IMPORT MEN
TO BUILD ROAD
General DUPONT Unable to Get
WOrkmen Down State
for Project
HOPES TO FINISH
TWENTY MILES SOON

After having tried unsuccessfully
for several weeks to get men from
down the state to work on the con-
struction OF the proposed boulevard
through Sussex county, General T.
Coleman dupont has come to the con-
clusion that he will have to get men
from Wilmington. Philadelphia and
other places to do tho road building.
and he Is now arranging for force
Of Italians and other laborers to be
sent from Philadelphia TO Georgetown
and other places through Sussex
county along the right of way Of the
highway.
For more than month signs have
been placarded over Sussex county
offering employment TO men in the
construction of the DUPONT road. The
signs have been placed on telephone
poles, on fences. In various towns and
even on the front and back of the au-
tomobiles used by General DUPONT and
his stan OF engineers and surveyors.
Judging from the few responses, Il is
evident that most OF the people down
the state are employed or those who
are not employed do not wish work
for there have not been many re-
sponses. One reason given is that
many men prefer TO work about the
farm to working on the boulevard
Many are willing TO take Jobs as

The South and Raw Materials
By savoy. ARD in Nashville Banne,

South the most opulent and the most
populous part of the terrestrial globe.
The Grad to that goal is free trade, as
nearly as possible, in competitive ar
ticles, and tariff for revenue only in
non-competitive communities, that are
finished product ready for the ulti-
mate consumer.
Now | maintain, and defy all the
world in the quarrel, that a tariff
levied on raw materials works multi
tudinous evils, chiefest of which is the
postponement of the time when the
South shall surpass the North in the
manufacturing line. If the dogma of
protection is to be adhered to, which
is this, only this, that we shall manu-
facture for 90,000,000 Americans and
leave the markets of the other 1,500,-
100000 human beings of our planet to
England, Germany, France, Belgium,
Holland and other enlightened nations,
we already have manufactures suffi-
Gent for the purpose, and to construct
duplicates at the South would be like
sending two men to pillow one furrow
or two boys to plant one grain.
Let me tell you true story and al
together apt for my purposes herein.
Many years ago there lived in old Ken
lucky David L. Graves, native and to
the manner born. He was almost an
exaggerated Peveril of the Peak, fiery
impetuous, honest. obstinate, dogmatic
and some other things. He leased the
Mammoth Cave property and in those
days his tavern was famous for its ia.
BILE, and tourists of every tongue and
people fiocked there from all quarters
of the globe.
The railway station was nine miles
to the east, and the stage line was
ownd by Andy Mccoy. a Highland
Scotchman, about as volcanic and We
hement man as Graves himself. The
year round the stage line brought
travellers to the cave and they were
the guests Of Graves tavern. Some
times they numbered as many as a
hundred day, all of whom paid toll
to Graves for a trip through the cave
and all Of whom slept under his roof
sat at his table, and drank at his bar
AS was inevitable, Graves and Nc
Coy fell out, and 1t was bitter feud
resulting in the stage coachman's
planting pistol ball in the cave man
ayers leg. Before that encounter
however, Graves, to plague Mccoy
constructed an impossible fence a
quarter of mile from the tavern, and
his purpose was to prevent the stage
coach full of guests for his own hote
from driving up to his door. The re
suit was the tourists were necessitat
ed to walk a 'quartaer of mile be

What GOOD ROADS have

only the feasibility but the great nee
essity for building a first class drive
way from Jackson to Gulfport.
If those two cities were connected
by such highway as any one of the
SO that connect Los Angeles with as
many cities, towns, ranches, orchards
or vineyards, it would advertise the
state in general and South MISSISSIPPI
pi in particular more than anything
ever yet accomplished by the commun-
tiles that would be affected by its con.
struction.
There have been many things that
were just about to happen in the Hat
tiesburg district from time to time,
for quite number of years, but it
has always so happened that it did not
happen, being talked to death before
undertaken. If Jackson, Hattiesburg
and Gulfport will go to work and
build such highway as indicated and
then talk about the highway after it
is QUILT, with just half the persistency
that they have failed to produce tangi-
BILE results with vapor baths, each
will reap benefits that will richly re-
ward its enterprising spirit.
The writer is aware that Mississip-
pi is just now in the throes of agita-
ton over providing places for her
chronic and casual office-seekers, be-
fore which, good roads and all other
material development schemes pale
into insignificance, but when the
agony is over, with he hopes, sur
vival of the fittest, he hazards the
wish that the good roads movement
will be accorded the encouragement
and support its Importance deserves.
