" fe cull the following from a h rnopsis of his talk published in w he State: He laid down the f? reposition that those people who ? ave not good roads are paying a tl mud, sand and hill tax," and ir ?r this they get no benefit. No ti reature in the ani nal kingdom j it i benefited by bad roads, not I on tadpoles, f?r they die in dry readier. From letters written to j <-'i O.ooo farmeis, he had been able i hi > estimate that the "mud tax" * as cost North Carolina $10,000,- Ii 00 yearly, and the cost in South, o Carolina is half as great. Withjtl is Mereoptieon he showed how ir p ther sections of tliia country hills It rere graded, and the roads made , o month and firm. In California convict labor is sen to prepare the macadam at u oht of about 25 cents a day, j Ii gainst 75 cent- in North Caroli* a for free labor. He suggested hat a State rock ciushing plant) ouId bo established at or in conledion with the South C? rolina ti icnitcntia"v and by convict labor h he cost reduced to a minimum jc The (>(llinlif>H OiioM Iirpun itl, I - " "" I tie railroads for nominal rate of t< ransportution. The poorer eoun-jd iss miirht aay that it was very veil for Greenville, Spartanburg, u Kndsruxii, etc., to undertake this t vork, hut th?\ themselves could v lot. I'rof Holmes said there wa? f li much common sense in that | u 1 itenicnt as there would he in the , >lni? t of a country merchant that h le could not keep his store open r lecause he was riot aide to do as ( nuch business as a wrhoUa'.e store , t n ('oluuihia r He advised moderation and i <' 'omnion sen>e in the undertaking. Some sections do uot nets! us ? nnch expense as others. He then ^ iomplimented the roads of Kich-jd and county leading out of Coluin- , 1 >ia. Th? coun*y supervisor had I icconipliahed, ao easilv tliat he c lardiy realized the value of his aork, the building of roads that | ire a? ea-ilv traveled as those cele- t irated roads i f Mecklenburg jountv, North Carolina, and at a t ;ost of $1.00 per mile, while the t ftticr had expended $3.OoO a mile. ^ He urjje.l th* le<_'iJnture to advise t heir people to experiment with ' iand and clay, mixed to the prop-1 ?r constituency. Ho could givej4 to formula as to the composition, t is clay dilfciH in the several 8ec 1 ions of the State. But ordinarily < i km i ill road for a ha sis, wPh a 1 mrface of four inches of clay, is he proper constituency. r In the laying of aiacadam he * irged system. The substrata of ' arf;or rock should he carefully I >ackcd, and it is economy to have 1 leavy rollers. Rach upper stra | lira should he packed on caroully. j; Throughout hi* talk he showed ; ho exasperating difficulties and ictual extravagance of had roads, j ' ind by comparison argued that ' he peri>etual tax for had roada ( vould he far greater than a tax 1 'or perpetual good roads. ' Several good arguments for 1 vide^tire wagons were advanced 1 throughout tke address. It may % ?! that an individual in a cum (iKK mnity has i hard time with a road tiro vehicle when the nar | >w tiros cut the road and make Spurn broad tire appear an unnatur i pd I disadvantage. In 15 countiesi -i i North Carolina they have the road-tiro wa^on law and propose j Ne > have it in the others when the epoch roposed constitutional amend-11 ted lent is adopted. It had struck showi im forcibly that the narrow tire in tlx ould always follow the hard Mir- Britii ice packed by the broad tiro. Ho Boon lowed that under equal condit ions annili ) narrow tire cut nine inches also I do the ground while the broad mute re sunk but two inches and found estim self a surface. j throu He illustrated with attractive terrd iews the difference in carrying to mi opacity of a wapin ten times blond idan on hard roads and one with wars flimsy load on soft, sticky rouds. jj() le claimed that one of the items |(> n f mud tax was accounted for in ^jj,,u1 ie fact that jxrain could be ship- ; here ed hero from the Missisappi val- Hrjti, jy as cheaply as it could he hauled nfjPr ver had country roads to market, that t I ? ; war I SIMON KOI* A BOER TRA1V J i? no the It Iritish Lured There, Slaughtered dis^i and Repulsed ?
