On Gn0h R0nds.

Editor The Advertiser:
After thirty-cieht years of watch
full waiting am pleased to know
that there is at this time one ray Of
nope that old Laurens county will in
the near future make long step for
ward by voting for improved public
roads. TO explain, just thirty-eight
years ago began the practice of med
icine, extending over parts of Dials
and Sullivan townships, and for the
above number Of years | have almost
daily been using the roads in this part
o! the county, winter and summer, fall
and spring. from sitting in the dust to
kncc-deep in the mud, in the dark
hours of the night to the blistcring
sun-hcat CT an August mid day. Kind
reader, pause for a moment and place
yourself in my stead, and try to imag-
inc how you would have enjoyed a top
soilcd road on all these trips, for all
these years. Again kind reader, did
yo'! ever walk, ride horseback, in
buggy, or automobile on one of those
top-soil roads? If not, let me try to
tell you. Some time ago | was called
to see a patient up near Simpsonville,
Hrcenville county, at a time when al!
IN improved roads were almost i'm
passablc even with horse and buggy.
] hadn't been In that section in quite
while, but | was we'll acquainted
with one section Of the road known to
be bad. even in ordinary bad weather
And to be certain to be able to pass
over that point I had my strongest
horse, harness and buggy hitched up
and all the way to that point, no mat
ter how deep the mud or how hard tho
pull. found myself saying to my
faithful horse, You will find harder
than this in Hopewell Flat. At last
we came In sight Of the above fiat with
whip in hand and rubbcrs on lin case
the singlctrce brolic) when 10 and be-
hold! not an ounce Of mud could be
seen. Top soilcd, top soilcd, top
s-o-i-le-d. Ny! what relief to the
driver, and how easy for the horse
Improved roadways are worth all they
cost for the benefit OF your country

crops, but by planting a legume crop
on every acre every year, we can
grow bigger and better grain and cot
ton crops than ever before, and grow
them at greater net profit. Let's see:
1. In the fist place, every cotton
middle in the South, regardless of the
crop to be planted the following year,
should be planted to crimson clover
IN the fal. 1t vii cover and enrich the
land during the winter and be plowed
under in the spring. We know of no
quicker, surer or more economical way
than this to double the yield of
cecding crops.
z. Every field of corn in the South
should at the same time be growing a
crop Of fowpeas, velvet beans or pea
ntts Such a practice means an
abundance Of plant food and stock
feed
3. Every oat and wheat crop
should be followed with peas, beans
or lcspedcza.
4 Finally, every foot of our pas
turc lands should be occupied with
lcsDcdeza or bur clover along with

The bonds for public roads, perman-
ent Improvement or any other reason
able proposition to get permanent
roads has been talked about by all
classes of our people and the conclu-
sion Is that most anything is better
than what we have now. In the sum-
mer the fresh clay and dirt is scraped
to the middle of the road SO that the
road is soft and hard toNpull through
Mntil light rains come and help mat
ters lite by packing it down. When
the winter rains set in the whole road
turns to mud and the holes that we're
partly filled up with clay in the sum
mer are almost impassabe.f So we
think that If the good part of the roads
are let alone and rocks or sand put
IN the holes and wet, soggy places we
would get good roads all the way. 1t
is believed by a great many people
that all Of these bad places could be
uiSed in one year with rock, sand,
poles. brush and top soil on as fin
ish. Hoping we will have good roads

anything pertaining to the upbuild-
ing and bettcrmcnt Of our public af-

Sure they are-not only our adjoin-
ing counties, but counties beyond
counties and states beyond states have
already seen the benefit and advan-

proud I live in Laurcns county. Now,
my fellow countrymer, we have this
opportunity to make this great i'm
provemcnt. If we vote it down, 1t will
be our own loss. This Is for us, If we
can only see It in the right way. This
money will be spent In the country on
the country roads Not dollar Will
be spent inside the incorporated limits
OF any town. Yet. the town people are
not kicking. They want us to have
it, With all their wealth and valua-
ble property they are ready to help US
ITO make this necessary Improvement.
They want us to have better way to
come to see them. We have been go
ing and will continue to go. Why not
grasp this opportunity and have bet
ter way to go? Why, the factories,
railroads, banks and many other COR
porations pay the best part Of this
Hax. Therefore what we pay will be a
very small item.
A few days ago heard a man say
that he would not vote for the bond is

pretty close calculation 1t will in

Some say we are making a debt for
our children to pay. We'll, If we are,
3ot Us build some roads FOR them and
not raise them in the mud holes and
sand-bars. I am sure when this COM
ing generation comes Ito manhood
that they will not tolerate the roads
that we now own. With their good
schools and fine education, they will
see tho necessity Of good roads, and
they will have them to build and also
to pay for. Why not let us build
them now and let us and them too
