TEN OF roads their value will depre-
ciate under ordinary circumstances
faster than new roads can be con-
structed. II is therefore essential that
after a road Is once built, great care
should be taken In It's upkeep. There
Is no question that the cost OF proper
maintenance is many times saved In
the increased economic value Of the
highway traffic.
NJ Intenance may be divided into
two general classes: First, the upkeep
OF roads which have been constructed
along standard line with minimum
grades, proper drainage and surfac-
Ing material: second. the conditioning
Of roads that have had little, II any.
constructive attention.
Highways coming under the first
class are not so liable 10 be neglected
by those entrusted with their care.
and while their maintenance problem
Is very important and necessary one,
this class of roads represents only
Lesser portion. The greater percent
age of roads In the state are not Inn
proved. Inasmuch as this class of
roads serve the majority Of the people
and this kind Of road will always pre-
dominate, II is very necessary that at
tentlOn be directed TO proper ways and
means OF their maintenance.
Each year more or less construction
work is being done and the mileage Of
improved roads increased, and while
this work Is going on the unimproved
roads should be kept In as good condi-
ton as possible at n minimum cost.
The best results can only be OBJ
tanned by the enthusiasm and local
pride of the man who uses the road.
He Is the fellow most interested. and
small amount Of intelligent atten-
ton by himself and his neighbors will
show great results ON their particular
section OF the road.
This rule applied Throughout the
length and breadth Of any state would
mean a system of earth roads that
could be pointed to with piide.

PAYING FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Have Always Been
Necessary Adjunct to State,
Community and Individual.

Good highways are and have always
been "A necessary adjunct 10 the well
fare OF the state. community and indi-
vIdual. The argument, Good roads
cost lots Of money" may in reality be
true when figured In dollars and miles,
but Is incorrect when considered in
reality. Good roads must be paid for,
but they are paid for whether they are
built or not. The wear and breakage
ON teams. harness and vehicles, and
the increased cost Of hauling on poor
roads Is costing the grower far more
than the price OF building and keeping
In repair the very best roads. He is
actually paying for the roads without
getting them; and. besides. is put to
much inconvenience and worry.
In short, good roads cost nothing.

PART OF TEMPLE OF SOLOMON
wall Of WaiIine" Revered by Pilgrim
Jews Who Mourn for Departed
Glories OF Judah.

More than fifty years ago Col.
Charles Warren, English archeolo-
gist, attempted excavations above the
"Wall Of Wailing," which is I'M
doubtedly part of the original Tenn
pie Of Solomon and revered by pill
grim Jews who weep and mourn
there for the departed glories Of Jul
dab. He proved before he was
stopped in his work that the original
level Of the valley just outside Of
that wall was at least lightweight
feet below the present level.
Passing down this valley, relates
the Chicago Examiner, are some
tombs still above ground, but not
thoroughly explored, which have
been notable to all pilgrims. There
is the so-called tomb of Absalom, exc
Grated by the Jews as they pass, and
behind IT is an excavated sepulchral
chamber, called that of Jehosaphat.
1t is held by tradition that in this
area are the tombs of Isaiah the
Prophet, and King Hezekiah, and
nearby are the tombs Of the Prophet
Zechariah and of King Uzziah.

Spending
Some Money.

What's the matter with
Board of Supervisors?
They seem to be running
a-muck" on the spending OF
money these days.
At the meeting the first
OF May they borrowed $780,
900 on loan warrants, and
now are advertising to Dor
row 500, 900 more on loan
warrants the first Monday OF
June, and still the Treasur-
er's report shows more than
$65, 900 in the County De
pository.
Good night!' but that's
going some"
Furthermore, the last SEES
sion of the Legislature made
it mandatory upon Boards
of Supervisors to ISSUE
BONDS to take up all out
standing warrants.
Of course, that will come
next. Think of Pearl River
County having a BOND IS
SUE piled up on the people;
the first in the history of the
county, and not for useful
purposes or to build high
ways or public buildings,
but to PAY DEBTS incurred

travagant and reckless ex-
penditures of the peoples
money.
