and It must have been an Inspiring
scene. Ttie idea is excellent and could
he duplicated with proiil in many a
rural southern community.
On the same plan is the designation
of “good roads days.” The county
commissioners give otiicinl color to
this by declaring certain days good
roads days and issue a call to the citi
zens of tlie entire county to turn out
and work the roads. The people in
that part of the summer when farm
work is slack will lie found more than
willing to take part in such a patriotic
job. and a surprisingly large amount
of good can lie accomplished. The
roads can he shaped up, ditches cleaned
out arid the road drag turned to good
use. t’o-operation is the “order of tin
day” in all lines of endeavor, and
where there is kicking a system of
financial bucking sufficient to construct
permanent highways, this “lice idea"
and the “good roads day" idea will be
productive of good in more ways than
one. -Southern Good Loads.
VALUE OF ROAD KEEFERS.
Rational Plan For Rspairing High
ways at Little Cost.
Several states in the United States
have spent millions of debars in build
ing improved roads. All states spend
vast sums every year in road making
and repairing. And it is strange, but
true, that a large proportion of all this
money is wasted, improved roads,
built at great cost, arc systematically
let alone until they become had again,
when there is u howl about the repair
bill. Ordinary roads are fixed up once
a year and then neglected until the an
imal repairing is due. The rational
plan of having road keepers to take
care of the roads all tlie time does not
seem to have found favor anywhere in

been in successful operation abroad.
A little work at the right time will
save a lot of it later on almost, any
road, yet we continue to follow the
wasteful plan of waiting till the bill
grows bigger. On all- our improved
roads men should he kept constantly
at work, and the same is true of most
ordinary dirt roads. A couple of men
and a team can care for quite a stretch
of road and do it cheaper than tic
same road can he kept in repair by a
spasmodic effort. Often made by those
who know little about roads. National

TO LAY TRACK IN VALDOSTA.
Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 29—Con
lentanation proceedings for a
right-of-way for the Georgia and
Florida railroad through the
southern part of the city were
concluded today, and the road
will begin at once the laying of
its trucks connecting its line
through the city. The Georgia
and Florida has been using the
Atlantic Coast Line tracks for
more than a mile since it was
built two years ago, switching on
to the Coast Line on the eastern
edge of town and using the lat
ter’s passenger station. When
the new loop through the city
connecting the Madison and
il.-r/ burst divisions is complet
'd the fond will build its own
station and use its own tracks.
The ofltcials of the road were un
able to make a satisfactory deal
with a number of property own
ers on Crane avenue, and it be
came necessary to leave the ad
jti.-rmei t of values to a board ot
irbitration. The right-of-way
! tl< tig most of the route was readi
!ly obtained by the road, the
property being arbitrated bring
ing about .+ - 000. The contract

'route, and the grading of the
1 mad lots already been let, and it
jis understood that the work will
'begin as soon us the contractors
•an get material on the ground.
\ hile it is announced that the
mad will later build a very hund
- me ;.-a -miiger station, it will at
• first ■-ri-et a temporary structure.
Tlie t ~-orgia and Florida’s tracks
