CHARLTON COUNTY HERALD VOL. Xl.--NO. 2. 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 i &"'.*..\%%fi&fl 80 to, Lyons, Ga. where ope to contnue ny life work undet as favorable aus pices as 1 have here. lam now, and aiways expect to be, Yours truly, 7" J.

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.

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. ‘ T . \ The artesian well made very Jittle progress this week. In fact, noth ing has been done since Monday afternoon, At 11 o’:lock very hard rock was struck at a depht of 330 ft. ‘Tuesday morning Mr, Russel was sick, so work was discontinued until after the primary.
