Local Delegation Recommends
Farm To Market Road Network
Better Highways For Tabor Area
,Anpear Nearer Realization

Tabor City's dream of farm-to-
market network of roads today ap-
peared a step nearer realization.
Strongly endorsing the farm-to-
market road program, Governor R,
Gregg Cherry told a Tabor City
delegation Tuesday that construction
would be accelerated as soon as en-
gineers and materials became more
readily available.
The states chief executive granted
a conference to the delegation in his
offices in Raleigh and assured the
group of his sympathy for the farm
ers whose roads have been delayed
by the war and its subsequent con-
ditions.
The general need for new roads
and improvements in the Tabor
City area was discussed with the
governor by Mayor J. M. McGougan,
R. c. HARRISON, B. A. Garrell, E. w.
Fonville, R. B. Mallard, Percy Brown
and willard G. Cole, all of whom
represented the Tabor City Nicer
hants Association which recently in
itiated a move to investigate the
possibilities OF immediate construc-
ton.
Facts and figures about the Tabor
City markets on farm products were
presented to Governor Cherry, it be-
ing pointed out that the huge VOL
ume of sales here merited the fullest
consideration by the State Highway
and Public Works Commission.
The governor emphasized that sur
,eys must be made and that suffic-
lest personnel was only now oegn-
ming 10 become available for the
huge task that faces the state in its
highway program.
The delegation reported that the
most cordial relations prevailed and
expressed the belief that the next
few years would. see Tabor City's
needs approaching realization.
Earlier the delegation had con-
ferred with James Albert Bridger,
district highway commissioner, at
Bladenboro with reference to the
status of road projects in this vicin-
ity. Mr.. Bridger assured hte group
that everything possible WOULD be
done to facilitate construction work.

Merchants Will
Crack Down On
Swindle Schemes

A move to crack down on swindle
schemes and uncontrolled solicitation
of Tabor City business men for du-
bious purposes was taken yesterday
bv the Tabor City Merchants Asso-
citation.
S. P. Smith, president of the or
ganization, issued an appeal to men,
bers to refrain from participation in
such unauthorized solicitation I'M
less the proposal or purpose had
been approved by the merchants as
ISOLATION. -.
Along with this appeal, Mr.. Smith
ANNOUNCED that an advertising COM
mittee to deal with the matter had
been appointed. Members named were
w. B. Webster, chairman, Oliver
Prince and B. A. Carroll.
In connection with this matter,
Mr.. Smith asked the membership to
refer solicitors of donations and
outside advertising, and promoters to
the office of the executive secretary
of the association. From there the
question of deciding on the merits
of the proposition will be placed in
the hands of the advertising COM
mittee.
It is estimated that hundreds of
dollars are mulcted from Tabor City
businesses and individuals by I'M
scrupulous persons who are working
for their own selfish benefit.
As part ct this program Of, pro-
lection, Mr.. Smith announced that a
tie-up to smash check forgers and
shoplifters had been completed. The
presence Of a check forger or shop
litter in town should be reported I'M
mediately to the executive secretary's
office where word will be flashed
through a circuit Of towns and cities
which includes Wilmington, Colds
boro, Whiteville, Kinston, Fairmont.
Lumberton, Fayetteville and Wallace.
while the association does not
want to become detective agency,
we feel that close cooperation will
save money for all Of u.s." Mr.. Smith
said.

pointment of a finance committee of
the merchants association to pass on
all purchases and handle pledge pay
ments along with regular audits of
the organizations financial records.

Good Quality Tobacco
G.~
Hghights First Day

Spirited bidding and high quality
offerings yesterday morning sent the
Tabor City tobacco market into the
1916 season with an average OF
s59.91 midway in the first sale.
From the first pile on down the
line, growers of this section saw
their crop bringing the highest re-
turns in many years. There were
few reflections.
Sales totalled upwards of 100000
pounds.
The price ranged from l8 cents
for lower grades to II cents for the
better grades.

Most important. probably, Is the
fact that former Army and Navy
officer will not have much choice in
the matter. Whether he likes 1t or
not, his friends and neighbors usu-
ally will persist in calling him by
his military title. as friends and
neighbors have done after every
war in which this country has been
involved.
Brig. Gen. Edward A. Evans, exec
utive director of the Reserve Army
Officers Association, pointed this up
when he said, Every one from a
captain up is bound to be called by
his title, especially in small commu-
mites. It's in the American tradi-
tion."
Brig. Gen. Albert Cox, head of the
District National Guard. had this
to say:
These men have won their titles
in the war and should be known by
them There was a period when
Governors of the States named
many officers to their personal staffs
with imposing titles, but we have
done away with that. Even, the
Kentucky Governors of late have
laid off making colonels for pub
licity purposes. Certainly there Is
no rule against officers of the Ma
tional Guard being known by their
titles. They can't help it. anyway"

Macarthur Proposes
Addition Of I More
To Allies Council
BY the As,oeioted Trsss

TOKYO, Aug. 13.-Gen. Mac
Arthur, Vho originally opposed the
Allied Council for Japan, today
suggested the informal and un-
official" addition of seven more
members.
The American member, George c.
Atcheson, jr., who delivered Gen.
MacArthur's proposal, said 1t would
increase the effectiveness of the
council"
But the first reaction was caution
and the British Chinese and Rus
sian members said they would have
to consult their governments.
Council observers offered these
expressions:
l. Gen. Macarthur wishes by in
clusion of seven more members to
throw the council into such con-
fusion it will become even more i'm
potent than currently. In four
months it has accomplished nothing
concrete.
2. Gen. Macarthur wishes to
parallel the policy outlined by
Secretary of State Byrnes in Paris
giving smaller nations a voice in
postwar affairs of defeated coun-
tries.
3. Gen. Macarthur foresees, in the
unlikely event that the seven are
accepted, the development of an
increased bloc against the Russian
member, who has been accused by
Mr.. Atcheson of using the council
as a propaganda instrument.
1t is highly doubtful the Soviets
could find an ally in any of the
seven Gen. Macarthur would like
to invite to the council-Canada
the Netherlands, Australia, France
the Philippines. India and New
Zealand.
Calling the meeting to order, Mr.
Atcheson said its purpose was to
outline procedure which would
place the council on a business
like basis and in general improve
the work of the council"
After considerable discussion, the
procedural topic was carried ovel
TO August 2l.

Custom Defies Mr. LittIejohn
In Civilian Use of Officer Titles

An old American custom is re-
sulting in a lot of military titles
being carried over into civilian life,
despite Robert M. Littlejohn, War
Assets Administrator.
1t was Mr.. Littlejohn who recently
directed that every one in his agency
be called simply mister" no matter
what rank he may have held during
the recent war. Mr.. Littlejohn
made it clear the rule applies even
to himself, although he is major
general in the Regular Army, still
on terminal leave.
A war Assets Department regu-
lation, No. 600-10, DEGREES: Off
GERS will not use or permit to be
used their military titles in con-
nection with commercial enter
prises of any kind"
A War Department spokesman
said, however, good usage" ap-
proves the use of the military title
by the officer who has returned to
civilian life, provided it is not used
for commercial purpose.
The Navy has no such rule, but a
Navy spokesman pointed out that
In the Navy or out, officers through
the rank of lieutenant commander
are addressed as Mister" Only
commanders. captains. commodores
and admirals are called by their
rank.
