IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ROADS

New York state is going to spend one
hundred million dollars in building
| good roads Experts who have made
an investigation state that the eco
nomic waste now going on because of
the condition of the roads, which will
be stopped by the proposed new road
system, amounts to thirty eight million
dollars year in that state
This is an object lesson to the people
of North Carolina In some sections
they realize the great advantage of
good roads and are willing to tax them
selves to secure them, but, as a rule,
our rural residents are too Indifferent
in this matter. They do not seem to
understand how good roads will in
crease the value Of their lands, bring
the market towns near to the farms, re-
duce the wear and tear On wagons and
horses while enabling time to be
saved through ability to haul much
heavier loads.
Good roads are Of vastly more i'm
portance to the farmers and land own
ers than to the residents of the cities
and towns to which they lead, though,
OF course, they benefit the latter also
Another advantage in good roads to
the country residents is the increased
facility for mail service Where there
are good roads there is quick and
frequent rural free delivery service.
and this is becoming a matter Of great
er importance to them as the rural
public schools create in the rising gem
GRAFTON a greater desire for reading and
keeping up with the daily events the
world over. Country people who op-
pose good roads do not know whac in /
jury they are doing to themselves and
to their children. ~

The News and Observers Washing

that the government has decided to
prosecute certain cotton mill men in

Some of these operatives are girls who
wish to stay in this country and be-

such labor is in this country it seems

be a combination of what each con-
tend should be the main issues. The
Governor wants tax reform to be the

Rev. G. W. Kinsey as mayor of Fair

was elected by what was styled re-
form influences, but he failed to get
the support of that influence after
he went into Office and tried to Gag
ry out the principles of his plat
form. They did not like reform
after they got it. The same fate
may await Mr.. Harmer, but they
ought 10 treat him better than that.
