RALEIGH MAN TAKES
MS OWN LIFE
Disappeared From Home Early In At
ternoon and Search Instituted;
Note Said He Was Going OF.
(Raleigh News & observer.)


Mr.. c. C. Mcdonald, stock broker,
for many years prominent in business
and political activities in Raleigh, was
found dead in the summer house at
the Raleigh Country Club last night
shortly before twelve o'clock with a
bullet hole through his heart. His
coat was neatly folded under his head
and beside him was a twenty-five cal
ibre revolver and pocket knife with
an open blade The latter had not
been used. But an empty revolver
chamber, and stains of powder and
blood told the story. Coroner Chas
Separk later at the Browns under
taking establishment, with every indi-
cation of suicide before him, declared
that no inquest would be held unIes:
requested.
Mr.. Mcdonald had been missed
since early yesterday afternoon. After
doing bit of writing at desk al
home, he had left the house, leaving
his wife in the room. Later, when he
did not return for supper, she became
uneasy and instituted a search. L
| developed that he had been seen nea7
the Country Club, where he was ac
customed to go each afternoon.
At eleven o'clock Mrs. Macdonald
found in a drawer of chiffonier SOM
money and a few valuables, togethe
with note reading: ''To my wife"
That was all. Her fears were in
creased. Mr.. John Mcdonald, son
with DR.. Hubert Haywood, in an auto
mobile, went to the Country Clut
where his body was found in the sum
mer house. There were no signs @
a struggle.

London takes it for granted that the

participation in the war has developed
in Sofia.
The Bulgarian Premier, Mr.. Radios

Good Roads: How to
Get and Keep Them
OIon. Henry A. Page in Progressive Farmer.)

month would be often enough. Split
the difference, and make it every two
weeks. Well, but the very best built
roads in my state have not been
touched in six months or year, or
longer-many of them have never beer
touched since completion. Some OF
these roads are so constructed as to
make repair expensive; with others
it is impossible.
The question of maintenance should
be kept to the front in deciding every
detail of construction. And just here
let me emphasize another fundamen-
tai principle. There is only one way
to maintain road in good condition
all the time, and that way is to drag
it frequently enough to keep ruts and
holes out of it's surface. Therefore
the road should be built in it's every
detail so that it can be easily and
| cheaply dragged. The most important
single item in construction is proper
drainage. Complete maintenance is
spelled this wag: drag. Surface
material does not matter so much as
we think. Gravel, sand-c1ay, cement
these things do not make good roads
stay good. Drain and drag are the gold
dust twins. 1 am pre-supposing the
best possible road engineer; then
build to perfectly drain with your eye
always on the later use of a drag.
About that engineer: I would en-
ploy the best one in reach, and have
him take plenty of time to find the
best location, avoiding cuts and fills
as much as possible. Better to GO
around than through, if for no other
reason than because it makes drag
ging easier and cheaper and more
efficient. Tell him that you want hin
to provide plans for bitches and under
} drains so that not one drop of water
that falls on adjacent lands can eve
5 run on to the roadway at any point
$ and when you get the stakes in th'
s ground, our profiles and full plans
$ discharge the engineer. Of course,
do not mean exactly that but in tn
t later processes of construction do no
t let him have his way so fully. He vii
r want to build your road too wide; t
e give it too much crown, elevation i
e the middle,) or he will insist on sui
f face material that is more difficult
Ii procure and more expensive than 20
S can afford. He will want to spend a
d your money on construction and leay
IS none for maintenance. Set your faC
,e like steel against these profession;
characteristics. Maintenance is vol
s. chief concern; building is all of his.

THE TENTED CITY
A WONDERFUL BUSINESS SYSTEM
CONTROLS CARL HAGENBECK-
WALLACE CIRCUS.

