SENTIMENT OPERATED
In The Selection OF Col. Hunt As
Commander U. v. |.
columbus Dispatch)

The action of the National Board
of Administration at Philadelphia,
Thursday, in electing Colonel I. d.
Hunt, of Columbus, National Com
mander of the Union Veteran Legion,
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Captain Nathan Munshower,
means much to Columbus. The Or
ganization is important in numbers,
the quality of its membership and it's
objects and purposes. 1t is some
thing for Columbus to be the home of
such an organization for the current
year. for that is what the election of
a resident of Columbus to the highest
office in it, means for one thing.
In thus honoring Colonel Hunt, the
Board of Administration has made a
wise selection and placed a man at
the head of the organization who will
at once honor it and administer its
affairs wisely and well. But it devel-
ops that sentiment operated in the
StiSCtioH VI SOiOHcl IluHI III way
that indicated the action taken as the
one thing to do.
Conscious that he could not survive
and that the duties he had but recent
ly assumed would have to be passed
on to other hands, Captain Munshow-
er left behind request that his old
friend, Colonel Hunt, whom he had
called to his assistance as a member
of the Board of Administration,
should be selected as his successor.
When this was made known to the
members of the board their decision
to make Colonel Hunt the National
Commander was unanimous.

THREE HUNDRED & EIGHTY
MILES OF THE BEST ROAD
IN IOWA BUILT IN A SIN
GLE HOUR.

In another column will be found
an account of bodybuilding and
repairing in Iowa, in which $50
miles of road were built or rebuilt
and repaired in a single hour. The
peculiar conditions of soil, etc.,
makes such feat possible in that
state, just as the same conditions
in North Carolina would make it
impossible, and while we realize
this, the very accomplishment of
the task should be an object les
son to us, of what unity in apur-
pose viii do. ~ I
We look forward to the time
when our state shall have laid out
the route for road lengthwise
through the state, beginning at
Wilmington and running through
to the Tennessee line, via LUMBER
ton, Maxton, and the towns on the
old Carolina Central division of
the Seaboard Air Line, to Ruther-
fordton, thence to Henderson
vile, and west, when such unity
of purpose shall possess the people
along the line that some such plan
may be put into effect to take care
of the parts of the line that the
counties have not been able to
handle. The work cannot be done
in an hour, or day, but with a
pull altogether, it could be done
in such a short time that the per-
sons donating the time would
hardly miss it, and the road, when
completed vclld NOR" ',''e-1 repay
every naA c. theln TOR the effort
expended.
While it is true that we need a
lot Of work, what we need more
is intelligent cooperation in our
road making.
Will the papers along the pro-
posed route look into the matter?

campaigning this accidental con-
gresham so-called hopes to sue

Mr.. Grant complains, would not
his own people have resented it
two years ago? But what are the
facts. His own township, in
which he was born and reared to
manhood, although previously re-
publican, gave a majority OF
.twenty-three for Mr.. Crawford,
who was, also, born in log house
and ploghed bull during his

THE ROAD QUESTION.

~ 4AL1AS SO1 lobdF, Wn1cn is
too good a paper to run without
the name of it's editor at the head
Of the editorial column, deyotes
half a column to the proposed
highway from Wilmington west
ward across the state, but seems to
forget that there are towns in
North Carolina that lie west of
Charlotte. The Star quotes from
the Maxton Scottish Chief, as fol
lows:
1.-THE Rockingham Post, a jour
nal that has a, head piece that is
always at work along original
lines, has suggested public high
way between the cities Of Will
mington and Charlotte, and be-
ieves that by agitation for a
while by the newspapers and PEG
pie all along the line, it can soon
be established. The Scottish Chief
heartily seconds the motion and
will guarantee our people to build
from Maxton to the Scotland
county line; and we, of course, ex-
pect them to do much better. :"
Preceding, the Star speaks:
From several of The Star s
contemporaries it is learned that
most of the counties between Viii
mington and Charlotte have paid
so much attention to their road sys-
TENS that it would be an easy mat
ter to connect up the roads of each
county, build few bridges, and
gradually improve the entire road,
so that it would in a year or two
accomplish the big proposition
which Editor Dockery makes, 1t
really seems that it is practica-
BILE scheme, and therefore should
be carried out. The best way to
get it on foot is to have a meeting
of representatives from all the
counties named, collect the data
from each county concerning the
condition of their roads, the neces-
sity for other roads and bridges,
and ascertain the cost involved in
making the Mountains to the
Sea- highway certainty. Editor
Dockery is leading the way, and
no doubt he can stir up the coun-
ties so that they may get together
and go to work on a definite prop
osition. The Star believes that is
is well worth being made prac-
teal undertaking." e.
The counties West Of harlotte
are also paying attention' to
their road building, and with the
assistance of the state Highway
Engineers are laying out their
roads in such manner that there
will be no waste of work necessary
to connect up" the numerous
pieces spoken of in the eastern
part of the state.
What we want is an opportunity
to join hands with the Rocking
ham Post, the Scottish Chief, the
Wilmington Star, and every other
newspaper and citizen in the state,
to create sentiment for the build
of good roads. The scheme of
which shall be worked out looking
to the most road for the benefit of
the most people at as little ex-
pense as can be, consistent with
frst-class construction. The Her
aid is unalterably opposed to the
practice, now so much in vogue,
of a different road law and diff
ferent scheme of construction for
each township. A law for each
county makes as many laws as any
one can expect to handle with
hope of accomplishment. A sin
gle law for the entire state would
be much better.
