SPARK PLUGS.

Striking examples are seen every
day OF the value of system in max
ing good roads. Take the Enter
prise road, for instance. For two
years past it has been poorly kept,
good at times but generally rough.
This season the man in charge of
dragging it knows how and 1t is
like a boulevard after one reaches
the city limits. For two blocks or so
beyond the paving until the town
ship is reached it rs a succession
of ruts and is not touched; then to
the Center township line 1t is we'll
planned and we'll dragged and
fine road. Last year Center town
ship dragged the road well; this
year this and the Detroit road are
neglected as far as dragging goes.
II there were adopted county sys-
TEN, with men hired to take care
of specified sections under proper
management, we should have we'll
kept roads all the time and not If
and in spots.

WANTS NEUTRAL PAPERS TO
ADVOCATE PEACE CONFERENCE


Rotterdam, August A.-CVia Lon
DON -There is much talk in Holland
of the possibility of opening a peace
discussion between the belligerents.
The Courant publishes an article from
an anonymous diplomatic source urg-
ing that the press of neutral countries
undertake the task of mediation and
reconciling and removing the errors"
The Dutch anti-war league at a
meeting last week at The Hague adopt
ed a resolution urging the Dutch gov
eminent to call conference of neutral
powers in the interest of peace "the
conference to sit until the end of the
war for the purpose of preparing for
and Introducing mediation measures al
the proper time"
The article in The Courant, which
has attracted wide attention in Hol-
land, says in part:
Although the prospects of the Ger
manic powers now are better than they
ever were before, they cannot hope
for a settlement by battle and, there
fore, wiser counseIs may prevail AS
to the British, it is not impossible that
they ultimately will listen to the voice
of reason. There is no reason why
the opponents should offer conditions
that would only prolong the war un.
duly. There are increasing signs tha
international hatred is decreasing II
the no too distant future, the peoples
of Europe will demand to know how
long the war will last"

leading men in the business and pro-
fessional life of North Carolina were
ranged about the tables in the large

the State Normal and Industrial col
lege campus this evening to enjoy the
North Carolina Pan-American dinner
and hear the splendid speech OF Hon.

opment of North Carolina and the re-
lation of the State to the building up
of big trade of the nation with South
America.
Mr.. Peters who came in the place OF
his chief, Secretary w. G. McAdoo, is
probably more familiar with the work
that is being done along the line OF de-
yeloping trade with the South Ameri-
can republics than any other man in
the country Secretary McAdoo says
he has been the right hand man in the
work and to him has been left much
of the details. He spoke of the work
this evening with comprehension
that showed him to be a man of large
vision and of unusual intellectual at
tainments. He is a native of Massa-
chusetts and has been, prominent IN
public affairs for many years. He
represented his State in Congress for
several terms, and was a powerful fac
tor IN the House of Representatives.
where he served on the Ways and
Means and other important commit

personally and made many warm
friends while here.

Warsaw could be saved was aban-
doned.
