4 Plain Lesson.

Almost any one can read pictures. and
so it is with maps. One may write ana
describe a place to the extent of columns
and still not be understood, but when
map clearly Illustrating the idea is pre-
sented to the eye, the subject can be taken
in at a glance. The map showing 100
square miles around Savannah" printed
in the Morning News a few days ago was
carefully studied by many who never be
fore thoroughly understood the important
question of drainage and road building
which has lately been agitating the pub
lie mind. The map made everything clear
The Meridian road which has been so
much discussed was an object of great
interest. Its advantages could be appre-
ciated from glance at the map. Com
pleted it would be a straight, good road
which would give ample facilities for COM
munication with every settlement east and
southeast Of the city and at the same time
develop the county lands. There has never
oeen given tenable reason for not COM
pleting the Meridian road. and there has
never been time when all the rights-of-
way from the Montgomery cross road to
the Waters road could not have been Sc
cured almost without cost. or at merely
nominal cost. to the county. A certain
county commissioner, before he became
a commissioner, condemned the building Of
the road and he has ever since endeav-
ored TO make that condemnation effect
i've. This is apparently the reason the
Meridian road has never been completed.
