'rof Holmes' Valuable Addrevs r<
to Legislators. itl
al
1'rof ,1 A Holmes, of the Uni- j'r
orsity of North Carolina, h<1 h
retted the South Carolina Legis- I
iture in Columbia laht Friday I P
ight on the subjectof good roads. ! "
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

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()
