ROAD CONTRACTS
Bids for Construction Of Hoffman
R'ham Dirt Road, and Hamlet-Rham
Hard Surface Road, Advertised.
Same Will Be Opened June 18th at
Raleigh.

As can be seen elsewhere in
the PosT.DIsPATCH, the State
Highway Commission is adver-
tising for bids for the construc-
ton of the dirt road known as
Project No. Gel, from Rocking.
ham to a point near Marston; and
for the hard surface road from
Hamlet to Rockingham, known
as Project No. 665. The bids will
be received at the Raleigh office
until 10 o'clock of June 18th. A
study of the advertisements inthis
issue will give an idea as to the
amount of grading and other
work to be done on these two
roads.
The Rockingham-H Hoffman road
is 9.76 miles long. There will be
$500 cubic yards of common ex.
cavation, and 25,750 cubic yards
of topsoil, sand-clay or gravel
This road starts at the town limit,
at the end of North Washington
street at the Fair Grounds and
runs east towards Hoffman, com
ing into the Hamlet Hoffman road
near Marston.
The Hamlet Rockingham road
is SIT miles, and runs from the
Methodist church at Rocking
ham, to the railroad track in
Hamlet, and this road is to be ot
concrete-hard surfaced. The
work will consist of 1890 cubic
yards of common excavation.
And so our readers now have
1.-THE satisfaction of knowing tina
these two long desired roads art
to soon be a reality-that actua
work will soon be begun on them

The Cyclone Mack Revival.

Cyclone Mack" was in Rock
ingham Tuesday for an hour, and
went that night to Atlanta to
personally see about his new
tent. The delivery of this new
tent is what is holding up the re-
vival that was scheduled to start
here the 10Th. 1t is possible the
tent may arrive in time to start
next Monday, but doubtful. 1t
is scarcely likely the meeting
can actually begin before thelast
of next week. Definite announce
ment will be made in a day or so
through the daily papers.
In the meantime, the seats, etc.
have come, and carpentry force
is now busy getting the lot in
shape. The tent will be placed
on the large lot to the rear of the
residence of Hal S. Ledbetter,
fronting South Washington St.
That was the only vacant plot OF
ground that was found to be
large enough to contain the huge
tent.

Condemnation Proceedings.

Condemnation proceedings were
this week started by the town of
Rockingham against E. Bryant Lit
tie. A hearing will be had next
Monday to assess the price the town
shall pay for the brick building
that stands in the way of extending
New street southwark. The building
is 40x90. The condemnation board
consists of DR.. L. d. McPhail, E. B.
Lilies and E. d. Whitlock. This
board will view the grounds at 8
o'clock next Monday morning and
at s o'clock Monday night they will
hear evidence in the court house.
The town wishes to extend New
street, then build another new
street to be named Court street, just
south of the Jail, to connect Han
cock and New street, extended.
These streets will be paved and
make solid paved square sur
round the new court house that is
being built on the Jail lot.

New Buildings.

In addition to the new brick build.
ing that A. w. Porter is rapidly put
ting up on New street, there is now
to be still another building put up.
E. B. Morse will begin work within
the next month on three-story
brick structure 40x90 feet, adjoining
the new Porter building on New
street, and just north of it. There
will be space of four feet between
the proposed new Morse building
and the southern end of the Watson
building.
Mr.. Morse will have the first floor
for a store, the second for office pur-
poses and the third probably for a
lodge room.
The Morse and Porter buildings
are being built four feet back from
the pavement line, and consequently
four feet out of line with the other
buildings on that side of New street.
The idea of this is to eventually
have New street widened, and even
four feet will make big difference
on this rapidly developing business
thoroughfare.
With the erection of these two
new buildings there remains emily
a space of 70 feet frontage on that
side of the street; this 73-foot corner
lot is owned by the Stephenson
Belk firm and is directly opposite
the new court house site.

HOMICIDE SUNDAY
John W. MeGee Shot and Instantly
Killed Sunday Morning Near Osborne
by Mrs. Branson Milliken.

