REPLYING TO MR.. HUDGINs.

Hudgins for the reason that he deals

opinion being against sand-clay roads,
that is new to US. If road experts
have decided upon this, then it is wise
TO listen to the expert road builders.
We were inclined to think that for
good serviceable roads at little ex-
pense, sand-clay was the proper
thing.
The Democrat does not believe in

HENDERsoN,s DEMONSTRATORS
sfNews & Observer

Henderson county" says. the Shelby
Highlander, "tried the plan of abolish
inc he Office of farm demonstrator'
hut so great was the protest of Hen
derson citizens that the commissioners
have reconsidered their action and re-
instated the demonstrator." All the
counties that have eliminated the dem

movement for more and better agricul-
ture is irresistible.

In the opinion of this writer, tho
effort of Representative Henry PAGE.
of Moore. to discontinue the present
policy of State aid to railroad con-
struction is a step in the right direc-
ton. Mr.. Page declares that the State
has paid out to certain railroad pro.
sects, since 1907, the sum of 100000
IN convict labor. sustained by tho
treasury, and to carry, our CONTRACTS
already made will cost the State $40o
per day for the next two years. These
interesting statements were made by
Mr. Page before the joint-committee
on penal institutions on Friday of last
week and have not been c~ontradicted
He further declared that the stock the
State is receiving In exchange for this
enormous expenditure of money is moi
worth one copper cent; that outsiders
tave secured control of every r~ailroao
enterprise now receiving assistance
from the State and he considered it a
Tad bargain to pay out good money
for bad promises. And while he @losI
his case" before the committee, on &C
count of outstanding obligations tho
state feels should be discharged, MIR.
Page convinced those who heard him
that the policy is unwise and should
be discontinued. The State does not
need watered stock in any enterprise.
It's business should be run on business
principles and every dollar invested
Should be invested wisely.

visation on Hawaiian scenic grandeur,
in which the composer painted tone

jesty of Kllauea, the wonder of noun
tain peaks, and the sunshine and surf
of Hawaiian beaches. ~. T.: !. =.
In addition to this lovely number,
Mr.. Thorley played his arrangement
of the Parsifal prelude; and selections
from Bach, Guilmant, Rossini, Dubois
