VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
Discussed by Rev. George
R. Stuart.
George R. Stuart was one of the
prime movers in the good roads of
Bradley county, Tennessee. For
several successive terms of the
county court he went before that
body and made a speech on good
roads. He went out through the
country and preached good roads.
He had plans made by experts of a
bridge to be built across the creek
and of a grade of the road lead
ing from the town of Cleveland to
his farm, and took the sketch be
fore county court and offered to bear
one half the expense of grading
this road and building this bridge.
This proposition was accepted by
the county, the bridge was built, the
road was graded, and this was the
first start of the good roads in Brad
ley county.
Mr. Stuart has the following to
say about the value of good roads to
a community.
Good roads, whether railroads or
macadamized pikes, are great com
merciallzers and civilizers. The first
law of commerce is transportation.
Every article must reach the market
before it can be sold. Easy, con ven
lent and rapid transit constitutes the
leading element of prosperity. Cir
culation means health; stagnation
means disease and death. The more
easily people are able to move about,
the greater inducement to move; and
the more movement the more busi
ness. When a man starts out on
any road to go any where for any
purpose, business begins, he starts on
a mission of business or pleasure. If
he takes a horseless machine, he be
gins to wear machinery, use fuel, pa
tronize hotels and boarding houses
and to do business and to talk busi
ness. Business is created along the
highways and thru the country where
people travel. Nothing draws people
to a county and through a country
like easy, cheap and comfortable trans
I portatlon.
The first thing necessary to such
transportation is a road bed. Easy
and cheap transportation means the
movement of many articles which
would never be moved with bad
roads and difficult transportation.
Before a railroad starts through a
country few articles are shipped to
1 market; but as transportation be
comes convenient and cheap the
variety of articles shipped to market
multiplies. A few years ago art!- '
cles shipped ns far as one hundred
miles to market were very few. To
day, everything raised on a farm
from a horse to a tomato is shipped.
All kinds of animals, fowls, grains,
vegetables, fruits etc., are hurried
miles and often hundreds of miles to
tile markets of the country. A good
pike through a county or state or sec
tlon opens up business just like a
railroad. The advantages are even i
more distributed among the people
because every man who owns a horse
or wagon or a machine of any kind
becomes in a sense tlie owner of the
means of transportation, just like a
railroad company on a large scale I
owns the rolling stock of its road.
Outside of the tremenduous in
: ducement which brings hundreds of
strangers through a section on ac
! count of good roads, there are innu
merable advantages to the people lo
cally. The time and machinery sav
ed to the ordinary citizens by good
I roads Is Immense. Take two farm
ers, each living ten miles from mar
ket. The first lives on a well-grad
ed macadamized pike, the second on
an ordinary southern road. The first
man can make a trip to market in
half the time with twice the load and
half the wear and tear on his ma-
I chine and stock; he can go in all
kinds of weather, night or day. When
these advantages are calculated thru
years the commercial value of good
roads to a citizen become very great.
Outside of the commercial value the
pleasure and convenience of such a
road are worth considering. The fa
cilities with which women, and chil
dren and incompetent drivers make
Journeys and the fact that travel is
unimpeded by the conditions of the
weather, add much to the value of
good roads. The pleasure of making
a trip over a good road, as compared
to making a trip over a bad road, is
inestimable.
A practical experience. Take a sec
tion of East Tennessee, where farm
lauds were good in a river section
from ten to twenty miles from the
railroad, with roads exceedingly
rough and in winter and wet weath
er, almost impassable. Strangers
were frequently driven out through
this country with a view of selling
farms: but the distances from the
railroad, the difficulty of transporta
tion. the time required, the strain on
man. beast and vehicle invariably
scared off the purchaser. The farm
ers, on account of the bad roads,
breakage of wagons, wear and tear
of harness and horses, small loads
and length of time required to trav
erse a few miles, were unable to get
their products to market and sell
TH* BVMMBMVHAW NBWB, TNWWAY, JVLT ». IM>,
them for a profit sufficient to Justi
fy them in raising the crop.
Bonds were issued, a first class
graded pike was run through this
section. The whole situation was
revolutionized. The beautiful pike
showed up the fences along the
line of the pike in such a contrast
that the farmers began to build new
fences. The nice, smooth pike in
duced the purchase of new buggies
and Hurries and new harness; this
necessitated better care of the horses
i this Induced better barns and stables,
good barns put to shame the old
houses, and they were renewed and
painted. Good pikes Induced the
building of walks and drives to the
house; new buggies, surries and nice
teams quadrupled the number of peo
ple at church on Sunday morning.
The old churches must be renewed;
more children can get to school and
the old school house must be chang
ed, enlarged and kept better. The
easy transportation enables the farm
er to hurry into market in one-fourth
the time, with three times the load,
and one-half the wear and tear on
stock and wagon. Strangers were
driven rapidly over the beautiful
pik«'s through this section and were
! convinced that farm products
, could be easily transported to mar
ket, rich lands were abundantly able
to produce and that there was a prof
it in these splendid lands brought so
close to market by the excellent
roads. Farm lands rapidly changed
hands and progressive farmers took
: charge, the pike was crowded with
wagons and vehicles, hurrying into
markets. Business increased in the
railroad towns, and houses were built
The whole country took on a new
phase. The good roads touched ev
; cry department of life.
