Sandford, Before the Agricultural Society at Americas. identical process numberless limes •during the year, and what a fearful burden of taxation it piles up. If this tax came in a visible, tangible shape, or if it were collected by Gov ernment officials, backed up by bayonets, what an amount of right eous indignation it would provoke! But it comes so noiselessly and qui etly that our people beuf it with the •equuni i.ity of Christian martyrs, and indeed seldom think of it as a tax at all. At a certain town in Georgia, which annually ships from ten t< twelve thousand bales of cotton there was a few years ago, a long nar row causeway leading to a bridge. Said bridge and causeway being wider than necessary for one vehicle, und yet not wide enough for two. Whenever, therefore, a vehicle fairly secured the entrance to the causeway, it was neecssury for the other -oles at the end of the bridge, no mat ter bow many they were, to wait un til the first vehicle bad entirely pass cd over. On one occasion, I passed this causeway, and and at the end of the bridge 1 counted eighteen vehi cles—buggies with ladies and gentle men, wagons loaded with cotton, carts with wood, etc. There they stood, on a wintry day, reminding i ■one of “patience sit ting on a monu ment, smiling at grief,” waiting, with Christian resignation, fora one-horse team to drag its slow length along the causeway and over the bridge. The owners of'these vehicles never •once dreamed that they were paying •the heaviest sort of a tax for the priv ilege of riding over a causeway, too narrow for two vehicles to go abreast; nor diflifcty ojfcce imagine, that the Joss of time in buggies, wagons, curls, etc, with the vexation incident there to, would have paid the cost of con structing a wider embankment, twice over, in one season. All this is altered now. To the credit of that town, be it said, a lew enterprising citizens saw the heavy tax that they were paying, and re solved to pay it no loli&er; and now they have a broad embankment and a wide bridge, ample enough to cover any amount of travel. Years ago, before 1, railroads had made their present strides, men doing business on Wall street, New York, often had their residences in the country, six or eight miles from the city. Regularly, every morning, they came in to the places of busi ness, by private conveyance, occupy ing about an hour in the transit. Now, the same men have their coun try seats on the hanks of the Hud son, forty mi leg from the city, and yet with the same regularity and promptness as before, they arc seen ,at their Wall street offices— their trip to the city, in consequence of the im proved facilities for traveling, occu pying no more time than formerly. Although forty miles from the city, they are, for all practical purposes, just as neur to it as before. The same principle, though, of course, in a modified degree, applies to common roads. To recapitulate briefly the advan tages of good roads, we would say: 1. With a system of good common roads, carriages, buggies, wugons, harness, and even horses themselves, would hist nearly twice as lrfng, and thus from 40 to 50 per cent, of the expense for these necessary articles would he saved. 2. They would enable our people to dispense with a large portion of their horses and mules, by enabling fewer horses to do the same work now done by a tvryer numher. 3. The saving of lime in making journeys, or, which is the same thing, the conveyance of larger loads by the saim teams, would furnish no incon siderable saving of expense, which would add to the general wealth, 4. They would enhance the value of land; for farms at some distance from market would, virtually and practically, be brought within half their original distance. Some one may ask this question: “What do you mean by a good road?” and as nearly level as practicable; hard, in order to diminish the fri'etion ! and enable heavy loads to be carried with the least expenditure of animal | power; smooth, (that is, free from i holes or ruts), so that the road may i not become muddy by rains, and :j that the tractive power of the horse may be most effective; level, in order that the heaviest loads may be easily curried, without straining the horse, or without overtaxing his strength. (Jan such roads he constructed all over the State of Georgia? In my humble opinion they can; but not in the way we have been going for the last, forty or fifty years. In our hum ble judgment, the road system as practiced in Georgia for the last half century, is about as complete a bur lesque upon true roadmaking as were ihe old militia musters described in “Longsfreeze Georgia Scenes,” when compared with the evolutions of the Second Georgia Butullion on dress parade. Under the old regime, a m n was summoned, with great formality, “to work on the road;” and at the appointed time he came, or more likely “sent a hand," * armed and equipped,” with a demoralized hoe, or a venerable mattock that had come down from his great-grandfather. About nine o’clock he went to work, and his whole study during the day was to devise ingenious ways of kill ing time; in other words, trying ■“how not to do it;” ever and anon casting wistful glances at: the sun, which, on this day, as in Joshua’s lime, “hasted not to go down.” Public opinion, on this subject needs to he educated. Whilst rail roads with their triumphs over time and space have been estimated at something like their true value, tlu* mass of the community have enter tained a very inadequate, not to say, contemptuous, opinion of -common roads. Many of you ku-w that be fore the war, the only qualification requisite for an overseer.of roads was that he should be a man, who could get the most work, in the shortest time, out of “American men and brethren of African descent.” As to whether lie knew anything of the principles of roadmaking, why, that was a mtitter of no consequence at all. On one occasion my old father met with an Irishman, fresh from the “ould country,” who claimed to he a Ohaiiatiaii. This claim at one interested the old gentleman in* the' welfare of the representative from Erin, and he inquired*. “How long have you been a Christian?” To which the honest Hibernian respon ded enthusiastically: “Faith, an’ I was horn a Christian.” Just so with these roadmalters. Like the poet of whom Horace speaks, or rat her Singe, they Are horn; they are neither made, nor do they, by degrees, become road- makers. To he a lawyer in those days it was necessary for a man to read Blnckstonc, Coke and other learned authors, and then serve an apprenticeship of years at the bar; to become a physician, he must atten tively rend medical works, attend courses of lectures and examine cases; to become a good agriculturist, he must investigate, experiment, and practice; to he a road maker, why that was just the easiest thing imagina ble; a man it born a road maker. Dr. Lardner, an eminent scientific, well as a very practical man, once wrote this paragraph: “I do not know that I could suggest any one problem to he proposed to an engineer which would require a greater exertion of scientific skill and practical knowl edge than laying out a road.” And yet, in our Stale when a new road to he laid out, Mr. A or Mr, B is gen erally selected for the enterprise, f< the simple reason that Mr. A or Mr. B lives close by, and can run over some morning before breakfast and do tjie job. In the first place, more correct no tions in regard to the utility of com mon roads must be disaemipuiei throughout the community the peo ple must he led to see their value and become interested in their construc tion and maiohummer. Who is to disseminate this information, and get up this healthy public opinion? 