THE VALVE\>F GOOD COUNTRY ROADS
In some minor degree Sumter county has already had a demonstration
of the value of good country roads. Its farmers know the benefits that
have ensued from the improvement of some of the highways of the country,
even though those improvements have not been as thorough as one would
like. Many high grades have been done away with, or considerably
reduced, bad ruts have been obliterated, proper drainage lias been provided,
and other betterments made that have commended themselves to the
common sense of all users of the roads and awakened their approbation.
What has been done, though, is but a forecast of what should be done
on this line. Many ot the roads are yet in bad condition, and even the best
of them are doubtless capable of some further betterment that would tend
to permit of their being easily maintained in good condition. It is for
this purpose that the proposed bond issue of $.10,000 is intended. With
that amount of money at its command a'capable engineer could be engaged
by the County Commissioners, and under his direction, with the experienced
superintendent of the county directing the labor, results could be obtained
that would tell enormously for the future good and upbuilding of Sumter
county.
In the last issue of the Tradesman there is an interesting article on
good roads movement in Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, of which
the enterprising city of Charlottee is the county seat. We publish below
some extracts, as of especial interest to the people of Sumter county at this
particular time;
”.Vo one factor in the development of the community lias been more
i
pronounced in its direct'r^srrtfs.—and competent authority lias placed the
increase in the value at $1.21 per'acre for every acre of land adjacent to
these good roads, and this amount per acre will in one year pay for the
building of all of them.
“The real value of good country roads can only be appreciated by
those who can have enjoyed the privilege of using them frequently, and
the many advantages which accrue to the community through their con
struction are entirely too many to be enumerated in one short article.
“They furnish the avenues of easy communication between the seat of
production and the mrakets, permitting the producer to take advantages
of the highest prevailing prices, regardless of the weather or of the season
of the year, and also permit him to decide for himself as to how large or
how small the load to be hauled may be. It is a common occurrence in
and near Charlotte for one horse or one mule to haul six or seven bales of
cotton at a load, and this over the same roads where, under former bad
conditions, the passing of an empty wagon during a wet season would have
been very difficult.
Statistics gathered from over one-half of the cotton growing counties
show that the average expense of hauling cotton is 16 cents for a hundred
pounds, or about $2.75 for a load of three bales. The cost of hauling may
be reduced considerably more than one-half, by the building of smooth
permanent roads, and permitting the doubling of the load to be hauled,
thus saving, to the growers of cotton millions of dollars annually, which
would in a short time pay the entire cost of the construction.
“Good roads facilitate travel and make easy communication between
different parts of the county, bringing the merchant into closer relationship
with his customers and thereby enabling him to increase his business;
they reduce the time and make travel a pleasure, permitting the people of
the farm to drive across the country and take advantage of many interesting
and entertaining features which take place in towns and cities; they make
possible the prompt delivery of mail all (he year and they attract to the
county the very best class of immigrants; they contribute to the elevation
of the social and educational standards of the community by furnishing
means at all seasons of the year for the people to enjoy the benefits and
privileges to be derived from the best educational institutions, and from
the intermingling with others in social intercourse.”
Every farmer in Sumter county should carefully consider these mat
ters. If there is any individual who should be a pronounced advocate of
good roads it is the farmer.
