good roads An effort viii also
be made TO secure the services
of p. st. ]. Wilson, State high
way commissioner, 70 deliver
several lectures on the subject
in different parts Of the county.
Several local speakers are ex-
pected TO take an active part IN
the campaign and address the
voters at every precinct in the
county.
The petition for the election
calls for the improvement of
approximately lao miles Of
road, which will traverse prac-
tically every part Of the county.
The question Of good roads is
of great interest 20 the farmers,
as they will afford excellent
facilities for marketing their
crops and will increase the
value of land at least so per
cent. The county at present
has a very poor system of roads
and what little money spent for
their Improvement from year
TO year is practically wasted
and very little benefit IL realized
by the taxpayers from the pres
ent road levy.
People who never have had
the privilege of using good ma
cadam roads are a little slow in
seeing their value, but by an
earnest effort on the part OF the
leading citizens, their irdiifer-
ence in the matter is being
changed into enthusiasm and
the issue will most likely carry
with but few dissenting votes.

COAL MINING SITUATION
