TAKE a little spin out north two or
three miles one of these fine days in
your car, or if you haven't a car of
your own, get into your neighbor's
car with him; then turn west, and if
you have time go as far as the Iron
Springs gap. Note as you go the diff
ference between the stretches of road
that have been covered with shale or
other good surfacing materials with
which this part of the country a
bounds; and then ask yourself what
it would mean to this county if all
our important roads were treated in
this way? Why, it would be far
better for us than a railroad, and at
only fraction of the cost. With the
