and ii could have been prevented al
together il the road had been provld-
ell wil' proper side drains.
There are other ruts in other roads
in Anderson county.
We wonder how much the ruts III
the roads cost the people who use
them in the course of a year. We are
sure the figures would be startling II
they could be Securcd-Daily Mail.
This Is OF course not OF especial III
tere>t to The people Of NewberrN
county. but the same lesson may be
impressed here that was sought to be
impressed in Anderson by the re,
counting Of these several accidents
caused by this rut in the road. There
are ruts in the roads in this county
which are causing accidents and cost
ing the people who use the roads
more money every day than it would
cost to fix the ruts. The trouble is
that there are so many ruts and in
stead Of the people who are close to
them fixing them they are counting on
the changing doing it.
Of course what We ought to do is
to get to work and make some real
good roads and as far as possible re-
move all the ruts. There are ruts in
all the roads in this county which
are levying the heaviest tax the peo-
pie Of this county are paying, but 1t
is like the tariff, a sort Of Indirect
tax, and yet a direct tax and heavy
one, but it does not come immediately
out of their pockets in dollars and
cents, but it comes all the same in the
wear of vehicles and stock and the
loss Of time. The best investment the
'people could make would be to put
some money in the filing of the ruts
in the roads.
If you can't get permanent roads,
fill the ruts. The ruts are costing a
lot Of money to the people who travel
the roads. They cost you money
whether you see it in the breaking
of your buggy or your wagon or not.
Don't forget that the ruts in the
roads are levying on you the heaviest
tax that you are paying today and
many Of you don't know it.

TEE RUTS IN THE ROADS.

There is q rut in the public road be-
tween Piercetown and Piedmont. II
is not more than six inches deep and
twelve inches wide. It was caused
by the water collecting on the west
side Of the road and running across
to seek a lower level on the east
side.
It could be repaired at cost OF
fifty or seventy-fve cents, but al
though it has been there for weeks
it has not been repaired and it has
caused several accidents which have
cost a good many dollars.
The other day a lareg automobile
came along this road at a good rate
of speed. It dropped into this rut
and one Of the large springs on the
machine was broken. The owner Of
the machine had to pay $25 for
new spring.
A couple Of weeks ago an Anderson
man drove his automobile into th1
same rut and the jar broke the glass
wind shield on his automobile. A new
one cost him S..
A few days afterward lady was
driving along this road in a buggy
The front wheels Of her vehicle
dropped into the rut and the single
tree snapped. She had to get out
unhitch the horse and walk to a farm
house nearly a mile away to get as
sistance. A new single tree will cost
several dollars.
Here are three accidents, which
have cost more than thirty dollars
which have been caused by this one
rut in one road. The same rut may
have caused other accidents that We
do not know of. And this rut, mlne
you, could have been repaired at
cost Of fifty or seventy-fve cents

To The Idler: I notice that you
have taken a stroll in Boundary street
and have noted what permanent i'm
proveemnt had been started by the
city and that it had been left half
finished. am sure that the city in
tends to finish this work some time
but you are right that it is a great
waste of tir1e and money to 60 about
starting and then leaving a piece of
work like this. AS a resident in
Boundary street I wanted to say to
YOU that We all appreciate your inter-

again some time when our street is
finished and we will show you one Of
the prettiest in the city, but We did
want it finished before commence

The Idler is delighted to pass this
on to the authorities and to say to
Boundarystreetitite that it hopes that
Mr.. Wicker and his force will get
there soon. but you must remember
that the streets in this city are some
what like unto the public roads in
this county, there is scarcely any end
to them and those Of us who live in
other streets want some work done
too. And the city council is doing it's
very level best to please all Of us
and We are all very unreasonable at
the same time. But all things come
to him who waits. And The Idler is
just waiting ard hoping and saying
