WE wish every citizen and tax pay
er in Vance county could see Neck
Ienburg's good roads. Then they
would perhaps be more alive to their
value and Importance and do more
to secure better highways to travel
and haul over themselves. 4 30 mile
ride over some of Mecklenburg's good
roads last week in an automobile at
an average speed of 2Omiles an hour,
and frequently attaining a speed 30
miles was a practical demonstration
of what we had heard and read so
much about.
