mo to make new road laws was
Gerted to enforce the present
mad law, there would be a great
deal more work done and our
roads would be in much better
ambition. Allow me to say, If
yOu WILL, that NO ROAD LAW
GAN BUILD ROADS. If we had
the most perfect law that human
brain was capable of placing on
the statute books, it would not
build roads, neither would it meet
With the approval of the people,
Inless public sentiment was in
favor of good roads. To illus
tate this, let us look at our adj
Joining State of Tennessee, who
has passed and placed on their
statute books the Lest law which
the brains of the State could
mould to prohibit the sale of
VhiSkey. I have recently been in
the city of Memphis, Tenn, and on
almost every corner the bar room
doors were wide open and the
Ehiskey was still ON the shelves
any person could buy what they
wanted at any time. This is true
because the public sentiment of
the people was not in favor of the
law prohibiting the sale of whisk-
ey. Such would certainly be true
of the road law which was not fa-
VOred by public sentiment.
As said before, no road law can
build roads, however perfect the
law may be. It takes brains,
money and muscle to build good
roads, and if the people of Hen
derson county will get public SEN
hment in favor of good roads,
these things will be furnished.
At the court house, last We'd
neSday, Judge Ewart called a
MEETING of the citizens of the
county to discuss ways and means
improving our roads and road
law. At the opening Of this meet
ing it was announced that Hen
arSon county had the poorest
roads of any county in the wes-
Tern part of the state, and that
some steps should be taken to i'm
prove them. Then it was an
aOmced that the subjects to be
discussed at the meeting were !:
S't, To exempt from road duty all
'ue boys between the ages of IS
ua Il. The next subject was to
reduce the number of days labor
" De performed on the public
roads from 6 to 3 days, and the
nird subject, as to whether it was
'uVlSable for Henderson county
~ maintain the chaingang, and
loQrth whether it would be advis-
'Ole to do away with the free la
pOr system and keep up our roads
" taxation and the contract sys-
'ln' In my opinion, if these
assures were passed the meeting
os held would not be. a Good
= uOads meeting, but a bad o1fe-
