Eight BALES ON WAGON
IN PLACE OF THREE
Teams Haul Larger Loads to
Market Now

That all roads-gOOd rcads-!ead to
Americas, is a fact, and that these
good roads are conducive in bring
ing cotton to Americus is another
fact. Farmers who, perhaps, patroniz-
ed other markets in years agone now
bring their cotton bales to this, the
best market, and reached by the best
roads.
For good roads mean a saving in
transportation and impose a less bur
den upon stock. Then, too, larger
loads are hauled than before, with the
same teams.
Evidence of this fact was given yes
terday when a farm wagon, loaded
with eight bales cotton and drawn by
two mules, came to one of the ware
houses here. Thus, two mules that in
former years pulled three bales cot
ton at load, can now pull eigh
bales on a good road
Certainly no greater argument in
favor of good roads can be required
than is here set forth.
Only a day or two ago a good roads
advocate in Americas called attention
to a line of five wagons, each drawn
by team of two mules, at one of the
warehouses. One wagon held five
bales, two held six bales each, one sew
en- and the other eight bales Of cot
ton.
Thus, the five wagons brought thir-
ty-two bales of cotton weighing 500
pounds or more each. In former years
the years of poor roads in Sumter
three bales per wagon would have
been a full load.

and state contests. Boys should write
to county school superintendent and
