What a man does in this world toward
the advancement of the race in
general, and his own individual advancement,
depends, of course, upon
the amount of ability that he has, and
the energy with winch he can apply
that ability to the work he undertakes.
We are often mistaken when we
measure the ability of men by the re
suits achieved by them. One man
will forge ahead and we say that he
has the greater ability, when in reality,
he had no more ability than the
r?ther man who made a failure, but he
only happened to have the energy and
determination to apply what ability
he had to the accomplishment of his
task.
n Wfc have often said that there are
men working in ditches, and also in
the lumber woods capable of having
made the smartest professional men.
They lacked the determination and
will of other men, who are perhaps
well endowed with gray matter to set
themselves to the task that would
bring them to the attention of the
race. Just as a gold mine'may lie
hidden beneath the rocks for ages,
- while an iron mine in the same section
is being- worked all that time,
just so there are some of the brightest
minds of all time lying dormant
in the skulls of those who might have
used them to the everlasting good of
humanity if they had not been too
lazy.
There are all sorts of degrees in
this matter of .applying the mind to
the betterment of one's self and the
service to the world, either in the
present time, or as related to future
generations who come after and en.ioy
the work of their forefathers. Some
men have the habit of talking about
what they intend to do. In their
minds they are always on the brink of
carrying out some great plan that
will have big results. But these are
the men who have no energy, at least
not enough to carry them through the
actual hard work that it takes to
frring them to success, many of them
never even begin the task. They never
beein anv of the numerous great
things that they talk about from
morning until night every day of
their lives.
On the other hand there are the
men who never talk about what they
aim to do. They do not have to talk
in order for other people to know
what they aim at. The whole world
knows them by the results that they
produce.
There are too many who are .almost
persuaded that they will do and accomplish,
but they never get quite
ready to go ahead with what they
would like very much to accomplish.
A task never begun is never finished.

BIG ROAD-BUILDING PROGRAM
AHEAD.
Fifteen to twenty years of building
good roads lie ahead of the United
States. Under the program which
iie country has adopted there will be
built, during that time, 180,000 miles
of improved highways which will constitute
the Federal-aid highway system
and an equal or greater mileage
of State and local roads. When the
great job is done, the transportation'
racilities of the country will far exceed
those of any other nation, past
or present, in the world. The highways
of the ancient Romans, whose
fame has come down through the
centuries, will pale by comparison.
Details of this vast road-building
program are to be placed before the
Highway Education Board at its conference
in Washington October 2(> to
28, inclusive, by State Highway Engineers
and officials of the Bureau of
Public Roads, United States Department
of Agriculture, to whom has
i ?a i _ i ii. _ i_ ^ r i
jft'n eiurusiea cue whir ui ;u.iiimiin

l';*\ieral Aid Hghwa' * . The ulnn will
he presented to enable the Hoard to
proceed authoritatively with its work
of devising- aids for schools and colleges
to which road-builder-; of the
country are turning lor competent
highway engineers.
Officials of the bureau place the
aggregate cost of the Federal-aid
program alone at about $3,000,000,000,
spread over the twentv-year period.
They base this estimate on an average
cost of $17,000 per mile. The average
cost, in turn, takis into cousideration
all classes of improved roadways frcm
the cheapest to the most expensive
types. Approximately one-third 'f
the proposed system, or ''>0,000 miles
of improved highways, already are
either built or building.
The program is a new one. Up to
comparatively recent years, load
building in the United States had
been conducted without special regard
to a national system. Highways
had been constructed where
needed without considering whether
they would link up in the most effective
manner with the whole network
of roads to be spread over the
Nation. Engineers had sought more
to meet immediate and local demands
than the broader requirements of the
States and nation.
The present Federal-aid road-buiding
program, officials of the bureau
state, will contemplate the construction
of only such roads as fit into the
national program and contribute to
the national system. At the same
time the roads will be so selected as
to serve the most important local requirements.
With marked modifications,
the system adopted in building
the railways of the country will be
borne in mind in the construction of
the country's new highways. There
will be main lines of highway communication
between ccnters and thousands
of miles of feeder roads, reaching
back into the more sparsely
settled regions and into the rich agricultural
sections, to tap areas whose
oopulation and products will flow ovei
the new system.
New roads will be planned and 1 uilt
?thousands of miles of them?where
they will fit in most advr.ntapreoush
with the entire program. The bureai
is continuing its research work int(
most efficient methods of road-build'
ing, including the character am

