Our Public Highways. i The best evidence of a high type of educated and refined civilization is the building and maintenance of firstclass public roadways. This is more fully evidenced by the incessant and continuous demand of the whole American nation for improvement in j our public roadways. County, State and national laws are being invoked on this important question, and in * many sections magnificent roadways have either been projected or are under construction. Good roads mean better schools, more churches - and an increased social relationship in the various rhrai neighborhoods. From an economic standpoint, the value of firstclass public highways can hardly be estimated. The annual loss by farmers in the continual wear had befit on horse-power, breakage of vehicles and loss of time in traveling on bad roads amounts in the aggregate to a fabulous sum each year. With the exception of taxation for educational purposes there is no cause in the interest of-our rural population to which the taxes of the people eould be directed to greater benefit than the equipment and maintenance of first-class public roadways. The Federal Government eould expend a part of the pubtfc funds' to better advantage than granting .large animal appropriations to be distributed among the various States to aid in public road improvement. have never been able, to _x.

If this amount was prorata toong the different States on && basis of public road mileage, Mftb population, and each State then raise a special j revenue to the appropriation qf the Government, we woujd soon be able to make rapid headway !

With the general introduction of fine macadam roadways, farmers could introduce the use of motor vehicles and reduce the cost of marketing their products i to a minimum. We have taken the position before, "and adhere to it now, that the best returns on money invented by the State or nation is appropriations made in the interest of farmers and the development of our vast agricultural resources. There should be a good roads club in every community and county to-co-operate with State and national organizations. A steady hetive campaign should be taken in the interest of this work all over the country, and especially in the South. Let us have good roads first, last and the time.?The Cotton Journal. wrr.k.i^ The Lsesviile Graded School, To the Editor of The Dispatch: The first session of the Leesville Graded School, under the management of Prof. E.