The show grounds of the Carl Hag-
enbeck- Wallace Circus is a city with
in itself, lacking only town council
and a State charter. 1t has it's own
lawyers, postmaster, dentists, doctors,
carpenters, painters, detectives, black
smiths, wagon-makers, laundrymen,
BARRIERS, shoemakers, tailors, sail-mal1-
ers, harness. makers, store keepers
and photographers. 1t supports
great hotel, in which thousands of
meals are cooked and eaten every day
in the week.
Twenty-Five tents that cover small
size farm houses the circus in the day
time. The largest tent is $40 feet in
length, and among the biggest ever
constructed. Six gigantic oak poles
form the chief support. Any one of
them is larger than the largest mast
on a sea-sailing vessel; the smallest
tent is the one used to house the cir
Gus barber shop. At night the circus
is transported on show train one
mile in length and divided into three
sections; another sun sees the great
institution in another city. In a single
season the circus train travels almost
10000 miles, making stops in about
geo cities and giving 400 perform
ances. The big show has exhibited in
every city of any size in the United
States. While the Hagenbeck-Wallac
Show is an American institution and
entirely controlled by capital of thi:
country, yet the show is equally wei
known in the old countries.
; The wonderful creative ideas of Car
Hagenbeck and the remarkable system
of B. e. Wallace are still the activ
: principles of the management. Not

and growth.

However it may be in other states, l
am convinced that here in North Car
olina we are wasting so per cent of
the money we are spending for i'm
proved roads; the mud-sill of our
whole road building structure is rot
ten. We are voting bonds to build
what we call permanent" roads, and
taking no thought for maintenance.
A permanent road does not call for
maintenance. This is the idea upon
which we are acting, and the result is
that the type of road we are building
does not lend itself to either easy or
cheap maintenance, and after we get
it we find that there is no such thing
as a permanent road, and in building
at that ideal we have constructed a
road that not only needs upkeep and
wears out without it, but worse than
this, our building methods have given
us kind of road that is so difficult
and expensive to maintain that we do
not maintain it. Therefore it wears
out, and when it is past endurance
there is nothing to do but make an
other bond issue and build another
permanent" CD road. Thus we are
piling up bond issues to be paid b5
| future generations for roads that will
not last until our babies put on lons
pants.
No Such Thing as "Permanent'' Road
Before we can learn truth, we have
first to unload error. The first steI
therefore is to puncture that bubble
about permanent roads. There is n,
such thing, at least not within th'
reach of any community in my state
AS have stated, permanent road,
there were such a thing, would no
need maintenance. There is no practi
cal way to mend or maintain mecad
am or other rock road, and they d
wear out quickly; therefore it is woe
full and wilful waste of public fun d
to build rock roads at all. I kno'
some road engineers will dispute thi
statement, but I am quite sure of il
truth nevertheless. Exit mecadam, q
far as / am concerned.
Now for. another dogmatic stateme1
I am willing to tie to: Any road thu
does not receive systematic regule
, maintenance and inspection from IL
!, day it is finished will suffer damas
n which cannot be fully repaired, and
4 this neglect is continued the road wi
soon become worthless. Railroad
are built up to the highest standal

new BRITAIN HIGH
HARTFORD VICTIM
Hardware city Nine Goes Down
to Defeat b. 80 Score.

New Britain High school oase-
hsu team was kalsomined by the
Hartford High school team Satur-
day afternoon at the Wethersneld
avenue grounds in Hartford. me
Hartford team put on three coats OF
whitewash to make the defeat or the
locals the more pronounced. Tne
game was close and interesting from
the first ball pitched to the final out.
Hartford seemed to have a superior
team and won 8 to 0.
The first run came in the fifth when
Levinson hit to short 1ert field, stole
second, advanced to third on Conley>
passed ball and scored on Fay's single.
The other two runs were scored in the
eighth inning. Tracey made his
second hit Sanford reached first by
Schade's error, Tracey moving to
second. Berry hit a slow roller down
the first base line and-made nrst base
when the throw to- the tbaseman hit
him in the head Tracey scored on
this play and Sanford pulled up on
third. Benedict hit a long sacrifice fly
to Walther by which Sanford made
the third run. '#7
An excellent pitching duel featured
the game. The honors were divided
fairly evenly Smith allowed only
three hits while Hartford found
Dudack for seven. Smith struck out
five and Dudack seven, and Smith
lowered his record by walking four
men while Dudack showed superb
control, giving no passes. The support
port accorded the local baxman was
not equal to the Hartford pitcher.
Stolen bases were numerous. Both
catchers showed a weakness in throw
ing but the most evident weakness of
the whole contest was the failure of
the local players to hit at opportune
moments. Chances for a score were
luminous in the seventh when, after
Dudack was put out, Walther and
Schade singled successfully but the
