There is quite bunch OF small chill
dren at the Economy Home at Pied
mont springs, in charge of Rev. j. II
SpaldinS, and while they seem to be
pretty well provided for, there is little
reason to doubt that further outside
support would be appreciated. Mos
of the children seem TO be under IL
years of age, and all Of them appear
to be bright little chaps.
They are going to have that York
Vile Rock Hill road in fine shape this
winter. During last Wednesday II
took good driving TO get an automo-
bile over the road between Newport
and Tirzah at the rate Of ten miles an
hour; but by Saturday there was nc
difficulty about smashing the speed
limit to smithcreens.
IL is about seven miles further from
Yorkville to Charlotte by way of Cio-
yer and Gastonia than by Rock Hi
and Fort Mill, according to one auto
mobile party that made the trip Sun
day, going one way and returning the
other. But people who know always
90 by Gastonia, because Of the roads
They can make the longer distance
quicker than the shorter distance. TIE
principal handicap over the Fort Mil
route. it appears, Is the road through
the Gold Hill section Of Fort Mil
township.
The road between Yorkville ant
Blacksburg, by way of A. N. McGiifs
store, Piedmont, springs and Kings
Creek is very good; but the worst OF II
is between Piedmont springs ana
1.-THE point where the National highway
is entered just east of Blacksbur5
From there on to Spartanburg the Ma
tional highway is simply fine. With
any fairly good! car it is rather more
difficult to remain within the speed
limit of 25 miles an hour, than to eX-
coed that limit. But between King
Creek and Blacksburg there is some
pretty bad road. 1t is of unsurfacad
red clay and; the rain of last week
softened it until it was cut into deer
ruts. Travel is going to be difficult
over this road this winter unless 1t Is
looked after soon.

There is talk of reviving the project
of erecting on Mount Mitchell a shaft
similar to the Washington monument
in honor Of Doctor Mitchell, to whom
belongs the distinction of establishing
the fact that this is the highest noun
tain east of the Mississippi river The
project was well under way at the out
break of the world war with Gen. j. >
Carr, as chairman of the committee in
charge of raising the money and the
understanding is that considerable
sums had been subscribed. 1t would
take quite a large amount of money
to complete such monument as the
projectors of the plan have i'm mind;
but the North Carolina folks are fully
equal to the undertaking if their en-
thusiasm is once thoroughly aroused.

More than $22,6OO,OOO in credit

came operative, showed total credit

tutions located in 10 states for the
purpose of makingS loans to farmers

On the Road.

No where probably, is there any
thing more interesting than people,
and wherever there are people there is
interest, entertainment and instruc-
ton III observing and studying them.
1t is not proposed to even try to
cover a large part Of the subject OF
people in these comments; because the
subject of people is ineXhaustible and
will ever be so. If that subject should
be exhausted there would be nothing
further of interest to speculate about.
This is merely by way of consider
ing some few of the impressions de-
rived during a trip over the road in an
automobile and meeting or passing
other people in other automobiles.
Did you ever try to form an esti-
mate of the proportion of people you
meet or pass on the road who are sure
enough peOple-fair,' courteous, con-
siderate, helpful? If you have not
paid especial attention to the matter,
do so and you will find that n great
majority come under this description;
but still there are many who do not.
AS you go along the road trying to
be fair and just, giving half the right
of way to everybody you meet, you
will find that four out Of five will treat
you the same way. The fifth will con-
tinue straight ahead on his course, and
will rot give half the road until he Is
convinced that you are not going 70
give him all of it. Then he will sud-
denly swervc aside.
or course it nettlcs fair man to be
forced to give way TO u road hog; but
n fair man is also usually man OF
good sense and he is apt to give all The

chance of collision. lie feels provok-
cd he might even he willing to fight
little: but then he cannot see where he
is helping himself by smashing up the
hogs car and throwing the hog out, if
his own car has TO be smashed also
and he also must be thrown out.
Stop your car on The side of the
road with nothing the matter. Get out
and wait. One out of three people viii
check up to know whether he can be
of service. let the people find you fix
ing a puncturc OF looking after engine
trouble and the proportion who Will
stop will be much larger. If you iinG

The all-important problem with cN-
cry forward looking farmer and busl-
ness man is how to handle the sltua-
tion now that the boil wccvil has
come. That we have got 10 &c
through n readjustment is too clear, to
admit of argument. 1t ought TO be
equally clear that every class OF peo-
pie is concerned in this readjustment
If the business of this country is not
absolutely bound to agriculture 1t is
almost so bound. The production and
consumption of the farmers affects all
other business and industry; but upon
the farmers mainly will depend the
solution of the problem. He cannot
depend upon the capitalist whether
merchant or barker, as ne has been
doing. The merchant and banker VIII
not take the risks they have been TAX
ing, and neither will the farmer
who has accumulated capital. The
thing now is diversified production,
and especially nocks and herds, with
no more cotton than can be looked aft
cr, and not enough to mean disaster
if it goes to complete loss. The out
look ahead is not hopeless, not even
but it will demand bet
ter management. That is certain.

