MEANING OF GOOD ROADS
" " ' ?*-- a?:? ur..., A
He llt'IlTH IU me ;\p]Milll T? uin
Which the Proud Armies of AN
Kurope Have Marched.?Will Increase
the Value of Farm Property.
Dear Herald: Having closely
watched the conditions in my olci
mother Sta e, 1 was very much interested
in the nomination of Mr
Featherstone for Governor, and in
the success of Mr. Spivey's bond
issue for^ood roads in Horry county
But as the question is now settle
- 1 A
ed F >r tho present in regaras 10
both propositions, I ask tno privilege
of submitiiog a few remarks on
the subject of good rouds which will
not only be true from a point ol
present necessity but verified by
history. In has been slid that good
roads are the physical symbol which
measures the progress of any age.
the off spring of eivilizition,and the
chief factors for its advancement.
As a people, we are largely known
by our public roads, because good
roads and and eiviliz ttion go hand
in hand. The nations which have
been the strongest world oeaters
have been road builders, and though
some of the nations themselves have
fallen, their history iu a few instan
ees is proved upon their roads which
have withstood tho traffic and ravages
of time for ages past. The
Babylonians. Egyptians, Carth'agenians
and Romans were all gerat
road buiders.
The road leading from Babylon to
Momni.itt iiaucd awav back in
the gray dawn of the historic morning,
and along it arose as if by ma#
ic the great cities of Nineveh, I)emascus
and Antioch The G recians
and Romans were scientific road
builders and some of. them?we are
told?are still in use. The Appian
Way, was built more than 2000
years ago and is still in use. Over
it have inarched the proud armies of
all Europe, and it was over this
same road that Paul, the great
Apostle to the Gentiles, tramped his
weary way to Rome where he delivered
in the presence of Caesar
that masterful address, Acts, 28: 13.
23. Europe knows what good roads
mean and we are told that on every
hand the eye is met with the splendid
sight of well built roads, laid out
with graceful curves, easy grades,
and lined with fruit and shade trees
gardens and well kept farm houses.
Tae world has never a more tremendous
syston of roads than are
found in the United States of Ainer
ica, We have more than two million
miles of public roads of which
amount, there are about forty thous-;
and miles of stone surfaced roads
and about one hundred and eight
thousand miljs of gravel roads to
our credit.
.In a gre it, m my respects we are
-win the lead among the nations of
/the world, but our roads are woefully
neglect'd. 11 >wover we are
glad that the sentiment for better
ro ids is growing. Too county in
which T live(Robeson) can not boast
of goo 1 roads, though they are
much bitter thin some of her sister
counties have.
Three bales of cotton make a
heavy load for two mules over the
sand hills and through the swamps as
some of the roads are, while in
Macklenburg, New Hanover et al, a
farmer can put ten or twelve bales
of cotton on his wagon and two
A mules will walk rignt on to market
vwith it The seeret of this is their
g >nd roads.
Let us have good roads and our
stock will be better, our farmer
more valuable and our schools improved.
Dot us not quit talking
about good roads because the elec
tion is over for thj day will dawn
for us yet. J. M. Fleming,

Miss Nance's Educational Campaign
Recalled.
Miss Jossio Dusenburv, one of our
nost popular young ladies, treated
i few of her close friends to an ice
cream one evening1 last week.
Mr A II Long, who holds a very
ucrative position with a large lum>er
company at Ashepole, N C., was
iere this week.
Now that the election is over we
rust that Senator Spiv?y and Mr J

die continued progress and develop

future use a little common sense and
<joL allow their prejudices to overcome

to iho work of Miss Lottie Harrelson

The visit of Miss Rudd has recalled
to memory the educational

Gone Hut Not Forgotten.
On July 20*b, 1010, the death
mgel visited the home of Mr. W,
B. Norths and took him to the
btaul.ful home where there is no
aid parting and no farewell tears
are shed, lie was sick but a short
while and all that loving hands and
skilled physicians could do was
1 me to arrest the fatal illness and
urn the ebbing tide of life, but in
obodieuce to the divine will, death
claimed the victory and the grave
received its occupant. The remains
were laid to rest the following day
it the family grave yard. lie was
t good man and loved by all who
knew him, we feel sure that he is at
rest and know that he is through
with the trials and troubles of !,his
sinful world.
lie h.?s suffered his last pain and
is nnw sweetlv restincr in the arms
of Jesus. He leaves a loving wife,
ten children, ninety one grandchildren
and a host of other relatives and
friends to mourn their loss who
mourn not as those who have
no hope, for we feel sure that
we will meet him again if we live
such a life as ho did. He was a
good and loviug husband, a kind
father andga good neighbor.
May glorious sunbeams always
kiss the soil that covers his best
resting place and through the en circling
gloom of night may bright
stars shine keeping their vigils
above his grave.
His bright smiles and cheerful
greetings will be greatly missed by
those who know and loved him. Oh!
It seems hard to give him up but
wo know wo must part with him for
a while,but we hope to meet him
again whore parting is no more.
