Two Progressive Townships of Cataw-
ba County, In North Carolina, Have
Built Sand Clay Roads and Have
Found Them Very Satisfactory-Have
Withstood Some Bad Conditions.
Some years ago the question or a
bond issue was voted on by the two
most progressive townships Of Catawba
county, N. c., writes P. G. Henry in the
Farm Progress. Although many Of the
older people could not see the advan-
tage of voting bonds to the value of
$4,000 in each township for building
good roads, yet the measure carried by
a safe majority.
The day on which we successfully
passed that milestone is not 80 far be-
hind us-six years-yet we can observe
many improvements throughout the
whole county on account Of the good
roads already completed. Many people
in the other townships Of the county
we're skeptical about the ability OF good
roads to last year after year. But now
that they have used these improved
roads year after year they who were
once "kickers" have actually become
good roads advocates. Just the other
day I heard one Of them say:
"If they'll build good road out my
way I'll not only give them the right
Of way through my place, but all the
top soil they need and some cash be-
Sides"
1t is wonderful what effect such
stretch Of good road has on people who
once Eehemently opposed It's construc-
ton. To such people you can argue
good roads till you are blue in the
face and it won't have near the effect
that. several drives over such an i'm

DANGER OF PNEUMONIA

Health officers, the country over, &C
cording to their wont, will presently
flood the land with warnings against
colds, their complications and conse-
quences. and particularly against pneu-
monia. So often have these helpful
suggestions been laid before us that
little necessity should remain for re-
peating them another year. Statistics,
however, show that heedlessness still
prevails. Pneumonia, every year,
claims as it's victims thousands who
might have escaped the dread disease
had they observed the advice of the
health authorities.
These unite in declaring that pneu-
monia, in most instances, can be evad-
ed by breathing fresh air, cultivating
regular habits, getting enough sleep,
eating wholesome food, taking out
door exercise, keeping aloof from
crowds, imbibing no alcoholic slim
ulants and by avoiding excessive ia
tigue Most of this advice is easily
followed Fresh air is free and the
supply is unlimited. AS far the reg
ularity of habits. the eating, sleeping,
exercising and the abstinence, these
speak for themselves. They are mat
tiers of common sense. 1t is not always
easy, though to avoid crowds or to
stop short of excessive fatigue

Representative Akin Introduces
Measures to Abolish I.O=
cal Office.
SOME SURPRISE IS CAUSED
1t is Not KnOwn Whether or Not
1t is Ills Intention to Have the
Bill Passed at the Present
Session.
Session.

Whether or not it is his intention
to have the bill passed during the
present session of the Legislature is
not known, but Representative Akin
introduced i'll the house Monday the
bill to abolish the office of county
treasurer of Glynn county, as recon-
mended by the county commissioners
The Introduction of the bill came
as surprise to many people in the
county, as it had been generally un
dCrstOod that the representative had
agreed not to introduce the measure
at this session, but to let the present
treasurer serve out his term, which
expires in 1920, the office then to be
abolished.
The news of the Introduction OF
the bill was contained in Atlanta pa
pers of yesterday it merely being
among the list of new bills intro
duced
1t is hardly probable. however
that the measure will be reached by
the legislature before adjournment
unless the representative makes q
special effort to have it passed.
1t will be remembered that the
county commissioners. at more than
one session, passed resolutions call
ing upon the representative to intro
duce bill abolishing the office o.
county treasurer the county's money
to be handled by the banks of the
county. During the past two or three
years some fifty or sixty counties in
the state have had the treasurer
office abolished
Public opinion locally seems pretty
well divided on the subject. Many
people believe the office is a useless
one and should be abolished at once
while others hold to the opinion that
the present treasurer should not be
legislated out of office; that he
should be permitted to serve out the
term for which he has been elected
the office then to be abolished.
