All of this is due to the multiplic- ity of -private and local bills that have no proper place in the Legislature and that hamper the work of real-worth-toall the people of the State.

They are willing to pay for some- thing if they get it,but they want it n they pay for it “"The Landmark may be permitted to express the earnest hope,however, that the commissioners will not al- *low themselves to be persutided into Spending every cent of the money in laying out and building new roads, only to find themselves a year or so hence in the same condition they are now—thé money all gone and noneexpendonroadreparr.It should be kept always,in mind that roads must be repaired;and not a foot of road should be built unless there be ‘way in sight-to-provide for-its-re- pair.The maintenance problem is the real problem.It will be hard to ‘solve but it can be’solved.A ‘sys- tematic method should be adopted, ~only for-the-upkeep-of the-mod- ernly constructed roads,but for such _Yepairs ag the cross country roads need.Plans should be perfected for systemat#work,covering the entire county,the habit of delegations coming to every meeting of the board,pulling and hauling for work on this road or that,should be made -unnecessary.The work should be arranged for in due season without that method,which is as’unwise as it is troublesome,for-in-such case themostpersistentpeople,or those who ean bring most influence to bear,get What they want,regardless of the merits of theproposition.

On.account of-the proximity of theburninghousetotheSanatorium there was naturally some anxietyabouttheSanatoriumandthepa-tients,but the wind blew in anotherdirectionandtheinstitutionwasatnotimeindanger.Few of the pa-tients became excited and there wereno.serious results at the Sanatoriumonaccountofthefire.While theoriginofthfireisnotknown,it~is _probable that a defective chimney is ;ible;Mrs.Long had a “hotfireinthegrateintheroombelowwheretheSainistarted,and it is.possi!tchimneycaughtfireand a spark sift-ed through a crack in the chimney.The theory thatthe fire was‘by an electric wire is also advanced,and the rat i match theory is al-ways a possibility.While fighting.the fire Mr.Ralph|in Gaither,one of the firemen,__was struck in the.face by a stream of wa- ter and the pressure was so strongthatthetissuesofoneeyeweretornloose:He has since been under treatment at the Sanatorium.No se- rious:nor permanent effects are ex- pected,though the injury is a very painful one.Dr.Long and family will occupy Dr.Long’s cottage on Kelly street, to the rear of the Sanatorium,until a new home can be erected.Mr.and -Mrs.Earl Moser,who were living in -the cottage,Mr.Moser being’an em- ploye of the’Sanatortum,:have moved “to a cottage oa:Race street. \ Phirt¥.wihates berebefore the fire at ‘Dr.Long’s was discovered the motor fire truck had been called to the -«qhome-of-Mr.Burette .Henry on Fourth street,and it had just ‘been replaced in the station when the sec- ond alarm.was turned'in.At Mr. Henry’s.a little child haa sex mre to a bed,but the flames were extin-guished by members of the householdbeforethefiremenarrived...Therewasnodamageofconsequence.

TO REBUILD FORT.“DOBBS. D.A.Rs Buy TeTen Acres_of Land Embracing the-Site oftheOldFort—Plans For -aHistoricCenter. For some time it has been an open secret that the Daughters.of the Revolution had plarined to purchase the site of old Fort Dobbs,two milésnorthofStatesville,and make the place a center of,interest for thetwholecounty—a mecea for ‘all ~wholovetheircountry. Several months ago the Fort Dobbs chapter of the Daughters oftheRevolution(of.Statesville)se- cured an option on ten acres of land, embracing the site of the old fort.The option expires’April -1st and at their meeting last week the chap- ter definitely decided to make the purchase.For ‘the ten acres the Daughters obligate themselves topay$1,000.Further than this it is planned— the plans to be.perfected as waysandmeansare-provided—to._repro- duce the old fort,as near as maybe,| on the ground,tind dedicate the his-toric spot to the public.The Daugh- ters would make the place a picnic ground for a county gathering once &year—on the Fourth of July,say; a gathering place for the schools of the county;a meeting place.for pa- triotic organizations;a museum forrelice—pspecially of Colonfal*andRevolutionaydays;a mecca for those who love their country and who would develop patriotism by study- ing the history and.reciting thedeedsofthepatriots°who first.set+ tled the country and for whose pro- tection the original fort was built. These are the plans .now,partly suggestive and subject,possibly,.togomechangeinthedevelopment,The local chapter,as stated,will raise the funds to pay for the land.The chapters of the State will help pro-vide a fund to reproduce the fort. The undertaking is a large one,but a worthy-one:The Daughters are to Eb this historic place from oblivion’but for the noble purpose to which they will devote it.To accomplish:thetaskwillrequiremuchtoilandstress and patience.In their noble endeav- or the Daughters.deserve the cordial sympathy and co-operation of theorStatésvilleandtheentire county. coiling In.connection with the above’it.isofinteresttoknow.that the ‘ortDobbs.chapter of the D.A.R.will,after this year,offer their historicalmedaltothecompetitionofallthe high school pupils of the county.Forsomeyearsthechapterhasbeen.giv-ing a medal for the best paper on Colonial history,by a pupil of theStatesvillegradedschool,Hereafterthemedalwillbeopenforcompeti-tion to any high school pupil in the county.It will be of interest also to learnthatapicnicwillbeheldonthe,Fort Dobbs grounds on July 4th.e Daughters are now casting about for a speaker and as soon as one is se- cured announcement will be made.

All this sounds too mood’to -be true, but it is,‘and+the scheme is so sim- ple the wonder ‘is that.every State does not have one just-like it, The Florida fire -insurance:law reads that when a’policy-holder has a fire loss,the company must pay. If,for instance,you own a building worth only $5,000 and you ‘can get ‘an agent to issve a policy for $10,000, and-the building burns,you~recover your $19,000,providing,of course,the Company cannot.prove you areguiltyofarson..The total destruc- tion of an“insured property must be paid for at whatever umioun:your policy calls for.And tnere +s.proba- bly Jess arson in Florida thaw in any other State. The whole procedure is’logical. The companies.cannot take chances in appointing careless,.dishonest,or irresponsible agents.The agent,in order to hold his agency,does.not sell policies as a dealei hands out ci- gars over a -counter..-He-exercises..alot-of caution.He will not issue a policy unless he knows something of the party ‘insured,and he personally examines thé building or goods .and satisfies himself the property |.isworth‘the amount~the—insured de- sires.Thus,«policies for fictitious amounts.are not’written,for what is written must be paid.-On the-other hand,the insured is not allowed or induced to’pay premiums on amounts which could not be.recovered in oth- er States.,: This:maximum liability tends to decrease fives,for the agent must keep his record up to a certain stand- ard or the company gets another.in his place.The local agent becomesa-sort of inspector.He-has-to—be¢onstantly watchful;and when he discovers a -client is becoming eare- less and taking chances.whidly.might lead to a fire,the agent cautions suchapartyandthreatenstocancelhis policy.This eternal vigilance —at both ends of the insurance policy is automatically maintained,for both the company and its agents are anx- ious to stay in the business.And as for the honest policy-holder,he knows at all times exactly what his protection is,and,should he burn, just.what he will receive.
