GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION

Rcbeson County Good Roads
Association ORGANIZED in
Lumb erton Saturday,
State Geologist Pratt Ad-
dresses Good Roads Meeting
A Start for Real Good
Roads Work.
The Robson County Good
Roads Association of North Caro-
hna- sounds good, Doesn't it?
That is what Was organized in
Lumberton. Saturday and the fol-
lowing officers We're elected: A.
j. Mckinnon of Maxton, presi-
dent; w. S. Cobb Of Lumber
Bridge, vice president; A. 3.
White of Lum berton, secretary
treasurer. The executive COM
mittee, to be selected later, will
ue composed OF one member from
each township in the county.
With two minor changes relating
to the number of members OF the
executive committee, the consti-
tuition recommended in the good
roads circular issued by the North
Carolina Geological and Economic
Survey was adopted.
Briefly, the above is what was
accomplished at the good roads
meeting held in Lumberton Satur-
day after an address on good
roads by DR.. Joseph Hyde Pratt,
State Geologist and president of
the Southern Appalachian Good
Roads Association. AS announced
in The Robesonian, the call for
this meeting was issued by Mr..
A. E. White as chairman Of a
committee appointed at a good
roads meeting held in Lumber
! ton September last for the pur-
pose Of getting DR.. Pratt to ad-
dress a meeting and organize a
good roads association. Owing
to the fact that a two-Weeks'
term of court had just closed the
meeting was not as we'll attended
as it otherwise would have been,
| out those present are very much
in earnest about this subject Of
good roads, all joined the associa-
ton, andssthis organization gives
a starting point for work which
will result in untold good to the
county.
Mr.. White called the meeting
to order, was made permanent
chairman, and introduced DR..
Pratt.
DR.. Pratt showed at the outset
of his remarks that good roads
are OF more Importance to- the
rural sections than to the towns,
and he thinks that the i>est re-
suits canEvt be obtained With ,l=
township system Robesoil coun>y
has; it is not just to the C c.u..ly
DIS Whole, lur some townships
are not aDle to do much work,
and it costs more for machinery,
etc. He thinks that the roads vi
this countysmay be improved lO(
to zoo per cent. with the proper
sort OF work. We do no5 neec

necessary for building them. The
