Every man in the county, democrats and republicans, who holds politics above the welfare of the county, every fellow who prefers to make a political asset out of the road question, and every little fellow who wants a job and knows his only qualifi cation is his political service, will be found fighting the new road law.

Duncan, president of the Merchants National bank of Raleigh and a director of the Norfolk Southern Railway, has made an offer to buy the States interest in the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad. It extends from Goldsboro to Morehead City, 94 miles and is now leased by the Norfolk Southern for a long term of years. Mr. Dun can offers what is considered i fair price for the road and it is quite likely the legislature wil sell it, as it will afford a means to pay up the deficit in the run ning expenses of the State. The Iredell Telephone Com pany, an independent organ iza tion, which is operating in Ire dell county, having 879 phones in Statesville and the county has made a fine showing for the year 1912. The company is giv ing its patrons good service and at a lower rate than in enjoyed by some other communities. The Iredell Phone company was or ganized in opposition to the Bel and is making good, saving the people about $7,000 annually over the rates charged by the Bell company the Landmark says. It seems the discussion of ,the work of the Superior Court Judges and the way they dis charge the duties of their offices is bringing good results.

Pistol toting among a large class of negroes in this city has become an epidemic and it has come to be the unusual thing when a negro is arrested for some petti offense that a search does not reveal some form of "shooting iron" or razoo.

"The Ablest Man In The Hou.e." (Charlotte Chronicle) Where Shall They Go? (Union Republican.) Judge Cook, who is holding Forsyth Superior Court, has a fund of logic intermingled at times with wit and humor. In Dassins iudginent on a white woman for keeping a disorderly house, Saturday, he said that it was customary to send these "soiled doves" away, and spoke a parable when he said "and where shall they go?" In lec turing the defendant he told her to "go and sin no more." but if United States Secretary of Agriculture, James Wilson who attended the Corn Exposition in Columbia last week advised the farmers to raise more grain and feed the grain to stock on thei farms instead of selling it. Raise more cattle and hogs was his advice. Hon. James C. L. Gudger, former Superior Court judge in North Carolina, died Wednesday morning at the home of his daughter in Waynesville. He was 78 years old, native of Bun combe county, Confederate veteran and served 16 years on the Superior Court bench, re tiring about 30 years ago.
