Why Don't We Use
the Road Drag?

For years The Journal has been Try

missioners particularly and the public
generally, the value Of the split log
drag for maintaining the county roads.
but up to this time We do not believe
that one has ever heen used on an Is
Gambia county road Now the Pro
sressive Farmer saws:
When will our people appreciate
the value of the split log drag" When
viii they quit thinking that they can
have passable highways by spending
thousands and thousands of dollars
for surfaced roads, and that If a coun

Gabriel blows his horn"
When will each county arrange 10
pay some farmer for dragging the
road nearest him after each wet spell?
And when Will you Mr. Reader
when Will you talk over this matter
with your county commissioners and
your road authorities?
We have printed stories enough
showing the value of the drag. but
here's another from the Monroe En-
quirer that We pass along:

rod which was a, delight to drive on.
What made the change? Why Mr.. J.
j. Morgan had used a King road drag
for a short while. That was all. Just
one man and q team and that drag
had done the work and the bill for the
taxpayers to foot will be less than 81.
The man who invented the road drag
should have babies named after him
and may his feet press the golden
streets when he leaves this old world.
1t is the cheapest way to make a good
road, when used al the right time. Use
the drag. When used promptly just
after the March rains. it will level
down the ruts and ridges and insure
smoother travelling the whole year
should be used after every wet spell"
Some time ago. some public spir-
tied citizens OF FsCambia county con-
tributed a fund. constructed a drag,
and paid demonstration to come here
and show how the drag should be
used
But that was the end of II. The
county commissioners have never used
the drag and the county does not own
one although a drag is the cheapest
possible thing in the world and the use
OF it is very simple as we'll as cheap.
We spend thousands of dollars a
year in building good roads and then.
for want of the simplest and cheapest
kind Of care, we let the roads go TO
ruin.
When will our own county do what
every enterprising road-builder in the
country is doing everywhere else?

Alabama Coal
Through Pensacola.

The Mobile Register, says:
Perhaps when Alabama coal at its
best becomes known and the market
knows what coal it wants there will
navy as we'll more of it by mer-
chant vessels Tests made of Ala
bama coal have resulted in decisions
highly in praise of the coal. Other
tests have given ground for decisions
less favorable; and we can only con-
clude that not always the 0est grades
have been used in these tests. There
is. apparently. a poor tsuniOn in the
navy of our coal if we judge by the
fact that the navy brings out to Pen
SaCola the coal II uses-West Virginia
coal The expense is great for these
shipments; yet it is incurred; while
Alabama coal is here, ready good and
cheap.
There is encoura een.eur in the call
FOR bids to deliver Alabama coal at
This port. We hope that EFFORT will be
made to offer the Alabama product
that will be OF the best steaming
quality. so that the naVy's use may
become a regular Trims, Dnd the
exception growing out or the Mexican
situation.
If Mobile were half as active in
pushing the merits of Alabama coal
AS Pensacola is it would not be long
before both commerce. md the navy
would recognize the value Of the Ala
bama product.
The recognition by the navy de
Tartment and by foreign ship owners
OF the steam qualities of Alabama
coal will of necessity mean a ire
mendous bunker business through
Pensacola and this Will be followed by
a valuable export business
The idea of shipping West Virginia
coal to Pensacola for the use of the
navy and of compelling foreign YES
sells taking gulf cargoes to run out
of their course at a sacrifice of time
and mileage in order to fill their bun
kers at Norfolk is SO erepostrous a
proposition that it becomes actually
ridiculous.
