We believe it would be a good idea for the county Board of Educa tion to pan a resolution refusing to approve the claims of any teacher who fails to attend the meetings of the county teachers association. There is too little professional pride among the teachers in the county and;too much/‘teaching for the money.” there is in it. I i We think the idea of Geo. W. Reardon to sell the State farm and let the convicts work the roads, a good one. His idea is to use the proceeds of the State farm and the eight hundred convicts to build' two macadam roads, one to start in the southern part of the State and run to the Northern line, and one from the Eastern part to run to the West ern. This Is a splendid idea and we should like to see it done. Letaome legklator immortalize himself him self by securing the passage of such an act to report progress. This being the season when the subject of taxes is up for discussson, it is meet and be coming that the old familiar ques tion of how to reduce the mud tax should have its inning. Better roads and how to get better roads most economically and of a character that will remain as good roads are vexatious problems. Their solution has probably occupied more space in the newspapers and has been pondered more studiously than that of any of the other questions of moment arising in this country, politics not excepted, prophets have arised in every corner to proclaim their fitness to lead suffering humanity out of the mud.

Aa soon as the season opens up, do not go out and commence to burn off the vegetable matter on your fields. Our toll needs humus, and it is a great mistake to burn grass, com stalks or cotton stalks. If you are a- Ua, buy a stalk cutter and cut them up, so they will not be in the way of the plow or the growing crop. If you do not feel able to purchase a stalk cutter, take hoes or sticks and break the stalks to pieces. Many farmers think, when they go out some windy day in the spring add set fire to all the stubble and stalka on their tana, that they are AAiy gnmnihlng—and in fact they are, burninf up money —for any ton of stubble la worth $5 to the soil as manure, while the seh from this stubble would not weigh over 80 pounds and not be worth exceeding fifty cents.—Southern Cultivator GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION We have been informed that a meeting was to be held yesterday at Meggett to organize a Township Good Hoads Association for the pur- pone of improving the roads in Adams Run and Collins towrships. The plan to be proposed is to enroll every citizen who will join, to charge an initiation fee, to tax all horses and mules, and to expend funds so raised on the public roads estimate. And, yet, we have all sorts of as sociations having for their object the correction of this evil and the sav ing to us of our money. To look at our roads one would not think it. And what is the trouble? Our people are surely interested. They pay their road taxes. They want To aoma it would seem that one fault Uea in tha fact that we are pursuing systems and methods of a hundred yean past Thbre are thaaa who declare that present day procedure Is exactljvthe same as that followed half a century ago whan help was plentiful and it was an easy matter to send hands out to work upsn the roads or more mules to draw the loads when stalled. There may be something in this, and it might be well to revise the whole system of road work- The suggertion has been made that in stead of the presnet system politics, or the opportunities for injecting politics into county road supervision, there should be apian similar to that which the cities have been forced to follow. In short,- the suggestion carries the employment of a country road engineer into whose charge would be given every piece of ma chinery, every wagon, scraper, ani mal and ocher appurtenance. This oiiiciai would be bonded. It would then bo made law that no road should be aorked until* his estimate on its cost had been obtained and that the work should not be d ne unless ho could give it his personal attention. s ou Id be ■ constructed ilMB, asst ntur pubUcaiion hereof; at U o’ctucs iu we torenwon, to snow cauw if *uy m«y neve, wnv tne •eki AdasaM- irauuii ■uoQiu not be fronted.^ t>iv?u auder iny hand, thie 8th day oi Feo nary, A.
