surod more than a year ago that
# it would raise the money which
was required by the Highway
Commission for the construction
of this bridge that immediate
construction would be ordered
as soon as the money was on
hand. This money was secured
promptly and the Commissioner
and Commission was advised that
it was on hand and has been ly
ing idle in the banks for a
year or more, yet no request
from the government for per
mission to build the bridge was
made until June 9th this year.
The interests Of many thou
sands Of people and tax payers
are not being served in delaying
this bridge and we feel that
right and justice permits that
everyone interested make an IN
sistent request that this project
be not further delayed, and that
an investigation be asked in Or
der to determine who is respon-
sib]e for the delay and why.
The action Of the Highway
Commissioner and the Highway
mission, in delaying this or
der. to our minds. is the most
autocratic in the history Of Off
cials acts, or failure to act, and
we feel that the time has come
to fight for what is our just due.
We have tried requests and mild
persuasion, and waited with ali
patience for more than year,
the only result being blind
road which leads nowhere, and
! it seems that those tactics have
failed, and that more decisive
and more determined methods
should be used. We realize that
we are in Sthe hands Of the
Phillistines, but we believe that
if our argument and our side
Of the case is put before the full
Highway Commission it will rea-
lie the justice Of it and will
grant our demands, for that is
now what they should be, rather
than requests.
The resolutions passed yester-
day end published by the local
Merchants Association shows the
temper Of the business interests
Of this community and we hope
that the Chamber of Commerce
and County Commissioners OF
Halifax and Northampton Coun-
ties VIII act in the same manner
and that finally a delegation
will be sent from Scotland Neck,
Halifax and Northampton Coun-
ties to appear before the High
way Commission at Raleigh and
insist that this bridge be adver-
tised and let to contract as soon
as humanity possible and thereby
partially rectify glazing injus-
tice to the people Of the large
trritory Of the State which will
be served by this road.
In writing thus we have no de-
sire to overlook, the efforts of
/ Commissioner William A. Hart II
securing the original approval Of
this project by the Highway
Commission. Our committee
gave him full credit, but there il
seems lis interest stopped so fal
as any outward evidence aD-
pears, othex than the letting OF

At first the plunks, squeeks and toots were so constant around the dormitory that Mir. Ridg- ley's finely trained musical ear was set in a state of unmercifully dis tasteful vibration. Some of the boys, partly through sympathy for "C Yer ry;" and largely for their own nerve protection, passed ruling that all amateum musicians practice their in- struments in the bath room or be tub bed for each offense. After several tubbings on the part of some and an advancement of others in the class of professionalism, Mir. Ridgley is again his natural self.

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES

President McMullen returned We'd nesday from trip to Snowflake. He 1 spoke at the Snowflake. academy on Monday evening and at the chapel ex- ercises on Tuesday morning. The principal of the Snowflake academy, Silas l.. Fish, is an alumnus of the Normal and most of the teachers are either graduates or have received training at the Normal. Miss Rich ards, Miss Rogers and Miss Flake, who are teaching at Snowflake, ex- pect to return to the Normal when the work there is over in the spring.
 New students are continuing at the Normal Miss Moran of Deming, N. M., and Joseph Delavigne are two new registrants. The continued increase in enrolment shows that the Normal is popular not only in Arizona, but in number of other states as well.
 President McMullen goes to Hum- boldt and Mayer today or tomorrow. He goes to Phoenix on Monday and Tuesday to attend the state board meeting. At this meeting the board will decide on standard geography text book for the state. The text chosen will be adopted for us in this state.
 On Thursday the Normal boys bask- ct ball team played Holbrook high in Flagstaff. The Normal won with score of 46 to "A. Holbrook had beat en most of the other schools in the northern part of the state so that 1t looks pretty good for the Normal. The game was fast and hard. Holbrook displayed the better skill in shooting baskets, seldom missing shot. They were not quite fast enough though to get many shots.
 The Prescott boys and girls basket ball teams were scheduled to play the Normal tomorrow, but on account of some conflicts in their schedule Pres colt cancelled the games. Instead Williams will play the Normal here tonight at o'clock.
 The Normal girls team played last Friday and Saturday at Holbrook and Winslow respectively, winning both games. At Holbrook the score was 28 to 2, at Winslow 26 to 3, in favor of the Normal. The girls season is over half over and they haven't last game in the northern part of the state. Come on, Flagstaff, we're go- ing to win the championship again.
 Earl H. Nipples concert company gave real snappy entertainment in the auditorium last Monday. An unusually large audience was present which indicates that Flagstaff people show an appreciation of good classi- cal entertainments. The program was filled at frequent intervals with popu- lar pieces that received the applause of all.

