most helped. The locality that
can show the best continuous
line through the State will be
favored in the event of a Ma,
tional movement and a National
road from the North to the
South.
1t is expected that at least one
north and south line will be i'm
proved across the State. Already
several lines have been proposed.
A Good Roads Circular" issued
by the North Carolina Geological
and Economic Survey, from
which the above is condensed,
has the following:
This New York-Atlanta au-
tomobile tour will pass through
the Piedmont section of North
Carolina either through Rock
ingham and Forsyth or Rocking
ham and Guilford and then
Davidson, Rowan, Cabarrus,
Mecklenburg and CASTOR coun-
ties. These counties through
which the route will pass will
have an opportunity to complete
for certain prizes that are offer
ed:
Zone thousand dollars for the
best stretch of road in any one
county Qength to be determined)
between some point in Virginia
or North Carolina and Atlanta.
Ga.
Five hundred-uollars for the
second best stretch of road in
any one county.
1.-Two hundred and fifty dol
lars for the third best stretch of
road in any one county.
! Across North Carolina the
route viii! be approximately as fol.

siderable of this road is alread,
macadamized in Guilford, Row
an, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg anC
CASTOR counties, but there arr
numerous gaps which should bt
macadamized as rapidly as pos
sible. North Carolina has tax
en- the lead of any State in the
South in good road construction
and we should see to it that w.
hold that lead, for upon ou
good roads depends our indus

GOOD ROADS.
An Automobile Route Proposed
From New York to Atlanta
Prizes Offered For Best
Roads.

The New York Herald and The
Atlanta Journal are conducting a
campaign for an automobile route
from New York to Atlanta. The
object is to crystalize enough
sentiment and money to improve
a continuous chain Of public
roads from New York to Atlanta
in order that an automobile may
be successfully driven any day
in the year over these roads.
Neither the State nor the Fed
eral Government has any money
to appropriate toward the con-
struction of these roads at pres
ent, so it is to the local county
and township authorities ir
charge of the roads that the
matter appeals. 1t is not un
reasonable to suppose that a
some future time State an,

E public roads, and the localit

upon true philosophy that all men

sought to guard against it from the

maintained, that a free people are

gives us a nation of the strongest and
most virile men, equal to any emer

ways proclaimed that the govern

well defined powers, not broader than
required, having due regard to the
self-bias of man and his seltishness, ,
and that that government is best
