GOOD ROADS At
A SMALL cost
E. A. spinks viii Try Out His
PIow Near Toomsuba At
Early Date.

Meridian, Miss, June ga. E.
Spings has a plan whereby he believes
he has solved the problem of making
permanent road repairs and reducing
the cost Of maintenance to much
smaller figure than is now being ex-
pended on the county roads, which, he
states, only makes the roads fit for
temporary use, as they deteriorate in
to the same bad condition when heavy
traffic passes over them. Mr. Spinks
will shortly build a demonstration
road near Toomsuba for the purpose
of putting his ideas into practical use.
Mr.. Spinks states that the county Is
now expanding s25. 900 yearly on roads
in this county, making only temporary
repairs. He believes this amount can
be reduced and the repairs made per-
manent, instead Of only temporary I'M
provement, which Is cut into ruts by
the heavy wagons.
He advocates the sand and clay road
being made permanent with a drag.
The cost of building sand and clay
roads he gives as about $3.50 per mile.

GOOD ROADS AS
ALLY OF CHURCH
Shows Where Country With Good
Roads is More Law-Abiding and
Religious Than WtIds.

Starke, Fla, June %, Rev, E. J.
Gates preached a powerful sermon at
the Methodist church Sunday on the
subject of Good Roads and was by far
the best address on that subject de-
livered In Starke. He introduced the
subject by reading several passages of
Scripture referring to that subject and
sounded the keynote to the whole sub
ject by saying: Public highways are
an index of civilization" and damages
resulting from bad roads greatly re-
tards civilization"
Among other things, the preacher
said:
"The people in mountain places
where there are no roads are 100
years behind the times. Moonshine
whiskey here finds its home. Our duty
is to build good roads to our churches,
to schools, to markets, so that the peo-
pie can go to church, the children to
schools and each in turn thus caused
to look up and thereby improve our
citizenship. AS we build good roads
we increase national wealth and our
own health, prosperity and years of
life.
To-day many in Europe are travel
ing over roads built by the Roman en-
peror to send his legions of soldiers.
These roads were built to last in early
times. When king wished to visit
some other part of his kingdom large
force was sent on before to make a
good road for him to travel. These
roads afterward became highways
along which the gospel of Christ has
been carried to many parts of the
world.
'In our country the pioneer followed
the Indians trail and roads followed
and then peace and prosperity follow
ed in its train. The hills should be
leveled with purity and the valleys of
sin filled up, crooked ways made
straight, when our country will bios.
som as a rose, churches and schools
be filled, highways of peace and pros
perity abound.
God uses the material things of the
world to enhance the spiritual.
MAY all these roads lead to the wei
fare of mankind and to the honor and
glory Of God"
