HIGHWAYS VITAL TO
BETTER CIVILIZATION
European Experience Proves Need of
Roads in America.
The part that highways play in the '
progress cf civilization is well shown
by the experience of Europe during
the past 2,000 years. From the gol- |
den milestone in Rome great highways
were built to the remotest bound of
the Roman Empire. Over them went
the Roman soldier, and with them
went the Roman soldier, and with him
law and order. Over them went the
Greek schoolmaster, and with him
schools and colleges. Over them went
the missionary of the Cross, and with
him the church, hospital, medical sci
ence, and improved agriculture.
Present day halls of justice, schools,
colleges and universities, great
churches and cathedrals, and the max
imum of population, wealth and cul
ture, are found along the highways
thrown out from Rome.
On that fateful July day, when the
German thrust the point of his wedge
between the English and the French
at Chateau Thierry, and there was not
a man or a gun to oppose their march
to the English Channel, it was the
highways which saved Europe. Fflty
miles away were forty thousand U S.
Marines and other troops and a thou
sand American-made motor trucks.
Due to the splendid roads of France,
they arrived on time and the “shock
troops” of the German Army wer3
hurled back. The motor truck and
that roads of France saved civilization
If for twenty centuries the system
of highways has been the mold into
which sixty generations of Europeans
have been run and have taken shape,
who can measure the influence on
American life of a national highway
system, gridironing this land between
ocean and ocean and connecting all
the county seats of all the states.
When the rate of speed on Europe’s
roads was but three to six miles per
hour for passengers and two miles per
hour for freight, the highway deter
mined twenty centuries of history
What will be the effect on American
life with highways which speed up the
movement of passengers to twenty-five
or even forty miles an hour and of
freight to twelve or even thirty miles
per hour, at the same time reducing
the cost?

RUSCO BELTING
Solid Woven-Waterproof
Does more work and saves money
RUSCO being solid-woven is, of
„ course, without plies. Plied,
or built-up belting, either canvas or
leather, cemented or stitched to
gether, doesn’t last long. Loosened
plies cannot pull evenly.
Before Rusco goes to you it is
stretched, cured and tested. In it r
is embodied “93 years of knowing
how’’. It will return more service T^vlf 77
for dollars invested than any other \ Wa
type of belt made. fll
Rusco Factory Belting is made by j.
the oldest and largest solid-woven
belting manufacturers in America —
The Russell Manufacturing Co. of

Norris Hardware G>.
almost anywhere in the state to any
where else without getting stuck in the
mud, has linked all her county seats
with a good road system, and provid
ed main State highways which girdle
the State and leave nothing to be de
sired on the part of the tourist.
It took ten years to education and
five of construction before this result
was attained; and the end is not yet
for it is proposed to spend up to two
hundred millions on state roads be
fore the job is finished
With wonderful scenic beauty and a
location on a direct line for all tourist
travel north and south, North Caroli
na does not propose to lose the bene
fits which the automobile may bring
in tourist travel, in social intercourse,
in modern country schools, in good
health, in increased commerce, in the
influx of modern civilization to re
i mote districts. It has been a. Hercu
j lean task to arrange so comprehensive
a system of financing as is necessary
for so large an expenditure, and deu
cate those without experience of the
blessings of good roads to the need of
1 supplying the money. But progressive
and public spirited citizens of the
state have done the work and all
North Carolina is reaping the benefit.
North Carolina’s experience, similar
to that of others which have gone thru
the same process, is but another argu
ment for the idea that the Nation’s
good roads problem will never be
properly solved until it, like its pro
gressive states, provdies a national
system of highways, to be built and
forever maintained by the National
Government, just as the good roads
states build and maintain their indivi
dual good systems.

