THE ADVANTAGE OF GOOD ROADS.
Tomorrow the people nil over
this broad land will assemble in
their respective communities to of

merciful God lor His goodness and

It should be the aim of every
one on tfmt“day to get above iffid

and broader view. Perhaps there
will be some who will say that
they have not anything to be
thankful for; maybe death has
tered the home and carried away it

sickness and disease has lain its
heaVy hand on the home arid
brought sadness and.sorrow .where
before all was happiness and joy,
but even if this has berin |he cnse ;
if our hei-rts are right, we cun yet
be thankful—thankful that a like
calamity has not befallen others—
thankful for the happiness and the
prosperity of our neighbors—
thankful for the great and unpara

In an article in the.Iast issue of
the News the value of good roads
was commented on in a general
Way. Their value in a commercial
sense can hardly be appreciated
until they have been tried, Dooly
county can build good roads for
a very small parL of the cost for
which they have been built in oth
er countie.f and not burden a man
in the county.
Bonds can be issued to run any
length of time deemed desirable and
as the credit of the county is good,
they could be sold for a very good
premium. With a good, hard
roadbed, free ot ruts and mud holes,
farmer can bring a third more on
his wagon when he comes to town,
besides the difference in the time it
will take him to make the trip. A
farmer had rather drive twenty'
miles over a good road than fifteen
over a bad one, and he can do it
with a larger load, quicker and
with much less trouble.
Suppose there are two counties
adjoining each other, find one has
good roads and the other has not.
The people living in the county
without good ro;ids will^ take their
products Wthe -market *to- which
they cm* journey on -a good road,
thou
att-
forcibly. Good roads will draw

going to use the most accessible
markers and thjs jvi 11;be the marker
,ynljch is fhe mbst easily reached.
By good roads, distance is reduced
to almost half; thirty miles over a
good road h> about’ equal to fifteen
over a bad one
No sensible man Will use a bad
iWd when he can possibly get to a
good one, though the distance be
much greater.

our common country. Indeed
there are many things outside our
own lives for which we should be
thankful.
We should be thankful to
Creator for the abundant, crops
with which be hat, blessed thi
country; for the coming and going
of the seasons that we may sow
Ht.d reap the harvest; for health
and strength with Which to go
about our daily avocations, and for
the ability to earn a livelihood for
loved ones.
We should thank Him for spar
ing us the visitation of any great
calamities such as have visited our
less fortunate brethren in otlnr
parts of the world and carried
away thousands of lives. How
fortunate should we count our
selves that it was not we and
our loved ones that \vere the vie-
tints of the horrible outburst of
the gieat volcano on the little
land in which over forty thousand
lives were lost in a few seconds.
We should be thankful that we
have not suffered the unspeakable
agonies of a great famine, such n*
has visited the poor, helpless peo-
pie of India, who have died by the
hundreds of thousands tor the want
of bread and water.
There are hundreds of things to
be thankful for, and it seems that
the people of this country have
more cause to be thunkful than any
of God’s people. They have been
blessed by Him«in a most wonder
ful way, and purely everyone can
assemble tomorrow with a heart
full of gratitude to the Great Cre
ator.

The concensus ot opinion seems
to be that the next democratic can
didate for president will have to
come from the East. Oh ves, of
course. This is the same old tune
that has been sung every since the
Civil war.
Col. Ed Butler,’the St. Louis
boodler,has been sentenced to three
years in the penitentairy for the
briberv of city-officials. The light
sentence imposed is explained by
the fact that Butler is a millionaire.
As the Americus Times-Recorder
truly says, if he had been a poor
man and had been convicted of
stealing something to eat to keep
from starving, he would have got

A table of statistics in the At-
lanta Constitution shows that out
of thirty-one killings in Atlanta
from April, 1901, to the present
time, only two that were guilty
succeeded in escaping. This speaks
well for the efficiency of the At
lanta police force.
President Roosevelt succeeded in
killing one bear in the Mississippi
swamps. He met 'up with plenty
of coons, but owing to a fond feel
ing he entertains for the creatures,
he did not bag any. And then,
again, it is against the law to kill
them at this season of the year.
William R. Hearst, through his
three papers is booming himself
for the presidency. While Mr.
Hearst is a strong man, we think
he is going it a little too fast. Al
though it is a fact that he has done
much good work for the democrat
ic party, lie is young and has nev
er held any public office. Mr.
Hearst can well afford to wait for
a few years, and not push himself
prominence on too
