IT is worthy Of note that while there
Is no appreciable weakening in the good
roads sentiment that has been built up
throughout the south within the past
fifteen or twenty years. now that the
period Of real action is developing, peo-
pie are giving the subject more careful
and serious consideration. A few years
ago, there seemed to be no other idea
than that thorough macadamiZation of
tine roads was the one great end to be
striven for; but that idea seems to be
losing ground. Although it is not to
be denied that many of the roads have
been greatly improved with macadam,
and 1t Is probably true that there has
been no occasion to regret any money
that has been spent en- macadam work,
it Is also true that 1t is beginning to
develop that macadam work Is not as
permanent as 1t was once generally be-
.ieved to be. Experience seems to have
taught that macadam will not stand
except where there mas been proper
grading and also that when macadam
begins to cut into ruts, 1t Is next to
impossible to properly repair it. The
;and and clay road has stood up nice
~ where it has been properly put
down; but a good deal Of money has
been wasted on experimental work of
this kind. But it is not to be under
stood that the subject is to be dismiss
ed because no satisfactory conclusion
has been reached. OF all the important
problems that confront the people Of
this country, tine good roads problem
IS one Of the greatest.

MOL ENOUGH PAY.

There are quite number OF schools
throughout the county that are unable
to find satisfactory teachers and there
was a noticeable diminution of the
number of candidates for certificates,
who presented themselves at the recent
special examination.
Those best acquainted with the sit
uation say that the scarcity Of teaach- n:
ers is due more than anything else to
the fact that the pay is not sufficient
to compensate the average teacher, un-
less the terms are longer than Il haq they
generally are. Rather thar take r
school for five or six months at s25 OF
$50 d month, most people who would
otherwise take positions as teachers
are inclined to look for steady employ
ment that will occupy their time during
the whole year, even at less monthly
salary.
The situation Is really serious one,
and the obvious problem needs to be
kept in the minds of the people until
it Is solved

IN his annual message to the general
assembly, read in the house and SEN
ate Immediately after the convening of
| those bodies, the governor briefly re-
viewed the administration Of the vari-
Gus departments of government and
reiterated several Of his previous rec
concentrations. Referring to the nee
essity that the state is under Of bor-
rowing five hundred thousand dollars
each year in anticipation Of tax collec-
tions, the governor repeats his recon-
mendation for the levy Of an extra half
mill tax to be continued until the sink
ing fund has been increased to the
point where it can make such loans as
will meet the requirements Of the pen
sion and other appropriations that nee
essitate borrowing. Referring to the
question of property assessment, the
governor recommends the abolition Of
the present state board Of equalization
and the creation Of an inquisitorial
board that will compel the assessment
of property at its real value. The mes
sa se reviews the educational system at
length and represents all the state in
stitutions to be in good condition. The
operation of the dispensary law that
was passed at the last session Of the
general assembly Is reviewed, and the
general assembly is advised that whis-
ky has been voted out Of all the coun-
ties, with the exception Of six. The
work of the winding-up commission Is
reviewed and the statement is that 1t
has turned over to the state the sum Of
two hundred and seventy-five thousand
dollars. There is recommendation
for the erection Of supreme court
building not to cost over thirty thou
sand dollars, on the state house
grounds, the money to be borrowed
from the sinking fund commission and
repaid at the rate of $1,000 year,
The past recommendations Of an in
crease in the salaries Of state officers
is repeated; The proposed amendment
to the constitution Of the United States
to be known as Article xvi" and pro-
viding that congress shall have the
power to levy an income tax is laid be-
fore the general assembly without
recommendatioa for ratification or re-
lection. Altogether the message Is
straightfefwafd and busipess-like and
contains a9 unusual or sensational

ONE of the great questions in wnicf
the people of this country should in
terest themselves is the extension OF
the market for American cotton goods
This is a matter with which the aver
age producer does not ordinarily con-
Germ himself. He does not figure be-
yond the question of selling his product
to the local buyer. But 1t has more
than once been UP to our people thai
the price of cotton has been held dowr
by lack of demand for manufactured
products. and it is a matter OF plain
common sense that with big demand
for all the manufactured products thai
can be turned out, there can be no linn
