While national good roads booster e engaged in the beneficial and esenil work of advocating great national nk line coast-to-coast highways, it lould be remembered that the iprovemeht of better local maraei ads In the vicinity of Cheraw and her oommunities Is of first importice. Upon a solid network of firstass highways around us, depends the elfare, happiness, comforts and osperity of the people in both town id country. Such a system of loroughfares to better connect urban id country sections means a better >ore \ecomlcal and more profitable ude interchange bdtwfeen producer id consumer and between producer id consumer and between merchant id farmer, while the chief purpose ! coast-to-coast lines is pleasure and lenic. The main idea in constructing better Ighways must ever be the promotion ! business, farming, local commerce id marketing together with a better muection between the Jieoplel and ieir schools, churches and social (liters. In these days of high costs id good prices, better highways are ore important than ever before from te standpoint of trade and business. I these times of raising the standard f living, better highways take preceence over the coast-to-coast routes jcause they assure a better interlange of social relations between irms and between farms and towns, Tiering increased and increasingly ssential access to schools, free delivry, churches, libraries and 'other ecessittes of the modern social welire. Local market roads, be they main, (ter-county or county highways, serve II classes of people, rich and poor 1,1 ????*?? nn/1 f Atirn oIIIta ThAV HRe 111 UUU11UJ tt&iu ivnu hmuv. re bound to reduce high cost of living nd at the same time Increase the roflts of the farm by reducing cost of ansportation to town. Trunk highays are second In importance because >ng hauls are by trolley or steam nes except that for short distances etween towns they perform the same uty to business and social relations s do the local roads.
