from Lumberton would not trav-
erse more than twelve miles of
Bladen, and would, at best, be a
very risky venture.
This proposed road from Lum-
berton is nothing more or less, 1t
is believed, than a scheme on the
part of the Seaboard to defeat
the coming election. Mr.. Nc
Leod has timber in Bethel; the
Seaboard wants to haul it, and
will lease him some railroad iron
to run into his timber if, in the
mean time, he will do a little sur
veying and lectioneering to de-
feat the bond issue on Jan. 18th,
and it has been learned that Mr..
Mcleod stated in a meeting in
Lumberton that he wanted the
Lumberton people to help him
defeat the bond issue; that he
was going to do some surveying
and let a few contracts for cut
ting cross ties to defeat the bond
issue.
Mr.. Mcleod is not in a posi-
ton to offer the people any pro-
position at all. He has no char
er under which he could ask the
people to vote bonds, and no
charter under which he could
build and operate road, and it
seems manlfestly unfair that he
should assume a dog in the
manger" attitude. The people
of Bladen thought that he was a
bigger citizen than he is showing
himself to be.
| The surveyors who were in
Bethel and ElIzabethtown town.
ships last week let it be known
that they are employed by the
Seaboard Air Line Railway. Mr..
Mcleod has stated that the Sea-
board has agreed to lease him
enough iron to run into his timber
in Bethel. It can be easily un-
derstood why the Seaboard would
object to another road being built
into the section of Bladen lying
to the west of the Cape Fear, ano
the Lumberton to Elizabethtowr
railroad scheme is looked upon
as nothing more than move
on the part of the Seaboard to de-
feat the coming election on Jan.
, 11th, as stated above.
At present it looks like a vie
tory for the bond issue. The
people understand the question

Most of them will continue to write their moth- CT tongue, but they want their ears trained and their tongues accustomed to the sounds of English. They should be aided to this knowledge by the cas- fest and quickest way. This can best be done by helping them clothe the experiences of daily life in an English garb.
 The foreigner lives and moves in a small world of which he is the center and about which he can freely con- verse in his native tongue. But Eng fish lets him into the larger life of America, raises his wages. calls him to a higher standard of living. and is the medium of better communicat tion with his fellow workers. A vocabu- lary of eight hundred words will suf- flee if acquired in the form of simple sentences pertaining. to every day oc- currences. These words cannot be &C., quired from books. Language is not to be practiced in the seclusfon of room, nor used in monologue,. but in the relation of men with men. It is the medium by which to express the intelligence, the activities, the neces- sities of lifeS in the independence of modern society.
 A knowledge of English is also nec- essary to protect the foreigner in life and limb. Shadwell, in his recent book on Industrial Efficiency declares CIdI empower anu einplOye InuSC CO operate if the horrifying accidents of modern industry are to be eliminated, and that no man should. be employed in dangerous trades until he is made thoroughly conversant with the dan gers incident to the work. But min- ing, the steel and iron works, the white lead and grinding trades employ thou sands of foreigners who Go not com prehend the simplest warning given in English. and who cannot read the warnings even if printed in their na- tive tongues. Again and again men are injured, who would have been say ed if they had known a dozen English words And the terrible casualties, the disgrace of our industrial records. will not diminish until our language Is taught to foreigners employed in dangerous trades, that they may be- come familiar with the simple rules laid down for their protection
