to some minor degree Sumter county has already had a demonstration As the faint dawn crept upward, gray
of the value of good country roads. Its farmers know the benefits that and dim,

even though those Improvements have not been as thorough as one would Herman they had looked in long,

reduced, bad ruts have been obliterated, proper drainage has been provided,

that would tell enormously for the future good and upbuilding of Sumter 1 *“' 1
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 eflterprislng city of Charlottes Is the county* seat We publish below
some extracts, as of especial Interest to the people of Sumter county at this
particular time:
“No one factor in the development of the community has been more
pronounced In its direct results, and competent authority has placed the
Increase In the value at $1.25 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 tht-ough 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 mraketo, 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 1b 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 pverage expense of hauling cotton is 16 cento 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.
“Goo* roads facilitate travel and. make easy communication between
different parts of tho county, bringing the merchant Into closer relationship
with his customers and thereby enabling him to / Increase hta 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 Jn towns and cities; they make
possible the prompt delivery of mall all the year and they attract to the
county the very best class of Immigrants; they contribute to the elevation
pf 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.

THE SWEET SAVOUR OF CONTENT.
“Sweet are’ the thoughts that savour of content” sang an old English
bard, Robert Greene. Three hundred and more years have passed since
he penned his lines. As he looked over the varied life of bis day, with Its
intellectual ferment. Its restless ambitions, Its ceaseless plottings. Its
upward struggles of the npasses, Its seething discontents, its angry rending
| of old customs that too long had bound mankind In chains, be doubtless
thought that the most strenuous period of human history bad come. To
him “a quiet mind was richer than a crowne.” His son! yearned for the
restful ease of the “homely home that harbours quiet rest, the cottage that
affords no pride nor care.” He realized, as many before him and many
since have realized, that, after all, contentment Is the only safe basis on
which to build tho castle of Sappiness, the only sure refuge from the pitiless
storms that beset life.
Today, no less than In the time of Henry. Elizabeth and the Stuarts, It
Is true that “beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss.” We are all too
opt to be carried off our feet by outward circumstances, by pomp and
show, by the mere external trappings of life, Into the feelings that In them,
and them only, lies happiness. Out of this false aggrandizement of the
minor value of these outward conditions of existence grow the envy, the
jealousy, the cankering desire to emulate vain displays of wealth and fashion
that-have become unfortunately too marked a feature of our present era.
Contentment is destroyed, there Is a ceaseless yearning after things that
are beyond reach, a feverish, unhealthful desire that destroys all pleasure
in the Joys that lie within eas ygrasp. The happiness at band is ruthlessly
thrust asldp In a desperately foolish and equally vain ambition to seize
elusive costly pleasures that those in conditions of greater affluence find
but a fleeting satisfaction tn. The humble home with ito qweetness of
love and peace and Innocence loses Its Eden-ttko charm, the quiet Joys
[ that are Inexpensive, but which cultivate the mind, e’nrjch and ennoble the
soul, and leave life purer and stronger, are regarded with indifference or
scorn and forsaken for a feeble, vapid Imitation of the meretricious pursuits
of the millionaire. Life takes on a false perpective entirely. It Is forgotten
that In pleasure, as In other things, “all Is not gold that glistens.’’ Gradual
ly the mind becomes embittered and the soul calloused. Pitiful, indeed, the
state to which the victim of such n false ambition has fallen. Fortunate
the man or woman who, awakening before It Is too late to a proper valuation
of life and what It offers, accepts Ito' Innumerable blessings as they coihe
fresh from the band of God, with a heart full of thankfulness, rejoicing
the rich privilege of appreciative enjoyment **—‘—* * • - -
day for them, their world Is full of brightness. To
both jrowne and kingdom is."
Cultivate contentment It is t!
the source of Infinite peace
The white-faced watchers rose, be

“Shut out the day,” they sighed; “our

THE FUTURE OF GEORGIA'S DE
JIOCBACY.
(Savannah Evening Press.)
The old time leaders and forma of
Democracy have been overthrown,
but the principles of the party will
live and the people will return to
Ito more conservative teachings. Just
now a very extreme wing has come
Into power, but we do not believe for
an Instant that Mr. Hoke Smith is an
extremist His entrance Into politics
was under the wing of President
Grover Clevland, and he represented
the conservative faction, while The
Constitution and the Hon. Clark
Howell represented the more radical
wing. There Is a belief that the Oeor
gla Democracy, as constituted for
the last ten years, was too tender-
foqtcd with the railroads. At any
rate the people were In favor of
more aggressive policy, and they have
brought about a new order of things.
It may be that some of the discredited
leaders will be brought to the front
and that some undemocratic measure
may be passed, but the heart of the
party Is all right The people will
swlnft round for the assertion of
sound measures and time-honored
principles.
The State press has had more
merriment over Gov. Smith’s
cent appointments than over any
event of the year. The fact that
Smith does not think that Judge
Gober Is a politician has stirred the
risibilities of the pnbllc generally.
