Dear Sir:--The Controversy"
which perhaps is q term more suita-
bic now, In the Iuteiiigencafss advo-
caey Of bond issue for foads than the
gentle tiInidity OF n word raiie-dis-
cnssion-th!s controversy as as much
amusing as q moving picture show. 1t
IS like discussion on the war, or re-
ligtOn or politics; the animation COW
ers the hard feelings after all, and
each Is intereas5a .i1 f,tsS, .
seeing hoE many times better than
himself caE the next opponent Of his
argument show out TO the public.
There is no animosity; were each to
travel the very widest from the breast
center of his own thoughts, the two
brother men would at the opposite side
from the starting place meet and close
circuit. The union would be hand
shake, The roads, the people will
have at the present time, communi-
ty not warmed up by special conglom-
erations OF firesiie talks about It
have caught cold from the breezy sub
3ect, but after the first sneeze, brainG
and chests will be clear and good
rdads 1.M ::z5si along from man, wo-
man and child like an old time song
or a soOd time religion.
Now, were man not able to argue
on profound questions he would be
deficient In acumen, and were not q
new problem before the public occas-
ionally-for what the use of school
room and college debate? Men shar-
pen their wits n this manner. When
Il Is all over again. they shake hands.
Weak and brain n-biinded is the per.
SON who does not. want good roads,
good fields, good houses good any,
thingt Nobody .confesses he does not
want "a good road, except for, argu-
ment; and the argument IL SO killing
Of time that modern and educated re-
speetability presses the man to drop
the argument quickly and go to work
with the will of the world.
Men OF the present day are SO con-
stituted that they love home better
than shack, they love a buggy or
carriage for riding better than a mar
{ ket wagon; it has been said men have
mortgaged their property to possess
an automobile; boys have done with
out Sunday suits to possess bicycles
and motorclcyes. Men go half q mile
out OF their way across fields to save
-fs E1ce pair OF polished shoes from the
mud OF q bad road. In fact, the world

Is an isolated subject. and il 1t is the
portion Of past subject that deals
with alley-wide streets in town, or hub

& they disdain notice OF 1t as they would
oI q poor relation
These few lines beginning the para
graph are as pare enthesis, that: Two
ressenHi for not having good roads
would carry In come counties, but not
in Anderson cpunty lack of education
and 3lae y OF refinement. This reproof
in the. mention at. all IL psrsonally
taken to herself by the. writer and all
: who agree with her that Anderson
county needs no sycophantic boost
ing. Too well known are these facts
that Anderson county liz superior in
wealth and so many. ways that other
counties are not even brought forward
before her in comparison lest the
insult sniff her out OF the State.
Ia new paragraph must be begun at
once TO say that Anderson people are
for Anderson: ali OF the people ali
over the county ty-everywhere. .Andef-
son county is going to have. good roads
