GOOD ROADS.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Tennessee is agitating the question of
how to get good country roads. 1t is a
problem not for Tennessee alone, but for
the entire South. There is not South
ern State which has sufficient roads, and
hitherto the subject has been altogether
neglected. The people have devoted
their energies to getting more railroads,
not apparently seeing that public roads
are equally necessary. AS it now is, it
often costs more to get produce to the
railroad depot than from the depot to
some central market. But aside from
their effect on transportation rates, good
roads have an immediate effect in the
value of farms. This is we'll shown in
the case of Madison county, Ala, where
lands on turnpikes are worth from $50 to
$50 per acre, while those on ordinary dirt
roads, which are really no roads at all, are
worth SIG to $50. A good turnpike thus
doubles the value of land in Alabama and
it will have much the same effect in other
parts of the South.
The proposition in Tennessee is that
the convicts be worked on the highways.
There is, However, decided prejudice
against employing convict labor in any
work of this kind and it is probable
that some other solution of the problem
will be needed Quite a number of coun-
ties have passed stringent road laws of
late and, thanks to them, have materially
improved the condition of their highways,
but they have no. done one-tenth that is
needed and it is quite evident that the
South has yet to find way of improving
and constructing roads. No better sug-
gestion has yet been made in this connec-
ton than the calling of road conference,
where the subject can be generally dis
cussed, the laws Of various States COM
pared, and a system organized that will
enable us to improve our highways. Let
us turn some of our supertluous energy
and capital, now devoted entirely to the
construction of railroads, to the building
of turnpikes, which are equally necessary

HOW 1T WORKS.

About year ago joint stock COM
pany was formed at Roanoke, Virginia,
with capital of s25, 900 for the purpose
of establishing a canning factory. The
first years operations are 50 satisfactory
that the enterprising citizens Of the place
are applying for stock in the company,
and ask that the capital be increased to
100000. The business of the city has
greatly improved, the population is rap
idly increasing, and it is asserted that
Roanoke, last year city Of only few
thousand inhabitants, will soon have a
population of 10000.

The Augusta, Tallahassee and Gulf

The Augusta, Tallahassee and Gulf
Railroad will be to the people of Middle
Florida Of the utmost importance, and to
the commerce of the entire country of
more consequence than any other road yet
built to Gulf port east of New Orleans.
There are now three great railroad sys-
TENS that may be reached within from 35
to 100 miles north from Tallahassee, all
Of which are seeking a Gulf outlet. At
Carrabelle, the terminus Of the y. L. Il g.,
this outlet can be found there any depth
of water can be had. Vessels drawing
twenty odd feet of water come and go
the year round. To this very important
road the State has been liberal in grant
ing land. 1t has grant Of 10000 acres
per mile, and received promptly what it
structed, and will regularly get its land
as it complies It's road in sections of five
miles. Besides all this, the route Of this
road, its entire length, is through the Uery
finest country in Florida and Georgia.
Now the question is, Why is this most
important enterprise not pushed more
rapidly than it s? We believe there are
plenty Of capitalists who would jump at
an opportunity to build this road, if they
were given chance-such a chance as
the present company has.
-Ev cry city, town and hamlet in Flor
ida should have Citizens Sanitary AS
sociation to cooperate with State and
County Boa rds Of Health in sanitary and
quarantine work. These associations
should be organized at once and proceed
forwith to clean up and give the State
Health Officer an agreeable surprise.
Put your places in good sanitary cond-
ton now and keep them so--and you need
have no fears for the approaching sum-
mer.
