savings on our bonds. Interest has
or can be paid, bonds can be CANCEL
ed and we will nave a balance of 49,
900 to be added to the care and keep
of our highways. This is based on
the old rate of taxation. In the bill
adopted by the people of Iredeli on
the 9th Of May, it provides that the
road tax cannot be levied for more
than IS cents on the $100 and IS cents
on the poll. This latter clause does
away with the old system of swear
ing in hands to be worked on the
roads,. and substitutes hired labor. I'm
der the old law in this county, the
board of county commissioners had
power to make the road tax almost
anything they desired, to the limit Of
500 on the $1O0 provided it reQulred
that much for the maintenance OF the
chaingang. Men Of large investments

assessed, without the fear that the levy
would be raised indiscriminately. 1t
was shown by the returns that there
are two large towns in the county Of
l6 townships, and outside Of the towns
Of MOoresville and S~tatesville. both Of
which gave large majorities, the coun-
ty carried in the rural districts by a
majority Of PSI votes, and only five
townships III the county voted against
the measure. The total majority Of
the county for the bond issue was
l,24S. In south Iredell good roads
have been the theme and strong point
OF the for years, and when
the bond issue for the county was
agreed upon, the people of three or
four of the lower townships were in
mass-meeting preparing to withdraw
from the county and create a road dis
trict independent Of the county, and
vote upon the issuance Of at least
500, 900 bonds for roads. It will be
readily seen by all readers of South
ern Good Roads, hat although we
are paying interest on $500 600 for
unlrty-one years. yet we will have en-
JOyed the benefits of the good roads
tor at least thirty years. 1t is based
on the same principle as building a
nome with rent money. With this is
sue OF $500, 900 it has been calculated
that we can secure from $50 to $50
miles OF good roads in the county.

be done to make sand clay roads in
sections where grading will not make

HOW ROADS WON IN IREDELL.
Editor Deaton Tells How the Fight
Was Fought in His Country
500 @ Issue.

Editor H. p. Deaton, Of the Moores-
vile Enterprise, has written for
Southern Good Roads a description Of
the way the bond issue for roads car
ried IN his county and it is SO inter-
esting that it is published here in full.
Davidson county will some day fol-
low in the footsteps Of Iredell. May
the day come Editor Deaton's
story is as follows:
It seems that a great many people
Of the State Of North Carolina were
somewhat surprised that the county Of
Iredell should vote upon herself bonds
to the amour of $500, 600 for road i'm
~provements, but those who are ac-
Quainted with the progressive spirit
know that they are never undaunted.
and they entered upon the proposition
with a determination Of throwing off
the shackIes that bound them to the
old fashioned way Of "a up n
hill and down another, wearing away
their lives and depreciating their
stock by hard. pulls through mud,
grades and deep ruts. In other words,
the rural citizenship is Of that pro-
merciful to their stock and leaving a
legacy to their posterity that will be
enduring and as great a blessing as
when Moses led the children of Israel
to the promised land out Of the pest
ridden land Of Egypt. The fight was
made on a plain. everyday business
proposition, and the arguments put
up for the road improvements were
conducted on the same plane as you
would argue to a man the benefits de-
rived from the building and loan as
SoclationS. For instance. the total
taxable property of Iredell county un-
der the old assessment was more thar

SOME COM non WEED
PESTS
II is Very Important That All Seeds
Purchased or Grown at Home for
Seed Are Free From Weeds. This
Advice is Too Little Heede1.

Weeds, weeds everywhere; they
thrive in the cornfield, they choke
wheat in the field, they annoy the
gardener, they thrive in the
they spring up in the roadside, they
encroach on the swamp.
Emerson said Of weeds that tney
are plants whose virtues nave not
vet been discovered" But a few
benefits may be derived from weeds
They are Of some use in the world
to induce more frequent and more
thorough cultivation, which Dement'S
crops; in occupying the soil after a
crop has been removed they prevent
the loss Of fertility by shading the
ground.
Weeds plowed under add some
humus and fertility to the soil,
though in a very much less degree
than clover or cowpeas; some weeds
furnish food for birds in winter.
In justice to the weeds their ad-
vantages have been mentioned first
because the list of the disadvantages
is a very long one-too long to en-
umerate. A few however, may be Civ
en-enough to convince every n that
every effort should be made to get rid
of them.
Farmers should carefully observe
and study the weeds and their habits,