SCHOOL NOTES

On Saturday, the boys basket ball team went to Winslow and played the quintet of the high school at that place. Although the Flagstaff boys put up an excellent fight, they were defeated by heavier team, with score of 46 to 16. Though the Wins low boys ran up quite.a score, in the second half, not member of the Emerson squad diminished his efforts to win. The game was very fast one, and much more exciting than the score would indicate.

ASPHALT OIL Being
PUT ON STREETS

The Mexican asphalt oil, or
dered by the city some time ago
is here and is being spread or
the streets. Of the 1900 gal
Ions ordered 10000 have arrived
and have been put down. The
streets that have received the
treatment are Second, West
Main, Orchard and Big Hill av-
enue. Estill avenue, Third street
and the Summit are yet to re-
ceive their share of the oil. On
Second street the oil has been
spread from the Normal campus
to the city limits on the Bocnes-
boro road. Big Hill avenue and
West Main street have been
treated from where the asphalt
ends to the city limits in their
respective directions. All of Or
chard street has aSeen finished.
The city has 400 tons of grave:
which it will use before the
streets are completed. The re
mainder of the oil which is about
COCO gallons, is expected in a
day or two at the latest.
Third and Second streets with
the Summit received treatments
of tarvia last year. The Mexi-
can oil should make these
streets very good. The R. B.
Tyler Company, OF Louisville,
has big oiling truck here which
is putting the oil down in fine
shape. Richmond will have some
of the best streets, and as good
as any town of: its size around,
when these are completed.

BATTLE OF RICHMOND
SO YEARS AGO TODAY

Sixty years ago today, August
Both, 1922, Richmond wa in
great excitement. 1t was tler
Aug. 30th, 1862, and the day
;; that marked the battle of Rich
mond in the Civil War.
Many elder citizens can re-
member t we'll. Gen. Kirby
Smith led a large force of Coa-
federate soldiers through Cum
berland Gap toward Richmond,
His cavalry met that of Met calf's
regiment on Big Hill ard soon
routed them. The Federal sol
diers fled toward their main
body at Richmond, panic strick-
Ell. The Confederate soldiers
continued to advance and met
the Union soldiers at Mt. Zion
church, six miles east of Rich
mohd, where they soon had them
fleeing. Another stand wa;
made in the Richmond cemetery
bit with no better result.
Here General Nelson took
command of the new Union
troops who had little military
experience. General Manson had
been in command previous to the
advent Of Nelson. After the un-
successful stand in the Richmond
cemetery the Yankees fled to-
ward Lexington, making one fin
al stand near the Shelby Irvine
place with the same success as
before.
The fight was running one
all the time. Women and chill
dren of Richmond were ordered
out of the town, Union generals
fearing 4 bombardment. The
green Yankee troops from Indi-
ana and Michigan were no
match for the veteran Confeder-
ates who outnumbered them
slightly. A great many were
killed and many wounded. These
were taken care. of in the Mad
ison Institute, First Christian
church and Mt. Zion church, all
of which were used as hospitals.
This was one Of the few battles
fought in Kentucky The Con-
federates SOON retired to Ten
nessee. leaving the state to the
Union nlen.

Cincinnati, Aug. 3O-Strike of
shopmen IN the Chesaueake anG
Ohio railroad in Cincinnati tre-

Covington and Silver Grove, Ky,
IS reported by officials of the
railroad to have ended. J. A..
Morris, chairman of the Cincin-
natl Operating Committee, said
Tuesday night that authentic re-
ports from Covington ard Silver
Grove showed that II men re-
turned to work late Tuesday.
This is the first break in the
strike which amounts to any
thing" said Mr.. Morris. ''The
men who came back told officials
at the shops that others would
join them in the morning. Just
how many men will return we
TO not know.
Talk of agreements under
which the men would work is abb
surd. for the men are coming
back, asking for jobs and being
received and pitt to work. This
IS rot railroad propaganda, but
plain fact, and those who return
Will have plenty to do"
Railroad officials said that en-
ployment of men has been in
creasing daily, but this is the
first concerted action in the ma
ture Of a return to work on rail
roads which previously had en-
ployed the men.
