ROAD MEN WANT
STATE BOND ISSUE.

At the fifth annual meeting of the
nlinois highway Improvement assocla-
don at Danville $50 men from % coun-
nes resolved to use their best efforts
to get $60,000,000 bond issue to build
1900 miles of hard roads, to make q
reasonable increase In the auto license
fee and to ask the general assembly
to appropriate enough money to meet
the federal aid money for building
hard roads In the state.
Two days were spent talking over
these three subjects. The men were
largely 6o1tnty supervisors who are
on special roads committees. officers
of automobile clubs, representatives
Of commercial clubs and newspaper
men from the counties interested In
she movement, and several state leg
isiators. These men unanimously
favored these propositions.
In January the proposition for a
$G0,000000 bond issue will be put up
to the legislature. Practical men dis
cussed the plan thoroughly. The
proposition was brought up because 1t
Is being asked for and because the
state has outgrown the smaller ways
Of roadbuilding. Also because the
present generation want to have some
use of the improved roads. This Is
shown by the fact that 25 counties
are now contemplating county bond
issues Of $1,0O0.000 to S2,000,OO0
Complete details of such bond issue
have been worked out, and 1t shows
exactly what 1t will cost each county
of the state. From those figures 1t h
evident that such bond issue would
not bankrupt landowners. The prop
osition must first be put up to ths
legislature and then voted upon b,
the people. Here are the main rea
! sons for bringing about the bond -

The Ist is in mind it will de-
stroy the church.
and 1t will keep il dead
When lie comes the second time
without sin unto salvation We will
still be dead and that without
remedy. ther fore, we as chui ch
menbets should learn the i'm
portance of self control. When
Sin exits we perish with it. Sin
makes people unhappy and God
hates il, because He wants every
body to be happy and enjoy his
blessings.
We cannot control ourselves
wi'hou. fest being converted.
You must be born again. "
After the new birth takes place
we then have new desires and de-
termination and He wants us for
his kingdom. He controls our
temper and would make us obe-
dient servants il we would allow
Him.

DEBATE AT HIGH SCHOOL FRIDAY

Friday night at eight thirty at the
Scotland Neck high school a debate of
no little interest to this town will be
delivered by two Of the students of the
high school, Miss Gertrude Mcdowell
and Mr.. Phillip burlington, who will
contest with two students Of the Will
iamston High School, Miss Muse Eure
and Mr.. c. B. Carstarphen, the subject
being Resolved, that the federal gov
eminent should own and control all
railroads..
The affirmative side Of the question
will be upheld by the home team, and
negative by the visitors
Both Miss Mcdowell and Mr.. Pur
rington have been devoting considera
BILE study to their papers since they
were chosen by the local judges some
three weeks ago, and it is certain tina:
the visiting debaters will be equally
well prepared to contest for their side
of the argument.
These debates of the students Of the
| high school are very beneficial an6
should be encouraged by the mother:
and fathers, and those interested in the
advancement Of the students, so it i
I to be hoped there will be full attend
ance at the school building to encourage
! the students and faculty in their en-
deavor.

English Flaywrite Released From Army

Mr.. Cosmo Hamilton, famous English
author, playwrite and sportsman, who
until recently has been serving with the
Royal Flying Corps, is now in America
with number of new plays and short
stories. One of these stories which is

has written this story particularly for
the young husbands and wives of Am
erica.
He, himself, describes it as hand
grenade, and says he hopes it bursts.
It is called "The Turning Point be-
cause it is laid in the fifth year of Il

Mr.. Hamilton believes to be the point
/ at which marriage becomes a success
