GOOD ROADS.
Applied Locally.


We read many articles in our news
papers describing the Mexican trou-
bles, Balkan wars and other topics of
distant territory. When we have
read these we feel that we have the
writer's opinions but no more. We
have even reached that date when we
can read largely of the Ten Command
ments In weekly newspaper, though
after reading we are sure we know
not the point the writer wishes to con-
vey and feel uncertain that he himself
knows. These topics compare very
well indeed with the Good Roads Move
mentS In Laurens county We have at
our command many volumes upon road
construction and our newspapers treat
the subject very extensively But we
gain from these only the knowledge of
What could be done or what has been
lone or attempted in other localities,
counties, or states.
Have we profited by having these
experience of others? Our present
and urgent needs are good roads local
ly applied, To have these we must
arouse local interest in god road
movement and get our local people
cnthused in the movement.
1t has been said that good roads"
and good schools" go together; but
Is this true in Laurens count? One
who had been out of the county four
or I've years would simply have to
make the rounds in person and see
the great Improvement in Laurens
county school to fully appreciate the
great advancement made in our
schools. Much has been done and
more is being done each season. Why?
Because local interest has been
aroused and each district has raised
money or is raising money to build
good school houses and employ COM
petcnt teachers to meet the needs OF
the day. But in making these rounds
one will find the roads in practically
the same condition they were five years
ago; the same old money wasting plan
of throwing, of scraping loose dirt into
mud holes and patching over for
few weeks during the year. After a
road is properly constructed, drag
ging and scraping go far toward its
maintenance, but until it is properly
constructed these can be considered
only as temporary patching.
When we have aroused the same To-
cal interest in good road movement
as is being displayed in the good school
movement then we will nave good
roads, competent men will be en-
plOycd and labor furnished to CON
struct them. We have an abundance
OF sand and clay, the essentials Of the
best country road, conveniently locat-
ed and the topography of our county is
such that good roads, in most cases,
can be constructed at a minimum most
and then maintained at less expense
than our patch work of today.
The day is coming when good public
roads will mean to town or communi-
ty what the railroad means to them
today. Our local papers and men will
do we'll to give the matter their atten-
tion and strive to arouse that interest
and enthusiasm so necessary to secure
results in any movement.
While descriptions of what is being
done in other localities are interesting
and beneficial to read | would like %
calizc the Good Roads movement. Get
our capable men to express some ideas
and set forth plans.
