Editor Citizen:
The day for better roads in the
Kentucky mountains has come. ID.
Ward King Of Missouri with his ia
nous split-log drag has invaded the
mountains by way Of Rowan County
and has not only convinced the peo-
pie by his eloquece that good roads
can be made without metal and with
out money but has actually demon
strated that IL can be done.
His coming was a part Of the pro-
gram Of the Rowan County
Institute. The citizens Of More
head, led by the Superintendent
Of schools, Mrs. Cora Wilson Stew
art, contributed the money for Sc
curing the services Of Mr.. King. the
farmers from all over the county
sSere invited and Mr.. King and the
split-log drag did the rest.
Wednesday was farmers day at the
institute and people came from every
part Of the county to learn how to
lift from their shoulders the heaviest
burden that the people of the high
lands have to carry--the burden Of
bad roads. The forenoon was occupi-
ed with regular institute work. A
large body Of farmers received instruc-
tions in seed testing and in other
phases Of practical farming; a round
table for teachers was conducted by
the instructor, T. J. Coates, on "How
to Make Rowan County Schools more
Eaicient"; twenty eight graduates Of
The citizen., 1913-07-31

the County Schools were awarded di-
plomas; Birdie Patton, a school girl,
received the silver loving cup given
by the State Department Of Agricul-
ture to the champion tomato grower
Of the State. In the afternoon Mr..
King spoke for more than two hours
20 a densely packed audience in the
court room-spoke TO farmers in
the language Of farmer and with
the experience Of a practical man Of
affairs. His address was simple but
eloquent and held the interest Of every
one till the last. Then he went out
on a street nearby where the split
log drag and team were waiting and
demonstrated in the presence of hun
dreds Of people who lined the street
how this simple device that any farm
er or farmers boy can make will
actually make bad roads good-and
make them so without money.
IL was a red letter day in the his
tory Of Rowan County and will no
doubt prove the same for all the
mountain counties. The condition OF
the roads in winter has been intoler-
able for so long and the burden of
taxation they lay upon the people has
been so heavy that all who live among
the highlands and all who travel thru
them will welcome the day when the
use of the simple split-log drag will
become universal over the region and
will remember with gratitude the en-
terpyising superintendent of Rowan
County schools for introducing it,
John +. Smith.

BETTERING COUNTRY LIFE
Lincoln and Other Boys From the
Farm.

A few weeks ago business took me
to Larue County, and, as ! passed
within a short distance of the old Lin
coin farm, ! turned aside to see the
soil and the cabin from which our
rail-splitting, slavery-smashing Presi-
dent came.
A large part of the Lincoln farm
is now under cultivation in none too
good crops. while there are patches
of briers and filth growing about that
might be the product Of husbandry
such as was credited to the name Of
Thomas Lincoln.
About the old homestead the hands
of art and science have produced
fine drawings, beautiful hedges and
smooth stretches of lawn. A tall flag
pole stands in the center Of gravel
circle at the foot Of the knoll. Some
rs feet above it, upon the top the
Lincoln cabin once protected the
family of which Abe was q member
from sun, wind and rain. That cabin
today stands where it did when it
was built, but now il is itself protect
ed from these same elements by a
beautiful building of Tennessee mar
BILE, with great copper doors to guard
il from harm. Where a narrow path
must have wound up from the spring
at the foot of the hill, two flights Of
broad stone steps, some thirty feet
wide, faxed by row of tall, we'll
kept lombardy poplars on either side,
invited me upward. The doors which
guarded the cabin were locked, but
the keeper who was trimming the
poplars was glad to escape the sun
and open them for me.
Inside was the cabin in the center
of the building. Small, low, rude with
mud daubing and stick chimney. 1t
was a striking contrast to the White
House, the dwelling place, which stood
at the end of that simple but tragic
life.
As ] passed from the granite-post-
ed entrance-on the road ! saw with
my minds eye the boy Lincoln going
out from this humble country home
to fight with. hoping to win from the
obstacles of the world. But he was
not alone, Along with him were hun
dreds, yes thousands Of other boys,
and among them girls, turning from
Larue County homes and facing to
ward the outer world But their
faces were dim. They were not like
his, clear and already showing the
elements of strength which the whole
world needs. Who are they? AS |
looked about me my question was
answered. Deep, red gashes in the
faces of the fields along the poorly con-
structed roads, acres covered with
sassafras bushes and briers and
homes lacking the comforts and re-
finements which are the rights of
those who live in the twentieth CEN
tury country homes, told the story.
These were the toll of young manhood
and womanhood which Larpe County
gave for the honor of its one great
son. Hungering for the wider life
