DO GOOD ROADS PAY?

The following item is taken from a
Jacksonville, Fla, exchange:
IF you will call upon J. c. Sloth,
real estate dealer, he will tell you of
u small tract of land near the new
object lesson road that a few months
ago was. offered for sale at $500.
That, along with other property
near this new road, grew in value
and when he had an offer for this
same tract of 300 he found it had
just been sold at $1,000, and his
offer of $4,000, which was over five
times its former rate, would not buy
the property. This increase in value
all came from the building of this
sample road. The increase in value
of this small tract would pay for
over one-half mile of the cost OF the
road, and the increased value of the
abutting properties for one-half mile
would pay the cost of building or ex-
tending this line a distance of ten
miles,
The Improvement in prices at which
lands are selling along these rock
roads wherever they have been built
Will be from five to ten times its for
mer value. If this is so, or if we are
sure property will even double in
value, should we not improve our
principal highways at the earliest
possible day?
Col J. B. killebrew in a recent ar
ticle in the Southern Farm Magazine
has this to say:
The tax in getting produce to
market in the South is something
enormous Not less than 25c per
ton per mile is paid out every year
to get the cotton, tobacco, peanuts,
rice, wheat and other produce to
market. For transporting the 5,O97,-
81, 1854 pounds of cotton in 1903
to the railroad station or to market
over the common highways, assum-
ing the average distance to be six
miles, cost the planters at p cents
per ton a mile, $3,S23.OS7. If the
cost of carriage could be reduced to
eight cents per ton-mile, which may
be done over good roads. the saving
in getting the cotton crops to mar
ket would be $500, 500"

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

In the elegant verbiage of the gen
tleman from Goose Greek, "the glori-
Gus Fourth has came and went" To
the loyal sons of North Carolina, to
be sure, the Fourth is no great shakes.
Now that the authenticity of the
Mecklenburg Declaration has been
established beyond a doubt and as
surance is made doubly sure, the lit
tie affair that came off in Philadel-
phia over a year later is little more
than side show. a mere incident in
the birth of American freedom.
Anent the Mecklenburg Declaration,
by the way, here is how the Century
dictionary treats that glorious event:
ga declaration of independence of
England, said to have been made at
Charlotte, n c., by the citizens OF
Mecklenburg county, May Goth or
31st, 1915"

THE RESIGNATION OF ENGINEER
WALLACE.

In our humble opinion Chief Engl-
neer Wallace has thrown away the
chance of his life: indeed, the chance
of the century. For the man who
builds the Panama Canal IL wide
space is reserved Oh histery's page.
A 100000 salary is undoubtedly a
temptation, and if Mr. Wallace pre-
fers a fat Job to the claims of his gov
eminent upon his ability, and the
pursuit of private interest to the
prosecution of an enterprise that af-
fects the commercial welfare of the
entire country and of the world, he
did we'll for all concerned to resign.
As a matter of fact, the man who
values $50, 900 per year more highly
than the relation held by Mr.. Wallace
to the Canal Commission is not the
man for the place. He is lacking in
the Judgment and the sense OF pro-
portion necessary for the position.
o. course there are sacrifices to be
made and difficulties to be overcome.
That was one reason why MIR. Wal
lace was chosen. His selection was
apparently ii mistake. The position
seems to be several sizes too large
for him. \ Herculean task calls for
a Hercules. Hence, i'll either case,
whether his resignation was caused
by the size of the salary or by the
sacrifices and obstacles, the Govern
ment is to be congratulated upon the
act that Mr. Wallace is no longer
chief engineer.

SECRETARY HAY.

The death OF John Hay, Secretary
of State, marks the passing OF one OF
the foremost figures in American pol
itics The Raleigh Post well says of
him: Statesman, editor, scholar,
author, poet, and Christian gentle
man, he exemplified in his career the
highest type of American citizenship.
The world is poorer by his death and
peace has lost an able advocate
He was easily the greatest Secre-
tary of State that has held that
portfolio in many years. Indeed, he
may almost be said to have created
a new standard OF diplomacy by the
directness, simplicity and straight
forwardness of his methods. He has
perhaps been rightly styled the fore
most diplomat OF his day. He was
the perfect complement of President
Roosevelt, solid, careful, conserva-
tive, vet fearless and masterful in the
handling of the delicate and moment
Gus world problems that in the past
few years have for the first time been
thrust upon American statecraft.
The Powers owe much to his wisdom
and integrity in these most critical
days. He has been more than once
the balance wheel that has steadied
world politics and probably averted
great cateclysm. Our own country
can scarcely estimate its debt to him,
and we believe that history will ad-
Judge him place near Jefferson and
Hamilton and the fathers of the re-
public. His priceless legacy to his
country is new standard OF citizen
ship for the young men of the twenti-
eth century.
The nation will hasten to do honor
to the memory of John Hay, the
statesman, the man of letters, the
Christian gentleman;
"A combination and a form indeed.
Where every god did seem to set his seal
To give the world assurance of man"

The South Needs Men.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
The Washington Post says W hen the
South fixes jobs for the immigrants
they will come, and not until that is
done. The South already has plenty
of Jobs for immigrants without nav
ing to wait to fix new ones. There is
work here, and plenty OF it, for both
the hand and the mind. What this
section needs is people who can settle
here and apply themselves to the CON
ditions as they find them. The South
does not want ignorant, unskllled
labor as much as it needs skilled
workmen, especially in agricultural
and industrial pursuits. The advan-
tages are already here, and they ex-
ist in abundance. What is needed Is
close and earnest application to the
conditions as they are found in the
South today.
Governor Glenn, in his speech before
the Southern Industrial Parliament
in Washington, declared, "what we
need in the South today is men. We
| need men of brains, men OF money,
men of energy and willingness to
work" The Manufacturers Record
in a recent issue strikingly indicates
| the scarcity of labor in the South,
using the word labor in the sense OF
all that it implies, by quoting lead
| ing business man of Alabama to the
effect that: SIN Alabama there are
two Jobs for every man in the State. y
To this the Record adds that the po-
sition OF the entire South, saying:
| Everywhere the cry is for men the un-
| skilled laborer as well as the skilled me-
chanic and engineer. Agricultural inter
| ests throughout the South are urgently
! seeking for supplies of labor sufficient for
| their needs The whole cotton industry
of the South is short of labor, and today
thousands of hands could find profitable
employment in cotton mills, which are
seeking everywhere, even invading the
North, to find operatives sufficient in
number to produce the goods for which
there is ready demand. 1t is almost
true of the whole South, in the language
of the Alabama iron man, that there are
two jobs for every laborer ready to
| work
| The energy, courage, capital, re-
sources are to be found here in abun-
dance, but what can be accomplished
by them when the most important
factor is missing, sufficiency OF labor
