IN ROAD
BUILDING.

The good road demonstration
now in progress in front of the
Industrial Institute has accom-
plished two things from which
valuable results are sure to
follow: first, it has established
the fact that good roads can be
built of dirt in this parish; and
second. that building good roads
requires experience, skill and
special knowledge.
Possibly the chief reason why
all over the State the roads are
in such poor condition is because
of the failure to recognize the
necessity of knowledge and
skill in road building. The
practice generally has been. and
is yet, to place road building and
supervision in the hands OF road
Overseers under whose direction
all work is done and all road
money spent. These road over
seers have been and are almost
without exception farmers living
along the roads put under their
charge, and almost without ex-
ception the road has been and is
worked simply for temporary
correction, seldom economically
because of loss of time and lack
of proper system. In fact.
road working, for it can scarcely
be digniied with the name of
building, has been something of
an orphan in this State, receiv-
ing but scant and sorry atten-
ton.
This state of affairs, however,
is showing signs of improvement
in that the agitation of the good
roads question is creating a
vigorous sentiment for a better
ment, and the signs of the times
point, in the words of the old
song, TO a general change in
business all around" as far as
road affairs are concerned.
In Lafayette parish this deyel-
Opment of sentiment is abreast
with, if not beyond, any in the
State, and indications point to
an early development of it's road
system along the progressive
lines that have characterized it's
educational growth. Already in
the second ward a movement is
on foot to arrange for a special
land tax for the benefit of the
roads, and there is great en-.
enlargement to believe that the
movement will be crowned with
success. There is good evidence
also to show that this effort fol
good roads is a direct result oil
the demonstration now pOino
forward.
And there is every reason tt
believe, too, that other moves OF
a like kind will result, and thai
the essential fact that to builG
good roads requires a road
builder, will meet with such ap
preciative and practical recogni
ton that Lafayette will be among
the first, if not the first, to es
tablish as a part of it's Oficia.
working force, a good roads
department in charge of a gooc
roads expert who, under bond
will be held responsible for al
efficient expenditure of the roa6
money with which the people
will literally supply the depart
ment.

who appears as a witness for the
defense. According to the New
Orleans Item, Bishop Galloway
of Mississippi, known far and
wide for his conservatism and
hard horse sense, repeats in
private conversation what he
said at the recent celebration at
Tuskegee Institute. AS to
negro education. he says: Il
dissent, with all the emphasis of
my being, from the statement
that education has made the
negro more immoral and Grimm
al. There are no data or figures
on which to base such an indict-
ment or justify such an asser-
ton. On the contrary, indis-
putable facts attest the state
ment that education, and it's at
tendant influences, have elevated
the standard and tone of morals
among the negroes"
The bishop asserts that the
horrid crimes which lead to
lynching ire committed without
exception by the most densely
ignorant of the race. He has
made inquiries to ascertain
from the representatives of
various institutions the post
collegiate history of their
students, and he is profoundly
gratitied at the record. We often
hear that education is thrown
away upon the negro, but the
fact that the Southern taxpayers
since 1870 have expended $125,-
OOO, 900 upon negro schools goes
to show that public sentiment at
the South is not willing to cor
sign the negro race to the blind
ness of illiteracy. At present
there are 10000 negro public
schools in the South. Every
year the South is spending upon
negro education more than twice
as much as the total taxes for
all purposes paid by the whole
negro race of the South, and we
have spent upon negro schools
five times as much as for pen
sions to Confederate soldiers.
That we are not opposed to the
negro becoming Il landowner, as
well as educated. and thus quail
flying himself for suffrage, is
shown by the fact that in the
North one negro in every thirty
three owns a home, while in the
South one in every twenty-one
owns a home. In Pennsylvania
only one in every thirty-nine.
while in Virginia one in every
fifteen owns his home. In New
York one in every forty-fOur.
while in North Carolina one in
every twenty owns his home.
The negro shows himself a
better citizen at the South than
at the North. In the North one
negro in less than every $50 is
in prison, while in'the South only
one in every $50. In Massachu.
sets one in every 1876, while in
Mississippi only one in every
$50 is in prison. In Illinois one
in every $50 is in prison, while
in North Carolina one in every
400. Prison here includes city
and county jails as well as State
prisons.
AS Bishop Galloway we'll says
fright education, under whole
someauspices, is the only solution
, of most social and political prob
lens. Ignorance is a cure fol
!, nothing. The strength of every
