The Good Roads Meeting.
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

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.
