For Better Roads.

The necessity of some Improvement in
the public roads of the statc has of late
been much agitated aud different plans
have been suggested, but none have
mater allied hecanse Of want Of con
cert Of action on the part Of those public
spirited citizens taking mn interest in the
movement. An association known as
the Deer Creek Farmers Club" having
its habitat in Hartford County. however.
has fallen upon aplan which looks practi-
cable and may bring about the mnch
coveted result This association has
called a convention Of the citizens Of the
State to meet in Baltimore on the llth.
18th and 18th Of january next, for the
purpose Of discussing the subjcc, in all
its aspects and to agree upon aud draft
a d, fnaie plan Of operation.
The invitation to attend the meeting is
general, and representative men from
every agricultural society. because. pre-
sumably most interested. and many 9th
ers prominent in advocacy Of the mate
rial advancement of the State
are expected to be present and
participate in the proceedings.
We trust that Southern Maryland, so
much in need Of this Important improve
ment will be equal 10 the commend,ble
spirit Of enterprise shown by the farmers
of sister county. and will endorse the
movement BY being well represented at
the coming meeting and il any feasible
plan is agreed upon give to it full and
hearty co-operation.
There is no improvement which can
add more TO the advancement Of the
prosperity Of a State than good roads;
there is no improvement which can ad
veriise State so well as good thorough
fares, 1t shows thrift, life and enterprise
and nothing pleases stranger in search
Of place to locate so much as to cas-
his lot among public spirited people, anc
besides how much is saved in the way
of time AMI labor in havin, good road,
over which TO travel
This section Of the State is especially
in need Of such improvement, but oul
people are not able to do much. They
have tinkered away with their limited
means. here and there filing muc
hole or graveling a newly made roac
bed, doing the beat that could be don,
under the circumstances, but not mucl
after all. A general scientific system
properly conducted is wha. is wanted. =
A plan has been suggested, which
seems to meet popular approval. and
it is to have general sys-
tenn for the State to be supported
and maintlined by State aid with such
assistance as the counties can give, to be
.sss-.sasseiN 'estrolled " shesloeal an
thorities Of each county, some what III
the manner of the public school system
Such scheme seems practicable and il
kept out of politics may result in public
good. At least some new idea on the
subject Of road mending is necessary
and the subject should receive thought
full consideration.

held their regular monthly meeting o
few days ago. This meeting had been

the bounty in view of the succcss Of th.

of the members ventilated their personal
views. resolution was adopted that a
meeting of the Sugar Planters Assoeia
tion Of Louisiana be called by tie pr Isl
den. whenever necessary 10 consider the
present status Of the laws controlling the
sugar production. No date was set for
the meeting. which will, in all pr,babil-
ity. be held shortly.
A prominent member of Congress
speaking of it said: "As Democrats, we
cannot ask for tariff to protect the in

duty on sugar, under the guise of tariff
for revenue. l think that It the best
way ont Of it. We cannos get the duty
that was tiken of put back, aud it looks
as though we will lose the bounty. !
