The Value of Good Roads

The value Of good roads to the farm
ers may be judged from the following
from yesterdays Charlotte Observer,
which says:
"A gentleman in from Steel Creek
yesterday reported that it took five
horses to pull a two-horse load along
the dirt road to the macadam."
Charlotte has some good macadam
roads extending into the country and
the farmers who live along those good
roads a go to market and haul with
two horses what in former days re-
Quired a team of at least four horses.
It may be seen what expense hauling
is to farmers who yer live a distance
from the macadam road, when it is
stated hat five horses had to be used
to draw a two-horse load.
The man who is opposed to good roads
knoweth not what he does. Good roads
will pay for themselves and if you
don't believe it, ask somebody along
the good roads in Mecklenburg.

DRAMATIC CLUB TO FOUR
A Trip Alter Lent Vow Being Talked
bout

A tour of the Dramatic Club immed1-
ately after the Easter celebration is
the latest thing on tapic. The manage
ment Of the club is contemplating such
a tour and is now trying to arrange for
it, which will be the trip the club was
forced to abandon last Easter.
For tina tour all arrangements had
been perfected, and rehearsals were
about to m when it had to be
declared off.
If the club this time makes a tour,
which it will very likely do, five cities
will embrace it's itinerary. Two plays
will be produced at each performance,
one a curtain raiser. The curtain raiser
will be the one act play of Comedy
and Tragedy" in which piece our the
atre goers several seasons ago had
the pleasure Of seeing the distinguish
ed actress Emily Bancker, now dead.
The company will consist of nine of
the clubs most alented members, be-
sides a chaperon and a business mana
ger. Several Of the troupe will be able
to introduce really high class special
ties during the progress of h main
play, so to speak, which will be a rat
Ting modern comedy.
The management of the club is at
present working %arduously on the pro-
posed tour, and hopes shortly to an
nounce definitely the success Of it's eff
forts.