Henry Hopkins
Descendant of
Sir Martin Key
Among the descendnats of Sir Mar
tin Key, Waynesboro has the distinc
tion of being represented in the per
son of Mr. Henry C. Hopkins, wno is
a great, great, great grandson.
The estate is in the heart of the
city of New York, and will be
the outcome of the recent develop
ments cannot be fortold at present as
it is in the hands of attorneys for in
vestigation.
Mr. Hopkins, is the great grandson
of Joshua Key, one of the sons of
Martin Key, who settled in Burke
county years ago. Joshua Key set
tled near what is now Keysville, the
place taking its name from the family
and the old water mill and dam which
he built there is still in good repair.
Joshua Key left it to his son, Joshua
Scott Key.
Sir Martin Key had twelve chil
dren six cf whom became heads of
families so the number of heiis will
run into a large figure. Mr. Hopkins
has one brother, Mr. Olmstead Key
Hopkins, who is the missionary from
the South Georgia Conference to Cuba.
Mrs. Joseph Manley, of Grffln, is a
sister of Mr. Hopkins. Also kinsman
of his uncle, Calvin Jones Key, are
direct descendants; Mrs. Henry Bell
Hodgkins, of Savannah, Miss Jessie
Key, of Washington, D. C., and Mrs.
W. A. Key, of Macon.
LARGE NUMBER OF DESCENDANTS
OF MARTIN KEY TRACED BY
PROFESSIONAL GENEALO
GIST
Statesboro, Ga., Dec. 15.—At the re
quest of numerous descendants of Mar
tin Key, one of Georgia’s professional
genealogists has traced a number of
the lines of his family which is so
much before the public just at this
time, and has come across a number
of facts which will probably be of
general intreest.
Martin Key, of England, who mar
ried the younger sister of Lady Jane
; Grey, was the first of the family to
come to this country. His grandson,
John Key, who was the first white
child born of English parents in
Philadelphia, was one of the pioneer
! settlers of Albemarle county, Virginia
having emigrated to that state in 1732.
His son, Martin, who married Nancy
Bibb of the same state, had twelve chil
dren, as follows: Thomas, John, Mar
tin, Tandy, Joshua, William Bibb, Hen
ry, Jesse, James, Walter, Elizabeth
and Martha. The descendents of these
heirs of Martin Key are scattered
throughout the southern states and
quite a number of them are now in
Georgia.
Among the legal heirs are the de
scendants of William Bibb Key (son
of Martin) who was the first of the
family to come to this state and
those of Mrs. Elizabeth Key Watts who
came to Wilkes county, Georgia. Soon
after the Revolution Tandy Clark,
James and Henry, Jr., sons of Henry,
Sr., (he the son of Martin) came to
this state from South Carolina and
settled In Burke and Jefferson coun
ties. In about 1815 Joshua, the son
of Thomas (who was a son of Martin)
came ot Augusta, thence to Burke
county. Later Joseph the son of
Tandy who was the son of Martin,
settled in Middle Georgia.
Among the living descendants of
these heirs in Georgia are: J. H. and
W. H. Griffin, of Washington; Mrs.
Minnie Griffin Boswell, of Greensboro;
Mrs. U. N. Brodie, of Waycross; Mrs.
J. H. Robinson, Mrs. Jule Felton, J.
H. Robinson, Jr., Mrs. C. C. Maffett
Gilbert C. Robinson, Adam Robinson,
Ernest and Weldon Robinson, and
Miss Clarie Robinson, of Montezuma,
Georgia; Mrs. G. C. Carmichael, of
Statesboro, Mrs. A. S. Kelley, of Ten
nille, Mrs. O. L. McLemore, Misses.
Mary Lou and Julia Carmichael, of
Statesboro; Mrs. William Key Bell and
Mrs. Geo. P. Burdick, of Sparta, Geor
gia, G. C. Bell, of Augusta, Walter R.
Beil, of Atlanta, Mrs. Mary Neeley
Smith, of Griffin and others heirs of
Henry Key.
Some of the descendants of Thomas
Key are: Mrs. Lucy Key McCall, Miss
Bertha McCall and Mrs. Fred Mat
trich, of Macon; F. L. Key, of Adrian;
Mrs. Virginia Moore, of Dublin; Rev!
Leland Moore, of Statesboro, Henry
C. Hopkins, of Whynesboro; and
Newell Smith of Keysville.
In the Tandy Key line will be
found: Mrs. W. G. Mahone, Mrs.
Frank Orme, Mrs. M. B. Grant, and
Cliff Key, of Atlanta; and W. H. Key,
of Monticello.
Of the William Bibb Key line are;
James Key (ex-Mayor of Atlanta),
Miss Lola Key, of Norcross, and oth
er members of their families.
This is not intended to trace the
lines in full but only to show that
there are a number of Keys in Geor
gia who have their family records
and claim their proportionate share of
the enormous key estate in New York
In fact a number of them now have
several well known law firms in Ne.v
York and elsewhere at work on the
case. It is to be hoped that the mat
ter may be settled on the principle of
‘Equal right for all—special privilige
for none.”

MEDICINE is a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire

the inflammation can be reduced, your

Civic Clubs Urged
to Secure Farmers
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 21. —The sugges
tion made recently by the agricultural
agents cf the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railway that the civic
clubs of Southern cities generally can
do a fine work by taking up the prob
lem of finding Southern rural homes
for northern and western farmers who
are eager to locate where the climate
is more genial, has been received in
many southern cities with great inter
est, and reports received shew that
steps will soon be taken in that direc
tion.
There are thousands of acres of fine
farming lands in the south capable of
the highest degree of cultivation now
lying idle. “It is just such land is the
northern farmers would wish.” said A.
D. Daniel, general passenger agent of
the A. B. and A. system who has been
making a close study of the situation,
together with Colonel B. L. Bugg and
J. L. Edwards.
The railway officials, who have con
ferred with leading agriculturists
point out that there is room in the
fisouth for many good farmers from
other parts cf the country.
The Commissioner of Agriculture of
Georgia, says diversified afiriculture is
being developed in the south as never
before, and the northern and western
farmer, already acquanited
with the benefits to be derived from
diversification, would be able to pros
per greatly under southern climatic
conditions and with the rich soil await
ing only their energetic cultivation.
