But misery loves com pany. pent to it. That is because they have the support of the people. Good roads will do more than any thing else to btiild up the state. With macadamized or good dirt roads, by means of which the rail road stations enn be easily and .quickly reached, there will bean Sil vered a distance of 180 miles in 132 minutes and one of 40 miles in 30 min tea.

The statistician lias estimated that if Texas had good roads the farmers and cotton men of that statu would be able to save $2,700,000 a year oil the cost of tiansportatiou of the cot ton crop to the railroads. While we are not prepared to vouch for the accuracy of the tigurcs, wc hav.e no doubt that the saving t-o the Texas farmers would be large, and in a few years would amount to enough to provide the whole state with a system of scientifically built and permanently improved highways. And wliat is (-rue ot Texas is equally true of Georgia. Our country roads are about the only tiling that we uid not revolutionize during the century just ended.
