Raleigh, Aug. -15.-Although
State highway construction has
been and is yet being seriously
interfe1red with by the lack Of
transportation facilities, due to
the railroad situation, the plans
for continuing the work are go
ing ahead.
TWenty-niAe projects schedul-
ed for letting August 80, with an
aggregate mileage Of 1862 miles
will bring the years letting Of
roads by the State Highway
Commission to 1,114,25 miles, or
more than a hundred miles be-
yond the 600 miles in 1922
program, and the total obligation
for new construction for the year
to more than -22,O0O,0O0.
Three projects included on the
list reove the last unbuilt sec
tions Of the Central Highway
from Smithfield to Salisbury, a
distance Of ITO miles continuous
paving. The Thomasville Lex
ington link, the Hillsboro-Meb-
ane link, and the bridge over. the
1adkin River between Licking
ton and Salisbury are the most
important projects.
With the award Of contracts at
the end of the month, the COM
mission will have achieved more
than hundred miles beyond the
mark set in February for twelve
months, and will have set up a
record that is without parallel In
the records Of road building III
America. Since January l, con-
tracts will have been let for
568.31 miles Of hard-surface road
and 1854 miles Of gravel.
Take Advantage of Time
The August letting will be the
final big letting for the year, and
thereafter the commission Will
focus attention on construction
now temporarily held up on ac-
count Of strike conditions. Chair
man Page has pushed the work Of
getting roads under contract 1n
anticipating of more widespread
demand for contractors when
other states get their road pro-
grams underway next spring.
Altogether, the road program
|! outlined in 1919 is now approx
imately half done. Slightly
more than 2,7OO miles Of new
roads have been built, or are un-
der construction, or under con
tract. In addition to this mil
cage, the system includes many
hundreds Of miles Of good roads
built by counties before the state
took over the system.
Somewhat Of the tremendous
undertaking the 20 projects Of
fered for August 80 presents may
be gathered from the fact that
that specifications call for the
clearing Of 153 acres Of land, ex-
cavation tota1ing 1894 subic
wards of earth and rock, and
the bridges on the projects will
require 2,328, ITO pounds Of struc-
tural steel. 49, -----:.

HARVEST TIME
NEVER ENDS
South Georgia Hailed As Land
Of Perpetual Agricultural
Harvest

ATLANTA, Oct. 3.-That South
Georgia is coming into better era
is tlas opinion of agriculturalists who
have Just visited that section on the
big farmers excursion Of the A., B.
& A. railroad. He is profiting by
cxpefience-some of it costly expert
encc-and so planning his crops that
all his eggs are not in one basket"
at harvest time.
It is coming to pass, as visitors
on the big excursion perceived, that
harvest time in South Georgia is
pretty much all the time.
For farms in that section are ex-
changing some sort OF produce nor
cash from January to December.
There are three ycar-round money
crops on which the farmer N that
section may count with reasonable
certainty-hogs, milk and poultry.
And all three are handled as side
lines" without interference with the

bacco, peanuts and other crops.
1t has been demonstrated, and is
being made clear on more and more
farms, agriculturists say, that hog
raising is a profit able industry in
South Georgia, and thai by selling
his hogs at different seasons the far
mer not only gets better prices for
his porkers but contribute to the i'm
proyement of market conditions. The
packing houses, it is stated, do not
want all hogs in the winter months,
but prefer to buy them in all months

tions, increases the cost of farning
very slightly, and gives the farmer

The farmers in South Georgia, it
is stated, have exchanged chickens
and eggs for more money this year
than ever before. Prices have held
good the year round, and rarely has
it not been possible to buy fryers,
broilers and hens from the farms.
In all these things, state agrScul-
tural leaders declare, is pleasing as

farmers Of South Georgia has dawn,

to reports received here, A site of
more than 100 acres near Ben Hill,
a few miles from Atlanta, has al
ready been secured by the juvenile
association and buildings will
erected as soon as funds are raised.
One hundred thousand dollars is the
amount needed for the big under
taking which the association has
launched and this will be raised by
popular subscription throughout the
South, in which the Juvenile Protec-
tive association, in its other lines,
conducted child welfare work.
The Republic, which wilt bring
boys from every part of the South.

institution Of the most valuable kind.
It viii be modelled after the George

PETERS is ONE
OF THE POPULAR
IDOLS OF SCREEN

If someone offered to present
/ House Peters with all the glolfes of
Solomon, and then let the star draw
up the list of desired glories it prob
ably would read like this:
A Good Home-Good Books
Good Shows-Good Sleep.
For many years he has been one
of the beloved figures of the screen,
q man admired by thousands. Yet, he
has always been willing to sacrifice
a portion of this popularity by play
ing a role that would not gain the
sympathy of the public, thankless
task, portrayed for arts sake alone.
Peters work in "The Storm" at
the Rylander Tuesday and Wednes-
day, the pictUrized version of Lang
don McCormick's great stage success,
IS something to marvel at. He por-
trays the role of primitive woodsman,
who loves his fellow men, loves Ma
turc and believes God is good. His
only fear is women.
Peters has played innumerable fine
roles and in each his success was ar
tistic rather than of the box-office
type. Quietly, steadily, without grand
Eloquent press-agentry he has gained
a following that will be his forever,
a following that any star might envy.
People do not say Of House Peters
''Do you remember how wonderful
he was in such and such a picture?"
Instead they say:
"Oh, House Peters is the star. He
is always good, 1 don't know what
picture | like his work in best"
