Good Roads
Since there has been so much
talk about the goo 1 roads, I have
at last got the consent of my mind
to give my views on the matter
without any inclination to spread
out in print. I have made it a
point for sometime to ascet ain
what the people generaly think a
bout the two gieat questions now
being agitated, first building roads
by convict labor. *do not know
what the cost of preparation, main*
tainance, guard mg,etc. will amount
to, hence 1 am undesided as to
whether or not it would he best for
us in Dade county to work them,
however, 1 am sure we need better
roads and am in favor of having
them, hut at the least, expense to
citizens. I have always favored a
road law that would bear equal on
all shoulders and my opinion is
we can do this only by levying a
tar sufficient to do it, letting every
body pav in proportion to his state
and county tax and forever abolish
the discrimination of working and
compelling the weaker class to hear
the four days burden they as a gen
eral thing are the least able to bear
and altogather least benefited by
good roads. 1 see men digging on
the roads who have not a vehicle
to go over it, vet he must dig tour
days or pay four dollars. 1 know,
and so does every one, that these
same men need four dollars
worse to buy the necessaries of life
or pay a doctor’s bill or perchance
for medicine for his sick child or
wife, than he needs good roads. I
know this has been an unjust bur
den imposed upon these pea pie for
the last fifteen or twenty years, I
know too we have all worked and
paid our taxes, and have improved
our main thoroughfare all the way
through this county from fivehun
dred to one thousand per cent in
the last eighteen years. Now we
have it so it is passable and some
comfort in traveling it but just as
we reach this point the greatest ini
position that was ever thrust upon
careless unthinking people lias in
vades our roadthe automobile)
which has virtually driven us off,
there is not a family I know of hut
what dreads to go on it for fear
they will meet or he overtaken by
one of these nuisances.
I am in favor of the citizens, the
wfiole tax paying concern, to pay
for planting out shade trees on both
side of our roads, I would be will
ing to plant them at my own ex
pense, through my laad, if other
farmers would do the same. If we
will do what we can to beautify
and improve our roads, fences,
stock and farming we might he
able some day to induce immigra
tion. I have noticed that Dade is
loosing a great many of her citizens
i\ e times as many a are moving in.
8, H. Austin
Having been requested to write
1 short article on the recent con
vict legislation and ijs relation to
the Good Road problem, I take
this opportunity to comply.
I venture the assertion, in the
outset, that there is not a o.inty

in Georgia that would recieve as
great a benefit from one good road
running through it as our own
county of Dade. A first class pub
lie road built through the valley,
from the Tennessee line to the Ala
bama line, would insure to the be
nefit of every individual in the
county, and add to the commercial
value of every acre of land in the
county, as well as to every other
species of property. The value
thus added would be many times
greater than the cost of building
the road. Then, as a plain busi
ness proposition, why not have the
road? To build this road it would
cost approximately fifty thousand
dollars. Why not issue bonds,
build the road at once, and beget
ting the benefit of the same! The
old cry of “saddling a debt on pro
sperity” is puerile and senseless,
when you take into consideration
the fact you are bequeathing some
thing of incalculable benefit.
Byslightly increasing the taxes
we are already paying for road
purposes, and for which we have
been receiving little of tangible be
nefit, the bonds could be taken care
of and paid off in ten orfiiteen years.
By utilizing the convict labor
made available by the passage of
the recent convict bill, the sost of
building the road could no doubt,
be materially reduced from the es
timate 1 have given. Unless Dade
county avails herself of her oppor
tunity to take and work convicts
at once, s|je will be forced to act
ually contribute to the building of
roads in the larger and richer cou
nties. This may not be a pleasing
thought, but the truth nevertheless-
Citizens of Dade, the questioh|j|
now squarely up to you, and wharf
are you going to do about it?
Your represntatives in the Gen
eral Assembly labored earnestly
and conscientiously to protect your
interests in this matter by advoca
ting what is known as the Holder
bill, under which, in my opinion,
Dade county could have built this
road, with the help of the state,
without ever issuing a dollars
worth of bonds.
QDade county is endowed with
greater possibilities than any other
spot T know. The enormous power
contained in her stream which at
present flows idly to the Tennessee,
the great wealth of minerals hid
den away in her hills and moun
tains, the great diversity and rich
ness of soil ail simply await proper
development.
In conclusion, 1 would say to
the people of Dade, BUILD THIS
R()A D. If you are a croaker, stop
it. If you are a knocker, quit it.
Line up for progress and prosper
ity, work togather for your own
and the county’s upbuilding, and
there is not a question but that old
Dade will blossom as the rose.
