Cullford Road Bill Enacted.
The Guilford county good roads bond
bill completed its legislative course in
regular order last week and it only
lacks the ratification of the voters of
the county to make its provisions eflec-ive.
The Good Roads Club will go be-fore
the county commissioners at their
next regular meeting. Monday, March
2d, and ask them to tall an election
under the provisions of the bill. The
date of election to be recommended by
the club will be Thursday, April 2d,
which allows for the statutory thirty
days' notice required in such a pro-ceedure.
It might be added that the
question of a new registration has not
been definitely determined as yet, but
will lie before the matter is brought to
the attention of the board. %
The people of Guilford will soon be
called upon to pass upon the road ques-tion
in a manner that admits of no
evasion. We shall either have to vole
the bond issue or continue the unsatis-factory
system now in_ vogue, thus
postponing indefinitely a realization of
the blessings that are certain to follow-good
roads. Objections to the measure
from a financial standpoint have no
I weight whatever, as no increase of
i taxes will be required to carry out the
| provisions of the bill. A sentimental
| objection to a bond issue, on the ground
that it saddles a debt on the coming
generation, counts for naught in the
light of experience, which has proven

At a meeting of the College commit-tee
of the Methodist Protestant confer-ence

of location of the new college which the

matter of a site was left to a sub-com-mittee
which'will examine the various

details will be given next week.
Dr. Burbank Attempts Suicide.
Temporarily cra/.ed from the effects
of morphine, Dr. W. F. Burbank, an
opthalmist of this city, attempted to
commit suicide iu his room at the Mc-
Adoo House Sunday afternoou by cut-ting
himself with a razor. He inflicted
a wound on his left wrist which bleed
freely, but which is not considered
fatal. After inflicting the wound, Dr.
Burbank lay down on his bed to bleed
to death, but was discovered in a few
minutes by a bell boy, who called
Chief Clerk John A. Tucker. Mr.
Tucker went immediately to the
wounded man and sent for Chief of
Police Scott and Dr. Edmund Harrison.
After stopping the flow of blood aikd
administering restoratives, Dr. Harri-son
said to the wounded man: "Doctor,"
you did not use the r.iabr at the right
place if you wished to kill yourself."
"I know I did not," replied Dr. Bur-bank.

MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have not been as large as
they were for the previous weeks, owiug
to the harsh weather which we had,
preventing farmers from marketing
their tobacco. Prices showed a little
more animation and we consider all
grades of tobacco a little better than
they were for the previous week—we
would say from 2.5 cents to $1.00 per
hundred better. There is more life
and activity in the sales and our buyers
seem to be more anxious for tobacco
than they have been. The quality of
the offerings was about the same as for
previous weeks except on the first of
the week, when they were poorer than
they have been for some time. All
grades of desirable tobacco are in active
demand and we consider this a good
time for farmers to put their tobacco ou
the market, as the inclination of prices
seems to be downward whenever we
have a good season. Rockingham
wrappers and fillers were iu active de-maud
and sold well whenever they
were fouud.
Mr. D. A. Montgomery made fair
sales on this market Thursday.
Mr. J. A. Groomcwas on the market

I abreast of the times in the matter of
public improvements. Other coun-ties
in North Carolina which have
| passed through this same stage furnish
ample evidence of the fact that people
I who have been loudest in their protesta-tions
against public improvements,
and especially road improvement, have
since become the staunehest cham-pions
and endorsers of like progressive
movements. As we have said before,
Ihe county has everything to gain and
nothing to lose by adopting the plan
submitted by the Good I toads Club,
i which IB declared sound and practical
by the best business men in the county.
Surely our country friends will not
stand iu their own light by opposing
the measure, which i* designed pri-marily
to improve conditions through-out
the county. The first benefits will
be theirs. Practically every dollar of
i the $300,000 that it is proposed tos|iend
on road work will be expended within
the borders of the county, as it is fair
to presume that the gilt edged bonds
i that would|be issued would command
sufficient piemiuni to buy the road
making equipment. And every dollar!
involved will be outside capital brought
here and added to the circulating me-dium
of the county, giving an impetus
'to business that will be Celt for years. I
The matter appeals to the common
good of the county and we want to see
it acted upon iu a manner that is be-coming
to the people of the most pro-gressive
county in the state. In these
days standing still is really retrogres-
