The loud speaker and the radio
have almost destroyed the quality
of the human voice generally.
They have been fearfully cruel to
the female voice in particular.
They have inspired women to feel
that as soon as they get into the

they must pitch their voices to a
high &C" and holler desperately.

them have their origin in matters over
which the commission has no COR
troll, or which date back long before
the present chairman and commits
sion took office. These also agree that
a good deal of the opposition is due
to the plan on which the commission
is now organized and the abolition of
the district representation on the com
mission in 1881.
Improvement Too Slow.
One of the principal grievances a.
gainst the commission is that it is
not improving the roads fast enough
and that it has been too slow in re-
pairing roads which have gone to
pieces. The present highway commits
sion is not to blame for this condi-
ton, however. The real causes are the
depression, the 1888 General Assem-
bly,, which decreed that highway ex-
penditures should be held within the
appropriations instead of the highway
revenue collected, and the weather,
those who know the facts agree.
Ever since the start of the depres-
sion, the highway department has
been faced with the necessity Of
greatly curtailing its maintenance and
betterment program in the face Of
greatly increased demands for main
tenance, due to be more rapid wear
ing out of roads and the need for
new surfacing of the light traffic sur
face treated roads. At the same time
there has been a steady increase in
the demand for new construction and
for the surfacing of secondary roads.
Yet the 1881 General Assembly great
ly curtailed the appropriation for
maintenance and refused to approp-
riate anything for new construction.
The 1888 General Assembly was even
more iittery, and, accepting the pes
simistic predictions of Assistant Bud

In The Sir Walter Hotel.
Nv i G. RASZ ERXII.L
BY j. C..

Raleigh, Aug. 13-Cape Hatteras
lighthouse, tallest lighthouse on the
American coast until it's recent,
abandonment, may yet become the
property of the State of North Caro-
lima as a feature of the State Park
of the same name by which it is sur
rounded, r. Bruce Etheridge, direc-
tor of the Department of Conserva-
ton and Development, said today.
Mr.. Etheridge said that his depart
ment has been carrying on negotia-
tons with the U. S. Lighthouse Ser
vice for several years in order to
obtain the lofty shaft as an added
attraction for Cape Hatteras State
Park, but that legal limitations on
the disposal of the property have
blocked the transfer.
Representative Lindsay Warren
has notified Mr.. Etheridge of his in
tention to introduce a bill at the next
session of Congress to authorize the
transfer of the lighthouse to the
State. A new tower to replace the
abandoned structure has been erect
ed farther inland on the "banks" and
the old shaft is understood to be of
no further service.
Cape Hatteras lighthouse with IFS
barber-pole stripes is one of the most
familiar light beacons on the coast
Construction of the ligh house was
started in 1867 and the light was
brought into service in 1870. a nre-
vious lighthouse had occupied q
nearby site since 1897.

Wilmington and then back into Samp
son county before his return, Chair
man Bagley said. He vii; confer
with groups in BERTHE and Sampson
counties believed to be interested in
forming local cooperative organika
tions for the building of rural electric
lines, it was indicated.
While much of Currituck county
has already been electrified as re-
suit of the building of rural lines by
the Virginia Electric and Power
Company, none of these lines has as
yet reached Knots Island, which has
a population of about $50 people. If
enough of these people want electri-
city to sign up for it, it is believed
that the VEP Company will build
a line down from Princess Anne
county, Virginia. Mr.. Granger will
make a survey of all the families on
the island in an effort to find out
what they want
The problem of getting electric
lines over onto Harkers Island, up
the sound from Beaufort, is more
complicated, since it would be neces-
sary to carry the lines over about Two
miles of open water, as there is no
bridge to this island. The people on
this island will be consulted to see if
they would rather form a coopera-
tive and set up a small power plant
on the island, or whether they want
to try to negotiate with the Tidewater
Power Company, with headquarters
in Wilmington, to Sc. If it IS inter-
ested in building lines over to the is

get Director Henry Burke, cut the
appropriation for highway mainten-
ance almost in half and put the high
way department on starvation rations
for two years.
Maintenance Neglected.
This meant that maintenance had
to be neglected that roads that need
ed to be repaired or resurfaced had
to go without any attention, that only
the most necessary maintenance work
could be done while mile after mile
of roadway wore out or broke up for
lack of funds to patch it or maintain
1t. 1t also meant that delegation after
delegation wanting new surfacing or
new roads had to be turned away
empty handed
Raid on Surplus.
To make the situation worse, con-
ditions started to improve about the
time the 1888 legislature adjourned,
so that the highway revenue started
coming in faster than between 1881
and 1888. But because expenditures
were limited by the appropriations
act, none of this additional money
could be spent. 1t was hard for the
average citizen to understand this and
the majority could not see why with
highway revenue piling month after
month, they could not get any roads
repaired or new roads built. They got
madden and madden about it.
Then the 1885 General Assembly
came along and the big highway sur
plus became a grab bag into which
the counties, the schools and many
other agencies sought to thrust their
fists and bring out funds for other
purposes. Some Al counties wanted
$8,00O,O00 of it with which to pay off
county road bonds. Others wanted it
distributed back to the counties to be
used for any purpose the county COM
missiOners might desire. The schools
wanted about 100000 a year of it,
But the highway forces finally de-
feated all these many efforts at diver
sion on the grounds that it was need
ed to do work on the roads that was
not and could not be done the two
years previous.
This made the A counties mad and
the others who wanted a slice of the
surplus for other things. Then this
last winter came along and did some
100000 worth OF additional damage
to the roads and the weather remain
ed so bad that it was months before
the highway department could start
repair work. Then, when it was start
ed, the engineers found that the base
of many miles of roads had to be re-
built before the surfacing could be
put down, or they would go to pieces

Yet the figures for North Carolina
alone indicate a gain of 34.6 per cent
in retail sales in July this year as
compared with the same seven
months last year, based on the re-
ports from North Carolina stores
throughout this entire period. The
gain in cumulative retail sales for
the same seven months in 1885 over
1884 was only 3.3 per cent as COM
pared with this years gain of 1879 per

as follows: Virginia, 1870 West

South Carolina 1852.
