WILL BUILD No
MORE NUDR0ADS
IN CARTER CD.
COUNTY COMM SSlONERS DE-
eide YESTERDAY THAT EVERY
MILE CONSTRUCTED IN Fu-
TURE BE HARD SURFACE.

By unanimous vote OF the county
commissioners yesterday afternoon
all money spent for roads in Garter
county in the future will be on per.
manent hard surface roads.
This action was ,aken when the
Good Roads Committee of the cham
Der OF commerce heaGed by Charles
Won Weise held a conference with
the county officials and pledged their
support and cooperation in the mat
ter OF road building.
Probably a score of farmers from
various parts of the county were at
the meeting and all endorsed the ac-
tion of the board
Practically all emergency work has
been completed and with the gross
production tax there Is no alterna-
tive but to proceed with permanent
construction.
The local committee did not ask
for any special road on which this
money was to be spent They con
sidered that since permanent roads
was the law and the commissioners
the men to enforce that law that Ard
more would be satisfied with the
work they did so long as 1t was per
manent. Mr.. Won WeIse was spokes-
man and pointed out how this gross
production money was directed to be
spent under the law and said that the
farmers were just as much interested
in the matter as the town people and
that they needed the hard roads and
would expect them.
I'VE are not here for any other
purpose than to tell you that Ardmore
will be satisfied with your work If
you build permanent roads and build
them anywhere on any road. but let
your constituents know that you are
beginning a system which with this
gross production money will give
them real roads in a few years. The
farmers know we have always re
sponded and we will do it again and
again. II will not be long before
there will not be any emergencies
and Carter county Will have the best
roads in the state"

FARM MANAGEME
WITH BOIL WEEVIL

ATHENS, Ca, Feb. "A timely ana
valuable bulletin by the department Of
aeronomy of the College of Agricu'-
tUre here has just been issued for free
distribution in the state, the title Of
which is Farm Management Under
Boil Weevil Conditions" Farmers who
will sooner or later be seriously ham
pered in growing cotton by reason of
the weevil are urged not to become
discouraged and give up cotton. The
bulletin tells even by diagrams how
much of a farm to devote to cotton and
how much to various other crops. A
gradual introduction of livestock is
urged, hogs as a starter being pref
cradle with gradual adding of beef and
dairy animals.
The management of labor and the
maintenance of credit are discussed,
farmers being urged to grow home
supplies and see to it that the tenants
do likewise, while those who extend
credit are cautioned not to become
panic stricken, but to gradually re-
duce credit on cotton and gradually
Increase it on other farm operations.
The crop best suited to start out with
under boil weevil conditions, to get
away from the one-crop system, are
each treated in the bulletin.

REAL ESTATE DEALS
MADE IN AMER|CUS

More evidence of a new era of pros
pority around Americas has been das-
played when two large real estate
deals were consummated.
The largest transaction completed
was the sale of the beautiful J. A. j.
Wilder place on the Plains road. W.
s. Ivey, who recently returned to
Americas from Dillon, S. c., was the
purchaser of this very valuable farm.
The consideration involved, while not
made public, is rumored to have been
well over ten thousand dollars. Thos.
". Westbrook made this sale.
The second deal of Tuesday was the
sale to j. Gordon Clark of Atlanta, of
very valuable lot of land, formerly
part of the Joel J. Hall farm on the
Seals Mill road. The consideration in
this instance was we'll above three
thousand dollars. Both the transac-
lions were for cash.
These two sales in one day only go
to show that the fertile farms of Sum
ter county are constantly in demand.
And the fact that both transactions
were for cash is proof enough that
the money here is plentiful. This deal
was made through George D. Wheat
ley.

the bulk of the coal, the duty was
taken off to leave in Canadian coal

was taxed. Cotton, cotton, who's
got the cotton" that's the slogan in
Washington, and the answer always
seems to come back in dull repetition
the South's got the cotton, SO
don't tax that"
The saddest part OF the whole
story is the end OF this story. For
with all the juggling OF tariffs. the
Democrats find that because of plCc-
ing so many products OF the North
on the free list, there isn't half
enough revenue to run the govern
ment. The last year of Republican
administration saw import duties on
foreign goods coming into this coun-
try producing for our government
$500, 100000; the Democratic admin
istratiOn import duties for 1915 were
only $19S,000,00 and yet the i'm
ports, ad valorem, increased under
the present Democratic year over the
Republican year, so that had we been
running our government under the
Republican tariff revenues would
have been more than enough to pay
the government debts without re-
sorting to the direct class taxation of
everything in northern states and the
eating up of $3.50. 100000 of the
Panama bonds which the wiser cx-
penditures Of Republican admins
tration had never been called upon
TO issue for the building of the PAN
ANA canal or any other purpose.
The only conclusion which can be
reached after a perusal OF these facts
is that West Virginia Democrats,
part and parcel Of the sectional sys-
ten which has piled up huge deficit
in the national treasury and a huge
taxation on the people. has no more
