LOAD IN WRONG PLACE.

that suitable hall shall be hired and
as many men and q sufficient supply
of crushed stone to construct a length
of good road as sample.
When the train arrives, the engineers
will begin at once to build about
mile of dirt road with the teams, men
and materials furnished by the local
ity. They will then surface or macad-
amize as much of that road as their
time will permit. When the practical
bility of the movement has been thus
manifested, the mayor and commercial
organizations will unite in call for a
public meeting to organize an assOcia-
ton.
President Moore of the National
Good Roads association says of the
project:
"The south can have good roads if it
will, and the sooner the citizens get to-
gether and work along some well or
ganzed and practical line these results
will be reached the quicker. There Is
nothing that will do more to increase
the value of virgin lands and advance
the development of the rural districts
than well constructed public roads.
The Improvement of the road system
will have wonderful effect upon slim
ulating the settlement of people on
farms, and as these settlements are be-
ing made so will the value of the land
increase.
wherever Il city or town is found
possessing we'll made roadways lead
ing therefrom you will find the busi-
ness of that point is in Il prosperous
condition. Therefore the citizens of
every town in the south will be pro-
noting their own interests if they give
this movement their moral and If nee
essary financial support.
ut is hoped that every state, county,
city and town officer will give this sub
ject of better roads serious considera-
tion and then take the matter in hand
Immediately and show his constituents
that the movement for better roads
will receive his utmost considerati ton
and utmost cooperation.
"It is universally decided that good
roads are what we want. In order to
secure them we must pull together,
working systematically and on practi-
cal lines. This grand tour, planned by
the Southern Railway company. is
signal for action. If the states visit
ed are not alive to this and do not avail
themselves of the opportunity to secure
information rendered by the good roads
special train, no one will be at fault
except the citizens of the states in
which the exhibits are made"
