For Better Roads.
Mr.. w. P. Boyd of the Point
neighborhood, was In Yorkville yes
terday, and In conversation with the
reporter expressed his view Of the
most important matter now before
the people like this: Now that the
dispensary question has been settled,
or at least settled so far as the people
can settle 1t, hope thoughtful folks
will turn their attention to the matter
of better roads. We have been doing
a lot Of talk about the roads; but
very little else. Because Of bad roads
during the recent wet weather / lost
enough fruit and water melons that
would have otherwise been able to
sell at a good price to pay my road
tax for years. II we would only give
the roads just about half as much
liquor question We would soon grade
and macademize every highway in
York county.
The c. G. NV. Shops.
Chester special Of September II, to
Charlotte Observer: A great deal has
been written recently about the proba-
BILE removal Of the c. & NV. rail-
road shops from Chester to Gastonia,
or some other town making good Of
fer Investigation shows that there Is
nothing in these rumors further than
that Gastonia will be made division
al point on the road, thus causing sew
eral crews that have hitherto been
lying over in Chester to lie over in
Gastonia. To keep in repair the roll
ing stock that will naturally collect
around Gastonia or to do emer-
gency work at any point above that
city force of five men from the shops
here will be detailed for service at
Gastonia. This, 1t Is learned on relia-
BILE authority, is the only change con-
templated for years to come, so all the
talk about the immediate removal Of
the works with the scramble incident
thereto Is very ill-timed.
