COMMISSIONERS OF Pick COUNTY

special committee that was appointed

There was then reported a shortage
on the part of the sheriff and the tax
payers very generally think they are
ky this time entitled to a report from
that committee, and if no shortage
was found Is exist, then the sheriff is
entitled to that public acknowledge
ment from the committee to elmer
ate him before the people.
It's a pretty serious charge to maxi
about a public officer and then keep
the public, 1.-THE tax payers of the
county, in ignorance OF what were
the actual facts.
The facts should be made public.

LADIES AID
(Contributed.0

Hendersonville church people are
alive to the fact that social mingling
helps keep the fires burning upon The
affairs. This spirit was beautifully
evidenced in the reception given by
the Ladies Aid Society of the Metho-
dist Church at the home of Mrs. w. H
Justus last Thursday afternoon.
The commodious home was prettily
and most effectively decorated for the
occasion. In the reception hall, ferns
and bowls of cut flowers were used,
and Mesdames G. W. Brooks and A.
c, Morris greeted the guests. In the
drawing white and red abounded
under soft shaded lights. Receiving
with the hostess, Mrs Justus, were
the officers of the society, Mesdames
G 3. Dixon, C. Few, Womble and ii.
L. Hunt.
The dining room was lovely in a color
plan of yellow. Cluny lace pieces
over yellow satin and yellow shaded
candles were used on the table, at
either end of which sat Mrs. F. ".
Hunter and Mrs. T. M. Mccullough
whose costumes further carried u
the yellow scheme. and who poured
coffee and cocoa, while Misses Lucy
Brooks, Minnie Crane, Pearl Beason.
and Naomi Calvert served a delightful
salad course.
A musical program was rendered
the hours of the reception.
Mrs.A.B.D Drafts, DR.. Tebeau and H. g
Meyers sang beautiful selections ana
Ms. Michael Schenck, Mrs. Frank
Mccain, Mrs. King Morris and Misses
T-ma Justus and Margaret Justus
rendered piano solos.
More than one hundred of the Meth

quests enjoyed this delightful social
went, which was pronounced n Of

THE LONGEST WAY ABOUND
Sometimes the Most Economical Way
Home In Road Building.

NMrA H
The average life Of horses and auto
mobiles may be increased and the cost
Of hauling reduced according to the
once of Roads, Of the Department Of
Agriculture. by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out ,of new ones. The natural ten
dency in road building is to build a
straight road, whether it goes over
steep hills, or not, and pulling over
these grades naturally adds to the
wear and tear on horses and vehicles.
The doctrine of the Office of Roads
is that the longest way around may
often be the shortest and most eco
nomical way home, and that frequent
Ily by building a highway around a
hil or grade, but little ~appreciable
distance is added and this is more
than offset by the reduced strain of
hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point of view is that the lay
ing out of roads on this principle of
avoiding grades necessitates, in some
cases, running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures. in
stead of going around the farm line
and building the road through old
WORKOUT fields and over rock knobs.
This, of course, must raise a question
in the mind of the individual land own
er as to whether the cutting up of his
property by a road yields him indivil~
ual advantages and so benefits his
community rs to offset the use Of such
land for a road, or to overcome the in
convenience of having his land divid-
ed. In this connection the Office of
Roads points out thatthe running of a
road and the resulting traffic through
a good farm, where there are good
sheep, cattle, horses, grain, fruit, or
vegetables, has a certain advertising
value and in many instances makes
the land more valuable. In other
cases, the Importance of such a lever
road to the community is SO great
it might well repay those using
he road to give the farmer the equiv
alent in land equally good in place of
what he has sacrificed to the common
welfare.
At any rate, the Office of Roads is
aow taking special pains to make
the economic advantages of
avoiding steep grades in their roads, !
at some sacrifice of better land.
Investigation shows that the laying of
such roads over hills has resulted
more from attention to the preserva-
ion of farm lines than from scientific
attention to the problem of road build !
ng.
According to the testimony of farm
rs consulted, where a horse might be
BILE to pull 1000 pounds on a level
Dad, it would have difficulty in pull
ng 5000 pounds up a steep hill. The s
lie of the load, therefore, tends to BE-

al on the road to market. In a num-
of cases actual experiment shows
bat the relocating of roads around
Ills has been accomplished, either
'ith no addition in road length in
ONE instances, and with the adding
/ only a few feet to the highway in
theirs. The office knows of no case
here a properly relocated road which
as cut out grades has led to any I
uestion as to it's material reduction {.