7 Coroner A. M. Smith was summon
ed to the home of Branson Millikin,
white, between Osborne and Ham
let, Sunday about noon to hold an
inquest over the remains of John w.
MCGEE. He found the body of the
man lying partly in the door of the
Millikin home, with a gun-shot
wound through the heart; his hand
was outstretched and lying open
over a brick.
The coroner empannelled jury
consisting of r. A. Kendall, D. F..
Morgan, Charlie Langley, ]. T.
Smith, James Smith and w. E. Cha
Wis. These men heard several wit
nesses and rendered a verdict that
the deceased came to his death at
the hands of Mrs. Branson Millikin." "
The story told by Mrs. Millikin
in substance is as follows: She said
she was in tn stove room washing
her face about 10 o'clock Sunday
morning when the man, John Nc
Gee, appeared at the door cursing
and with a brick in his hand, and
suggested to her that she go to the
branch with him. She refused and
ordered him out. Instead, he start
ed through the door; she grabbed a
gun and fired, the .load entering his
heart and causing instant death.
This is Mrs. Millikin's version and

Fourth at Ellerbe Springs.

Plans are rounding into shape
for the celebration of the Fourth
of July at Ellerbe Springs. Chief
and foremost will be the basket
picnic dinner that the folks are
expected to bring and enjoy to-
gether. Then the fact that Gov.
Morrison will make a speech will
be another drawing card. Ellerbe
and another team will play ball
in the afternoon. The authorities
at Pope Field have been written
to for an airplane, and it is pos
sible one may be secured to fly

Uncertainty still exists as to
whether Mr.. G. H. Russell will
call for a second primary for Sol
icitor. In the primary June 3rd,
Don Phillips led with about 1900
votes, Mr.. Russell second with
about 4200, Nash third with 800
and Tarlton fourth with 140O.
This would put Phillips and Rus
sell in a second primary that
would be held July lst, MIR.
Russell has the right to call for a
second primary, but it is not
known as yet whether he will
make another try or not.

MOoNsHINER ARRESTED AND
SENTENCED

Anton Darson, Hazelton, N. D.,
was arrested Saturday of last week
charged with manufacturing moon
shine. He was taken before Judge
McKenna, pleaded guilty and was
given ninety days in Jail and fine
of 5000. Failure to pay the fine will
cause the prisoner to be kept in Jail
for an additional fifty days. States
Attorney, Coventry, Sheriff Ed Miller
and Federal authorities cooperated in
the case.
The. arrest Of Darson is the start
of crusade which is expected to re-
suit in wholesale arrests, evidence
having been secured against a num-
Der who have been trafficking in the
contrabrand. Operatives tell of one
place which they raided where two
large kettles of mash was cooking.
The officials at first thought that
barley and raisins were being used,
but examination proved that the dope
was just loaded with dead flies.
Judge McKenna, who was on his
way to the Black Hills for short
visit was at Hazelton and received
Darson's plea Of guilty, and ad-
ministered the penalty. The Federal
officers have been working in the
county for more than week and
have secured evidence in several in
stances. AS soon as Judge McKenna
returns from his trip, the violatorf
Of the law will be brought before the
court to plead.

PETITION FOR ROAD AMEND
# MENT FILED
Come Into Secretary of States
Office From Various "a
Counties

Petitions containing thousands Of
names were received at the Secretary
of>State,s office Saturday requesting
that the voters of the state be given
the opportunity of expressing them
selves on the proposal for. a good
roads amendment to the constitution
and two initiated laws advocated by
the North Dakota Good Roads Asso-
citation.
The amendment fostered by the as
sociation provides for the creation
Of system of county seat to county
seat roads, but does not provide any
state bond issue. One law provides
for a highway commission to consist
of three members, one from each
congressional district appointed by the
Governor with the consent Of the SEN
ate and the second law provides for
regulation of auto licenses and crea-
ton Of a state highway fund from
the license fund. 81.
Petitions came from many cities,
being mailed in by individuals who
circulated them and others are ex-
pected to add to the total.
Petitions for a vote on constitu-
tional amendments making the term
Of office of railroad commissioners six
years and supreme court judges ten
years will not be filed, according to
word to Maurice Duffy, deputy secre-
tary Of state. who fostered the latter
nropcsal. Attempt to get sufficient
signatures was dropped by the COM
mittee, it was said.
