The road convention, which assembled in the court house last Saturday morning, September 19th, was composed of representative citizens who exhibit an interest in the question of good roads that was commendable. They Beemed to have come here with a determination to thoroughly and exhaustively discuss tbe road situation as it affects this county and by a concerted action to have some economical, but praotical and uniform system for working the public highways of the county adopted. Tbe meeting was not asx largely attended as we had hoped it would be, but what it lacked in numbers it more than made up in earnestness and enthusiasm, and while the result was not as decisive and emphatic as we would like it to have been, yet upon the whole, it set tbe ball in motion that will ultimately accomplish the desired end, and we take the discussion as an unerring augury of better roads. Oar advice is to let not the agitation lag bat talk good roads from now on until they are an assured fact. The action of the convention has carried the question of good roads into politics and has made it the leading issue in the coming primary to be held next year. While this is proper to a certain extent, but then the primary is a long W8y off and the present necessity for good roads is crowding upon us with its responsibilities and demands immediate action. Why can't the people of the vatious neighborhoods do what has been done in some of the other counties of the State. Obligate themselves to supplement the commutation tax and the work performed by the road hands on the public roads of their vicinity by both cash ? J 1 J a .i l ana wort ana me use 01 meir ieaui8. Tbis system would undoubtedly give us relief from the evils under which we are now suffering and by it the roads could be put in excellent condition at a comparatively small expense.
