State and Federal Government, where
are we going to get the Million and
Half Dollars to match our Half Mil
lion. If we don't receive this dona-
ton will the Road Commission of
Halifax County or made to carry out
the plan they now have in mind. Or
will the maximum rate of IS cents for
maintenance have to be levied at once
in order to take care of One and Half
Million aid now EXPECTED. In this
event will someone please explain to
townships with outstanding bonds at
present how much the taxes in that
township will be lessened, bearing in
mind 80 cents for the $500,O00.O0; and
levy, or 1.3O on the old levy: FOR
MAINTENACE ALONE. The provis-
ion Of Is cents levy is a pretty limo
cent looking proposition, but if the
whole amount was to be levied annual
ly, the land holders will be pretty
heavily burdened. And there would
be nothing wrong about the commits
sioners levying this maintenance tax,
it would be their duty to do so, if
they thought it was necessary. For
by voting for GOOD ROADS you are
comforting this power upon them, and
THEY WOULD BE COMPELLED TO
LEVY IS CENTS IF 1T WAS NEG
ESSARY. And whether the land you
now value at 100000, was valued at
100000 or 100000 you would have
the privilege Of paying IS cents on
the hundred dollars.
There was a law passed several
years ago in this State making it com
pulsory for the State Farm to work
the road leading from Halifax to the
State Farm. WHY HASN'T THIS
LAW BEEN PUT INTO EFFECT?
ARE WE GOING TO SPEND A PART
OF THE FUNDS RAISED BY THE
PROPOSED BOND ISSUE ON THIS
ROAD THAT THE LEGISLATURE
HAS COMMANDED THAT STATE
FARM TO BUILD. IF NOT THEN
WHEN is THE ROAD GOING TO BE
BUILT AND HOW is 1T GOING TO
BE BUILT. Do the laws of our state
mean nothing?

we would be spending interest only
one tenth of our wealth yearly for this
one item There are other taxes to be
paid. The items above referred to are
based on the proposed Bond Issue, and
the IS cents maintenance.
If lis necessary to issue bonds, in
the amount Of $5OO,OOO.OO for good
roads, then why ism It it necessary to
issue bonds for maintenance. If it
takes only the 5OOOOO.OO to build the
Good Roads we need, why does it take
twice the amount Of the 80 cent levy
to maintain these roads. If the road
commission and county commissioners
have to exercise an che authority con-
ferred upon them by this measure, it
would be better for the people to issue
-Four Million dollars in Bonds, under
the same terms and conditions as the
proposed half million issue, than to
burden themselves with nahum lew
of IS cents alone. IN the case their

the purchasing power Of dollar was
at par, so under the $5O0OOO.OO bond
issue we would get about as much work
done as these townships were able to do
under their $3.50, 100000 worth Of bonds
Would this justify a complete change
of our road building system. And do
the Commissioners propose to rebuild
the roads that have already been con-
structed, if not, what part Of the
$50O,00O.O0 do the townships with out
standing bonds get? Then Of course
it they are not to have any benefit

VOTE THE BOND ISSUE FOR FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
To the Citizens of Halifax County:

To the Citizens Of Halifax County:
The building of roads is uppermost
in the public minds all over this state
from Hyde County to Cherokee, and
but few counties failed to ask for a
bond issue during the 1919 session of
the Legislature for the purpose of
building reads.
Our Highway Commission was es-
tablished in 1915 On a fund of ten
thousand dollars. Shat law was sup
plement by the session of 1917 by CIV
ing them thirty per cent of the auto
MOBILIZE tax. TINS nag aH& the money
that had to operate on up to the ses-
sion of 1919 when the law was amend
ed so as to give them the entire mo-
tor vehicle tax from the State. This
was to go to meet Federal Aid. What
ever deficit might be made was to be
met by issuing State Bonds to cover
the amount. No County can partici-
pate in this fund unless it puts up
twenty five per cent of the money
asekd for. Our County alone in the
course Of five years will pay into the
State Highway Fund for automobile
tax, and her proportional part Of State
Bond Issue, far in excess of a half
million dollars. From this amount
we don It get one penny unless we
participate in the fund. Does it look
fair and just to you that Halifax
County shall pay this stupendous a.
mount that more progressive counties
may build roads leaving us to floun-
der in the mud and drag through the
sand while the citizens of other coun-
ties ride on hard surface roads. and
enhance the value Of their property 2
Shall we participate or shall we wait
for more progressive generation to
come on the stage Of action who will
eventually build roads? What great
er heritage could we leave to poster
1ty than a system of good highways
through Halifax Countyg In my op-
inion the only thing that we can do
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1919-08-01

to keep pace with other progressive
counties in the State is to vote the
bond issue for five hundred thousand
dollars, get the State and Federal aid.

