Its. activities.
Colorado. with more opportunities
for good roads than any other COM
monwealth. has at the present time
probably less milage Of improved
roads than two-thirds OF the other
states of the union. In many states.
notably New York and Missouri, mill
lions Of dollar0 are being expended
In the improvement OF the Highways
OF each commonwealth. A great ma
jority Of the states Of the Union now
have . good roads commission whose
duty II 10 to supervise the construc-
ton and maintenance Of the state
roads. In every case great good has
resulted from the work OF such com
miaoio0a.

vides for the creation Of . state high
way commission. the members OF
which shall serve without compensa-
ton. and whose daty 1t shall be to

alton embracing Lexington. Aiken

ond annual convention in the city

September 7. 1908.
The meeting was called to order
by the President of the Association
j. E. B. McCartha and was led in
prayer by Rev. d. B. Groseclose.
The carriers were welcomed TO
Leesville by DR.. D. M. Crosson to
which the response on behalf of the

Several short and timely address
es were made by DR.. E. j. Ether
edge, Postmaster Bodie, Prof. L. B.
Haynes, Rev. M. M. Brabham and
many of the carriers.
The most entertaining feature of
the morning session was an instruc-
tive narrative by DR.. D. M. Crosson
setting forth the facts and circum-
stances leading up to the establish
ment of the first experimental r. F.
u. route from Leesville. This route
was inaugurated on April 8, 1899
with H. d. Crosson who is still in
the service and is the oldest carrier

The carriers were entertained at
dinner by the carriers and citizens of
