From now on Mr.. LOntz will be an

THE result of the primary election

THE SOY BEAN.

In our next issue we will publish an
interesting article under the above cap
ton from the pen of Mr.. C. B. Will
]iams of Robson county, and same
will be an interesting piece Of reading
for the farmer who is contemplating
putting in a crop of this kind for soil
improving purposes or for pasturage.
We recently had talk with Mr. B. B.
Everett Of Palmyra, who is advertising
a limited quantity Of these beans for
sale for seed, and he states that he
finds that they will do exactly what is
claimed for them He is disposing of
his surplus supply to people right here
in his home county. Another inter
esting portion of the article we will
publish is the substitution of soy beans
for cotton seed at the cotton oil mills
The cost of crushing the seed and sack
ing the meal is said to be as low, if
not lower than cotton seed.

A REAL MOVE FOR GOOD,

The public spirited members Of the
Scotland Neck Board of Trade are to
be commended upon the stand they
assumed last night in calling upon the
mayor and town aldermen for a bond
issue for waterworks and sewerage and
paved streets. The time was never
more ripe for these improvements; in
fact one could not expect the town to
go forward financially and in popula-
ton without these improvements. It
goes without saying that III less time
will be in effect and giving service to
the people who have so long needed
them. 1t is not expected, either, that
every citizen of the town will join in
with these farsighted members of the
Board of Trade to see the improve
ments, because every town has its
back numbers, but it becomes the duty
of the real progressive citizen to speak
kindly with his brother who can not
see as far ahead, and the work will be
accomplished without a great division
OF sentiment.
Common sense teaches us that the
proposed improvements Of the town viii
greatly reduce the sick rate and at the
same time be real commodity W.
will never forgive Ourselves for doing
without so long.
Let us keep an eye single to the ae
complishment of this great work.

STATES PRISON AGAINST
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The people of North Carolina, and es-
peciallv those of Halifax County, are
entitled to know whether the State 3
Prison Board and Superintendent shall
obey the acts of the General Assembly
or whether they have some special pro-
lection or dispensation through which
they may laugh at the authority of the
Legislature. L for one believe that thu
State s Prison Board and Superinten-
dent should obey the law as much as
an humble individual. The State owns
several thousand acres Of land in this
County in Halifax Township, known a..
the State Farm, which is cultivated by
the State s Prison. This farm, I be-
lieve, is the best paying piece of pro-
perty owned by the State. Upon said
farm is worked several hundred mules
which, of course, necessitates the use
of the public roads for the State Farm
to transport it's produce and fertilizer
The State pays no taxes to help main
tain the roads used by them. The Gen
eral Assembly Of North Carolina
through its wisdom, at it's extra session
in 1913, passed law requiring the
States Prison to work and repair the
public road leading from the State
Farm to the town of Halifax, abou
seven miles in length (see Chapter IS
Laws Of 1913, Extra SESSION.. TIL,
State s Prison ignored said law for tn,
years 1913 and 1914, after having beer
repeatedly asked by the Highway of
fcers of said County to work said road
The law above cited of 1913 was NOR
of request than demand, as the peo
pie Of Halifax thought request woul,
only be necessary. So the General AS
sembly, Session 1915, Chapter SO, pass
ed another act to amend Chapter IS o

ures as follows, to-wit:

Speaker Wooten, who died from lnJur-
les received in an automobile accident,

Murphy and Mr.. Page are legislators
of experience and of much popularity
and already it is seen that the contest
for the speakership is going to be an IN

of the highway commission of Halifax

State s Prison shall place on said road
not later than August first, nineteen
not less than thirty in number, with
suitable teams, and so forth, not less
than forty mules, with wagons and
tools, and keep the same there until
said work is completed: Provided,
that the directors Of the States Pris-
on may not be required to build moro

built under the bond issue of the high
way commission of said township
Section 2. That all laws in conflict
with this act are hereby repealed.
Section 3. This act shall be in force
from its ratification
In the General Assembly read three
times and ratified this the 25th, day
Of February, 1915.
Since the adjournment of the Gener-
al Assembly of 1915, 1 am reliably in
formed that the Superintendent and
Boadr of Directors of the State Prison
have been repeatedly asked to comply
with this law, but thus far have re
fused to do so, thereby in substance
saying to the law making power of
North Carolina, 81 will not obey your
mandates. I will not comply with your
law. I am greater than the General
Assembly. Therefore, take your little
law as passed by the Legislature and
go to the Devil with it, and if you want
your roads worked, work them your
self''
Now, it is not question of whether
the roads should be worked by the State
or not. It is a question of whether the
Board Of Directors and Superintendent
of the States Prison shall obey the
mandates of the General Assembly o1
North Carolina or not.
The powers that be ought to give ths
people answer to this. Will some
one answer? The State Prison ough-