reference to so late period may be
regarded as eXtrayagant yet there is
actual record of smuggling as late as
the year named. 1t is known that the
SLAYER "Chlotilde" landed 175 negroes
frCm Africa near Mobile in 1858 and
that in December of the same year
the SLAYER "Wanderer" sailing under
the flag Of the New York Yatch Club
landed $50 slaves from the Congo near
Brunswick, on the east coast of Geor-
gia. 1t is also known that the "Wan-
derer" landed 600 more slaves en- the
Georgia coast in 1859 1t is related
that the $50 blacks landed by the
"Wanderer" in 1859 were sent up the
SatilIa and Savannah rivers, scatter
ed over the state Of Georgia, and sold
at 5000 and 500 head. Both these
latest importations are said to have
been composed CT young negroes from
thirteen to eighteen years of age.
It is thus seen to be quite possible
for all Of the 473 negroes described
in the census volume as born in africa
to have been imported into this coun-
try as slaves. lnded, considering the
known activity Of the lawless Snug
glers at 50 late date, it is reasonable
to suppose that the number of such in
the census report might be greater
still but for a not unlikely reluctance
to admit so tragic an early history.
1t is highly interesting to know that
wild" negroes from the Congo were
struggled into this country within our
own generation, that some of them
are still living, and that their children
and many cases no more remote than
this ought to be taken into account
both when we pass judgement and
when we consider certain aspects of
our negro problem.

ANOTHER HEAVY RATE

Mr. business man, have you realized

day and for all time to come as for
that matter, because council com.

A REFLECTION UPON OUR ARMY.

The Journal of the American Medical Associa-
ton stirred up a veritable hornets nest when 1t
asserted that the number of drug addlcts IN the
United States army is alarmingly large.
The hundreds of thousands of normal clean
living men who comprise the army quite natur-
ally resent the charge and the statements of
founded.
A druggist whose store is in close proximity
to a camp through which more than half mil
lion passed on their way to France comes for
ward with the information that during the past
year just one soldier asked for dope
When solitary out of 100000 seeks mar
cotics at the nearest drugstore indications are
that the percentage of drug addicts is not so
large among soldiers in other walks of life
The medical journal is to be called upon to ex-
plain the reason for its broad statement. It is
very large body of men were concentrated in
a single ward and came under the observation of
corps of doctors who, considering the number
rather than it's relation to the total, made a
casual remark which fund its way into print, to
the discredit of the entire fighting force of the
country
The high moral character of the average
American soldier is in itself full refutation of
the charge. An army composed largely Of drug
deeds of our army, and no further justification
is needed But the statement in the madica
journal is harmful and unless supported abso-
lutely unimpeachable evidence should be speedily
corrected.

MORE RED PROPAGANDA.

The Manufacturers Record is hot on the trail
of new and dangerous specimen of red propa-
ganda, of which it speaks as follows:
Among the various socialistic organizations
that flooding the country with their litera-
ture is one entitled "The League for the Am
nesy of Political Prisoners in which appears as
members of the two advisory boards such names
Steffens, Harry Weinberger, and few more of
the same kind, who, if known at all, are mostly
known for their rank socialistic teachings. This
organization is sending broadcast a request for
contributions for carrying campaign to Sc
cure freedom for all prisoners in American iails
who have been punished for political crimes This
league desires to secure the release of all political
offenders, regardless of the unpatrotic action Of
these offenders. 1t counts political prisoners
all who have been convicted for holding and ad-
vocating political opinions contrary to and be-
lieved to be injurious to the country's war sery-
ices" The plan, therefore, if it prevail upon
the American people to follow its lead, would be
to open the jas and penitentiaries to every man
welfare of the country from the political stand
point. Under this head we presume it would
class the many socialists, such as Debs, and
large proportion of the l. w. W., who should be
called Insane Wreckers of the World ST
Won't Workers. and others whose presence
curses the nation and lessons its power for the
development of the moral forces of the country
