cations are that about 10, 900 men will
be wanted
Volunteers will not be accepted in
organizations Secretary Alger is de-
termined to adhere to that rule. 1t

To the Editor: When all things have
teen considered the friends of good
roads in North Carolina may claim that
the progress made in this movement has
been fairly satisfactory. The movement
began twenty years ago. Since that time
its advance has not been continuous or
regular, but, on the other hand, it has
swung like pendulum; except that for
every backward step there have been two
steps forward. And while the forward
movement has grown steadily stronger,
the occasional backward movement has
grown steadily weaker.
During the past year in connection
with this forward movement for better
roads we find public opinion among nll
the intelligent classes Of our citizens be-
coming more and more unit in favor
of change of policy from our old sys
tenn of compulsory labor to the new sys,
tenn of working roads by taxation, or
by taxation and labor combined. We
are in the transition period from this old
SYSTEM to the new. Our people are be
ginning to realize, furthermore, that
is impossible except under a system of
taxation, money raised by taxation is not
sufficient to push this good work forward
as rapidly as it should go without the
cooperation in the form of labor Of those
able bodied citizens who pay little or NJ
tax for road purposes. In many counties
we see a cooperative spirit developing.
which leads a considerable number Of
citizens, in addition to the taxes which
they pay, to still further aid this move
ment by furnishing, free Of charge, teams
or labor or timber or stone or other ma
terials needed in this connection.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-A special from

the Columbia Automobile company OF
Hartford has just begun work Oh an
automobile which is designed to take
the place Of the present motive power
on the Erie canal, and which will be
used to tow the canal boats. The auto
mobile will be the largest and strongest

worked by gasoline and will have a
tremendous horsepower, sufficient to
tow several canal boats.
