FRIDAY, April 25th, 1913 BONDS The clipping from the Ashe ville Citizen in this weeks issue shows what the outside world thinks of Madison bounties is suing bonds for the improvement of public roads. All most all of t he prpgressive Counties in the State. are building good roads and we are glad to see that our county is joining in the March of progress. The Counties like Buncombe, Mecklenburg and Guilford that have issued bonds and built good roads are now reaninz the reward for their foresight in this matter. The present t a x rate in Madison County is almost as hish as any other County in' the State, and yet we have the worst roads. The Counties that have good roads and have bonded have a much lower tax rate. The good roads will enable people to come in our couuty and find out some thing about our great natural resources, and in this way wealth will flow to us and taxes de crease. No one can dispute the advantages of good roads. 1 The" Highway Commission of Madison under the lawtnust give to each township in the County its proportional part of the mon ey coming from the bond issue. In this way a system of good roads can be built up that will connect the different parts of the County. This will not only build up and develope the whole county in a material way, but it will enable the citizens of the different sections to enjoy great er social priviliges and make life more enjoyable. The Highway Commission will hold its meetings in the court room in Marshall, and these meetings will be wide open to the vublic and every man will be heard who has anything to say for the betterment of the County. We feel that there is better things for our county in the future, and we hope that every loyal citizen will aid the Highway commissioners in every way possible. Lecture Course. It is time to think of a lecture course for Marshall, for next winter. The past winter has been one without anything tak ing place. Even the usual so cial events were not held and ; the lack has been felt. We do ( hope next winter may see the lecture course re-organized and that we may have something to go to. There is an objection of-. . ten offered that the price is high, , but if more persons would, subs cribe for tickets the price would h& lower,1 T h e News-Record would do anything to, help along this which to a , certain . extent gWes tone to our community and places us with the better class , of towns and cities. Why not strive for a lecture course next - year and have also something for local talent to do and see if we cannot liven up' the com munity.

Work. Will Be Started Within the Very Near Future Commis sioners' Meeting Largely At tended. MARSHALL, N. C, April 21. This was a great day for the good roads enthusiasts of Madi son county, the members of the board of commissioners having decided to issue bonds to the a mount of $300,000 for use in good roads work. For the past seve ral weeks, Madison county be- lrevers in improved highways have been working for a bond isjue, and the news that the commissioners voted forjthe is sue will be learned with a great deal of interest in all parts of the county. People from all parts of the county were here for the com' missioner's meeting and the gath ering was attended by several hundred people, practically all of whom were in favor of the issuance of bonds. The early morning train brought scores of visitors from Hot Springs and buggies, automobiles and wagons were used by others who were desirous of attending the meet ing, hearing the tiral arguments in favor of tho bond issue and called for. Sentiment was strong for the issuance of the bonds and the speakers who appeared be fore the members of the board of commissioners were greeted with rounds of applause as they pleaded for the passage of the bond issue. The three members of the board were present: W. C. Sprinkles, R. A. Edwards, and R. A. Tweed. Following the decision of the commissioners the following tele gram was sent by Guy Roberts to Si ate Geologist Joseph Hyde Pratt: "A bond issue for $300,- 000 passed. Want at least sixty convicts immediately. In accordance with an act passed at the recent session of the general assembly, state con victs will be put to work on the roads by the first of June, Dr. Pratt having announced that he will send surveyors to Madison county during the early part of May. That portion of the cen tral highway, extending from from Buncombe county line to the Tennessee line will be com pleted and other roads will be construed throughout the county- Following the decision of the commissioners to issue the bonds for a fund for the construction of good roads. Ed. Rumbough the owner of the Mountain Park hotel at Hot Springs announced that he will spend the sum of $50,000 on improvements to that hotel. Mr. Rumbough was an active supporter of the bond issue. Asheville Citizen. Mr. Bryan's Religions Work. That the Secretary of State is a force for moral and religious life quite beyond any other man among his fifty thousand fellow citizens,"" is asserted without qualification by a clergyman of Lincoln, Neb. Mr. Bryan is a case of the prophet honored at home. He is a "model as a citi zen and as a neighbor.'" He seems to have been a normally developed Christian boy says the Rev. Thomas M. Shipherd in The Conereeationaliat (Boston.)! At fourteen he declared his faith, and from that time till now he has worked at this profession as he was given to understand it. W read: "His has been an intuitive and positive faith. Hia interest in reliction has been intellectual only as he has - found arguments; to buttress the faith, that was In him.' '. ' '; ';" .'