in almost every instance, where there
has been a meeting of a Cumberland
PRESBYTERIAN Presbytery since that
time, to have resolutions passed, APP
proving and indorsing the so-called

case, and attempted to organize an
other Presbytery for themselves, gen.

and always with a minority.
Seeing that they are hopelessly in
the minority and that the large ma

church is unalterably opposed to the
so-called union, the Unionists, In their

WHAT is A GOOD RoAD7

The best roads that have ever been

and which ars to-day almost perfect

Their roads had a width of 80 feet,
and paYements Of heavy stone at the
bottom. and often one or more layers
Of stone bedded in cement TO make the
road waterproof. The two cuts show
the best types Of ancient Roman
roads.
It has been argued that such roads
would cost too much to build in these
days OF high wages. To be sure, the
initial cost would be enormously
greater, but the final cost would. on
the other hand, be much less.

Therefore in 1000 years, the age Of

a mile Of our macadam road, which
Il doesn't, wouldn't the loss of money

ience be sufficient reason for building
roads that would last at least 100

The truth is, we build our roads In

In France. which has perhaps the
finest roads In the world, the roads
are divided into sections. and one or

They are required TO go over the

there is a Toulouse. with a quantity
of stone ready for repair work al

OF maintenance is very low and the
roads last for years.
Edward X. Parkinson.
In commenting upon the above ar.
gument by Mr. Parkinson. the editor
of the Country Gentleman says:
Mr.. Parkinson has broached a sub
ject that certainly deserves most
earnest consideration. II a macadam
road becomes rutted and gutted the
hrst winter, II may be questioned
whether It is very much better in the
long run than the mud-bank 1t re-
placed-that is, II will shortly revert
to a condition about as bad.
On the other hand, the weight Of
expert opinion seems at present to
be against the attempt to build Ro-
man roads in this country. Not only
Is the expense excessively great. but
such solidity is unnecessary, with or.
dinary care in draining. Thus Mr.
w. p. Judson. in his book on roads
and pavements. says that the Roman
roads were remarkable for theil
strength and durability, and for 1T
tie else. II anyone were 20 unwise
as 70 attempt TO build similar roads
now, the cost would be from four to
eight times the present cost Of ouI
most expensive modern pavements,
which are. in every way, better for
modern uses. and upon which the
cities Of the United States are esti-
mated to have expended half q bill
