creased by doing nothing but actual
read making.
Moore county has successfully met
the big problem of road maintenance
by ii road patrol system in the south
ern townships, two men being EN-
ployed for all their time, with two
wagons and four mules, to keep busy
in going over the roads and repair
ing the breaks. The roads are eigh-
teen feet wide, with but a fve-inch
fall from the crown, and this, with
the natural condition Of drainage IN
these sandy lands, keeps the roads IN
good shape even in severe weather
After the past hard winter the roads
here are in fine condition today and
the visitors from Wake, who went
over them were greatly delighted.
1t is Mr.. Tufts hope to have CO.
operation among counties from Pine
hurst to Raleigh and from Pinehurst
and Cheraw, S. c., in the building Of
roads Of the kind that now radiate
from Pinehurst and the expressions
Of the members Of the County Board
of Commissioners from Wake county
indicate that they are ready to have
Wake join in the movement. 1t would
be a most progressive one and would
make possible activity for further eX-
tension of good roads. Mr.. Tufts has
bIazed the way with what he has ac-
cOmpjShed in Moore county, and
there is to be more good roads con-
structed here, as the farmers have
had practical examples of their value
and will be satisfied with nothing less
than that the good work goes on.
Moore county has set a pace worth
emulating. for with its limited re-
sources wonders have been accom-
| plished, and what it has done should
teach Wake and all other counties
that good roads can be had. All that
| Is needed is Effort and Cooperation.
t II what Moore county has done does
not teach this then nothing does The
only thing needed is for the men In
| wake and in other counties where
good roads do not exist to determine
that they want these. Then they VIII
come. And another need is that
more men catch the spirit OF Leon
ard Tufts. who has done things for
North Carolina by his splendid work

ARE DEMOCRATS
To DO AWAY With
TARIFF BOARD?
SUCH ARE The INDICATIONS
Is Not Worth Expenditure
That's Required

Washington, March 8.-The tariff
board has only few more months to
live if democratic signs are true. On
June 80 next the board probably will
die a natural death, simply because
the democrats of the house will re-
fuse to appropriate for its further con-
tinuance.
According to its friends the tariff
board has well expended the thous-
ands made available for its use. DEM
ocratic economists, however, are una
BILE to see wherein the tariff board is
worth $225,O00 per annum required
for it's maintenance. In addition, the
democrats, who now have the upper
hand in the house, do not believe in
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-03-09

the aid of outside agencies in framing
tariff legislation.
During the closing days of the Six
ty-first congress an effort was made
to make the tariff board permanent
institution. If the bill had passed,
the life of the board, at least for
number of years, would have been as
sured. The Fitzgerald filibuster in the
house killed the permanent tariff
board bill, so now the democrats only
have to refuse to appropriate for the
board in order to abolish it.
The five members of the board draw
annual salaries of $500 each. In
addition there are several hundred
clerks and special field agents on the
payrolls.
1t is now known definitely that the
democratic house will refuse to appro-
pirate for the continuance of the board
when it comes to make up the sundry
civil service appropriation bill for the
fisacl year 1913 The board has bare
ly enough money to continue its work
for the present fiscal year, and prob
ably will have to cease its labors as
soon as the report on the cotton indus
try is complete This report is now in
the course of preparation.
1t required more than a year to col

There is much criticism in demo-
cratic quarters of the fact that the
board makes its report to the presi-
dent, rather than to the house direct,
and hat the board work sunderthedi
and that the board works under the
direction of the chief executive and
not in accordance with the dictates OF
congress. This is another thing that
will be in the boards way when the
democratic economists begin to pre-
pare the appropriation bills in few
days.

LIVELY REGISTRATION MARKS THE
PROGRESS Of MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN
approximately 525 Names We're on the Registration Books at the Close the ay
Yesterday Record Registration May Result Before Books Close Next Friday
Interest in the Election Grows Stronger Every Day

Registration for the city election
was decidedly lively and interesting
Yesterday, as was shown by the fact
that at the close of the day approxi-
mareIy 525 names had been placed
upon the registration lists.
This showed a decided gain over
the registration for any previous day.
in fact it was probably the largest
registration for any single day during
the present campaign. 1t was a strong
indication of the fact that interest in
the municipal campaign is growing
stronger and stronger every day.
The mass meeting held the night be-
fore, which had been preceded by the
issuance of several cards and other
campaign literature, served to bring
ont to the city hall large number Of
voters who had not placed their names
on the list up to that time.
1t seems now that the registration
will continue very lively until the
time arrives for the closing of the
registration lists next Friday, five
days before the election itself 1t is
conservatively estimated that there
will be at least 175 more voters to
register before the books close, which
will require considerable energy and
effort on the part of those who have
charge of stimulating interest in this
phase of the election in bringing out
the voters to register.
As there were more than 700 voters
registered at the last municipal cleo
ton last fall, it is undoubtedly true
that full as large number will have
their names on the registration lists
when the books close for the election
that is to occur next Wednesday week
1t is believed that even more will BE-
registered for this election than were
qualified for the last election, as the
issues involved are even more import
ant.
As interest in the registration in
creases, the interest in the discussion
of the questions involved in the cam
paign is growing still greater. In fact
the campaign is waxing warm in every
way, and this will be shown more and
more as the few days remaining for
registration and the discussion of is
sues pass.

city before they left for Albany at
o'clock.
The lineup for the locals was as

Payne. forwards. Several accidents
placed two of the visiting players,
Owens and Lagerquist, out of the game
so that the lineup of the visitors was
frequently changed. Those who rep.
resented Albany in the game were
Smith, Whitehead, Owens, Lagerquist,
Sumter. Rachels and Rosenberg.
This victory gives the locals the adj
vantage Of the visitors, who enjoyed
their trip to Americus very greatly ia
spite of the fact that they carried
away the small end of the score.
