might be well for them to travel
over our roads a little before
they start to Coluinbiu, and if
they do, I wouldn't be surprised
if they should break I he record
trying to amend our present road
laws. Friend Slagle says the
road in front, of the Capt. Steele
old home place, near Steele llill,
is so bad that tie can hear the
travelers down there whooping
and yelling, but lie doesn't know
What they are doing below.
Now friends, our representatives,
you may find that a localoption
law would be (he best
plan upon which to build good
roads. I think taxation is the
only solution to the question in
Lancaster county. The greater
part of the soil in this county is
red and hilly, like in Mecklenburg
county, N. C. Our people
are industrious and intelligent
and have always'proved true and
loyal to each other and to their
country, but they have been dormant
along the lines of this road
question. The Mecklenburg and
Union county people awoke and
saw their need, went to work
are building their roads. Our
people have been content with
mud holes, gullies and rocks in
the roads.. Yes, we have thousands
of cart loads of rocks, but
we are not ready to place them
where they belong.
A tew years ago Lancaster
town was a little old, muddy,
dilapidated place. But one
bright morning, a bright, intel
ligent fellow by the name of Col
Leroy Springs waked up and ,
got a hustle on himself and went
to work, others falling in line,
and on went the march, and today
Lancaster has concrete side- ,

^ith many uew and valnaKlol^
buildings that would be a credit 8
to any city. Now the question ?
is, who will lake the lead in fix- >
ing and planning to raise money 5
to build the good roade? And when ?
this is done, I think tho work [f
should commence at I he court >
house, building the most travel 7
ed first and particularly towards ^
other towns. Would li <e to see

above Pleasant Valley near 1
Clems Branch. One of my iriends ;V
near Pleasant Vallev said lo me N
the other day : "1 paid 8 doilaiB r
an acre for this land 5 years ago. \
Now I am refusing 25 duila s \
per acre, and don't want'to sell it ^
at any piice". What would he,?
say if the other end of the road i ^
was macadamized? I wish to live v
to see good roads all over the }
country, and especially from one ;>
town to another. Land is never 2
sold in any community along macadamized
roads. fJ
