K ITHKiIIXE lAHTtA’ : • [■bMWIMBti-- ■ jib 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. — Dalton Argus. 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.

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.
