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.

in road improvement. 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

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The first session of the Leesville
Graded School, under the management
of Prof. E. R. Ayeock, closed
to-day.* Its closing was devoid of all
parade or show. The N. G.^Gonsales
society held an open meeting as the
finishing touch of the years' work.
The future of-this school is full of
promise, Its friends are steadfast

Igftftftftce is one of oq? greatest en*
and our government has made
ftft mistake in nmvidin<r fr?r t.ha ftftm

The trustees of the Leetville graded
school have a fine opportunity of
leading ap and ont into a wide field
of usefulness. Their environments
are peculiarly adopted to bring ont
the best that is in them. Just as a
good teacher brings out the best that
is in his or her pupils, bo the good
trustee bring* out the feOfct there ft in
ill's 'environments. Some very deefcrhfeie
additions are t6 be
made next session* atnOhg Wl&elSt music
