PLEASANT GARDEN HIGHWAY.
MATTER DETERMINED HERE
At Joint Session County Commissioners and County
High Commission Decide to Hard Surface Spur Con-nection
and Topsoil Two Miles of Old Pleasant Gar-den
Road—Say It Means Big Saving of Money
NEWS OF TBE NATION
Decision to hard surface the spur
connecting the Pleasant Garden road
and the proposed state highway to
Randleman was reached at a joint
meeting of the £oard of County
Commissioners and the County High-way
commission at the courthouse
yesterday afternoon. At the same
time it was agreed that two milee of
the old Pleasant Garden railroad,
paralleling the railroad tracks
would be topsoiled.
'Under this plan commissioners.es-timate
that the county will save not
less than $62,000 based upon pres-ent
road construction costs. It was
stated that if it had been decided to
hard surface the entire Pleasant
Garden road and topsoil the spur
connection the cost 'n the county
would have been $116.ri2.22. ••
Those figures were reached in this
manner: To topsoil the spur, 1.6
miles,' $ l,'20U; to erect a bridge on
the spur, $3,2-50; to hard surface
4.1 miles to the Tabernacle road.
$100,062J2-2; to grade 4.1 miles to
the Tabernacle road. $10,500, the
total being $115,012.22.
On the other hand, county officials
calculated the cost of the adopted
program as follows: To hard stir»
face the spur. 1.6 miles. $40,048.67;
to re-surface 1.1 miles of old ma-cadam.
$1,650; to topsoil 1.1 miles
of old road. $825; to grade and
opsoll two miles of old read. $7.-
0'i0: to erect a bridge on the spur.
FND BODY OF WOMAN
COVERED WITH LEAVE
$3.Ji50, the total cost being $52.-
773.17.
It was stated that the old Pleas-ant
Garden4 route for which many
citizens had asked would be entirely
hard; surface with the exception of
two and a half miles. Greensboro
will have two excellent highways
leading from that section, it was
pointed out; much traffic would be
diverted to the proposed state road
to Randleman from the Pleasant
Garden road.
Pleasant Garden people will have
two good routes leading to Greens-boro-,
instead of one, officials point-ed
out.
TOpsoiling the Pleasant Garden
road will begin immediately and4
shouid be completed within a month,
lt Was announced. Two miles ot
the told Pleasant Garden highway
will be hard surfaced, 1.1 miles ot
the old macadam road will be re-surfaced
and topsoil will be built
on one side, a distance ot 20 feet,
intersecting the Tabernacle road.
Already the spur connection has
been graded and the hard surface
work will begin at onee. , ''
For a long tinfe the question of
the routes of the Pleasant Garden
and Randleman roads has been a
source of controversy. Final de-cision
had been delayed because or

Educational Matters
Considered By Synod
Ltacolaton, Oct. 25.—Educational
matters engaged much of the time
ot the Presbyterian Synod ot North
Carolina here today. The commit-tee
on schools and colleges reported
a gratifying year, marked by in-creased
attendance and higher
standards. Tbe 'burning of Cham-bers
hall at Davidson college was a
tragic development of the year, but
the situation was being met in re-sourceful
manner. The need of
greater equipment and endowment
of the four colleges for women was
emphasised. President W. J. Mar-tin,
of Davidson, made a -forceful
plea for Christian education.
Tb> committee on stewardship
submitted a most gratifying report:
Excellent .progress fn the various
spheres of activity is reflected in re-ports

of 100.000 pounds of tobacco and
told 50.000 pounds outside of the
association for which damages ot
$2,500 are asked in addition to an
allowance of $750 for attorneys'
fees. :r■ „ ' ■ . ..
That the association will 80 .the
limit in protecting the ihterestsyof
Its loyal -members by «ults against
contract Tjreakers Is evidenced from
the fact that all the "suits now on
file are now on printed forms and
apply to members both ta-the old
belt and Eastern North Carolina,.
Deliveries to the Tobacco Growers'
Co-operative association doubled in
Eastern North Carolina last week
and con-tinned heavy throughout
Virginia and the old belt. ,* -
At celebrations over the legal
victory of the association Oliver J.
Sands, of Richmond, its executive
manager, was welcomed by thou-sands
of tobacco farmers at Red
Oak, Greenville, KInston, Washing-ton
and IRocky Mount.
The second cash payment by the
association to all members in South
Carolina will be made next week,
and, according to Mr. Sands, the as-sociation
could go out of business to-day
and make every member who
has delivered tobacco two more pay-ments,
each as large as the urst.
No tobacco of the association has
been sold as low as the loan value
placed upon it by the bankers and
some grades have been sold for
nine times the amount of the first
cash advance to member growers.
"There was never a company-formed
with a business as big as
vours which has rnn as smoothly
and successfully as your associa-tion,"
the manager of the big- co-operative
told its members in East-ern
Carolina.
