LEE FALLS IN LINE.

One of the most progressive
Of the progressive communities
of Southwest Virginia is Lee
county, which is populated by
some of the best people in the
world.
A few days ago Wise county
voted practically unanimously
in favor OF issuing $7O0.OOO in
bonds for the porpose OF build
ing a system Of good roads. Lee
county, which adjoins Wise.
has now voted Overwhelmingly
for a bond issue Of S364. 900 for
the same purpose. That means
that over a million dollars will
be invested in modern highways
IA these two counties-and the
money could not be expended
60 better advantage. Every
dollar put in good roads yields
rich returns 10 the community
making the investment.
The advantages OF good roads
extend 10 every ciiizen. whether
he live IN city or country; and
20 every enterprise, whether il
be agricultural. manufacturing.
or mining. But there are other
elements Of advantage which
urgently recommend the i'm
provemen; Of the roads. as
pointed out by Logan Waller
Page, of the Department Of
Agriculture. Most Of the cities
and towns have good streets
and drlveways. which facilitate
business and recreation. The
people live close together. and
social and friendly intercourse
Is easy The schools and church
IS are within easy reach of all.
SO, the urban population has
ample facilities for business.
for recreation, for social inter
course, and for attendance upon
church and school
u is different, however. with
the two thirds Of the people
who are engaged in agricultural
pursuits and live away from the
ceDters Of business and popula-
ton. They live apart from each
other and have no roads such as
afford easy and convenient
means of transacting business, I
of social intercourse, and regu-
lar attendance upon church and |
school. Improved roads will /
bring them in closer touch with I
the centers OF progress, and will 4
assist them TO keep step with 4
the march of progress along
other lines And as they al I
vance, so Will our civilization
advance. As they advance, so
will the entire country advance.
For a long time the good /
roads movement in Virginia
consisted chiefly OF talk. But
active work is now beginning.
with the great Southwest in the
lead, and Wise and Lee coun-
ties setting the pace. In a few
days Scott county will vote on
the question Of building $780, \
200 worth of good roads, and
there is little doubt that that
county will emulate the worthy
OF Lee and Wise.

little doubt that she will follow
the example of her neighbors,
Wise and Lee, and vote the
bonds with a whoop- The Re-
pu blican representative in
Congress and the authorities at
Washington and the Democratic
state highway commissioners
and authorities at Richmond
will combine to urge the Scott
people on and prove 20 them
where their interest is. This is
good. When we have before us
matters directly affecting the
interests and welfare of the
people and of Virginia. all of us
should forget politics and work
and pull together. This good
roads movement, coming with a
rush and with impressive fig
ures from the Southwest, will
sweep through the State. We
hope to see county after county
fail into line. As Virginia be-
comes a State of good roads she
will become a State more and
more holding her own people at
home Roanoke Times.

The farmer, IL he only knew
It, is a little nearer the kingdom
of heaven than anyone on
earth. He is certain of three
square meals a day, and is the
only man who can fence him
self in and live in spite of the
rest of mankind. A few cattle
and sheep and fowls provide
him with food and clothing.
while his fields yield him flour
and source Of revenue. SO
generous are these provisions
and SO common. that hardly one
farmer in ten makes any ac-
count Of them. although the
ordinary business man thinks
he has done well when he
reaches the end of the year and
finds that he has a little more
than made ends meet.

GOOD ROADS.
BY II. II. Kinney }

A national good roads advocate.
in a recent speech, said he had
travelled all over the United States
advocating good roads, that he had
never known of proposed bond
issue for road building where the
incorporated towns would get any
of the roads, that he had never
known the citizens Of an incorpora-
ted town to oppose a bond issue for
good roads, and that he had rarely
found a county where the farmer
did not oppose it. The speaker
said that he had never been able to
fathom the farmers opposition
This il said rejecting on the
farmers intelligence his lack of pro-
gress, his lack of home pride. Many
farmers go to Memphis. Birming
ham and other cities. They, like
all others compare them with other
cities they know. We wonder If
it ever occurred to them how these
cities were Quilt. If the citizens of
the towns and cities had baked at
bond issue. they would be the
laughing stock of the country.
Every street that is paved, every
side walk, every>city building. all
the school buildings. the water
works, the electric lights. We're con-
structed by means of money raised
from a bond issue. The extension
