the bill providing for special macad-
am road from this city to the State

Mr.. P. L. Waters, formerly with the
lumber mills of this city, but for
some time in the employ of the

land, spent Sunday and Monday in

The death of Calvin Rogers, 67
years of age, occurred yesterday taf-
ternoon, after a lingering Illness Oh
many weeks, at his home in the cot
ton mill section Of the city. He was
carpenter by trade, and is survivet
by his wife. The remains were takeI
to Warsaw this afternoon, his ole
home for interment.
The Argus regrets deeply to chron-
icle the critical illness Of Miss Alma
Bowden, Of the faculty of Pikeville
High School, who has pneumonia, a
the home of Mrs. Hosea, in Pikeville
where she boards, her own home be-
ing at Calypso The Argus with hel
host of friends wishes for her SAFE
recovery.
The abolition of the township ia,
collectors Of this county-which, b,
the way, was of Fusion origin-ant
a return to the democratic custom Q
the sheriff collecting the taxes, which
prevails in other counties, with a re
duction of the percentage, will save
to the general fund of Wayne county
in the neighborhood of $4,000 per year
This is a saving worth while.
The farmer who does not sustain
himself and his family on the farm
and from the farm is an improbable
citizen to the body politic-the State
and his generation. We believe
however, the times are improving il
this regard, and, that the farmers arf
coming to realize the Importance o.
keeping at home the millions of dol
lars that go yearly to other parts o.
the country for the feed stuff tha
ought to be raised here at home. T
has been demonstrated that the polio,
of the farmers of this State is no
only unwise in the matter of labor
but also in the matter of expense. By
degrees they are learning to appreci
ate the Importance of this matter, ant
in a few more years there will b.
considerably less cotton planted, anC
more diversified crops INDUCED in ant
promoted-corn, hay trucking prod
ucts, poultry and the like.
