BEITER ROADS.
How to have better roads seems
to be a difficult problem for the law
makers of qur parish, and even our
State, or else the importance has
never been realized 1n this country.
It seems to me that the necessity
for better roads is fast dawning up—
on the people of (‘harlton county.
The so-called public roads are in
many, many places today, almost
impassable, and the expense of re
pairing a broken bnggy or wagon,
“besides the loss of time and a crip
pled animal is sumething worth
thinking about.
Mary people never stop to figure
in their minds the real value that
goud roods would be to every farm
er, every merchant, and. in fact,
every person in the country.
Of course we all know that it is
more pleasant to drive over a good
road than a bad one, but that is not
all that whichisinvolved n
the necessity for better roads.
(Good dirt rcrds throughout the
courtry should be an objeet of spec
ial interest to every citizen,
We can easily see the wonderful
possibilities that better roads would
bring to all sections of the country.
The railroads have made markets
possible, but a railroad is not a mar=
ket. (f a man lives one mile from
his market place and the road is so
bad. that he cannot carry what he
has to market, he might as well be
twanty miles from any market, while
on the other hand, if he is fifteen or
twonty miles from market and the
~ road is good, he can place his pro:
- ducts on the market, which brings a
‘Better still, for illustration, take a
co;mmmity five miles from town and
mafie the dirt roads to that point as
good as they can be made, and the
man who lived five mles from town
could have a good team and a light
wagon, and with a cheap boy and
the gnod road, he could kee) poss-i
ed ia the prices of his prorducts, so
that he could remain on his farm,
and do as well as the man who hved
nearer the market.
It is understood, however, that
we cannot reach perfection in the
road business at once, bnt we can
move in the matter, and move at
once, and reap a rich reward for
every step in that direction. The
_ present system of working the pub~|
lic roads 1s a failure, and not only
deserves the earnest coundideration
of the farmer, but the merchants and
all of the people In’the country, and
in the towns and villages,
The town people are very much
interested because a large part of
the support of the town comes from
country trade. .
To attract this trade, better roads
to the town 1s the most important
question. ;
To: the liveryman, «farmer and
everycne who drives, better roads
mean more pleasant drives, a quick
er trip, less strain on teams and a
great saving in the wear and tear of
vehicles.
It is time to awaken to the im
portance of better roads and study
how we can bring them about.
Yours for better roads,
Home & Farm. E. S. MURREL.
Joe ~ James, Camden county’s
champion colored cotton farmer
sent us a cotton bloom picked from
his twelve acre field of cotton on
May 27th. Joe is one of those hon
est, industrious colored men who
has the confidence and proper res
pect of all who know him. He
reports a good crop of corn, pota
toes, &c. He made on his last
year’s crop nearly an average of a
bale per acre and took a premium
on a bale of his cotton at the state
fair in Atlanta. '
CARD OF {HANKS
On leaving the city of Folkston [
should not feel satisfied without
imaking some statement to the l:oys
jand girls as well as their parents for
itheir kind and hospitable treatment.
lln my travels and experience ac
,teacher, I have never met such kind
pleasant and considerate children.
Morning after morning [ was greeted
with a kind. approving smile and
satisfied countenance. When I was
iriitable, I was borne patiently;
when I was peaceful, I was given
more pleasure, and, was shown that
life was stiill blooming. All these
are indeed very smalil things, but
taken on the whole they are what
make the profession of teaching
worth following. I assure you every
one that, though I may teach for
many years to come, and in thei
meantime forget your names, [ shall
neves forget the little things thati
have made my stay with you so
pleasant, 1
l'o the parents [ can say nothing
more than Sam Jones said: *Our
children are just like us.” In this
instance I have found this to be
true. I assure you, too, that if you
keep good teachers, your boys and
girls will make men and women you'
will have reason to be proud of,
Folkston will be honored for them;l
Charlton county, and even the state
lof Géorgia will boast of. I thank
you, each and every one for the
kind and consiberate treatment and
hearty patronage and hope to have
the honor of meeting vou again in
tke future and that you will be the
same good people 1 have this year

JOS. M. BROWN!
SWEPT THE STATE.
Not satisfied with carrying Fulton
county, he carried Gov. Smith’s
own ward. Conservetive estimates
give Brown the anomination by
10,000 to 15,000, but Mt. Browa’s
managers say when official court is
all in, that 1t will run as much as
140,000. Former Gov. Terrell thinks
that Brown has won by 50,000. The
indications are that most of the fore
mer incumbents have been re-electea
and State Treasurer I ark won by a
safe majority. Theindicatsons point
to the election of Col, E. Lawton

IN MEMORIAM.
Little Sammy Rogers, -infant son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Rogers,, of
Lofton, Fla,, died at his home last
Tuesday and was brought here for
interrment Wednesday moining.
‘Ah, Oh, when aweary, may we be
so blest,
And sink like the innocent child
to rest,
And feel ourselves clasped to the
Infinite breast.” .
Thus over a happy home the shad
ow of a little grave has fallen; and,
as another has said, it 1s wonderful
how long a shadow a _little grave
can throw.
This beautiful beautiful baby life
was so precious, so frought with
blessings to his parents that he
seemed a flower of paradise permit
ted to bloom for a brief season by
their side, then recalled to its na
ture skies, leaving the earth road
for them dark and lonely indeed.
And when the messenger came
from the unseen lands to claim the
dainty darling as his own:
He only crossed his little hands,
He only looked more meek and fair,
We parted back his silken hair,
We wove the roses round his brow,
White buds, the summer’s drifted
snow,
Wrapt him from head to foot in
flowers, ‘
And thus he went out of this worldi
‘of ours. ‘
