Peter x. Meredith, of FELTON,. Dead

Peter K. Meredith, of FELTON,, Dead
The sudden death of Peter K.
Meredith at FELTON,, on Friday jan
uary 18th, was quite a shock to the
community. He was in his usual health
and no untoward accident was antic-
ipated that should terminate his life.
Peter Knots Merdith was born about
four miles southwest of Willow Grove
on the road to Greensboro, Md, on
the old homestead, July Is, 1884, and
died Friday, January Is, 1909. He
left to survive him two sons and three
daughters. By his first wife, Ella
phene Chambers, thedaughter of John
Greer Chambers, he left John Greer
Meredith, Wwho married Miss Eliza
Disch of Duck Greek Hundred; Sallie
Ann, who married Edwin E. Clements.
of Dover; Rev Gilbert J. Meredith
who married Mary E. Holden, of near
FELTON,. By his second wife, Susan
Broadway daughter of Ambrose Broad
way of Willow Grove, deceased, he
left Miss Leora Meredith, single, and
Mary Evelyn, wife of John w. Killen,
of near Felton,. He left four farms and
other landed property to his children.
Some fears since he was a member of
the Levy Court of Kent county for
South Murderkill hundred; in other
years he was State Insurance Com
missioner. and more recently a direc-
tor of the Farmers Bank at Dover.
In early days he was school teach
er and surveyor. He has lived in
FELTON, since 1885 and has been en-
gagged in the basket business and
looking after his farms. Funeral
was held Tuesday, when interment
was made at Cow Marsh.

The chain should be wrapped about
the left hand or rear stake and passed

at this end of the slab permits the
earth to drift past the face of the

For ordinary purposes the hitch
should be so made that the unloaded

There is no question as to the
economy in this road perfecting
machine. In Kansas the least expense
per mile per annum for maintaining
earth roads by split log dragging was
SIS the greatest a trife over Sc. 90,
the average a little over $500.
Of the 2, $50, 900 miles of public
highways in the United States, only
$50, 600 miles driving is fairly COM
Portable, and while it is the hope of
all interested in road questions that
a greater stretch of highway shall
be rock surfaced each year, vast
portions of the country have no rock
to use for road work, nor have the
people the money to pay for improve
ments that cost from 50, 500 to Sc, 900
a mile.
Earth roads must maintain for
many years to come, but with care
and thought they made be kept in
such condition that driving over them
may be made agreeable, while today
in many places it is we'll nigh i'm
possible. would therefore re-
commend the split log drag to be
used Immediately after each heavy
rain fall during the spring and fall
of the year as the use of it has a tend
ency to fill all holes and ruts so that
the water will find its way to the
bitches on the sides. Therefore the
road will become dry and hard and
smooth. Walter Ford, R. F. D.

WALTER FORD
ON GOOD ROADS
SMYRNA RURAL MAIL CAR
RIERS FEELS THEIR NEED
Explains the Split Log Drag the
Cheapest Method of Improv-
ing our Country Roads.

Mr.. Editor. We are spending mill
lions annually on the improvement of
rivers and harbors. We are spending
more millions in the construction of
the Isthmian Canal and we are asked
to spend colossal sums in the creation
and improvement of water ways. All
this money is spent and asked to be
spent in the interest of cmmerce.
''As matter of fact" we are sped
ing money at the wrong end. The
largest commerce of the country orig
mates on the farm and enters into
interstate and foreign commerce.
Most of it is drawn over roads that
for six months in the year are impas-
sible.
We have the poorest roads of any
of the highly civilized countries of the
world. There is no public work now
of greater Importance than the i'm
prOvement of the public highways,
over which products of the farm must
find their way to market. 1t is also
highly important to the establishment
of efficient mail service in the rural
districts.
As earth and water spells mud it
is not hard to grasp the fact that as
the letter carriers cover their 9, 875, 900
miles of road daily the need of i'm
provement and road maintenance be-
comes more and more apparent to
them nor is it to be wondered at that
the ten commandments of the road
builder can be summed up in the one
word, drainage. b." When all officials
who have to do with the building or
the maintenance of these earth roads
the necessity of keeping
them free from storm water the life
of the rural carrier will be far
more pleasant one than it is to-day.
To secure such drainage one should
take into consideration both surface
and ground water. The surface water
should be removed quickly and com
pletely.
For this reason the center of the
road should be raised or sloped toward
the side bitches being a half an inch
for each foot of distance, thus allow
ing the water to run freely to the
side bitches and not to flow down the
road or remain as puddles on the road
way. All side bitches should be of
such size as to care for the severest
storms with fall of not less than six
inches for each 100 feet, ample cross
grains being constructed and every
opportunity taken to get the water
away as quickly as possible.

Need Attention After a Storm

In fact every earth road should
have little attention paid to it i'm
mediately after heavy storm. There
isn't any way by which this can be
done so well as by constant use of
the split log drag. This method is
inexpensive and careful instructions
have been sent out from time to time
from the Office of the public roads of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, telling just how this i'm
plement may be contrucetd and how
the besst results may be obtained from
its use.
The best material for the drag is
a dry red cedar log, soft maple or
ash. The log should be between z
and 10 feet long and from ten to
twelve inches in diameter at the butt
end. 1t should be split carefully as
near the center as possible and the
heaviest and best slab chosen for the
front. In the front slab four inches
from the end which is to drag in the
middle of the road, bore a two-inch
hole, which is to receive a. cross
stake At a distance of % inches
from the other end of the slab locate
the center for another cross-stake.
The hole for the middle stake will be
on line connecting and half way be-
tween the two. Then place the back
slab in position and from the end
which is to drag in the middle of the
road, measure 20 inches for the center
of one cross-stake and six inches from
the other end locate the center Of the
opposite stake. The hole for the
center stake should be located half
way between the two. All these
holes should be carefully bored per-
pendicular, or at right angle to the
face OF the split log. If these direc
tions are followed it will be found
that when the hole of the front and
back slabs are brought opposite each
other one end of the black slab will he
10 inches nearer the center of the
roadway than the front one. That
gives what is known as "the set
back. " The stakes which are 30 inches
long will hold the slabs this distance
apart. When the stakes have been
firmly wedged into their sockets a
brace about two inches thick and four
inches wide may be placed diagonally
20 them at the ditch end of the drag.
A leated board should be placed be-
tween the slabs and the cross stakes
for the driver to stand on.
By many it is deemed best to place
a strip along the front edge of the
cutting slab to prevent the drag from
wearing.
The drag may be fastened to the
