every citizpn of Mississippi that a
little time be spent by each one in
writing personal letters to friends in
other states, advising of the splendid

Mississippians now reside in other

Mr.. D. II. WinSlOW.

Mr.. Winslow said he was glad TO
see the ladies present. He believed if
see the ladies present. He believed if
the ladies had been back of the move
ment we would have had good roads
before this. He said there were many
simple devices by which the roads
might be improved. He gave clear
illustration of simple device to get
rid of holes and depressions and
bumps in the road, known as the IT .
He also illustrated the King split-log
drag, which has proved Of incalculable
value wherever it has been used, and
which can be made by any one and
used by any one. He said the split
log drag could be made for about $3.50.
Steel drags, he said, We're being manu-
factured for abolt S35, but the log
drag was better He strongly urged
the use and the continuous use of this
drag. One dragging would not make
boulevard, but enough dragging
would. The location of a road, he
said, was the most permanent thing
done by man, and it was of the utmost
| importance that a road should be
properly located. He urged competent
supervision in locating and building
roads. II people would realize, he
said, that broken wagons and buggies
and harness and CALLED mules are
nearly always the result of bad roads
and that they were paying an enor-
nous mud tax> which would soon
build their roads many times over
they would soon wake up to the i'm
! portance of the road question. His ad-
dress was interspersed by timely anec-
dotes and was frequently interrupted
by applause. His plan of road build
ing was, on motion, endorsed and ap,
proved by the convention, especially
the simple devices which he mention,
ed, and the carriers pledged themsel'
YES to urge their use. The Daily Rec
ord was heartily thanked for its in
terest in the subject of roads and il

Good Roads Discussion.

President Wicker said if there was
anything dear to the hearts of the
rural carriers it was good roads, and
he took pleasure in introducing Mr.. c..
Wardlaw Moorman, of the Columbia
Daily Record, to open the good roads
discussion under the auspices of that
newspaper. Mr.. Moorman said the
Record had demonstrated its interest
in good roads, as in all other live ques-
tions of the day, by sending our tour
ing cars last summer in the interest
of capital-to-county highways, and
was now sending two cars throughout
the State in the interest of improved
highways. 1t was peculiarly gratify-
ing, he said, that the Record had been
able to open it's campaign at this meet
ing of the carriers. He said this was
the time to strike, while the iron was
hot, and to Go something while the
opportunity was at hand. He introduce
ed Mr.. D. H. Winslow, United States
superintendent of road construction,
of the Office of public roads, who had
been detailed by that Office to accom-
pany the campaigners throughout the

fective wherever used. On the Gues-
tion Of salaries, he said he had voted
for every proposed raise of salary
since ne was elected. and said he had
made a study OF the postal service and
hoped he knew something about 1t, and
he had been able to help. He said he
had introduced a bill for the past two
years to make the salary $1,000, be-
lieving this would put all the carriers
on an equality. The bill was favorably
reported by the postoffice committee
by a vote of : to 9. He voted against
the Miller amendment, he said. because
it's proposition to appropriate S6,000,-
900 additional for the support of the
service could not change the existing
general law, and therefore could not
be used to increase the salaries of the
carriers, and the additional amount was
not needed for the general postal ser
vice. He then put IN his bill as an
amendment, but without unanimous
consent an appropriation bill could
not change existing law, and a single
objection defeated his amendment.
President Wicker wanted to know how
the salaries of the carriers could be
increased without increasing the ap-
preparation. Mr. Finley replied that
there would first have to be a law
passed fixing the salaries, and he had
introduced such a bill, as had scores
Of others. a question as to why it
was so much easier to increase sal
aries of city carriers was greeted
with applause. Congressman Finley
said that three years ago, when the
law was passed increasing the salaries
Of rural carriers to 5000 per year, a
law was passed, which had not since
been changed, starting the city car
rfers at. a small salary month, and
increasing them yearly.
