BOND ISSUE IN
HEREFORD COUNTY

Chapel Hill, N. c., Aug. 2O.-In
spite Of the financial depression and
low prices of cotton, tobacco and
peanuts, one Of the purely agricul-
tural counties of the Chowan region
has haG the courage to vote a half
million dollar bond issue with which
to Dunid a county system of re ads.
Miss Berry, secretary of the North
Carolira Good Roads Association,
has just received word from County
Road superintendent Hines who
wires that the bond issue in Hert-
ford County carried four 70 cpe.
Miss Berry is very much pleased
over this as she made three trips to
the county and sent circular letters
to the people in behalf of this bond
issue. She is also extremely graft
fed because it will probably mean
that other counties in this section,
which hitherto have taken little or
no interest in road work, will join in
the march of progress.