The Japanese nation was thrown
into a state OF CONSERVATION last Fri
day through the assassination OF
Takashi Hara, the premier, who was
killed at the railway station of Tokyo,
as he was preparing to take a train
for KiotO. The assassin was a youth
of 19, named Rycohi Nakoko, employ
ed as a sWitchman at the railway sta
ton. He used n short sword and as
he struck denounced his victim as
You traitor" The premier was being
guarded by the japanese chief of de-
tectives, who tried to defend him but
was too late. He succeeded in arrest
ing the assassin but was badly cut
about the hands in doing so. 1t is
commonly believed that the assassina-
ton was of very great political signi-
ficance: but the full extent of 1t is
not understood in this country. For
one thing the slain premier was known
TO be very friendly TO the idea of COM
ing to an understanding with America
as to disarmament, but it is known that
many Japanese are opposed to such
an arrangement. believing that II
means the checking of Japanese am
bitioa and the subordination of Jap
anese destiny to American domination;
but there are those who claim that the
majority of the Japanese are friendly
to America Rykohi Nakoka is
grandson of n noted japanese leader
of the same name who is credited with
having played an important part in
restoring to the Mikado power that
had been in the hands OF Tokugawa

PINK HueeINs MURDERED

Pink Huggins, white, aged SO, was
murdered on the old Charlotte road
about two miles northeast of York

through his breast and another
through his shoulder. An automatic
pistol of 25 calibre, known to have
been the property OF Huggins was

Corkle yesterday morning, Huggins
was called from his home Sunday
night about 10 o'clock by a party un-
known to her.
He told his wife, according to her
story, that he would be gone only a
short time. She saw him. no more un-
til yesterdays morning when his dead
body was discovered.
rhe coroner's jury Of inquest short
ly after 1 o'clock yesterday returned a
verdict to the effect that the deceased
came to his death from pistol wound
at the hands of Albert Zimmerman.
Huggins's wife has not been ar
rested although officers believe that
they can connect her with a guilty
| knowledge of the crime.

man was at the Huggins home or
Thursday night and again Sunday
night Mrs. Higgins denies that Zim-
norman was there Sunday night al
Though she admits he was there Thurs

Among the outstanding puzzles that
have fascinated mankind since the days
of Adam are the secret of perpetual
motion, the transmutation of baser met
ais into gold the navigation of the air,
and how TO make people bear the bur

their ability to pay taxes. The secret
Of the navigation of the air has been
overcome, but as yet the best efforts
of the worlds most devoted crusaders
have not yet been able to make a dent
in any of the other problems. Senator

Requirements az to how each state
shall select its Federal aid roads con-
stitute the principal new feature OF
the Federal highway act, enactment oil
which has just been completed as dif-
ferentiating from the Federal aid act
of 1916. according to an analysis of the
bill by the Federal farm bureau fed
Grafton. To secure part or all OF It's
allotment of the $75,0OO,O00 Of Federal
funds appropriated for road construc-
ton for the remainder of the fiscal
year, a state must select n connected
road system not exceeding per cent
of its entire road mileage for improHe-
merit with Federal aid. This system
is to be divided in two classes OF
roads, one consisting OF interstate
roads, which shall not exceed three
sevenths of the system selected and
upon which not more than 60 per cent
Of the states allotment can be eX-
pended without the joint approval OF
the secretary of agriculture as admin
istrator Of the act, and the state high
way department. The other class, con-
sistirg of inter- county roads, will com
pose the balance of the system and re-
ceive the remainder of the allotment.
The amount of Federal aid received
on any project, however, is not TO ex-
ceed fifty per cent of the estimated
cost, except i'm states where more than
per cent of the area is inappropriate
ed public lands, this latter provision
increasing The percentage in ten
states, ranging up TO II per cent for
Utah. Where any state fails TO prop
erly maintain a Federal aid highway
the secretary Of agriculture after nine
ty days notice will maintain it out OF
the states allotment and refuse ap-
proval of new projects until reim-
bursement is made by the state. AS in
the preceding bill, the Federal fund is
apportioned among the states by di-
vision into three parts, one apportioned
on basis of population, one basis
of area ard the other according 10
