For catalog write to 8. C. Mitchell, President, Columbia, S. C. A Svrmoii on (ioo<l KojmJk. Maybe tli/j road question ain't none of my business. Then, by granny, I'll just Hinder away and talk about it anyhow. Strikes me that every feller who can ride, walk, hop or crawl ought to take twine IntereHt In the road question. You don't have to own a thousand dollar gasoline chug-wagon with a voice like many thunders and an odor like a tan yard in order to be interested in good roads. If you are the principal stock holder in a yoke of bull calves and five dollar wagon loaded with 3 trull crossties and mired up to the top bolster in a mud-hole, you ought to cut your bulls loone and ride one of them into town, waving your last year'B hat and yelling hur rah for good roads!. And even if you posseHB nothing in thin world but your mammy's match - bosses and have to go as bare looted as a shoemaker's wife, there ain't no uho to slop around in the sour mud and get 10,000 John Rocky hook worms to boring gimlet holes in your whitleather heels and climb ing up inside of your legs like an army of Taft Democrats going to hog-heaven. If I was a barefooted nigger and had to make my living by running foot races with a one eyed muley steer, hanged if 1 wouldn't want good roads to run on. Dirt is a good thing if it is good clean dirt "and rich enough to grow 'taters and thingB. But, oh! deliver me from mud! I have always hated the stuff, and some of my experiences thin winter have made me hate it wusser'n ever. 1 live live miles from the railroa.d and during all this bad winter there has been just one mud-hole between here and the depot. Hut the blamed thing reach ed all the way. A four horse team goes straining through the mud with about half as much as a wpek ohl calf could pull on good roads, while the fool driver Wades along at one side and whips and cusses. If he had a good macadam or sand clay road he could take one ,of his mule sand haul four times more than they all pull, adn do It with four times the ease and satisfaction. The average wagoner could make more clear money in one day than ho now makes In a month. But the poor idiot never thinks about that. If you mention a tax for building good roads, he will put up a pitiful mouth and say, "Oh, our taxes are so heavy already, we just couldn't stand a road tax!" And then he will larrup his bone - piles and tug on through the mud, think ing he has put up a koo<1 argument. He don't realize that he is losing enough every day to pay his part of the tax for a year. Poor fool! Now, gentlemen, 1 ain't worth much, and the only vehicle that de fends on me for axle-grease is a sway-backed wheel barrow, but 1 am willing and anxious to go my part on good roads any day. ? J. I,.
