Mr.. G. E. Moore Of Honea Path was
in the city today. He said the people
of Houna Pa'h would make an effort
10 secure the Due West railroad, which
has been projected to run from Due
West to D0nalds.
The people of Due West, Mr.. Moore
said, ale very anxious to secure a rail-
rO d, and have organized q company
and subscribed enough money TO ill.,
sure that it will be- built. The idea
has been to have the road connect with
the Southern at Donalds, a di.tance of
tour and q half miles from Due West,
but the land owners at DOua DIS want
{ o make the company pay for the
right of way into the town. The Due
West people do not feel that this IL
right, and they have commenced over
lures with the people of Honea Pa:h.
The Honea Pa'h people, Mr.. Moore
says, are more than willing, and a
meeting of the citizens of the town will
be held in a few days to consider the
matter.
Mr.. Moore said that since there l.
talk of building the road from Due
West to Henea Path, instead of 10
Donalds. the suggestion has been made
that the road should be made an. cleo
trio road, instead of a steam road, and
that it be extended from Hones Path
to Bolton in order to connect with the
line from Anderson to Bolton. How
ever, nothing has been decided on as
vet, and In fact it has not been decid-
I'd to build the road TO Honea Path.
The only thing that is settled is that
the people of Due West are going to
have 8 railroad, whether it runs to
Donalds or some other point.
The distance from Due West to
Donalds is four and a half miles, and
the distance from Due West to Honea
Path is eight miles.

$500. This is due to the greater knowl-

by the road builders as well as by the
use Of improved machinery and meth

ern states roads r being constructed
at a much less figure, some of them

be expected. these roads are not as

The state Of Georgia is, perhaps, the
most progressive among the southern
states. For a number Of years it has
employed a large amount Of prison Ia
Dor in the construction Of its roads,
using prisoners, both black and white,
in crushing stone and in constructing
the roads. The system Of employing
prison labor has been so successfully
carried out that it has been adopted
in other states.
A most interesting good roads cam.

In Some of Our States.
The United States does not begin to
spend the amount of money upon Its
public highways that 1t costs to con-
struct and maintain the public roads
Of England and European countries.
While this country leads the world In
its railroads and street railways, 1t Is
far behind most countries across the
Atlantic in its system Of public high
ways. England and Wales spend an
nually $50, 900, 900 on their roads, Ire
land $3,0OO,OOM France $37,5OO,OOO,
while the United States, the pioneer of
all nations in public improvements, the
leader Of the world in devising and
perfecting plans to add to the comfort
and welfare Of mankind, hgs in h
race with the ~disgraceful record OF
spending $4,000 upon its federal plan
Of public road improvement
This does not include, Of course, b
annual expenditures Of the various
states Of the Union, says the Buffalo
Express. If these sums were included,
the comparison would not be so unfa-
vorable, for there will be expended this
year close on to $1O,O0O,O00 throughout
the country for the betterment Of pub
lie highways. Moreover, the outlook
for the future is exceedingly bright
The possibilities are that by the end OF
another decade the combined e1pendi-
lures Of the federal government and
the various states will equal $50,OOO,-
600 a year for the construction and
maintenance Of public highways.
There are fully 200 good roads or.

to the cities to enter the professions
would remain in the country.

The movement to increase the salary
of our state senators and assemblyman
from $500 10 $1,000 for regular session
will IN all probability be opposed by
many tax. payers The present compen-
sation of our lawmakers, as fixed by an
amendment to article four Of the state
constitution, has been considered fully
adequate at all times during the past
twenty.four years Why, then, should
the present salary Of our legislators be
considered inadequate now? 5000 Is
certainly a generous salary for three or
four months work. This must be
apparent to anyone who will give the
subject moments thought. In the
consideration Of the movement IN
question it should be borne in mind that
scores Of men could bs found, in every
assembly district and every senatorial
district in the state, who would only be
too glad to serve in the legislature at
the salary now fixed by the constitution.
If the compensation should be in
creased by n hundred per celt., the
higher salary would not at all insure
increased efficiency on the part Of the
solons There il nothing that is more
absolutely true than the fact that an in
crease IN the compensation Of our law
makers could not possibly be the means
Of raising the standard Of intellectually
and efficiency in the legislature. If the
salary were ten thousand dollars II year,
it would still be possible for compara
