One of the oldest books in exis-
tence is a collection of proverbs by
Ptahbotop, an Egyptian, who lived
somewhere about the time of Abra-
ham. Among his injunctions is the
following, which we commend to the
writer's on woman's emancipation, do
nestle economy, and other popular
topics, who may think that the sub
jects which they discuss are fresh and
suggested by the increased intelli-
gence of modern civilization IF thou
be wise, furnish thy house we'll; WOO
thy wife and do not quarrel with her;
nourish her; deck her out, for fine
dress is her greatest delight. Purpose
to make her glad as long as thou
Invest She is a blessing which her
possessor should treat as becomes his
own standing. Be not unkind to her"
This counsel is none the less useful
at the present day, because $500 years
have elapsed since it was given.

Each school house contributing

The money to be raised will be free

their duty in this matter.
The unveillng of this monument

Confederate Veteran IN this county

GOOD ROAD BUILDING G
Editor of the Star Herald:

Editor of the Star Herald:
BY your permission kindly allow
me space in your valued paper, l
want to give the good people of
Randolph county some road gospel.
| have Just commenced to heat the
iron and you know if / am to get it
hot, | must keep blowing.
A good road is first made by prop
er grading and cleaning and then
kept good by preserving these con
ditions. Any kind of road requires
maintenance. The crown must be
kept round and smooth, so that
water will not be left standing in
the tracks to soak in and make a
mud road.
The effect of the drag Il mention
ed in my former article in earth
road maintenance, is to put on Just
enough sell to fill all holes cuts or
Pocahontas star herald., 1911-04-28

end Of the drag. The short end Of
sIsssas hitch chain is passed through al
't{. ~ hole near the center line an6
end of the cutting or ditch end OF
of the front slab.
The drag should be hauled at an
angle OF As degrees with the line
of the road. The action of the
drag is regulated by the length of
the hitch chain. Slipping it back
ward and forward through the hole
at the ditch end of the front
slab regulates the hold taken
o n the earth shortening the
chain lightens the draft of the drag.
The position of the snatch hook
to the doubletrees, hitching the hook
close to the ditch end and standing
near the front end of the drag regu.
lates the cutting effect. The cut
ting, carrying and spilling capacity
of the drag is also more or less reg.
ulated by the position of the driver
on the platform of the drag.
Now three mistakes to avoid in
connection with the drag:
Don't make drag too big for
two horses to handle. If you do ii
will be doing the work of grader
not the work of drag.
Don't put a tongue to the drag.
The tongue is about as useful to a
drag as the third leg would be to a
man. Another mistake to avoid is
cot using the drag enough. The
drag, to be most effective, should be
used often and should move but lit
tie earth at each dragging, and If
you make one don't make the com
mon mistake. of letting 1t rot to
pieces at the roadside or in the fence
corner.
The editors proposition In the
Star Herald of April l4th, Is alright
for the initiative step. But every
thing must have a head or leader,
and we must organize so as TO main
tain the roads after they are made,
as he proposes, or that work will be
useless.
Now fellow-citizens wake up,
'get the road fever" and let's all be
up and dong, Respectively,
w. A. Owen.

STINSON WRITESOF
CONffD. MONUMENT

Mr.. John A. Stinson of the
Columbus Marble works of Colum-
bus, Miss, submits the following
article relative to the monument
which is to be erected in Pocahon-
tas to the memory of the confeder
ate dead:
The monument is to he handsome,
surmounted by Confederate Soldier
in full dress, is 20 feet, inches
high and is very massive in design.
The sum of $4,000 was suhscrib.
ed at the meeting and it was decid.
ed to allow any veteran, or son Of
veteran, who desired to do so, to
place his fathers name, regiment
and company on monument, who
would pay the sum of $4,000 to the
monument fund. Three o f the
veterans present took advantage Of
this proposition and subscribed, an
other gentleman present, subscriJ ed
So 90.
Mr.. James Jackson was appointed
chairman of the finance committee
and he was authorized to name his
helpers, which he will do later. He
hopes to have sufficient sum of
moneyon hand by fall to pay for the
monument.
Within the next ten days, will
be exhibited in various places in
Pocahontas, photographs of monu-
ment. On front piece Of monument
is Confederate flag, underneath this
the inscription: "To the noble
men who marched meath the flag of
Stars and Bars aud were faithful to
1 b e end" Underneath this is,
Erected by the Eli Hufstedler
Camp Of Confederate Veterans,
No. 447, in Pocahontas Ark, and
their friends. The name of every
Confederate Veteran who enllste d
from Randolph county, or any other
who contributes to this fund, is to
be written upon the scroll and put
in corner stone of monument, along
with the history Of the ConfederacY,
as written by Jefferson Davis. In
addition to this the name of every
school child in the county who will
contribute as much as cents and
sign their name on list, from every
school, Will also have their name
placed in the corner stone. Prof.
w. F. Spikes was appointed chair

The maintenance of the road is as
essential to a good farm as the main
tenance of the fences on the place.
The road drag is the best imple-
ment known to day for earth road
maintenance.
If we ever get our earth roads
well graded and put under NAM
tenance with the drag we will have
good, practical country roads at
minimum cost.
To make an earth road and then
not touch it for year is not main
tanning but rebuilding.
If the same amount of cost and
energy required TO annually rebuild
our roads was distributed through
out the whole year in proper drag
ging, the same roads would get bet
ter all the time.
If a continuous system of main
tenance was adopted it would result
in better condition of the roads
and frequently prevent the entire
undoing of work already done.

tinually tearing the roads and fire.

eternal vigilance" is the price
of good earth roads.
The time to use the drag is when
the surface Of the road is moist but
not wet, and as often as the road
needs dragging.
In this climate the bulk of the
dragging should be done IN the
winter and spring months. Soils
will pack and bake harder If work.
ed when wet. If 1t were possible
to do 50, the best time to drag is in
the slush and rain. But some soils
we have would stick to the drag If
too wet and it would not be very
pleasant to drag in the mud. Diff
ferent soils require different treat
ment.
The largest highway mileage Of
the county will be earth roads for q
long time, even at very rapid -pTs;
gress in road building, and in the
meantime the most improvement
possible should be put on the earth
roads. Well maintained earth roads
with good bridges and culverts will
solve a big problem in our road
difficulties.
There are just two ways in which
to get effective results in road drag.

methods are based ON organization.

The leader has direction over a
