Maasachnaettn state Roaha.

State roads in Massachusetts are be-
ing built, under an appropriation of
100000 per year, evenly divided among
the IA counties. The state pays cost Of
surveys and construction, the county
to refund 25 per cent. thereof in six
years. About rs pieces of road have
been built the past two years, each
piece being about mile in length,
serving as an object lesson of what good
work should be. The plan is to have
lines Of state road from Boston through
the northern and central tiers of towns,
along the coast and toward Rhode
Island in direct line. The new roads
are IS feet wide, composed of 2h inches
of broken rock, inches of smaller size
and IA inches of rock dust, rolled by
steam. Some 10 Or 10 years will be re-
quired to complete the system, but the
people are urgent for larger annual
appropriation.

A FARMERS STATEMENT.



tho Road Question.
No one disputes the advantages OF
good roads. There is no one who does
not desire good roads. But, like good
many other good things that we de-
Sire,we cannot always see our way clear
TO get them. We are often compelled
to get along with what is inferior be-
cause we have not the means Of getting
something better. There has been q
great deal Of talk about road improve
ment, and the belief seems to exist
among certain classes that the farmer
does not know enough to know that he
needs better roads, and that hence
there must be campaign of education.
The farmer knows quite as well as the
bicycle rider what he needs, and he
knows much better that il the entire
expense of making a road that will
please the bicycle people is to fall on
him the construction is out of the ques-
ton. 1t would confscate his farm to
do Ii, while it would not cost the vast
majority of the bicycle people a red
cent cent. The movement for good
roads is not primarily in the interest of
the farmer, but in the interest of the
townspeOple; and the townspeople have
q very much greater interest in good
roads than the farmer has. He could
live II the roads were so bad that no
never could get to town. The trades
man could not. Chicago is deeply In
terested in having good roads in this
county; the railroad, the manufac-
turer, the merchant, all classes in the
cities, are interested, and that being the
fact, the wealth and business enter
prises in the centers of population
The advocate., 1896-01-22

greatly to reduce the cost Of trans
portation. There is one way that the
state could construct roads cheaply, as
far as the labor would go. That is to
employ convicts for roadmaking. We
have an army Of these people, and there
is a fierce opposition to their employ
ment in any kind of labor that will COM
pete with outside mechanics. Here is
an opportunity to employ them on
work that competes with nobody, for
nobody wants to do this kind of work.
Let the state provide the machinery
for crushing stone and have the con-
victs do the work.-John Fl. Hobbs, in
Farmers Voice.

ROADS IN MICHIGAN.
Governor of the State Appears Interested
In the Movement.

In the Movement.
Delegates to the road parliament re-
Gently held at Atlanta, Ga, went home
in most instances with a stronger de-
termination to follow up the road agi-
tation in their several localities.
In Hastings, Mich, it has resulted In
a revival of good-road interest which
seemed to call for something more
prompt than the passing of laws.
A large sum of money has already
been raised by voluntary subscriptions
and active work was begun last week.
The matter was considered enough
OF an event to warrant a number of
prominent business men in going out
into the country and shoveling the first
load of gravel.
AT Lansing there is a movement
started, backed by the Michigan dele
gates who went to Atlanta, which looks
to the calling of a convention to be held
In that city for the purpose of discuss
ing the subject of an improved system
OF roads for Michigan. 1t is understood
that the governor will issue the call
and that the outcome is likely to be in
teresting.
The advocate., 1896-01-22

should be taxed to aid the construction
Of good roads in this county and every
other portion of the state. We are q
great people to advocate good things.
II we had everything that we say we
should have we should be enjoying a
civilization compared towhich our pres
entcivilization would be q mere shadow.
But nobody il willing to pay for secur-
ing what everybody says we ought to
have.
Let the state compel the conctruction
Of good roads, is repeated over and over
again by rich men, great corporations,
pleasure seekers and townspeople gen.
orally. All right; but who is to pay the
bill? Let anybody pay it, so 1 do not
have to, is the answer. Now we start
out with the undisputed claim that It
would be profitable to the farmer II we
had better roads. We go still further,
and make the assertion that it is prac-
tlcal to have good roads without great
ly burdening the farming community.
In the first place, it will probably be
generally admitted that not one man in
hundred who has charge Of the roads
knows any more about the science of
road building than Choctaw knows Of
the principles of the Christian religion.
Build up the center and perhaps cut
bitches on the sides, That Is the begin
ming and end of our road construction
al rule. That 1t does not work Ii

Making Roads In Carolina.

Capt. Sigh with his chain gang have
been doing some good work on the pub
lie roads in the Crane creek section of
the county. The roads there have been
In very bad shape, and Capt. Sigh has
been remedying these bad places and
has put them in splendid condition.
The improvements are evident on every
hand. The chain gang system has been
q great success in this county, and the
prisoners who generally lie up in Jail
are made to do work which has long
been needed.-Columbia Is. c. Reg

The Company known through
out the world rs the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO,

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale OF
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup OF Figs, 1t has become import
ant to all to have knowledge OF the
Company and its products. The
great value OF the remedy as II medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions OF bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose f
manufacturing and selling a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manulact-
uring, figs are used, rs they ar,
pleasant TO the taste, and heal,hfui
in their tendencies, but the medicinal.
properties of the remedy are obtaineC
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneticially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.
