Miss Mavbelle Moore.

Miss Maybelle Moore, who owns a
half interest in the big Huntley- Moore
Stock Company, and .wo plays all the
leading female roles in the plays pro-
duced by them, adopted the drama as
her life-work merely because OF her tit
ness for it, and not from any pecunlary
motive Miss Moore acts simply because
she is an actress not because she has to.
She has known all the luxuries OF lie
from a child up, her father being one OF
the largest stockholders in the Union
Stock Yards Company, of Chicago, with
a palatial residence on Grand Boulevard.
Hire brother, w. B. Moore, is half owner
of the Chicago Stereopticon and Filum
Exchange, of 108 Franklin street, Chlca-
60 with a commercial rating of nearly
one million, while she herself is worth
over $3.50, 900 in her own right, her uncle,
Andrew Hosteller, having left her ms
entire fortune upon his death IN South

Paris, Feb. 7.-Official advices have
been received here confirming the report
that the Sultan of Turkey has ordered
the immediate mobilization of 100000
troops for a military demonstration i'll
Macedonia
The step taken is regarded with appre-
hension by the French officials as being
likely to involve complications between
Turkey and Russia and Austria.
1t is said that the Russian and Aus
trian governments have agreed on firm
note to the Sultan, which viii be pre-
sented within the next few days, insist
ing on administrative and official reforms
in Macedonia. Although France will not
be a party to the note she will approve
of It.
1t is considered that the Suitan's mob!-
liZation of such a vast army is clearly
an effort to forestall the presentation OF
this note.
The mobilization of so many t"oonS IS
regarded here as unwise aud dangerous,
especially as it is said that the soldiers
who are to be brought into Macedonia
from Asiatic Turkey are semi barbarous
levies and are hostile to Christians,
which will tend to inaugurate another
series of massacres. i IS understood
the powers are exchanging views as to
the course to be pursued towards tne
mobilization of Turkish troops.

S4o,0OO EOa GOOD ROADS.
This Progressive Action Taken by the Com.
missioners
Fayetteville Observer, !

(f dyclleFllle ODScTNSI,J
The Board of County Commissioners,
Chairman A. B. Williams, and Messrs.
}. j. Billiard, w II. Downing, j. NJ.
Owens and G. ID. Gilmore, yesterday
voted to ask the Legislature for permits
sion TO issue $4,000 in bonds for the
building of good roads in Cumberland
county. This is a step that will be hail
ed with joy by every one in this city
and county, we believe.
Chairman Williams took the initiative
in the following recommendation made
to the Board:
The County of Cumberland to further
its public road building, will issue $40,
600 thirty year 5 per cent. bonds, inter
est to be paid semi annually, July 1st
Iand January 1st of each year. The
county guarantees to meet the interest
promptly and to create sinking fund
to meet the face payments of the bonds
at maturity. This guarantee is derived
from a special fund known as the At
lantic Coast Line tax, paid to Cumber
land county, the amount of which is
$4,000 annually, $4,000 of this sum is
set aside to meet the interest on $780,
600 twenty-year Court House bonds bear
ing interest at per cent, and $500 an
nually as a sinking fund to meet the
payment of the bonds at maturity.
s. 500 is the amount to the credit of
that fund to date. 5000 annually is set
aside to meet repairs on court house
property. This amount deducted from
$4,000 leaves a balance of $4,000 to be
used for public road building. This does
not give us sufficient amount to
prosecute road building as it should be,
oct
on SAC, 900 per cent. bonds and to place
81 600 to the credit of the sinking fund,
leaving a balance of $1,000 for the pur
chase of machinery and other purposes.
This is a feasible scheme and can be
carried out to the letter without any adj
ditional tax levy. $4,000 annually placed
to the credit of the sinking fund will
more than pay the bonded Indebtedness
at maturity.
l know of no county in the State of
North Carolina that could issue a road
bond without taxing the citizens for
said purposes, but the special fund re-
ceived from the Coast Line in the way
of taxes enables Cumberland county to
issue $40 900 per cent. bonds without
any additional cost to the taxpayers.
The Board of Commissioners do not pro-
pose to sell more than $4,000 of its
bends annually bonds not to bear in
terest until marketed.
This you see would be a saving OF
1900 for the first year in interest,
which could be used for the purchase OF
mules and machinery, with q $1,000 al
ready appropriated would give the coun-
ty $4,000 for the purchase of machinery,
etc.
Respectfully submitted to the commit
tee for their action the first Monday in
February, 1903
