Roads ana the Farmer.

Good roads cannot be secured With.
out the cooperation of the famer In
maintaining them after they are once
properly constructed under the super.
vision of the County Court. They
need as much attention as the corn or
tobacco crop, and the farmer is per-
sonally interested in their mainten-
ance after they are once put in proper
condition. 1t has become a custom
to look upon the road proposition as
a necessary evil, utility that no one
has part in but the County Judge,
the magistrate and the district super
visor or overseer, and that no one has
voice In the matter of keeping them
up but these officials. The farmers
are interested in the matter Of good
roads individually as well as collect
lively, and without their earnest CO.
operation they need not expect bet
ter condition than now exists.
An earnest. united effort will soon
bring about better condition, and
with this condition comes the en-
hancement of the value of the farm
and city property. From an Geo.
nomic standpoint. less wear of horse
flesh and twice the amount hauled at
one load. easy access to market at all
seasons and under all conditions.
Caldwell County has an abundance
of material with which to build good
roads all over the county, and it is
up to the present generation to issue
bonds and do its work. Get good
roads and enjoy them while you live.
If they cannot be paid out during
your lifetime, you will help your
children and grandchildren to good
highways and better resources to
meeta bonded indebtedness.-Pri
ton (Ky.) Leader.

3125 COAL MINERS LOST LIVES.


Washington, D. C.-Accidents in
coal mines of the United States dur
ing the last calendar year resulted in
the death of 1925 men, and injury to
1915 more, according to statistics
just made public by the Geological
Survey. The death record among the
coal miners during the year was
greater by 1893 than in 1906, and is
said to have been the worst year in
the history of the coal mining indus
try. The figures do not represent the
full extent of the disasters, as re-
ports were not received from certain
States having no mine inspectors.
West Virginia reported the heaviest
death rate in 1907, 1886 per thou
sand employees, and this State also
showed the lowest production for
each life lost-65,969 tons. New
Mexico stood next on the list with a
death rate Of 11.45 and a production
of 1882 tons for each life lost. Ala
bama was third, with death rate of
7.2 per thousand and production of

Rural Mails and Rural Roads.

A notification sent out by the
Postoffice Department should and
doubtlessly will have considerable ef-
feet in stimulating the good roads
movement The notice is In sub.
stance that those rural communities
which desire a continuance of their
free delivery of mails must provide
roads practicable in all sorts of
weather and keep them in good con.
dition. 1t will be the policy Of the
department to cut off the service over
over roads that may not be traversed
with comparative ease and in safety.
1t is not the wish of the depart
ment to deprive any community of
the rural delivery service that shows
appreciation of 1t. and no route will
be discontinued on account of poor
roads until after a reasonable time
has elapsed following notification OF
the necessity for improvements. For
some time the department has been
collecting data with respect to the
condition of roads covered by rural
free routes. and as far as possible.
communication will be had with the
road overseers or other persons re-
sponsible for the condition of the
highways, and efforts will be made to
have the road laws carried out.
The rural free delivery system is
not operated for profit AS a matter
of fact it costs very great deal more
than it earns. Its deficiency each
year is one of the heavy items of the
department. But it is of great ben
eft to a large number of people, and
that was the object of its creation.
1t is not more than fair that those
who benefit by the service should give
it all Of the aid they can, especially
in the way of making the roads safe
and easy.-Savannah News.

ing the roll of honor with .95 and
499,742 tons of coal mined for each
life lost.
Statistics do not bear out the pop
ular idea that most mine disasters
result from explosions. OF the total
number reported during the last year,
947 deaths and 343 injuries resulted
from gas and dust explosions, and 201
deaths and 416 injuries were caused
by powder explosions. The chief
cause of death among the miners, the
report explains, was due to the falling
of mine roofs and coal. Such disas-
tiers caused 1922 deaths and PAL
injuries.
f. w. Parker, chief statistician of
the survey, asserts that much benefit
will result from the action of Con-
gress in appropriating 1000 to in
vestigate mine disasters and take
steps to decrease the number of ac-
cidents each year.
