Canton, Oct. 10.--Mayor Tom L.
johnson was at Canton, Thursday
night, and in that stronghold of Re-
publicanism the tent was filled to It's
utmost capacity, nearly 5000 persons
being present and hundreds were turn
ed away.
Owing to the coolness of the even
ing the sides of the tent were down
and those who were not fortunate
enough to get in failed to hear the
great leader. The outpouring here, last
night, rivaled those of Fremont and
Toledo which were the banner meet
ings of the campaign in regard to size.
Speaking Of Mark Hanna, Mr.. John
son said: "In declining to make good
his proposition for joint debate on
the tariff question with me Hanna gave
his reason that he did not care to
draw crowd for me to spaek to. From
the outpouring tonight 1t would appear
that Hanna's qualms on this score
were superfluous."
He then spoke of the policy Of the
Cleveland Leader which he said was to
defend editorlally anything to which
Johnson was opposed, even "Bill'' Gear,
the renegade" who voted for the ''cur-
ative" act.
There were number of questioners
present at the meeting last night, and
among other things Johnson was ask
ed If he was fire. trader or protec-
ZIONIST. Mr.. Johnson replied that he
was a free trader in the extreme sense
and that if he had his way he would
abolish the custom house.
man present wanted to know what
Mr.. Johnson thought about Socialism.
In reply he said: "Ihe Socialists desire
to do away with competition. But
competition is natural law. We do not
complain Of competition but Of mon
opolies which tend to kill competition.
What is needed is to open the resources
Of the world to the competition Of
ALL"
As usual, Mr.. Johnson took occasion
to denounce the 'eight black sheep"
w. M. Reed, the Republican auditor
of Stark county, also. came in for his
share of the compliments.
At this meeting Rev. Bigelow was
not present, his place being taken by
Mr.. Newton d. Baker of Cleveland. It

was called on and reported that "as no

Perhaps it would not be out of place TO
give a synopsis of the struggle we had
for good roads in Mecklenburg county,
and the wonderful change wrought by
the movement In 1878 the Democratic
ticket virtually had no opposition and no
canvass was made. In the Legislature
which met IN January, 1879, we passed q
road law taxing all of the people Qn-
Guiding residents of towns) to build and
maintain public roads. The surprise was
very great when the people, and especial
ly the town people, found they were to
be taxed to this end The opposition was
so great that even the few who were
known to favor good roads became silent
and some of those entrusted with the
execution OF the law spoke OF it as 1.-THE
obnoxious road law" The press of the
town was also against it. When Cover
nor Jarvis called q special session In
1880, monster petition was gotten up,
asking the Legislature to repeal it. The
press lent it's influence in this retro
ri ade movement. The members of the
House OF Representatives introduced
bill for it's repeal, accompanied by the
petition Ii received the approval of the
House and was sent to the Senate When

ROADS IN EDGECOMBE.

l think road improvement Is the most
important question that the people of the
State have been called upon to consider
The question of good roads and public
education go hand in hand. and / might
say, that the civilization and progress of
any community may be measured by the
condition of its public roads.
1t is impossible for the children OF the
State to get the full benefit of the school
advantages that We're made possible by
our wise and liberal Legislature, and
the untiring zeal and efforts of our chief
executive, with the present condition OF
the roads of the State, and ] am quite
sure that any iudieious expenditure for
the permanent Improvement Of our pub
lie roads, our farms and other real es
tate would be Increased in value two
fold, and if the roads and public high
ways of the State were put in proper
condition, the farmers of the State could
market their produce and other things
which they might have for sale with just
one half the cost with present condi-
lions.

