the life of Jesus wei; enough to understand. i ; From years of work among sinful people, buth rich and poor, in the crowded streets of great cities and all other the land, and from' daily and hourly contemplation of the na ture of God as revealed in His deal ings with men, sujh men come tt know how to show us the way tc God. So I hope we may be blessed by his visit here. Father Duffy has also been pe culiarly endowed with the gift of healing by God's powe. "If any af flicted people among us have faith enough in God,cr if their freinds have it, to seek His healing grace through the aid of one whom God has gifted in this way, I certainly advise them to take advantage of the op portunity.' Those who have no faith in God, need not from curiosity take up the good man's, time. I would like to say, in c.nelusion, that the Mission of Father Duffy and the meeting at the Methodist church coming at the same time war unavoidable. At no other time was it possible to get the preachers here)' Mr, Earnhardt and I talked the mat ter over and decided that there ought to be plenty of people to fill both churches, and that both efforts going on at the same time ought to have the strength of a united effort, and so be more blessed of God. - Leggett Girl' Gub The girls of Leggetts had their regular meeting at Leggett's school on Friday, April 23, at which time they took up the study of Fats. They assisted the Home Demonstration Agent with a demonstration in Fry ing in Deep Fat, making banana cro quettes. After the short demonstra tion they took up the planning of meals.
