Very fine sand largely composed of
loan and silt which has contributed
largely in my humble opinion to the
disappointment in some of their sand
clay constructions. This fine sand
mixed with clay has been placed on
an old worn macadam where it was
impossible for the sand and clay to
combine with the macadam and this
being only a thin coat the heavy rains
and the constant travel have worked
the water through this top coating UNI
til the old macadam base was reached
which held the water and finally broke
down destroying the road. / am not
speaking of Buncombe county for crit
tcism but only to show that the con-
dition in Buncombe county in which
sand-clay roads have been constructed
are very different from those in ouI
county.
What I think u people in Hender-
son county want is not so much theory
talk, and hot air about the construc-
ton of roads but the real construction
of a number of miles of road in all

That Concrete Road Idea.
l do not believe that our people
would be satisfied with the expendi-
ture of 100000 to build only some
four or five miles of road and these
all to be built within the city limits
which Mr.. Hudgins advocates in the
recent proposed bond issue of $780,
900. 90 which was to have been spent
by Mr.. Hudgins and his associates,
which at the price should, have been a
model road, / ann willing, however,
to leave this matter entirely to the ,
public to Judge for themselves and
will close this letter with an account
work that has been done by the
five commissioners elected by the
people OF Hen~dersonville township to
expend their bond issuesof 100000.
What Has ReenDOne.
It was my idea when the people is
sued these bonds that all sections oil
the township believed and expected
they would receive some benefit
from this issue and since $4,000 90
a small amount Of money to inn
prove all of the leading roads in the
township a great deal of thought was
given and much time spent in devising
and means whereby the great
est amount of work could be done at
the cheapest possible cost to give all
Of the people some benefit.
No other method than sand-clay un

/ personally wish to build any
road but sand-clay unless we had a
amount of money to build a
road with a concrete base with a water
macadam surface. This class
Of road owing tt its cost would not be
practicable for Henderson county, and
Is not necessary except under very
heavy and constant traffic. A road of
this kind could not be built for less

than SIG. 10000 per mile. Who woul5
have been willing to have seen all ~
this money spent on one road, CIR who
would have been much benefited il
only n mile had been built on five
different roads. It was not even nos
sible with the amount of money that
the committee had in their hands IN
do the necessary grading, furnish the
necessary culverts, and apply the sand
in the manner usually specified by the
United States government. It was
therefore necessary to resort to Some
means whereby a cheaper road could
be constructed. Some of the member
of the committee at first d~isapproved
any deviation from Uncle Sans meth.
DDS however after much discussion and
receiving a letter from Mr.. Josepb
Hyde Pratt, who is at the head of the
good roads for the State of North Car
Dina, stating that the methods that
we had adopted were cheapest and
would amount to the same thing in
the end as those recommended by the
government, the committee then de-
cided to adopt this method.
Most Roads for Least Money.
The greatest number OF miles of the
best road for the least cost was the
sole and only object the committee
had in view. AS to how well we have
succeeded, the public must be the
judge. / wish to tax your patience
with a description of the roads that
have been built with this money:
Il Roads Improved.
The Grab Greek road, Price Lane
road, Mud Greek road, Willow road,
Flicker School House road, Finley
Cove road, Mt. Hebron road, Shaws
Greek road, Haywood road. Asheville
road, Clear Greek road, Edneyvillp
road, Blue Ridge road, Dana road, Up
ward road, the Old Spartanburg road,
and thesNew Spartanburg road, have
all been graded and most of, them
sanded.. These roads constitute more
than one@hundred miles of road and
as for the manner in which this
has been. done, if any one win. take
the timeZto drive over them he will be
IN a better position to Judge as to the
of the work than l would
be able to tell him..
Th6 Comparable Cost,
If one will take%fhe trouble to CON-
pare what has been accomplished in
county with the amount of
money that has been spent with our
adjoining counties some information
may be thrown on this subject. In
making this comparison l do not wish
to criticise the work that has been
done in other counties. These coun-
ties have able officers and the expen-
diture of the money has been in the
hands of Wide-aWake business men.

EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS
(COntributed.)
SPEAKER WOOTEN.

North Carolina mourns the loss Of
a brilliant and popular young man
Hon. Emmett R. Wooten, Speaker of
the House of Representatives, who was
injured in an automobile accident a
week previous, died at Rex hospital
Raleigh on last Saturday afternoon
The speaker was thought to be doing
nicely until pneumonia began its
deadly work two days before the grim
monster claimed him as its victim
and his colleagues in the House en-
~tcrtained high hopes OF his recovery.
The death of Speaker Wooten re-
moves from public life n Of the most
promising young men in the State.
He had hardly passed the ago OF
tEirty-seven, yet numbered his friends
by the thousands from one end of
North Carolina to the other. This
writer considered Emmett Wooten
amongst his most loyal friends and
lGments the death of that anable gen
tlman as a personal loss. "a friend
in need, is q friend indeed" and Speak
err Wooten measured up to the ideals
Of friendship Of the genuine brand.
To know him was to love him and his
untimely taking away Is deeply de-
plored by patriotic North Carolinians
from the mountains to the sea. The
deepest sympathies of a host of friends
go out to the bereaved young vito
and the two little children in this sad
~afliction.

This is not so bad for dreadful
March.
In our news columns it is stated
That Captain Wofford is the only living
member of the noted Wallace House.
It should have been stated that he is
the only living delegate from Spartan
burg to the Wallace House.
Congratulations to District No. 5 in
the Horse Shoe section for petitioninG
for a special school tax election.
Longer school terms and greater
school efficiency mean p greater Hen
derson county. We long to see every
district in the county voting a special
school tax.
We were much impressed with the
idea of giving Ex-Congressman Grant
q bunch of flowers while he could en-
Joy them to the fullest extent. This
cold and cruel world is inclined to
postpone saying and doing good
deeds until it is too late. This was a
worthy example and we hope to sea
more of it.
The Times howled nightly last
week about the democratic party de-
priving republicans of local self-gov-
eminent. When the republicans gain
sufficient control of themselves to
have the city of Hendersonville repre-
scented on the board of county commits
sioners they will be in a position to
talk with more grace.
Every citizen of H~endersonville
should read the communication from
Road Supervisor P. F. Patton in the
Democrat this week and inform him.
self as to what has been done in the
may OF road building. All should be
proud of what has been accomplished
With the $4,000 bond issue, and we
understand that there is an ~appreciahle
balance in the treasury and that the
good work continues.
.
The Democrat SIS in hearty accord
with the communication with respect
to speeding on Fifth avenue. That's
not a proper place for the speed de-
Irons and if they don't have any more
regard for the observance of the laws
and the safety of the public than they
have been showing of late the officers
lust as we'll lake them in charge and
set a worthy example before summer
traffic sets in.
&
And they really have some Of the
Elijah type over in Waynesville. We
thought perhaps Hendersonville had
them all. Listen to the Courier: 'The
time to go after business for next
summer is right now, but there are a
lot of our people who seem to feel that
they can do like Elijah of old. wait
for the Lord to send ravens to feed
them"

We are nation of meat eaters ana

a well-known authority, who warns US
to be constantly on guard against KID

The kidneys do their utmost TO free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork: they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel ike
