Greensboro, n. c, May 13.-The good
roads bond issue Of $500. 600 has been or
dcred by the voters Of Guilford and great
satisfaction was expressed by the public
spirited men Of this place today when
the news became general that this county
had devided in favor of the measure. The
satisfaction was rendered all the keener
from the fact that other counties had either
lost their good roads elections or with.
drawn them. Hon. A. NJ Scales, one OF
the chairmen Of the good roads movement
said today that the result Of yesterday
election was a tremendous credit to the
county and puts Guilford in a class with
Mecklenburg, the pioneer in the good
roads movement Of North Carolina The
bonds win be sold, money realized and
work commenced at the earliest moment
practicabl Over 1900 votes were cast.

of the qualified vote of the county

Greensboro belonging to f. j. Barringer

The Board Of Aldermen was in executive
session last night for some hours discuss
ing the sewerage question. While nothing
was given out, yet it is the sense Of the
board that the exigencies require that the
sewerage improvement be pressed with all
haste, and it is safe to say that before
another twelve months elapses the $65. 900
of bonds will be spent in sewerage extern
sion.

and it has received applications for admis-
sion not only from California, Texas and
Maine, but also from Hawaii and South

sensational feature of the Conference OF

 A circular letter to members of the A. O. U. w.. signed by John J. How ard, chairman, and Frank F. Tyler, secretary, Of the convention of repre- @entataves of the order which recently met in New Haven, commenting on the action of the grand lodge in ap- proving the new assessment rate pro mulgated by the supreme lodge, has been sent out to members of the order. The circular says In part:
 The cause was lost because a few of the representa- tiyes in accordance with instructions and advice given by the supreme and grand officers disregarded the expressed instructions of their constituents and voted in grand lodge directly contrary to hhe known and le- gaI1y expressed wishes of the people who sent them there 10 transact the business of the order. There is no use moral Ezflg on such a condition of things now that the act has been done. Tyh0e@ traitors to the welfare of the members should and will be marked men fin their respective lodges Broth CTS, we are face to face with a propo- siton that. is far reaching and disas- .t1ous in taresuEts to ofly brothers in Connecticut
 We /haIbored earnestly, faithfully and honestly for you and were defeated. only because the will of the majority did not prevail. Tn o1lr opinion there is no measure of justice to be had go long as we remain passive. Our ad- vice is for each and every member of our order to consider this matter as if applies to himself and then each and every indivfduaa member must take such action as he thinks best for his own interests
 There is no chance of tfhe will of tho majority being considered. A few. whom we chose to do our business for us. have set themselves up for our monitors and our conserva tors. appar- ertly believing that they are the only ones who have sufficient intelligence to understand what we should have and what we should do
 For our part we are willing to abide ny The properly expressed and legally declared will of tho majority of the members. as we believe they will not go verv, far from the right path. We cTain this has not been done and there fore WE must resent the injustice and ianofnlny that has heen put upon us Now let each hrotfer consider what is hest for himself and act accordingly.

 Remarkable Growth.
 Thirty-one years ago Joe Bauby came to Waterbury from New York and after spending several days in q fruitless search for a man or woman who could converse with him in his mother tongue concluded that it was a poor place for son of sunny Italy and was about to quit when he met one of his countrymen In Exchange place and had long chat with him. This cheered Joe up somewhat and in stead of quitting the town. he settled down to business and made 1t pay. The next Italian he saw after his chance meeting in the center was his brother, Pete, who came along from the metropolis to find what was keep ing Joe away so long. Pete fell in love with the place at first sight and las siilce been prominent figure in the business affairs of the city. When the Bauby brothers came here things didn't look encouraging for the establishment of an Italian colony il Waterbury and very little headwav was made in that direction until about twenty years ago. but from that time on things got move on them and the Italians kept coming this way so that tomorrow when the Baubys take | walk down South Main. street to wit ness the laying of the corner stone of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, they will-assuming that every person of that nationality in town turns out

The Bau- bys have kept abreast of the process si9n, but large nutnrers of their coun- trymen are now pretty close upon them and in a few years from now it would be hard to name the most pros- porous Italian family in the city of Waterbury.

Men in Silver City Want New Military
 Company and State Armory
 People in MeTiden are agitating the matter of raising another company in that city for the National Guard, as one of the new companies to be added to the Second regiment under the re- organization scheme, which gives the regiment twelve companies, organized in three battalions. Captain Joseph De CantilloI, who commands O. L. Upham camp, Sons of Veterans, and
 Walter l.. Bevins, both of whom saw service in the Spanish war, and the former of whom has been a member of the existing Meriden company, I, of the regiment, are shaping things with a view to. ha wing one of the new com- panies located Tn Meriden. Another factor in the case Is that the law re gardinR state armories provides that where two or more companies are lo- cated in town or city, an armory may be built Word comes from Meriden that about fifty young men are anxious to enlist in the new company and that there are others living in Southington who would come. in. TOrrtngton, Der bv and Ansonia are among the towns in. the second congressional district, which have ambitions to have miil- tary company. Years ago efforts to maintain military companies in south ington and Derby were not successful and the companies were disbanded.
 Walter Bevins. wne Is a lawyer In Meadden. had consultation with Ad- tutant- General Cole on the subject day or two ago and yesterday Colonel Sucher of the Second regiment. Cap tain De Cantillon and Mir Bevfns held conference in Merfden. Governor Cha mb erlain has also been consulted in the matter About ten years ago a movement was started to form another company in Merfden, but enough men could nor be found who were willing to join Captain Bradley of the pres ent Meriden company is quoted as not being opposed to the formation of an other company there. but doubtful whether another could be raised and maintained based on his experience in recruiting Company I.
 If another Meriden company should be added to the Second regiment and an effort made to have state armo-y built there. it would require action by the general assembly to appropriate the money for the new arrnorv. and that body will not meet until January. 1905.
