Good for jefferson County.

The sum OF $1,000 in prizes for good
roads was offered by the New York Her
aid and the Atlanta Journal in connection
with the recent automobile tour between
these two cities. Jefferson county wins
the prize OF 500 in cash for having the
second best county roads between New
York and Roanoke. Mercer county, New
Jersey, secured the first prize OF $1,000,
and Rockbridge county, Va, the third
prize Of $3.50. The committee that made
the award was composed of Charles A.
Hoyt, A. L. Westgard and James Hyde
Pratt, and these gentlemen made a care
full inspection Of all the roads traversed on
this tour. Our money, we understand,
will be turned over TO the County Court,
and it has been suggested that it be used
for the purchase of additional road max
ing machinery, possibly going toward
buying a steam roller.
Not the least important feature OF this
award is the good advertising that Jeffer-
son county receives and the stimulation
OF the pride OF our county officials that
will result in continued improvement OF
our highways. Our people should all be
proud of the fact that in a stretch of 500
miles our roads are adjudged the second
best, competing with rich counties in
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland,
and we should feel encouraged to make
them still better aud next year try for the
first prize.
Another thing in Jefferson county that
appeals 10 the Automobiles and the
travelling public is that while we have ex-
cellent roads here, there is not one toll
gate in the entire county
