ship system to that of one uni
form Countrywide system, and
in voting on this matter we
should he sure that our thought
is upon the broad lines of Coun-
ty-wide economic development
rather than upon the selfish
basis of having our township pay
as little tax as possible and let
the other fellow build his roads
or not build them, as the case
may be. Certainly it is that
Roanoke Rapids Township with
its large amount of property as
sessed for taxation can much
better build its roads when it
has but a few miles, than can
Brinkleyville with a tremendous
mileage of roads and a small
amount of property; but equally
certain it is valueless to Roanoke
Rapids Township to have a good
system of roads and be surround
ed by townships that on account
of the heavy burden of taxation
involved would be unable to build
and maintain their roads. The
public road system must be
Countrywide if we are going to
deal with the matter sensibly
and intelligently.
So far as lam able to see,
and certainly so far as your Rep
resentatives in the General
Assembly intend, there is no
"nigger in the wood pile" in
either of the acts submitted to
you for your approval at the
special election, but simply a
square and fair submission of the
question whether the people of
Halifax County desire q good
uniform system Of highways ef-
ficiently administered and are
willing to pay the taxes neces-
sary to secure such a system. |
believe that the people of the
County will vote "For Good
Roads" and the issuance of the
bonds for the following rea-
sons: First, in order to secure
a central, uniform and efficient
administration of the public
roads of the County supported
by a tax intelligently, calculated
each year from a budget and
levied justly at the same rate all
over the County; Second, in or.
der to place the County Highway
Commission in a position to be
able to make application for and
receive financial aid from the
State and Federal Governments
in building a uniform system
of good roads throughout the

TO The VOTERS OF HALIFAX
COUNTY


the five men named in an act
passed by the last General AS
sembly of North Carolina as
Members of the Halifax County
Highway Commission to assume
Office as soon as the $500, ,000.00
Bond Issue is passed on by the
voters of the County on August
5th next.
Assuming that the Bond Issue
will be approved at the coming
election, the new Highway Com
mission will then, under the
terms of the companion or Ad-
ministrative Act, have entire
charge OF and be responsible for
the expenditure of The Bond
money and all road tax moneys
of the entire County, for the
purpose of building and main
tanning a satisfactory system of
highways in the County and
building and maintaining salts
factory bridges in the County.
The companion Act referred to
provides that as the County as
sumes responsibility for the Bond
issues of the Townships that
have been issued in the past,
that practically all of the new
Bond Issue is to be spent in the
Townships that have not issued
Bonds, and furthermore provides
that the new County Highway
Commission shall maintain at all
times as far as practicable the
roads all over the County in ap-
proximately the same state of
repair.
The County engineer has al
ready prepared a tentative
schedule of expenditures of the
new Bond Issue, which schedule
is we think as equitable as any
that could from a practical stand
point be formulated.
The County Engineer has also
mapped out a system of main
tanning the roads in the County,
which in a general way proposes
to divide the County up into
eleven road zones, in each of
which a maintenance gang of
sufficient size, and with proper
equipment to maintain the roads
throughout the year in that par
ticular zone, will be kept.
We wish to come before the
voters of the County before the
election with the statement that
if they see fit, and we confident
ly believe they will see fit. to
vote favorably on the proposed
Bond Issue, we will to the best
of our ability administer the af-
fairs entrusted to us in a broad
minded and fair manner, will ex-
pend the Bond and Tax moneys
| in an economic way, and in a
way that will interfere to as
small an extent as possible with
the agricultural and industrial
activities of the County, and in a
way that will reflect to the bene-
fit of the citizenship of the
County as a whole.
We confidently believe labor
conditions in the County will
not be disturbed unduly by the
road work that will be carried
on, that after the contemplated
roads are built and properly
maintaintained that benefits will
accrue to our large and product
i've County far surprising the
expectations of the most optimis-
tic good road advocate. We be-
lieve the passage of the Bond
Act on August 5th will be the
most progressive and far-reach-
ing step that this County has
ever taken, and we urge the
voters to carry same with ar
overwhelming majority, knowing
that they will never regret theil
action.
Respectfully,
J. R. Dickens

New York, Dec. 22.-The United
States army transport Buford-ark Of
the soviet-has sailed with her cargo
of anarchists, communists and radi-
calls banned from America for con-
spring against it's government The
ships destination was hidden in
sealed orders, but the 249 passengers
it carried expect to be landed at some
far northern port giving access to SO
Wet Russia.
Long live the revolution in Amer
ica," was chanted defiantly by the
motley crowd on the decks of the steel
gray troopship as she churned her
way past the statue of Liberty. Now
and then they cursed in chorus at the
United States and the men who had
cut short their propaganda here.
Not until the Buford steamed out of
the Narrows between Forts Hamilton
Over their heads, whipping in the
wind, the Stars and Stripes floated
from the masthead.
The autocrats of all the Russians on
the transport were Alexander Berk
man and Emma Goldman, his boon
companion for thirty years. With
them were 245 men and two women
Ethel Bernstein and Dora Lipkin.
Only few high officials of the War
and Labor Departments know the
ships destination.
The voyage will last eighteen days
unless it is prolonged by unfavorable
weather The presumption is that the
Buford will land at Harve, Helsing-
fors, or Abo in Finland, which are
connected by rail with Bielo-Caporoff
on the Russian frontier 1t was in
timated in official quarters that ar
rangements have been made with the
Finnish government to permit the
passage of the Russians through that
country.
The transfer from Ellis island to
the Buford of the agitators who have
preached death and destruction was
an event unique in the annals of this
nation. Seized in raids in all parts of
for deportation. An elaborate screen
of secrecy was thrown about the prep
arations for sending them away.
1t was in the darkest hours of night
that an army tug drew up at the dock
at the immigration station to take
aboard the undesirables for the seven
mile journey down the bay to the
BufOrd.
Two dozen soldier, armed with
rifles, and as many immigration in
spectors carrying night sticks pa
trolled the shores of Ellis island until
the tug arrived at 5:15 a. m. The
Reds were marched single file be-
tween two lines of guards from the
immigration barracks to the boat
landing, each carrying his or her bag
gage. A score Of agents of the De-
partment of Justice circulated among
the Russians.
