While in Charlotte on Friday, it was our good fortune to meet our young friend, Mr. G. Eugene Reeder, son of Mr. George W. Reeder, of this county. Mr. Reeder now holds a lucrative position with the Good Roads Machinery Co., with headquarters at Knoxville, Tenn., being general agent. At the invitation of Mr. C. M. Scott, manager of the [Good Roads Machinery Co., at Charlotte, in company with Mr. Reeder and Mr. Joseph Klouse, we were treated to an automobile ride over the famous Mecklenburg roads for a distance of several miles in Mr. Klouse's handsome touring car. Mecklenberg has the distinction of having the finest roads in th? coun"' ? mnat. in. try. These are duiic on uuo iuvw proved methods, the different kinds of new machinery being used in the construction of these roads. Only one half of the roadbed is macademized, the other beihg a simple grade of olay. The shads are surveyed and graded, avoiding as many hills as possible, which has proven to be very economical. Meoklenberg county has spent large sums of money in the building of > her highways, bnt there is nothing which has had more to do with the upbuilding of the county than good I roads. It is the salvation of the farmer, and has had much to do with building up the rural districts, as well as the cities and towns. iOharlotte has grown more in the last few years since the roads have been built up leading into the city and; the rural districts. The roads around Charlotte are said to be the best in the entire country, and is certainly a credit not only to the connty, but to the country at large. We viewed the connty chaingang at work, using the machinery of the Good Roads Machinery Co., which is said to be the very best made. The large crushers and other machinery is certainly an improvement on the old plan of working the roads and we _ 1 . ? wvanla hope to see toe time wucu uw pcv|/10 can employ the same methods in building our highways. ' On this ride we had an opportunity ? to view the different crops, which, on an average, seem to be about the same as those in this State. , In this condition we wish to state that we met our friend, Mr. J. M. Horner, who was at one time connected with the Lexington Manufacturing Co., of this place. Mr. Horner now holds the position of superintendent of the dye house of the Highland Park Manufacturieg Co., one of the largest factories in Charlotte. This mill turns out a very high grade of beautiful dress goods, chambrays, ; cambrics, ginghams, etc. We were conducted through the plant and was j wonderfully surprised at the immense | output of the enterprise. TJii9 company has branch mills at Rock Hill, Huntersville, Concord and other places. Mill No. 3, at Charlotte, is the largest cotton mill in t he state, employing seyeral hundred bands, ana turning out the very highest grade of cloth. To Mr. Horner we are indebted for -a delightful car ride around the city, taking in all the principal points of interest, and viewing many of the large manufactories and beautiful buildings, parks and residences of the city. To meet such people is always a privilege and pleasure and we hope to again mingle with the good people of Charlotte, when we will have more time to take in the sights, and further view the wonderful progress of that city. The Columbia State has succeeded in raising the$ll,000 for the monument fund, and more, too. The subscriptions keep rolling in, and it is likely that the amount will reach nearly $12,000. When it comes to raising funds for worthy causes The State has no equal sn this country. All praise to The State and to those wlie have contributed to this most worth}* cause! Lexington county has made considerable progress along the line of buildiner roads during the last couple years and it is to be hoped that the people will take enough interest in the matter to keep them up once they have been put in proper condition by the county authorities. Let the overseers make a strong effort in this direction and results are bound to follow. There are at present about 10 hands on the gang, which is located in Swansea section, where they are doing some fine work, it is said. Our Assistant, Mr. D. R. Haiti- j wanger. with his family i* confined to I his home on account of the illness cf I his wife. Mr. Haltiwanger is very unfortunate. It has been only a short while ago when typhoid fever enterted his home and now again come9 his unfortunate sickness. It is hoped that he may soon take his place at the desk where his work is invaluable to us. With thirty-9ix out of the forty-two counties in South Carolina "dry" it seems to us that there is but one thing for the next legislature to do, so far as the liquor traffic is concerned, and that is to pass a state-wide prohibition bill. In doing this we believe that the legislature would not only be doing what is right and proper, but it would be giving the majorit}' of the people what they want. In passing such a bill it would'be well to make it so strangent that it would do away with the various clubs in those cities and towns which now have them. Then it would he "up to" the people to s6e that the law is enforced. BEAD! BEAD! BEAD! 355 acres of good farm land in high ! state of cultivation. About 100 acres | cleared.
