On that fatefu1 July day, when the

EDITORIAL

The Great road makers convention
in Chicago is over. The exhibitors
have taken their machinery and ma
terials and departed. The Coliseum
which for week demonstrated the
wonderful progress which road max
ing has had, is empty of all that per-
tains to highways.
But the results of the EXHIBIT re-
main. Never before was so remark
able a gathering of educational mate
rial regarding highways put beneath
one roof. Never before has it been
possible for anyone, within the space
Of few hundred feet to gather so
comprehensive an idea of what roads
are, how they are built, what they are
built of, what they cost, how they
should, be used, how they should be
financed
1t is very certain that the educators
builders, engineers county and state
officials, teachers, students, and the
general public which thronged this
great exposition, took away with them
much information, the results of
which will be apparent for many years
to come. The little leaven, leavens
the whole lump; the educated man
spreads knowledge about him: Those
who have learned of roads, not as a
theory but as they are, will talk; those
they talk to will be Interested; a
greater and greater degree of senti-
ment will be created regarding the
necessity of more, many more, good
roads in this country.
In its special educational field the
road exposition undoubtedly did a
great DEAL but its greatest achieve
ment unquestionably is its showing
forth to the Nation the state of the art
of highway building, and educating
road makers, users and buyers alike,
in its boundless possibilities.

STATE HAULS
ITSELF OUT OF THE MUD
North Carolina Definitely Placed In
Good Roads Category

North Carolina was for years a pitt
full example of muddy highways, i'm
passable roads, inconvenient travel
Today North Carolina after the ex-
penditure of sixty-five millions of dol
lars, has made it possible to go from
almost anywhere in the state to any
where else without getting stuck in the
mud, has linked all her county seats
with good road system and pro-
vided main State highways which
girdle the State and leave nothing to
be desired on the part of the tourist.
1t took ten years of education and
five of construction before this result
was attained and the end is not yet,
for it is proposed to spend up to two
hundred millions on State roads be-
fore the job is finished.
With wonderful scenic beauty and a
location on direct line for all tourist
travel north and south, North Caro-
lima does not propose to- lose the bene-
fits which the automobile may bring,
in tourist travel, in social intercourse,
in modern country schools, in good
health, in increased commerce, in the
influx of modern civilization to re-
mote districts. 1t has been a Hercd-
lean task to arrange as comprehensive
system of financing as is necessary
for so large an expenditure, and edt-
cate those without experience of the
blessings of good roads to the need of
supplying the money. But the pro-
gressive and public spirited citizens of
the State have done the work and all
North Carolina is reaping the benefit.
North Cardinals experience, similar
to that of others which have gone
through the same process, is but an
other argument for the idea that the
Nations good roads problem will
never be properly solved until it, like
its progressive tates provides a ma
tional system of highways, to be built
and forever maintained by the Ma
tional Government, just as the good
roads States build and maintain their
individual good-road systems.

CHURCHES BENEFIT
FROM IMPROVED ROADS
Ministers Find Smooth Highway
Necessary for Parish Work

"What is the matter with the
church?" is the favorite demand of
those who find something the matter
with it. The country minister knows
what is the matter with his church,
nine times out of ten it is mud that is
the matter with it; ruts and holes in
roads which are the matter with it:
inability of parishioners to- get to it
which is the matter with it, only
equalled by his inability to go to his
parishioners.
The United States is a God-fearing
church. going Nation Churches grow;
new churches are constantly being
built People want and need churches.
But in the rural districts miles from
good road but handful can gather
at the church few miles from home,
unless the Sabbath happens to have
been preceded by long spell of dry
weather.
The farmer must be merciful to his
horses. Time is a great factor in
rural life. Where roads forbid 1.-THE
extra work and long trip means
most of Sunday gone in travel, church
attendance inevitably suffers.
Where roads are good, the country

Punch and Judy In China.

The origin Of the Punch and Judy
comic puppet show has been the sub
ject Of much discussion. Punch has
been identified with Pontlus PLATE,
Judy with Judas the betrayer. or with
the Jews, and the play with one Of the
old Mysteries" This notion Is entirely
without foundation, the Detroit News
declares. The name Punch is simply a
contraction Of Punchinello (for Pulcin-
clio, the buffoon of Neapolitan COM
edy), while Judy is probably derived
from Judith, at one time a common
name
1t is said that a character similar to
Punch is founded in the puppet plays
OF Italy, Egypt, Persia, India China,
and Japan. Punch and Judy shows
were introduced into London in 1896,
by an Italian, who erected booth
near Charing Cross for their perform
ance.

When the rate of speed on Europe's,

hour for passengers and two miles

five or even forty miles an hour and
of freight to twelve or even thirty
miles per hour, at the same time re-

HIGHWAYS VITAL TO
BETTER CIVILIZATION
European Experience Proves Need
of Roads in America

The part that highways play in the
progress of civilization is we'll shown
by the experience of Europe During
the past 1000 years. From the golden
milestone in Rome great highways
were built to the remotest bounds OF
the Roman Empire. Over them went
the Roman soldier, and with him law
and order. Over them went the
Greek schoolmaster, and with him
schools and colleges: Over them went
the missionary of the cross and with
him the church, hospital, medical sci
ence and improved agriculture.

Carnegie Library
Report For 1923

1t is with a feeling of encourage
ment mingled with disappointment
that as your librarian, | bring You my
eighth annual report. The reports
which were made at the close OF each
year. have shown that progress has
been made in the development of f.
brary service to the people OF Fitz-
gerald and Ben Hill County The
book collection has grown from a
mere handful in 1915 to pretty we'll
| rounded collection of the standard
books and books most demanded along
| all useful lines. The service has in
creased and improved year by year,
and it seems to the Librarian, who
sees the daily use of the library, that
the city is receiving good returns on
the money invested in this institution.
But there should be decided en-
largemcnt Of our equipment and of our
sources, if we are to keep abreast of
the times With more than 1900 peo-
pie using the library regularly. it is
absolutely impossible for the librar;-
m to continue to give efficient ser
vice both at the desk and in the ref
crence room. | believe it would be a
source of real disappointment to the
entire city for the library to have to
fail in it's forward march of efficien-
cy.
The Woman'S Club has shown love
for its adopted child in a very sub
stantial way during the year. In Feb
ruary and again in August they spon-
sored Rook tournaments and home
talent play in September, and a sill
yer tea on Washngtons' birthday, all
of which netted $246.42, for the book
fund. Children's book week was OBJ
served llth to 18th of November, in
the Library with special exhibits of
the editions of children's books.
Down town the Bradshaw Muse
Co., very generously loaned their
beautiful show window for the week
and other business houses contributed
dolls, toys, rugs, and furniture to
help transform this window into
model children's reading room. The
publishers from Atlanta, Chicago,
New York and Boston loaned books
to make the exhibit more attractive
and the result was that our observ-
ance of Children's Book Week re-
ceived special commendation from the
American Library Association. The
Womans' Club contributed $40, the
Review Club $3.50, The Kiwanians

cards by the map of the city, it is

Work will be concentrated on new plays and the perfection of an aerial at- tack designed to bother the Crim- son next Saturday at Cambridge and the Bulldog November 1b in Palmer stadium.
