WHAT BAD ROADS COST
now TO IMPROVE THEM

To show what we are paying
for bad roads, an extract from a
recent report on the United
States Senate Committee on
Agriculture, which has been
investigating this matter, may
be given:
cover the bads roads in the
United States, a team in the
worst hauling season ia able to
transport on an average only
about 500 or 200 pounds, while
IN France every good draft
horse is expected TO be able to
draw 3 1906 pounds a distance of
ISL miles any day in the year"
In spite of these facts the
United States only spends about
500, 000,0 year from all
sources on public road building.
We spend more than that on
our navy, more on our army,
and more for pensions TO sold
iers in these days of peace. We
have reached the point for ac-
ton, the time for mere talk has
passed.
In this connection we wish TO
again state that the Indifference
of the South to the value of the
split-log road drag is beyond
understanding 1t IL no longer
an experiment. It is cheap, and
consequently our only available
means of maintaining good
roads, and yet we ignore il
almost completely. We must
for generations depend on dirt
roads throughout the greater
part of the South. Hard sur
face roads are better, but too
expensive. in most sections, for
many years to come. In the
split log drag we have "A sim.
pie means of maintaining our
dirt roads in good condition al
"a triiling expense, after they
have been drained and shaped
and vet we refuse TO avail our
selves OF TINS proved method
Some have explained that the
reason is, that the drag is toe
simple. lt rs a fact that no one
can appreciate it's value who
/ has not seen IL properly used
but il does seem that we should
learn more quickly. If the split
log drag We're an experiment
there might bee some reason IN
the failure of our road authOri
ties 60 begin its use, but wher
any method has proved the bes
known, by years of eXtensiv,
trial, the failure TO adopt 10. 10y
those having the care of on
roads, is simply inexcusabl'

SUIT INVOLVING

A suit of much interest TO our

Iron Company, conveying the
Big Stone Gap furnace with its

the Big Stone Gap Iron Co, ali
the stock of which she claims
TO own. Mrs. Cohen loaned the
Union Iron and Steel Company
several thousand dollars i'm
1901, and took as security on
her loan all the stock of the Big
Stone Gap Iron Co. amounting
20 fifteen hundred shares of the
par value of 500 90 per share.
which stock was owned by the
Union Iron and Steel Company.
The Big Stone Gap Iron Co.
then conveyed the furnace plant
here direct TO the Union Iron *
Steel Co, and this practically
wiped out the stock.
Mrs. Cohen claims that the
transaction was fraudulent, and
that she Is entitled 90 have the
deed set aside even at this late
date. The case was decided in
April last by Judge Skeen. of
the Wise Circuit Court against

If there be one better way

Is for those who live in it TO go
about apologizing for its exist
snce. There are some who are
always ready 10 say, by their
actions at least, that this place
don't amount to much. They
will tell you that the town is
dead; that no one would think
of stopping here. that some
town adjacent is more respecta-
able, more enterprising has
better people, better enjoy
ments. as ahead of us in every
thing. This is all wrong. Even
IL IL be true, no one should ever
admit it. when it comes TO max
ing comparison. Every good
citizen of this town, should take
special local pride in all that
pertains 90 home. The schools,
the churches, the amusements,
the business, pleasures, the
picnics, the celebrations. in fact
everything should be looked on
by our own people as just as
good as can be gotten up else
where. The town that says
"we can" will always succeed.
The town that says, "Oh.
don't know, ! don't think it
will amount to much" is never
of much force. IL you have no
local pride, borrow some.
