* FARMERS AND AUTOMOBILES. * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * Charlotte Observer. "Long years ago," reminisces the Whiteville News-Reporter, "when it was proposed to do some needed work *n a road in a certain township in Columbus county strong opposimion was raised. It was claimed that only a few rich men and the preacher had buggies and they wanted to make poor folks work roads for them to drive over. Today the children .ind g(randchildDen of those kickers -all own top-buggies. History is now re peating itself in the opposition to mo tor cars. To propose to build a great highway through our county over which automobiles may travel is like waving a red rag before a mad bull. You are met with the same old argu ments which were advanced against working a road over which buggies distances will be brought into use. Another factor will aid the tend ency in this dierction. When the bicycle craze was at its height an * enormous amount of capital was at tracted to investments in the manu facture. When the craze waned, des perate efforts were made to increase the field of demand, with but very partial success. Similarly the popu larity of the automobile ' has caused * factories turning out excellent ma chines to spring up here, there and everywhere and the 'aggregate of the output is so large that the demand occasioned by those purchasing for luxury 'will not by any ,means con sume it. A demand based on utility must be created or many of the fac tories will go to the wall. One of the most inviting fields in which such a demand could be produced is among the farmers, and this the manufactur ers are realizing. The next few years will witness an advertising camn paign which will extend in every di rection,. linted only by the existence of practica.ble roads. We do not think * ~ that the News-Renorter exaggerates unduly in predicting~ that the. ma chine's will be as common in some rural districts ten years hence as bug rgies are today.