erty. The money is all Tor nearly ALI
spent at home, in the township. The
people are none the poorer, for no money
has been taken away while the roads
are better and the value of property Is
increased
THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
Perhaps the most convincing proof OF
the value of good roads is the experience
of those who have built them. Most OF
us are not acquainted personally with
good roads, and cannot speak from ex-
perience. The great county of Mecklen-
burg Is the pioneer of the good roads
movement in North Carolina. In the be-
ginning, much opposition was manifested
10 the movement, especially on the part
of the town people, who did not want TO
be taxed 10 make country roads, and they
said they had no interest in them. They
have found out differently. Many coun-
try people thought the money spent was
a useless extravaganza. They have
found out differently. 1t may be safely
said, on reliable authority, that every
class of people in Mecklenburg county, in
city and country alike, now favors the
system which has given the county such
splendid roads; and that the people, as a
whole, would not go back to the old mud
and mire for five times what the roads
have cost.
There Is plenty of labor in the county 10
build and maintain good roads, If prop
erly utilized. A few days work a year,
under competent direction, supplemented
by reasonable tax on the property,
would, in few years, make a marvellous
difference. 1t is not to be expected that
all the counties can at once undertake
macadam or stone roads; most of them
cannot, except in the worse places; but
such vast Improvement may be made
in the common dirt roads, and it is these
which must be our first concern.
This road question is the most impor-
tant question now confronting the people
of the State. The country people are
vitality interested in it, not only from an
economic, but from a social standpoint.
The pleasure and advantages of country
life would be so greatly multiplied il
nelghbors had easy access over good
roads TO one anothers houses, if the
children could get TO school, If all the
people could so to church.
We are not too poor to build good
roads. We are too poor TO do without
them and prosper.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-02-09

When the country was young ard
sparsely settled the roads were usually
located with reference to the convenience
of families and to save work in construct
ing. In the hill and mountain country
the road went over the hills instead OF
around them Grades of 10 and Is per
cent were not uncommon, and many OF
them still exist. Roads we've located
over steep hills. and around fields to save
fences and as a matter OF convenience
to landowners. The rule was TO con-
suit private convenience, Father than the
good of the road and public necessity.
The whole system of road location needs
change and amendmsnt. And the first
principle OF road location is the public
good. II the present road is not in the
right place. it ought to be changed and
put in the right place, even if it does
take some of Mr.. Jones land, or does
not suit the convenience of Mr.. Smith.
The adoption OF the nO-fence law in most
of the State simplified in great measure
the question of road location. On the
new roads that have been and are being
constructed in the mountain country q
mean real roads and turnpikes) often
times in the most rugged places there Is
scarcely a grade CT over 5 per cent
that is, one foot rise to twenty feet in
height This shows what can be done
when road is located by competent
engineer, as all roads must be, instead OF
in the old bungling fashion by jury,
who frequently locate the road almost
anywhere to suit a neighbours conven-
fence, and with little or no reference to
the good of the road or the advantage of
the public travel
WORK OF CONVICTS ON THE ROADS.
In the discussions it was evident that
strong and growing sentiment exists IN
favor of working convicts on the roads;
and to the minds of some that seemed to
be the solution of the whole question.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-02-09

a distinguished author has said 1.-THE
of a nation from barbarism, and thei;
Improvement keeps pace with its civili-
zation.' Why is it that North Carolina,
in the twentieth century, is afflicted with
such bad roads? The cause, in my opin-
ion, is due to slavery. The slave power,
following the Feudal System, required the
slaves and laboring whites to maintain
the roads. With the abolition of slavery
the agitation for better roads commenced
but, as it is impossible to change the
customs of a people in short time, the
Improvement OF the roads has been very
slow.
Public roads must be built and main
tanned, either by the State, the county
or the township; so the first thing neces-
sary is to get law that will raise the
money to build and maintain them. Take
for example the greatest of all roads,
the railroad. The first thing that is done
is to get charter with the power to
condemn land for the right of way, and
TO raise money necessary to construct
and equip 1T. After this, engineers and
contractors are employed and the work
completed So with the construction of
dirt roads. If road law was passed
granting power TO condemn a right of
way and giving the county, or township,
authority to levy sufficient tax to
build and maintain the public roads, en-
sineers and contractors would soon APP
ply; OF the county, with the use of con-
vict labor, could do much of the work.
When l hear people talk about building
good roads without discussing the means,
ii reminds me OF a meeting OF Changers
that once assembled in the hall of the
Catawba Changers Council. The build
ing was inadequate for the number of
delegates. One brother offered a resolu-
ton appointing two gentlemen and my
