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.

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

should have its inning. Better

that will remain as good roads are
vexatious problems. Their solution
has probably occupied more space

arised in every corner to proclaim
their fitness to lead suffering

GOOD ADVICE.
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

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.
