EDITOR FARMER:-The question of
public roads in the East is an impor-
tant and serious one. Many of our
roads which are barely respectable at
any time, are lamentably bad in win
ter. The East has furnished ~convicts
and paid tax for their support, to
build railroads in other parts of the
State these many years, hoping that
the development of one portion of our
great State would promote the welfare
of another. The fact that articles
manufactured in the western part Of
our State comes to us cheaper than
direct over own State lines, proves
the contrary; we are o casting about
for some means of relief from the
great burden and tax consequent upon
our bad roads, and believe that any
expense should be borne rather than
longer have roads over which we "a
carry only half loads. The present
law in regard to working convicts on
county roads seems to be unsatisfac-
tory. The present State tax is not
b~urdensome; the people would gladly
bear more with the assurance that it
would be applied judiciousiy for their
good. From what | know of the
loyalty of our brethren OF the West, |
am sur they would not be unwilling
to contribute their mite towards the
advancement Of such an important
work for the hard-toiling masses Of
the East.
At a meeting of a very respectable
body of our citizens, in a Lodge COM
posed of IS or 50 farmers, a set of
resolutions were adopted calling upon
our legislators and county commission
ers to secure better roads for Beaufort
county.
These resolutions were handed me
by the Secretary of the Lodge with a
request that | forward them to your
paper to be published, as THE Pro
GREssIvE FARMER is considered, as it
justly deserves To be, the champion Of
all progress in every department of
Our State.
Yours fraternaIIv.

Wife or Coffin.

ATLANTA, GA, April 12.-Dr
Pridgeon, who conducted his own obse:
quies near Athens last Sunday, has had
trouble with his family. After the ser
mon was all over he dressed to carry bis
coffin home with him aud put it away
until such time as it should be required.
His wife, who has quietly borne all of bis
foolish whims up to this time, and who
had even occupied seat of honor near
the speaker, where the vast assembly
could gaze upon her with sad yet comic
looks as the speaker sought to comfort
her and condole with her on the loss OF
her husband, now asserted her authority
and declared that the coffin should not
enter her house until there was some
cause for its presence. She was 30 firm
that he permitted her to have her way,
and it was carried to neighbor's house
and permission to leave it there was OBJ
tained after considerable persuasion.
That night the preacher pondered over
the matter until he could not rest. He
got up, dressed himself and waited for
day. With the rays of dawn he went
after the coffin, and bringing 1t to his
home, has kept it there against all oppo.
sition. His wife says she will not live in
the house with the coffin, and things
point to a divorce between the evangelist
and his spouse.
