Correspondent of Hickory Record Taket Editor Charlotte Observer to Task for Condition of Roads in Mecklenburg County. Recently The Charlotte Observer car ried an editorial commeut ou the condi tion of the sand-clay roads of Western North Carolina, describing their impassa ble condition since the recent wet spell. The article was copied in The Hickory Record and a correspondent, Mr. W. H. Barkley, saw it. He does not like The Observer's attitude toward Catawba county roads when Mecklenburg roads are so bad. He says: "To the Editor of The Record: "In the issue of your paper July 21, 191, I notice an article headed ' The Roads' by Charlotte Observer. This article- by the Observer advocating hard surfaced roads, which I do not think would be contrary to my views after due consideration of the best way of con structing permanent roads. "This article as you remember reads this way in a portion of the article: 'We believe it will today be found impossible to make the trip from Charlotte to Ashe ville by either Cliiumey Kock or over the Central highway through Hickory, Mor ganton and Old Fort.' The contention of the writer of this article being that the sand-day roads in wet weather as we have recently had got boggy an. I almost impassable. This content ion also is not contrary to mv views as a commercial traveler with reference to our sand clay roads up this way. Hut the point I want to make is just this I had rather have sand-day roads in and out of season, win ter or summer, spring or autumn, than to have such roads as the wealthiest county in the state lias at this present time. Mecklenbuig county. 1 point to roads particularly from Mt. Holly to the city of Charlotte, and from Charlotte to Cor nelius. Theso roads have got one hole after another almost equal to caves and lag outs, and if you were to happen to get into one of the larger ones it would take a goo. I ii'. I derrick to lift you out. "These paiticiilar roads are known to every tourist and commercial traveler to be about tin' worst of any public roads in western North Carolina. We have heard so much about how to build good roads and when' to build good roads that I have ju-t about decided that the one, all and most important condition fac ing all the counties of this section of the state is that charity begins at home. I want it absolutely understood that 1 am for better roads ami will champion that cause in my home county at all times, but I do want to travel on roads in keeping with the roads of my county when I go east from Mt. Holly in the di revtion of the Queen City of North Caro lina. ' ' W. II. BARKLEY. A "WRESTLING PARSON. Subscribe for The Gazette $2.00 Year DISTINGUISHED SERVICE CROSS AWARDED TO CAROLINIANS.

The following article by Mr. F. V Lewis, recently appearing iu The Ral eigh News and Observer, will be of in terest throughout this section. The chap lain referred to, Rev. E. S. Currie, was formerly a star baseball and football player at Davidson College: Chaplain Currie, who has won fame on the Rhine is "The Wrestling Parson'' in his go-to-church campaign among the soldiers, is a Tar .Heel, in his earlier days he was a famous baseball player and subsequently he was a Presbyterian minister at Raleigh. He has a way peculiarly his own to induce the boys to attend religious serv ces, and it is a great crowd-getter. It is said that he has been putting on an ex hibition in Leusdorf every night, and ev ery n i ri he throws promises to induce live other soldiers to return with him the following Sunday. Though he meets many expert and scientific wrestlers, he has been winning about per cent of the matches. His way is very attractive to the soldiers, and it may be imagined that " The Wrestling Parson" is not on ly popular but -that he is accomplishing a great deal in the work of saving men's souls. Chaplain Edward S. Currie, whose present rank is first lieutenant, was ap pointed to the place he now .occupies Fid) ruaiy 1, l!H from Cumberland county, North Carolina, and he was a Presbyte rian minister at Raleigh when he received his appointment. He was attached to the Y. M. C. A. in the second division, which is now on the way to this country. and it is assumed that Chaplain Currie is with the division, and that he and oth er Tar Heels who are with him, w ill soon be back among the people of their native State. Chaplain Currie is a cousin of Mrs. Jo sephlis Daniels and Mr. Henrv M. Lon don, of Raleigh. This '"Wrestling Parson," who has I n the spiritual adviser of the hoys "Over There." and who it is believed, has played well his part in the struggle for universal liberty and world-wide de mocracy, will go back home stronger, if need be, in his religious faith, and well schooled in the art of reading human character. Being thus more strongly equipped for his life work, it may be ex pected that he will achieve many tri umphs in his war against evil, and iu the end demonstrate to the world that "peace hath her victories no less re nowned than war." Cotton Mills For Shelby. Cleveland Star. A prominent (iastonia citizen here this week said that another (Jastonian asked him why Shelby was so successful with her political aspirants whereupon he an swered by asking: "Why is (Iastonia so successful with cotton mills? '' This (iastonia man said Shelby is successful politically because her citizens talk and study politics, while (iastonia people think and study the mill business. He ventured that Shelby and ('lev eland coun ty are as able financially to build mills as (iastou and that our citizens are as competent business men as (iastou folks. This leads to the point we wish to em phasize. Our people could build several cotton mills and manage them successful ly and we need institutions of this kind because we are in the best cotton produc ing section of the cotton belt. England and the East will no longer In' able to control the textile industry be cause of their high wages, labor troubles tnd transportation d itlhult ies. We are in the cotton belt and have every advan tage over England and New I'ngland. merica is destined to control the tex tile trade iu foreign countries and with uir merchant marine, we have every ad vantage in this industry. The high cost f building mills now does not frighten the people of (iastonia, (iaffney, Cherry -ville, Rutherfordton. Kings Mountain and other places. They are going right a- head with mill construction for they have business foresight enough to know that the South is to control the textile indus try and that we have every advantage over competition if we will only grasp it. Shelby needs more payrolls. We need to manufacture something that is sold on outside markets to bring money here. We are logically located for textile enter prises and if we grow , we must build and mild now.

Last Friday afternoon about ti boys and girls spent a happy hour from tj to 7 o'clock on the Presbyterian lawn lis tening to the interesting stories which Miss Wilson told them.
