MANY VISIT MANNING.

Last Sunday quite a number
of Klngstree citizens went over
to Manning to see the destruc-
tion wrought by the storm that
visited our neighboring city the
previous Friday afternoon.
There were also a number of Wis
itors from Sumter. Florence,
Scranton, Lake City and otler
points and perhaps the largest
number of automobiles ever seen
in that town was there Sunday.
Among those who went over
from Kingstree was a represen-
tative of The Record. He took
in the town pretty thoroughly
and noted the extent of the dam
age by wind and rain. The re-
port published IN the daily paper
Saturday we're not in the least
exaggerated In fact, these re-
ports were sent out so soon af-
ter the storm that full concep-
ton of the actual destruc tion
was hardly obtainable then.
There were between fifty and
sixty buildings either complete
ly demolished or badly damaged
and it struck US as a miracle as
we viewed the wreckage of fall
len walls. and roofs that only
four persons were killed and so
few injured.
Several stores were unroofed
and the down pour of rain caus-
ed considerable damage to mer-
cnandlse. Large trees in the
path of the storm were torn off
and several buildings lifted from
their foundation; among these

lzing conditions. and the roads
are bringing strangers from all
over the North. The automo-
biles that come through the
State carry the name tags OF
nearly all the Eastern State
from Illinois to Maine.
The signs ali seem to indicate
that tee buildingof good roads
in North Carolina has only reach
ed a good beginning. Almost
every day comes the news from
some township or county that
the work has been started, and
this year will see more road i'm
provement undertaken than ever
before in the States history.
Every year sees more substan-
tisl work. Better grades, bet
ter alignment and wider surfaces
are growing in popularity. Bet
ter bridges, more cement and
stone culverts, more skill in get
ting more mileage for the same
money are all visible. In the
mountains grades are cut down
boldly, and in the low grounds
bitches are cut with but one
idea in mind, and that's to make
the best possible roads. The
roads of New Hanover county,
| in which Wilmington is situated,
vie with the roads of Buncombe.
where the mountains shelter
Ashville.
North Carolina is building for
tomorrow, and when the world
realizes what a system of roads
is now pretty well connected up
from the sounds to the noun
tains and from Virginia to South
Carolina the State is certain to
be the Mecca for an army OF
travellers, for it has the attrac-
tions to interest them and the
climate to make automobile trav
ell a delight at almost any sea-
son.
But the main thing is that the
good roads have made local
transportation a cheap and SIM
pie matter all over the State,
and it is only since that has hap
pened that'the people realize
what a wonderous help cheap
and convenient transportation
is.-Manufacturers Record.

development that nobody can

The attitude of the the peo
pie is remarkable. Lee county
is typical of the situation.
Something over a year ago Lee
commenced to build good roads
under a decided opposition.
Bonds were issued after a severe
struggle and the work was car
ried on in, the face of continual
tritlcisu. But a good road is
the best argument in favor OF
road improvement, and after
building 40 or SO miles of roads
Lee county voted on another
bond issue of 500, The
bonds carried. Men who had
emphatically. opposed g o o d
roads tried out the mileage that
was constructed, and they want:
ed more. The enthusiasm is
pronounced.
All over the State the senti-
ment is aroused. Money is being
raised in all conceivable forms.
Davidson county has been allow
ed by the Legislature to issue
$4,000, 900 in bonds for roads.
Otner counties have voted the
bonds in big or little sums them.
selves. Other counties work in
townships are voting as high as
$4,000. In other instances in
dividuals are uniting to build
roads through private effort, and
all they ask of the township OF
county is to locate the road so
that when built it may be a
permanent highway, J. W. John
son, a leading farmer OF Hoke
county, was county commission
er last year. Seeing that there
were more demands for roads
than the road fund would pay
for, he voted for good roads as
far as the money would go, then
he turned in and built a good
road himself from one of the
completed roads out to his farm,
q mile or so, and turned it over
to the township to be a link IN
system when the road is extend
| ed to another road which Will
make it a main road through his
section. To supplement the
township and county fund farm
ers along many of the roads
have subscribed cash or work to
help encourage roads that were
projected, but not yet built, be-
cause of shortage of funds. The
Capital highway between South
ern Pines and Raeferd was large
Ily built by private enterprise,
as was the road from Aberdeen
to Raeford, and as one OF the
farmers along the road said the
other day, "these roads cost US
about $500 a mile, but if you
weuld offer US $4,000 a mile to
give them up we would tell you
we would not let them go for
FIVE times that money. We know
what a good road is now. The
reason we did not have them
long ago is because we did not
know"

One of the most promising
forward movements in the en-.
tire South is the road work that
is under way in the State of
North Carolina. It is only a
few years ago that the idea was
conceived thata State as thinly
settled as this could afford to
have good roads in the country
districts. Then, prot baby, the
coming Of the automobile helped
things along. The discovery of
sand clay road expedited mat

Beyond a doubt it is one OF the

true that roads cannot be built

the State but cheap roads are
possible in all Of the sandy sec.

the fundamental of a good road,
and which is why a sand clay

seemed to break out in several

DIFFICULTIES IN PRAYER.

There is no doubt that, to the ordi-
nary Christian. prayer is not an easy
master. It seems at first sight as if it
ought not to be difficult to place our
selves in the presence of our heavenly
Father, and to make known to Him
our many needs. to praise and thank
Him for all His benefits, to worship
and adore His divine majesty and His
supreme goodness. There is, too, a
natural propensity in the human heart
to cry out in time of need to that One
who alone can help us with power
that is unbounded and a love that is
always ready to listen and to grant aid
in distress. Yet, for all this, prayer is
hard work. We find that prayer-that
is to say anything like constant and
persevering prayer-needs great de
termination to begin, and effort to
continue. 1t is hard to keep up at
tention for more than a few minutes;
distractions pour in from every side,
and we are soon wearied by the strug-
gle to fight against them.
Now, the reason why prayer is diff
cult to us is to be found not merely
i'm ourselves. but in the very nature
of prayer itself. For true prayer is the
most exalted action of which a crea-
ture is capable. 1t is a supernatural
action; it is the raising up of the

King Ethelred, with the charge of all
the nunneries of his realm. She
brought them into a state of perfect
observance, and founded the new alb.
beys of Trenthanl, Hamburg and Wee

life was still hidden with Christ in

Psalter on her knees. She made a