1 know of no more suitable agency, than the members of this Agricultu ral Association. Allied with the general mass of the community, by profession able affinities, no others can so readily take hold of their im pulses anil guide them to correct ac tion. Lri. the people be led to see and to feci, that not only their per sonal comfort, hut that their pecun iary interests are deeply involved in having good county and neighbor hood roads. On the fine roads of Europe de scribed by Bayard Taylor, to which I have referred, every appliance of hardness and smoothness of surface cry, and outside of all, are ditches to seouro perfect drainage, and keep the road firm and smooth. If the ques tion be asked, “do you expect to he able to produce such roads as these in Georgia?” 1 answer: by no means at least for,the present. Our popu lation is too small and scattered, to construct such roads. Much that is expended on the roads of England, and on the Continent, is solely for ornamentation. This 1 would dis pen so with, and adopt only so much of the European plan as is absolutely indispensable for a good road. When reduced to its last analysis, a good road must, possess three elemeuts-r- tliese cannot he dispensed with. They are; 1st, easy grade; #nd, per fect drainage; and 3rd, proper shape. One great mistake too frequently made in the formation of our roads is, that they run straight over the the lulls instead of winding around their buses. 1 hold in triy hand a hemisphere Ci: you observe it is no 'artlier abound the level base of this ball than over it; but where it con siderably longer, good economy in the saving of animal power would dictate that wo take the longer, but level route, rather than the shorter hut steep one. In this case the old adage holds good, that “the longest way round, is the niglnst way home.” Eminent roadmakeis say, that rathe tliuiijconipel a horse to ascend a hi 1 twenty feet in height* it is better for the horse that he travel twenty times as far on a level, or lour hundred feet. The second point in a good road is perfect drainage. It js impossible to make a good road if the water stand on it. Drainage is absolutely indis pensable. Ditches on both sides of tliq road three feet wide, and from two and a half to three leec deep, will secure effectual drainage, while the earth dug from the ditches will sup ply the material for raising the road bed above the surface of the neigh boring lands, and thus secure for it the proper shape. The third point is, proper shape. And wlmt is the proper shape for a road? Many roadmakers maintain tlm;-it should he curved like the arc of a circle «. I do not assmJ; to this opinion. Roads with ihi cross-section, have the glaring defect of not being uniform in their slope; they fall off too rapidly at the sides, wA’dJhe consetjuence is that vehicles will only travel on the middle of the road, and -the rains will rapidly wash the sides into ruts. In my opinion a much better shape is that of two inclined plains limiting in tl of the road, the point of meeting be ing smoothly rounded off. The in clination of such a road is perfectly uniform from the centre to the side.*, and travelers will have no reason to prefer any one part of a road so o, structed to another. In conclusion, allow me to say few words in relation to the roads of Bibb county. In Bibb we liar about 300 miles of road, which ma; he clashed under three different heads, according to their foundations, which consist respectively ol sind clay and gravel. These roads were in had condition at the outlet.—some of them almost impassable. With a regular, hired corps of hands, aid ed by some extra force employed at certain seasons of the year, these roads were put in good condition, oqe year’s time, at ail expense of about seven thousand dollars. The chain gang was afterwards substitu ted for the hired force; a superinten dent and an assistant were employed, with a quota of guards, sufficient to watch from 25 to 40 convicts. Three or four additional hands have been employed to drive wagons, and d< such other work as could hot be en trusted to convicts. The annual ex pense has been from five to six thou sand dollars—very lifcte more than would have been required to pay jail fees, had the convicts been kept in prison. With this force the roads of the county are kept in good condi tion; half the time being dr-voted to working the streets of the city of Macon. In the comity there are nine militia districts, two of which are in the city. Each dis trict is allowed three representatives in the Board of Road Commission ers, all of whom me.elected by the grand jury, and serve for four years. Only half the Board of Commission ers go out of office at a time; in tiiis way men experienced in road matters are always secured in the board. This hoard has control of all matters relating to roads; determines the amount to be expended on any par ticular point; audits accounts; fixes the salaries of employes; furnishes the material.necessary for repairs, &c. The road force in any district is worked under the direction of the condition of the roads* the amount M f work done, &c. The General Board meets monthly, and is one of the best attended boards in the coun ty, for the reason that all its mem bers appreciate the importance of good roads* and tire deeply interested in constructing them for the whole county. The whole system is work ed to the satisfaction of the entire county* For the foregoing facts in regard to the road system of Bibb, 1 indebted to the courtesy of Prof. Williams,' of the Academy of the Blind, who was for four years the President of the Board of Road Com missioners. And now, in closing, allow mb to propound one question to this Agri cultural Association: Could the State of Georgia better utilize the labor of her Penitentiary convicts than t.o or ganize the whole of them into a working corps under competent en gineers, and employ them in working the common roads of the State.