There is absolutely no computa
tion of what a good road through
any community will bring in busi
ness, social and religious wealth. —

PAYS FOR MAKING A SOT
Saloonist Forced to Settle for Lead
ing Man Astray.
The supreme court of Michigan
has ruled that a wife is entitled to
heavy damages from a saloonist who
makes a sot out of a good husband.
Mrs. Nettie Marrlnane of Jackson,
Mich., brought suit for SIO,OOO dam
ages in the circuit court against Fred
Miller, a Grass Lake saloonist, and
his bondsmen, C. C. Corwin, George
Rank, and Barney Teuful, alleging
that Miller sold liquor to her hus
band, thereby causing her to lose
her bank account, her home and the
I companionship of her husband.
The Marrinanes formerly lived at
Grass Lake, where he was a tele- |
graph operator. They owned their
1 home, had a snug bank account and
were generally prosperous, till the
man started drinking at Miller’s sa
loon. Mrs. Marrlnane then sued and
got a S6OO verdict, but she appealed
to the supreme court and the latter
declared that the verdict was too
small and ordered a new trial. This
resulted in a verdict of $5,925 being
awarded the woman, which was up
held.
WHERE THE CORN GOES.
People often wonder, particularly
those who have traveled for hundreds
of miles through the corn belt, what
becomes of the corn which is grown
every year. In the year 1908, when
the total crop was 2.666,000,000
bushels, 241,000,000 bushels were
consumed in flour and grist mill
products, 8.000,000 bushels in the:
manufacture of starch, 9,000,000 j
bushels for malt liquors, 17,000.000
bushels in the production of distilled
liquors, 40.000,000 bushels for glu
cose, 190,000.000 bushels for export
and 13,000,000 bushels for seed,
making a total of 518,000,000 bush-;
els, or 19.3 per cent of the entire
crop. The remaining 80.7 per cent.,
or 2.118,000,000 bushels, seems to
have been used almost entirely for
feeding.
If a man has no enemies, he may
put it down that he has failed to
do his duty on some lines. The man
who sticks under all conditions to
fixed principles and defends them,
is sure to have enemies. The world
has all sorts of people in it, and
every line of principle will meet with
determined opposition. So the ef
fort to please everybody inevitably
results in signal failure.
The difference between a compli
ment and flattery is whether you
get it or somebody else. »
If Methuselah had been as wise as
some modern financiers, he would
have owned the earth long before he ■
was gathered to his fathers.

BILL AIMED AT FEE SYSTEM
Provides That Jury Fix Salaries
of County Officers.
A bill aimed at the fee system in
Georgia has been introduced by Sena
tor H. H. Perry of the Thirty-eighth
district.
This measure bears the caption of
“A bill to provide for fixing the sal
aries of the county officers.” It pro
vides that the grand jury shall fix
the salaries of various county offi
cers immediately following the elec
tions, and that such officials shall
receive no compensation other than
that fixed by the grand Jury. It spe
: cifies that costs and other compensa
tions shall not go to such officials.
Undoubtedly if this measure is
passed it will go far toward wiping
out the fee system in the state and
place county officials on a strict sal
ary basis.
BAPTISTS ASSEMBLY
MEETS AT BLUE RIDGE.
The first annual meeting of the
Georgia Baptist assembly will occur
at Blue Ridge on August 8 and the
sessions will last until August 23.
A very elaborate program has been
arranged for the meeting, including
devotional exercises, addresses and
song service. There will be singing
by the best musical talent and talks
by the ablest Baptist divines in the
isouth.
During the week prior to the meet
ing of the assembly the state Bap
tist Young People’s Union will meet
at Blue Ridge.
Plan to Colonize 200,000 Negroes.
A $1,500,000 corporation with the
; colonization of 200,000 negroes in
j southeast Missouri as its object has
I been organized in St. Louis after
ten years of effort by E. B. Hale, a
; negro, of St. Louis county.
It is Hale’s plan to build homes
I for the negroes on 37,000 acres of
land in Carter and Butler counties,
on which his company has an option.
The company will be conducted on
: the co-operative basis. All supplies
for the community will be handled by
■ the company, and all produce will
ibe sold through it. A part of the
land will be examined with the view
! of sinking iron and lead mines.
No white man will be allowed to
live on the property.
UNCLE SAM’S ARMY.
His Military Burdens Heavier Than
Those of Any Other Country.
The standing army of the United
! States is now a little more than 50,-
000. Up to the breaking out of the
Spanish-American war it was about
26,000, and filled all requirements.
■ Now, however, since we have pos
sessed ourselves of various island de-
I pendencies that must be garrisoned
and guarded we have the need for
far more soldiers. Gen. F. D. Grant
is “pulling” for standing army of
not less than 150,000 men, with a
large reserve. He doesn't look for
war at any time in the near future,
but says the present army is wholly
inadequate to its work, and must be
enlarged if we are to maintain the
position we have assumed. Our mill
: tary burdens at present—including
1 army, navy and pensions—are !
heavier than those of any other coun
try; yet the military branches are
: always calling for more money.
