State continues to issue bonds
by the millions that Halifax
County will eventually get a
highway throughout its length,
but there is a limit to such
bonds and this County should
get its roads, as others are do
ing. before the money is all eX-
pended. No doubt the reason
other counties have gotten more
construction than this is be-
cause they persisted in getting
what they wanted. This County
would do well to employ the
same tactics. Anything worth
while is worth going after. Mod
ern highways are eminently
worth while and mean much to
the development and progress of
any community or section.

FARM NOTES. FOR
HALIFAX COUNTY
BY w \. DAVIS. County Agent
Wei on, N. c.

On the rolling lands of the up
per end of our county terracing
is badly needed. Lack of terraces
on this land causes loses from
three sources; washing away of
soil, leaching of plant food by
winter rains, and lose of space
occupied by washes and gulIies
through the fields. 1t is impos-
sible to- build up the fertility of
this land without first stopping
these loses by proper terracing.
January and February will be
good times to do this work. If
you are interested in terracing
this office will be glad to give
you assistance.

Halifax County Should
7 axe Notice

The Chairman of the Vance
County Board Of Commissioners
complains that Vance County
has not been getting lbs due in
road construction under the
S65, ,O00,000.00 bond issue for
Highway building. He makes a
comparison of that county with
that of Orange, which has a
population of 1885 and which
has had contracts let to the eX-
tent of 100000, while the
county has a property valuation
of only 15,5O0,000.00.
Such a comparison might
well be made of Halifax county,
with a population of approx
mately $4,000 and a property
valuation of around S40,000,-
10000, with a mileage of road
built under the bond issue in the
county of approximately II
miles.
The argument might be used
that the bridge across the Roam
oke at Edwards Ferry is part
of Halifax County's allotment,
but that would not be qyite fair
for that is part of a general
trunkState highway and should
not be charged to the County, or
the two counties, exclusively.
Under the program Of High
way building each County should
have at least one main trunk
road, a part of the general high
way system, running through
each one which would assure
access to and from the County
at all times to other parts of the
state system, and Halifax has
no such provision.
This is a matter which the
Board of County Commissioners
would do well to look into if they
would serve the interest of the
people of the county and obtain
for them what is their due.
AS we have argued a number
of times before, there should be
a uniform system of distribution
of Highway funds and not leave
such apportionment to the whim
or judgment of the individual.
We have no doubt that if the

ARRANGEMENTS have been made

of of the crop. 1t also makes a

will be a valuable service to our
farmers in weevil control. De-
tails will be given later.

Farmers everywhere are realiz-
ing the value of good seed. Now
is the time to buy seed for 1924
planting. By ordering now you
will not only be able to get the
variety you want but you will
also be able to get The best of the
seed by having first choice. At
planting time the best seed have
been sold.

Truth About The Philippines

New light is thrown upon Cen
eral Woods relations with the
Filipino politicians and upon the
deadlock with the Legislature by !
the special correspondent of The
Times reporting from Manila He
has learned that the Coalitionists
are not so much interested in the
immediate attainment of indie
pendence as in TIE recall Of Gen
eral Wood. On Saturday Manuel
RoXas was al the v hite House
with a delegation to ask that
native Governor General be in
stalled "penoing the concession
of independece. " President Cool
idge listened to charge that in
tolerable conditions had been i'm
posed upon the Filipinos. What
they desired was a return to the
autonomy enjoyed prior to the
coming of General Wood, Never
theless. the President was given
to understand that the opposition
toWo cd lis not of personal ma
ture. " OutN ardly the Coalition
ist leaders are on friendly terms
with HIM. 1t is not so much Leo
nard Wood that the politicians
want to get rid of as an Ameri-
can Governor General. Buff the
Filipinos cannot have one of their
own people to represent the
President and the Congress Of
the United States they would put
up with an American Governor
General who made the tie that
binds as light as Francis Burton
Harrison did.
Yet criticism of him for ac-
quiescing inthe creation of
Council of State may 90 too far
The inclusion of the President
of the Senate and the Speaker of
the House of Representatives
was bound to make trouble for
any Governor General who
might dissent from Secretary
Bakers view that the Jones act
rendered American control of the
autonomous Philippine Govern
ment only nominal. Governor
General Harrison was expected
to make conditions satisfactory
to the Filipinos. We now know
what the result was. The story
was told in Observation-Disclosures re-
port. They did not make sue
cess either materially or polite
ally of the autonomous Govern
ment,
The special correspondent of
The Times says that ''at the
outset of his career as Governor,
General Wood sought to CO.
operate with the Filipino Off
cials and the, Legislature" :"
They did not desire cooperation.
AS a matter of fact, they want
ed him to keep his hands off.
They even went so far as to say
that the Jones act made him only
a tigurehead, Americans in Ma
Mia aver that General Wood be-
gan by overlooking what later
he had to oppose. Time did not
cure the faults of the Legisla-
ture, and he had to take stand
as the representative of the
United States with well-defned
powers.
In their attack upon the
American Governor General
the politicians excited passions
which they cannot now quell.
The result is that conditions
exist that spell danger for the
future of the Filipino people and
the prestige as well as the ma
terial interest of the United
States in the Far East" This is
a very serious matter. 1t calls
for intelligent and resolute ac-
tion by Congress, which should
take the form of amending the
Jones act to define explicitly the
supervision of the United States.

them into his hands, and should be an
adept in handling the throws with his

be handled with two hands when pos
s1ble, however, but in practice the
gloved hand alone should be used a
great deal until he becomes satisfied
that he car handle all throws with his
cleveland should it become necessary
TO do so. When ready to receive
throws, the first baseman should stand
with his heels against the base or With
In two OF three inches of 1t, n face
the fielder handling the ball; his feet
should be as far apart as the width OF
the base and the base should be be-
tween and back of his feet. From this
position he should shift the full width
of the base, in addition to his ull
reach. should 1t become necessary I;
that is. If reaching for a throw to the
left of the base, he should keep his
right foot on the base at the point near
est to the place that he expects to han
die the thrown ball. If reaching TO the
right, the left foot should be on the
base at the nearest point. Do not
cross the feet by placing them opposite
TO the way described.
Reach with the arms and stride to-
ward thrower when possible, in order
to receive the throw sooner, particular
ly on close plays. Receive throw with
the foot on the base and move into dia-
mond ready to throw to another base
# necessary as soon as possible after
the play IS completed at first base.
This will often save being run into or
stepped on, and you should be in shape
to watch any other b-ase-runner. Do
not receive the throw and then touch
the base, because ii causes the loss of
considerable time. Reach and stride
toward the thrOWer on pickups and
short throws. This should be practiced
deliberately. Keep the body in front
of low-thrown balls when possible, in
order to block the ball If pnablNto
handle 1t.
Practice taking throws from the
pitcher and touching the base-runner.
Do not touch the b~ase-runners too hard.
Take the throw from the pitcher and
hold the ball between the base and the
runner ut point near to base and where
the runner is expected to slide back.
Do not allow the runner a chance to
avoid you by trying to touch him too
far from the base.
In fielding, the first baseman should
as much ground as he can and
still be able to cover the base to take
throws. Practice and work with your
pitcher so that the pitcher can be de-
pended upon to cover the base if you
have it to field. Practice pitching or
tossing the ball to the pitcher covering,
about M stride before he reaches the
base and about the height of his head.
