The Atlanta papers are trying to
create a craze throughout the State
for "good roads”—that is to say, good
roads for Atlanta and the automobil-
ists. While the country people desire
good roads, they do not want them
built for the mere pleasure of those
who own automobiles. There are too
many automobiles on our country roads
now—so many, in fact, that people are
afraid to venture out with their home
turnouts. We simply dread the things,
and can’t help it.
If the rains continue the farms will
soon be overrun with grass, for it is
coming up as thick as the hair on a dog’s
back.
