there is any likelihood of our securing

to that point, at least. If there is
found to be any reasonable hope that
the government road can be had every
energy should be bent in that direc-
ton. If, on the other hand, it is clear

no likelihood of the government build

so to other national parks-then Sum-
ter county should turn it's energies
toward the immediate improvement of
the ten miles stretch of road now con-
Meeting Americas and Andersonville
Considerable of this road is already in
fairly good shape, some of it is not so,
| but once the full force of a hundred
conyicts are turned loose upon it it
can be speedily made into fine high

and Plains roads. A fine highway is
needed traversing that section of the

ton the coming spring or summer, if

will be killing two birds with one
stone, benefitting the entire section of
county between here and Anderson
Vile and putting ourselves in posi-
ton where we can use the drive to
Andersonville and the historic inter
ests centering there as one of the at
fractions of Americas to tourists.
This is matter that should be
pushed vigorously. 1t is certainly
easily possible to ascertain how the
government looks upon the matter of a
road from here to Andersonville park
and cemetery. Congressman Hughes
should be able to get line on tho
views of the officials in this respect.

THE ROAD TO ANOERSONVIlLE.

The national park and cemetery 1T
Andersonville are to be among the
drawing cards that Americas can and
will use in bringing tourist travel TO
this city Hundreds of people from
the North and the West visit the place
during the course of a year, and the
number would be greatly increased if
it were known that fine hotel accom-
modations were to be had within a
few minutes auto run, and that there
were other attractions in the vicinity
that would render a stay of at least a
few days to fortnight pleasure to
the traveller.
For this reason the proposed road
from Americas to Andersonville has
recently assumed an entirely new sig
nificance, an Importance far beyond
what it originally held in the popular
estimation. If the government can ne
induced to build fine highway from
this city to the park and cemetery it
will be an element entering largely In
to the plans now under way to make
this city tourist point. These gov
eminent highways are superb exam
pies of road building, are maintained
at the point of perfection, and with
such a highway from here to Ander-

GOOD ROADS AS A TOURIST
FULLER.

When Sumter county began the
work of improving its main highways
it was with no thought of using them
as a means of inducing tourists to Wis
it Americas. The sole purpose the
progressive men in charge of county
affairs had was to improve the facil-
tiles for travel from one part of the
county to the other, to enable our
farmers to transport their crops
quicker and cheaper, to encourage set
Element nthe country districts by
furnishing better facilities for reacn-
ing the city and the smaller towns Of
the county That they have succeeded
in this is shown by the ease with
which large quantities of cotton and
other farm products are now hauled,
by the new and highly desirable white
settlers locating in the county, and by
the decided upward trend of values of
lands contiguous to the improved
highways. These were the things
sought and the results have more than
justified the expenditures.
But now new value is apt to be
added to the great road betterments
that have been in progress the past
two years and are still under way. The
pulling power of good roads when
tourist travel is sought is almost in
calculable. While no such considera-
ton was in the minds of those who
have so zealously prosecuted the good
roads work they could not have plan
ned any one thing better calculated to
bring tourist travel here. than the fine
system of country highways they
have already built or have now in con-
temptation. Tourists, all other things
being in any wise equal, naturally
seek that place where good roads fur
nish medium for outdoor life The
fine public avenues of Chatham county
have been the means of inducing many
travellers to stop over there en- route
for Florida and enjoy a few days au-
tomobiling or driving or riding. The
far-famed she'll and gravel roads of
that county are little better than the
Smithville road of Sumter county, or
the new Plains road will be when the
work on it is completed In fact for
automobiling some of the newly re-
constructed roads of Sumter county
are hard to excel In them we have
an asset that we are more prone, per-
haps, to underva1ue than to overesti-
mate. Properly exploited in our advar-
Using matter they will prove one of
the trump cards to play for tourist
travel. To the man who loves motor
ing, to the man who loves horse back
riding, or to the man who loves to
drive a good horse, the roads of Sum-
ter county will have charm that may
we'll prove irresistible.
We did not know when we began the
system of good roads of what great
value they would prove in this connec-
tom In fact the thought of making
this tourist point had not been
preached. But now we do realize
their value we can more than ever
feel satisfied with what has been done
and give additional encouragement
and fresh stimulus to their further eff
forts to build up system of country
highways in Sumter that will be sec
ond to none in the South.

That none doth build a stately habi-

But he that means to dwell therein.
What house more stately hath there

Dr. can be, than is Man? To whose
creation
All things are in decay.
Since then, my God, Thou hast
So brave a Palace built, o dwell in 1t
That it may dwell with Thee at last.

That, as the world serves us, we may
serve Thee,
And both Thy servants be.
