GOOD ROADS FOR WAKE.

Wake county needs good roads, and
the need is an urgent one. Not that
the county has not some good roads,
for there has been work in THIS uirec-
ton. But there should be a complete
system OF the best roads throughout
the entire county. The people are
more and more seeing the need iof
such roads. and ultimately they will
be constructed.
But good roads are not to come py
simply waiting for them. what IS
needed is that the people Of the county
come together, adopt plans for a sys-
tematic campaign, and keep everlast-
ingly behind the movement. IaklnS
the initiative in this work, ex-Judg
r. w. Winston has issued a call for
a meeting Of representative citizens or
this county to be held in Raleigh on
the first Monday in December, to en-
ter into the consideration Of what is
best to be done.
The Importance of the meeting calls
for a large attendance, as good roads
are close to the life of all the people

county who are interested hould at
tend and express their views. In this
way the wishes of the entire county
can be obtained and definite plans be
agreed upon for the pressing Of the
matter.
The citizens of Wake county car do
no better thing than to agree upon
definite and specific plans for the
making of good roads. The movement
is in behalf Of progress and posterity,
and in such a movement no man can
afford to lag behind. The project has
received strong endorsement from
many sections OF the county. and it is
expected that me meeting here will
be a large one. In making plans to
the best to be had in rOad
building, all citizens of Wake county
should aid, SO as to give a solid sup
port to the effort to make the roads
in Wake the best in the State.

CORN Is KING.

Whenever GOT find people growing
cotton and tobacco and buying their
bread mo meat, you find farmers who
are alternately prosperous and having
hard times. Whenever you find farm
ers raising their own hog and hOminy.
you find comfort, plenty and gener-
ally they are prosperous. If prices
are high. they don't need to buy be
cause they can live at home ana
in a large sense, superior to a fluc-
tuating market.

raised this yea 91,247,O 900 more bush
els Of corn than they raised In the
previous year. The acreage in these
States was increased by ~s1,535,oOO
for the increase. We are told that
l1le average per acre Is
2.5 bushels larger than in the previous
yea In those eight States in 1908
the farmers produced 4~60,728,OOn
bushels, and this year they produced
551.975,000 bushels North Carolina
in 1909 made 48,6S6,OO bushels and
this year it mad 57,754,O0O bushels,
an increase of 2.3 bushels per acre, a
little less than the average of the
States named though it has the rec
ord of making more corn to the acre
than any other State in the Union.
Much Of his increase has been due
to the Boys Corn Clubs and too much
credit cannot be given to them. The
goal is to increase the number or
bushels grown per acre. Substantial
progress was made this year. 1t can
be increased still more next year, and
the intensive method should be con-
tinued until every acre produces every
bushel of corn Of what it is capable.
That is the only aim in farming wor-
thy OF the hest farmer.

AVIATORS ARE PIONEERS IN NEW
FIELD OF SCIENCE.

The Richmond nes-Dispatch says
that aviation is 2 business and that
men get good pay to fly. Within the
past thirteen months nearly three
quarters Of q million dollars have been
won by aviators, as follows:
Paulhan, sS2,052; Morane, s52.97o;
Latham, 52,431; Rouger, s53,3O0;
Chavez. s49.273; Grahame-White,
s35,100; Leblanc, $32,9OO: Irarman,
$23,3S0; Lezagneaux, ST. SOS; Van den
Born, S17,739; Dickson. s17,229; Eff
Nmoff, s16,711; Glenn Curtis. $4,000;
Hamilton, $4,000.
But it will not do TO say that these
men were Influenced to make flights
solely for the money. Most Of them
are enthusiastic believers in the posi-
bilities of aerial transportation, and
scientific work as periodically as Hud-
son and Morse and Maury and Greeley
and like b~enefactcrs in new lines.
To be sure, they do not decline pay,
and when they AVE perfected q ma
chine, they demand to be paid, and
properly so. Not even the preacher is
expected to refuse compensation. But
1t is My by study, work and flying
that progress al be made in aerial
navigation. Twenty-four men have
lost their lives in trying to lemon
strate that it is practicable. It was,
not merely to secure the prizes or the
pay that the Wrights spent months on
Island, North Carolina, test
ing their machine, and that other men
have labored and put their lives in
jeopardy to make aeroplanes possible
ana to make them the servants of
man. The loss of a brave man and a
man whose progress had been marked
IS d great cost to pay; but in all dis
coVerles and progress there must he
sacrifice, even of life itself. IF the
aVlators were actuated by no aim
higher than the business end the
world would not be so deeply inter
ested. Many believe that for lioht
traffic the airship will take the place
or the express trains. Much PROGRESS
has been made in the last wear. and
IL the ann ratio Of invention and
progress are made during the next
five years, why may not man cono,,a,

Frank Vennum, the veteran horse
charged in a state complaint with
having been a party to scheme in
a horse race to secure money not
according to the code of betting.
Vennum is located at Anthony
where he has several horses in
training. He was arrested on a
complaint sworn to in Pratt, by
James Jenkins, another race horse
man. Vennum is out ON bond in the
sum of $4,000
At the first hearing in Vennum's
case, according to the Pratt Repub-
lican, it developed that he and Jen-
kins were contestants in harness
race pulled off at Kingman last
winter. Vennum was the driver of
the black stallion that went against
Jenkins horse and Jack Garrison
was in charge of Haley G. the Jen-
kins nag. Jenkins became suspicious
before the race was run and put
another man in the sulkey to drive
the race for him. 1t is alleged by
Jenkins that Vennum and Garrison
were in a conspiracy to fleece him;
that when he put UP his money
against Vennum's money, with Gar
rison as stakeholder, that Garrison
slipped around and gave the money
/! to Vennum and Vennum proceeded
to go and bet it again with jenkins;
that this act was repeated until Jen-
kins was putting up his money
against money which he had pre-
yiously put in the Shareholders
hands, and that the race was Fix
ed" for Vennum to win; that when
it was all over jenkins had been
"fleeced" to the tune of $1,000.

is that Vennum simply declared a

Joe Hargis Must Stand Trial

Joe Hargis of Lake City had a
preliminary hearing before Justice
w. T. Collins in this city on Monday
of last week, on the very serious
charge of having stolen two mares
from H. w. SINNERS ranch, and
was held for trial in the district
court. His bond was fixed at
$1,0OO.0O.
Mr.. Hargis was suspected for some
time ana is arrest is the result of
considerable quiet investigation.
The mares claimed by Mr.. Skinner
were found in Mr.. Hargiss pos
session, and Blaine Jones, SINNERS
foreman, testified that cne OF tnem
belongs to Mr.. Skinner and that he
thought the other was also Mr..
SINNERS mare.
According to different witnesses,
Hargis told conflicting stories as to
how he came in possession of at
ty he claimed to have raised it from
a colt, and to another he claimed to-
have traded for it in this city.
This is the substance of the evil
dence against the defendant who
will probably tell his side of the
case at the February term of the
district court. 1t is particularly
unfortunate for him that this is the
second criminal charge he has been
called upon to face, but it is to
be hoped that he will be able to
establish his innocence, if he is
innocent
County Attorney Field and No

case, and Samuel Griffin and G. NJ.