-"." '? : ,'v. , "For him there are no intel lectual difficulties the soul of :li;:ioa in its simplest forms was ia l.im and is unshaken to this C y- Doubt seems never to have dwelt in him, as is tho case with many men. His participation id church work and life does not suffer vacation moods. He giv es a tenth of his income to the work of the Kigdom. He has probably given more money, ; r 1 v "A social em prises in the city of Lincoln than any other citizen. He has done this In a way that has kept the fact from public knowledge. "it is with undisguised pride that he will tell you that he holds the membership of longest continous standing in the local V. M. C. A. He keeps in the building a room which he uses very occasionally and which he provides as a guest-room at the disposal of the association. Not only have'a great number of the religious organizations benefited by his generosity, but every pub lic enterprise of importance ap peals first to Mr. Bryan. "So far as ono can discover, Mr. Bryan has no spendthrift habits save that of the benefi cient citizen and the tithing Christian. No more un assuming citizen walks the streets of Lincoln or rides in its street cars. There seems to be no craving for luxury," no concern for pretense. He is as open to approach as an unspoiled child. As he has a feeling for an audi ence and an intuition that guides him to a response from it, so he has a feeling for an individual and comes into sure comradeship with individuals. There is more than shallow policy, for herein lies the genius of the man, he is infected with an unyielding in terest in folks. He is a good fellow because ho likes fellows as he likes nothing else." Mr. Bryan is a Presbyterian, but the little Methodist Church near his home at Normal often sees him. "His tolerably wide hand shaking experience has not wearied or sickened him of plain folks." He is ever ready to de fend the proposition, that the small village church is an intitu tion more valuable, more Chris tian, than the stately, pretenti ous chilled city church. Furt her: "Tho children were brougt up in the little neighborhood church; the mother long had a class of young people in the Bible school. One child has since become an Episcopalian and one a Congregationalist, while Mr. and Mrs. Bryan give their immediate support to the Westminister Presbyterian Church in South Lincoln that they may aid the new enterprise that went out from the mother church down town. "In the establishment of a university pastorate by the Presbyterian Church three years ago, Mr. Bryan was a prime mover and a chief supporter. His word at the Congregational conference last year was effec tive in starting some of the slow er brethren to the same end, and so the establishment of a univer sity pastor for Congregational students at the State school is in a measure due to bis influence. "It is probably true that the Presbyterian Church at large wouldj name him as their first layman, and yet he is like the laymen generally in this part of the country, he has no absorbed or exclusive interest in the Pres byterian Church as such. He is first a Presbyterian because this Church was bis alma mater, but his prime interest is in the King dom and the Kingdom motive." Educational Conference Opens Today. Richmond, Va.; April H. While the first session of the con ference for education in the south does not begirt until Wed nesday morning, hundreds - of delegates arrived today to at tend meetings-of various depart ments and groups. ( A letter was received from Robert C. Ogden, of New York,' president of the conference, stating t h a t he would be uuable to attend, and indicating a desire to have some other members elected in his place. Executive officers replied that he will be elected again by unanimous vote. Fourteen se perate bodies, each of school workers, will meet tomorrow. .This is the meeting to which Prof. Buckner has gone and it promises to be a very fine one. J ' Furniture, CcCm arid To the editor News-Record: ' Iu-the way of "explanation - of the bill providing for a Record er's Court for Madison County and also in answer to an open letter by Mr. pritchard address ed to the County Commissioners and published in your columns last week, I beg to say: , First. Tho bill was not pass ed at the suggestion of any law yer or number of lawyers from the Marshall bar. A great many of such bills was being passed by the representatives of vari ous counties and finally toward the end of the session Mr. Rec tor and myself took tho ' matter up for investigation and learned that a great number of the coun ties in the . state already had such courts and that they were working well and that the people were greatly pleased with them and that Transylvania County had requested their representa tive to create such a court and he had done so and it being too late for us to confer with the people at home, we passed the act leaving it in the discretion of tho County Commissioners to establish it. Second. On the first Monday of April, while the Commission ers were in session some of the members of the bar. that had read the bill which the Secretary of State had sent to the Board called the bar together in Mr. McElroy's office and Mr. Pritc hard was sent for and together we discussed the advisability of recommending to the Commis sioners that the court be estab lished under the bill and no ad vantage was taken of anyone whatever. Third. It was the opinion, of most if not all the lawyers at the meeting that it would bo a great saving to the county in the way of court costs, in that it would give a speedy , trial to all vidlat ers of the law and dispense with the necessity" of anyone laying in jail from five " to six months awaiting their trial. I think anyone who reads the account will come to the con clusion the court would b a great saving to the county in the way of jail and court cost. C. B. MASHBURN T?pnnrfc of Condition of .'
