The close and direct relation between road improvement and farm values is clearly shown by information given out by the department ol. agriculture, whioh is referred to in The Herald's correspondence from Washington, and should be of special interest in spartanourg coumj, i where the problem of road improvement has not yet been satisfactorily settled. Instances are given by'the ft 1., department of quick improvement in land values along the line of improved roads, in some of which the very undertaking that enhanced the values j of the lands -was strongely opposed by j the owners of the lands. One Vir-1 j?inia farmer, -who opposed road improvement by special tax levy along! his $1,800 farm, was shortly after the .?/vTTAY?ant Tiroo marto /-iffarar? ?.2 000 I 1111JJ1 KJ ? CUiCXl O n u?j muuv T ~ ~ . for the same farm?a clear increase of 60 2-3 per cent. The amount of the tax levy is not given, but it prob-; ably was not more than one per cent,! so that the enormous benefit to this I particular farmer is apparent. But another thing is to be noted | in this connection. The farmer, before rhe road was bettered, tried to sell his farm for $1,800, but could not. After the road was built someone else tried to buy his farm for $3,000, but could not. It is plain, j therefore, that the difference betwen ' 1 ' - " ** -T I i'H6 quoiea ngures on tue icum uuw not represent the farmer's total gain, for he sought to sell in one case and refused to sell in the other. In other words, the improved condition of the road, besides increasing the value of his land, served to dissuade him from selling his farm and, in all probability, moving to .the cfty. The improved road, aside from giving the farm a muoh higher market value, gives it a very much greater home value, -and serves to make farm life more attractive and the farmer more prosi perous and contented. Therein, peril haps, is cne of the highest forms of / Talue created by the construction of i better highways.?Spartanburg Her;! aid. What is true of Spartanburg and Virginia farm lands would prove true of Newberry county farms. But we need better highways, not so much for the increased value which would come to farms located along them, as ^ for the labor and money saving value they would he to the people who now j own the. farms and live along the roads, and for the pleasure and comfort they, would afford all the people. Gov. Blease stated positively in a . speech at Greenwood on Saturday that ^ all reports that he was favoring any' candidate f-or governor were without I foundation. ? - ? ' Some qt tne newspapers ana oiners | who desire to injure Gov. Blease are! trying to create the impression thatJ the accidental meeting of Governor I ^Blease and Mr. Jno. L. McLaurin at' Hendersonville the other day was a j preconceived plot to form a combination of some kind. Gov. Blease's visit to Hendersonville was altogether a different matter and had nothing to do with Mr. McLaurin. .This is a fine time to use the split ivg ulag. v W. C. T. U. Convention.

The Post nnnnseri thp flnnnintmen". nf Brvail as "rr ?rr * secretary of state, and that paper daily has something against Bryan in a vain effort to educate thepublic to the Post's opinion that the Post was .right in its opposition. IJryan' is smart enough to lecture and attend to j the busness of his office. Perhaps the j editor of the Post couldn't do as j much, but thatlS* no reason why Bry an cannot. Bryan is an extraordinarily smart man, an exceptionally able man. There is no man in the entire world that can equal him. He is handling the weighty public questions with satisfacton to the country and with an ease such as only he can command. The country is sofe under Bryan. Give us a rest. Some Sense.
