WOW enthusiastically discussed
as 1t the present time. IN the crystal
ization Of public sentiment for the BET
terment Of our highways, the Office Of
Public Road Inquiries, at Washington,
has proven a most important factor
This work is being accomplished by
collating and disseminating informa-
ton, publishing and distributing lit
erature on the subject, testing road
building materials, and in cooperating
with other allied forces of construc-
tiOn of object lesson roads in various
sections Of the country. The interest
manifested in this question is by no
means confined TO those within the
rural districts, who are supposed to be
the greater benefciaries, but all classes
of our citizens are directly or indirect
ly interested in this great movement,
and therefore should be free TO ex-
press their opinions and lend their as
slstance wherever opportunities pre-
sent themselves.
In this age of enlightenment and
progress all agree that il is necessary
to adopt other and more modern meth.
DDS of improving our highways than
the primitive method of warning out
the hands"-male citizens between the
ages of eighteen and forty-fve years
in proximity 10 the road TO be inn
proved. This has proven entirely too
effective, especially with the rapidly
increasing population of the country
and the constantly increasing volume
of traffic on the road. Were every per-
son liable TO duty to work with pick
and shovel a few days annually, as re-
quired by law, but little more could
be accomplished than to fill the worst
chuck holes, and by so doing ease their
conscience and relieve the overseers
of the embarrassment of being in
dicted in the county court. No system
of working roads is a just one if la
Dor is compelled to bear the entire
burden of the cost and at the same
time property enjoy equal benefits by
its enhancement in value.
As previously stated, money is the
necessary requisite for the improve
ment of our common highways, but the
perplexing problem with our people
is "how to get it." Day by day the
public is becoming more enthusiastic
upon the question as they study it iu
its various phases, and are of the opin-
ion that, as the roads are a benefit to
all, the burden of cost of their con-
struction and maintenance should be
born by all. There are various ways
by which this may be done, but like
the accomplishment of all great move
ments, the cooperation of all allied
forces is essential. Within the past
few years many States have enacted
laws and appropriated money for the
improvement of the common roads OF
the country, and many counties have
issued bonds for the same purpose,
with equally good results. Funds for
this purpose have also been raised by
direct taxation and by individual sub
scription. but the limited amount col
lected is generally too small to scarce
ly make beginning on the great num-
Der of roads to be improved.

No internal improvements would
more materially benefit the country at
large than good roads No section Of
the country is more enthusiastic for
good roads than the South, and as her
people seldom receive assistance in any
way from the National Treasury that
method that might be adopted for gem
eral internal improvements. 1t is graf
flying to know that this cause meets
the approval of the Southern delega-
tiOns in Congress. particularly the en-
tire delegation from North Carolina.
One Of the best speeches made on the
good roads question during the last
session Of Congress was by Represen-
tative Gudger, Of the Tenth tor noun
tain District of the Old North State.
IT is becoming quite evident to the
minds Of our solons that in order to
secure reelection it behooves them to
get in line for better roads. This gi-
gantic movement for better roads is
by the people, and the wishes Of the
people should, and must. be granted.
