CERTAINLY, COLUMBIA.

We are surprised that the State
newspaper would by a big head line
give out the impression that the route
committee on Charleston-Asheyille
highway intended to, or did side track
Columbia. Nothing of that kind ever
entered the mind Of any member Of
the committee. It would have been
foolish to have selected road forty
six miles long as against one thirty
miles long and in view of the state
ment that the thirty mile road was cap
able of greater possibilities as good
road than the forty-six mile road
even though the latter was at present
the better road.
AS to the suggestion that tourists
will not have to pass through Colum-
bia if they come the State road from
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1911-07-11

ST. Matthews and the route via LeXing-
ton is adopted. it is absurd. They
would have to come to the city limits
practically and if they would not drive
in they would do no more than drive
through if they came the other road.
Of course. Columbia is on the off,
cial road and the most important point
between Charleston and Asheville (eX-
cept Newberry) and every one taking
an interest in this movement realizes
and appreciates the interest taken by
Columbia and what her people have
done for the improvement of our
roads. Without her cooperation this
movement for the Charleston-Ashe-
vile highway would scarcely have had
the interest that has been taken.
We want Columbia people to fell
that they are on the route and an i'm
portant factor in the development Of
the road. There is no one connected
We want Columbia people to feel
with the movement who has had any
other idea.

CARDS OF THANKS.

Persons desiring cards of thanks
published will save lots of trouble to
US and themselves and insure prompt
insertion by enclosing the money with
the card. We have adopted the low
rate Of twenty-five cents the inch,
which is about one-half cent a word,
and if you will count the words and
send money to cover at one-half cent
the word, it would save US bookkeep-
ing and save you trouble. We wish
we could print these without charge,
but we can not do so.

or special tax for permanent roads,
and the proposition was almost unani-
mously defeated. We were just little
ahead of the procession. Now, nearly
every county in the State has some
sort of permanent road fund. Then
the law had to appy to every county.
We just mention this to show what
writing editorials on good roads will
do. 1t educates. Yes, talk about roads,
even if you do bore some of your read
ers. Even if you encourage the filing
of only one mudhole your labor has
not been in vain. There is no greater
nor more important subject than road
building.
The farmers are not called to do
all the work, either. When you build
roads by taxation-and that is the
equitable plan-the towns and cities
and corporations bear the bigger por-
ton of the burden. And it is right they
should if they own the greater portion
of the property. And this class Of
property never objects to being taxed.
AS a rule the ones who pay the least
tax are the ones who object most to
being taxed. And they are the great
est direct benefciaries.
Another thing that the Press and
Banner should remember is that good
roads are necessary for other things
than automobiles and that the farmers
are not the largest contributors to the
building Of roads and as stated al
ready they should not be. It must be
said to the credit of the automobile
that it has been a great road builder
and its coming has greatly fastened
the era of good roads.
