was practically no response on the
part of the citizenship hcreabouts to
the call for work on the roads for
good roads days" The engineering
corps Of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College did some special work
on the road leading from tho college
to tho Methodist Orphanage. The
county authorities had laid out con-
siderable work near Italcigh for the
citizens expected to volunteer. and ma
chinery and tools were on hand, but
the only work actually done was by
tho regular road contracting forces
Mayor James ]. Johnson had planned
to lead the work to be done by Raleigh
citizens on the roads leading into the
city, but the death OF his sister. Mrs
McRce. of Richmond. and her burial
here to-day thwarted his plans. There
ia little IL any better prospects for
volunteer road work hcreabouts to-
morrow. Governor Craig's absence in
Buncombe County for road work de-
prived this section of the inspiration
of the example Of the chief executive.
