Popular Odd Fellow.

Condensed From Sunday News.
There were certain incidents in
connection with the list anniversary
convention on Wednesday last, Feb
ruary %, or South Carolina lodge, No.
1, Independent Order of Odd Fellows,
which are of state-wide interest.
First to be mentioned is the pres
ence thereat Of his Excellency, Cole
man Livingston Blease, the newly
elected governor of South Carolina,
who is a past grand master Of the Or
der and one Of the most enthusiastic
and popular Odd Fellows Of the State.
The reception to Gov. Blease was
sincere and was reciprocated by him
in words of earnestness and good
cheer. To the visit and address Of
Gov. Blease Mr.. John D. Cappelmann.
from the ranks of Marion lodge, fit
tingly responded after opportunity
had BEEN given for every one of the
large number to personally meet and
shake hands with their brother Odd
Fellow as the governor of South Caro-
lima.
1t was regretted by all that owing
to other engagements Governor Blease
was obliged to leave before the COM
pletion of the. evenings programme,
the presentation of the jew
ell already mentioned, to the retiring
grand master of South Carolina, Will
son G. Harvey

there is little if any excuse for the ex~
istence of bad roads.

there is little if any excuse for the ex~
istence of bad roads.
The interest of the postoflce depart
ment in the good roads question is
paramount, for the reason that Al ,O33
of its rural mail carriers are daily
travelling more than one million
miles of roads. In the course Of a
year these carriers travel upward OF
100000, 900 miles, so that the interest
which the department. has in the mat
ter Of the improvement Of highways
naturally follows. In maintaining
rurs7 delivery many millions Of dol
lars are spent each year, and the
postofice department expects Of the
benefciaries Of the service THAT they
will maintain the highways in such
condition as to insure the daily de-
livery of mail with ease, celebrity, GER
tainty and safety. If they fail to do
so, then the service is withdrawn. As
a result Of the departments insistence
on good roads (and by this I do not
necessarily mean roads of the highest
improved type), and its cooperation
with State highway officials, good
roads associations, and individuals
concerned in the question, it is. be-
lieved that during the past five or six
years greater interest has been en-
gendered i'm the good roads question,
more work accomplished, and money
appropriated and expended, than dur
ing any other like period in the coun-
try's history. It is the desire Of the
department that every postmaster and
every rural letter carrier shall not
only constitute himself an apostle OF
good roads and spread the propagan-;S
da, but that they shall by their works
arouse interest and emulation in 9TH
ers. Many postmasters and rural let.
ter carriers have been instrumental
in forming good roads clubs and as
sociations, the result of which has
been vast improvement in the COM Z
dition of highways and, in several
notable Incidents, the appropriation of
enormous sums of money for the re-.
building and improvement of entire
county highway systems. - I'll.
While these improvements have
been of the greatest benefit to the
rural delivery service, the direct and
indirect benefit to the farmers and
other rural residents has been incal
culable. -;... IT. .:..
/ am glad to note that throughout
the entire South, where, on the aver
age, the farmers are more remote
from railroads than in any sections 5f
tie country, the people are awakened
to the necessity for and the advantage :
Of good roads, and are voic1ng this
interest by the enactment Of up-to-
date highways and the selection OF
men Competent to carry ON the con-
tempiated work. Il ..1l.s.

A Special Communication From AS.
siStant Postmaster DeGraW.

S1St0ub ! DCUIdNs
Assistant Postmaster General De-
GraW, who is an enthusiastic advo-
cate of good roads, in discussing re-
GENTLY the question of good roads and
their relation to the rural delivery
service, said:
OF all the perlexing economic
questions With which the farmers are
confronted, there is probably none of
more importance to them, and which
until recently has been so generally
treated with Indifference, than that of
good roads. They have come to rea-
hze to considerable degree that the
agricultural methods pursued by their
forefathers are obsolete and unprofi-
table; that agriculture is "a science,
and are learning through the publica-
tlons and teachings 81 the national
department of agriculture, State de-
partments of agriculture and agricul-
tural colleges, how to farm properly.
But it is regretted that too many far
mers concern themselves but little, if
any, with the question of good roads,
and are content to put up with the
same muddy, stony, rutted reads that
have existed ever since the country
was settled. ...-
s!range as 1t may seem, farmers
fail to appreciate the value Of good
roads to them in the material sense Of
enabling them to get their products
to market at any time during any sea-
Son of the year with ease and facility
and with minimum wear and tear Oh
their animals and wagons. As it is,
when the roads are poor farmers are
unable to take advantage of the best
market prices, but can only do their
hja1ling during the dry season or
when the roads are dried Out, The
saving in the cost Of horses where the
roads are improved is enormous, for
good roads undoubtedly prolong the
usefulness of horses at least one
third. /
One of the greatest difficulties con-
fronting those who are concerned in
he improvement of highways is to en-
gender interest in the subject and Sc
cure the cooperation and support of |
he people generally, for it is only
through concerted action that any
beneficial or permanent results. can
'e attained. Then again, millions of
tollars are wasted each year in doing
little work on a great many miles
If roads, instead of thoroughly i'm
proving a few miles, and worse than
his, by pursuing slipshod and un-
scientific methods.
I appreciate the fact that but few
# the counties throughout the Union
re financially able to undertake the
'uilding Of the highest class macadam
oads, but this should neither dis
ourage nor deter them in their ef-
orts to procure good roads, through
he use of the split-log-drag and SIM
lar economical appliances for grad
ng and ditching roads. Instructions
r advice on road building or mate
ials may be had from the Depart
lent of Agriculture, Bureau of Pub
ic Roads, Washington, D. c.. and a
killed highway engineer will, under
ertain conditions, be detailed to fur
ish practical demonstration of road !
uilding. Besides, the various State
ighway commissions and boards are
II ready and willing to lend their aid {
