BY way Of comprison it can cor

country roads. nor is any community

The other day Hon. Locke Craig,
of North Carolina, was inaugurated
governor Of that State, and in his in
augural address took occasion to de-
'V,te himself interestingly to the sub

married. their worth and meaning to
a community as follows:
Improved highways are the ar
teries Of the country. They create
organized communities of isolated
families and make these cmmunities
part of the life of the great world.
Dynamite and the steam shovel are
making through the hills and through
the granite of the mountains pathways
for the locomotive. The improved
road would give the farmers access
to the railroad, to the church, and to
the school during all the seasons of
the year. Good roads stimulate i'm
provement. They enrich the soil
They build anew the schoOlhouse, the
church and the home. They arouse
ambition and general emulation. They
| increase the value Of every acre Of
land that they touch and the value
Of every man, woman and child whose
house they pass No community can
hope for progress without the good
road. We cannot have the benefits
of modern civilization without it. 1t
is not an expense; it is an invest
ment that pays 100 per cent dividend
every year. And more, it brings cul-
ture and cOntentment and a better
social life. Every community in the
State must have it. The cost is much
less than it was a few years ago."
Governor Craigs remarks are
worthy of and should be commended