WASHINGTON COMMENT.
"If the great daily papers of th
! United States are not controlled b
; n power behind, which uses their in
fluence for private and personal rath
er than for public and economic pui
i poses, why is it that none of ther
r carry criticisms against the honest
of the press when such are uttere
by people whose experience and sen
i ices to the country entitle them to b
j heard?"
The question is often heard in Cor
gress. Senator Heflin, of Alaba s;
said in a speech in the Senate .*<
t cently:
"I am not afraid of the press,
am the firm friend of the hone?
_ Tt V*/-\ I- T J -

t some of them have of stressing. th
1 news of events of importance thi
take place right here in this Chambe
around this Capitol, that the peopl
* of the country are entitled to kno(
> about. Why is it that you never s?
- a line about a lot of important mat
- ters discussed in this Chamber?"This
speech was reported in fe
if any of the great netropolita
- dailies, nor was the interlopation nine

TVS HMLRY HERALD, CONW
Watson said, in part:
"The time is coining when the press
will have to be free if it wants to exist
This country can not live and
tolerate a press which it knows is a
hireling press. It will not pay for
such papers. It will not advertise
in such papers. People will not buy
from those who advertise in such
papers, and the worst of the fight is
past.
"When the espionage law W3S passed
and so many hundreds of newspapers
were crushed by arbitrary
orders of the Post Office Department,
freedom of press was more in
danger than it ever had been since
our government was established or
since Charles Fox, Lord Grey, and
John Wikes had made their noble
fight in England for the freedom of
the press, and Thomas Erskine had
made his glorious fight for trial by
jury instead of arbitrary directions of
verdicts by judges. That time is cominn*

arraying themselves? against each
other again. That battle is irrestible.
Nothing on earth can stop it and
nothing on earth can silence the people.
They are going to be heard, or
we will have a revolution in this
country."
The foundation stone on which
America is built is liberty. Liberty
of speech, liberty of thought, liberty
of political action, liberty of conduct
within the laws of the land, liberty to
worship God, liberty from tyranny,
oppression, slavery; liberty of opinion.
Take away liberty and there is no
United Suites.
A "controlled" press is a blow at
liberty. A great newspaper is a public
institution. Its owners, publishers,
and editors have the American right
of liberty to their opinions, personal
and political; they have no moral
right to attempt to color the thoughs
of their readers by supression or alteration
of the truth. A newspaper
which suppresses truth, or one which
changes truth to lies for its own purposes
is no newspaper, it is merely
then a mouth-piece.
Great newspapers are expensive,
they require vast capital to conduct,
As such they can be controlled if
there is interest enough behind them
to buy them. But there is not money
enough in America to buy and control
all the papers of the United
States. The country press, the smaller
papers, the weeklies, the countyseat
papers, are too numerous and
red-blooded with patriotic American
owners and editors to be bought.
Against the evils of a controlled
press the American people must fight,
and fight hard; the penalty of losing
the battle is to see this country a
democracy only in name, an obligarchv
in fact. In that battle the field artillery
and skirmish line, the trench
diggers and the advance guard is the
country press. f
The flame of truth is white not and
a. :l
I illtl 1 to evil.
Lucky the people who read the
journal of a man unafraid of its heat;
fortunate the editor who can look his
readers in the face and say "I keep
the holy fire."?Contributed.

MAKES ESCAPE
John Floyd, the negro who shot at
his wife, and tried to hit also, his
father-in-law, Nell Davis, all colored,
it appears has made good his escape.
For a time he lay off in the wilds
of Crab Tree. He was supposed to
have come out in the night several
times after food and water, seeing
his brother, who he had also threatened,
and making his brother bring
a message to the officers.
Since that time nothing has been
, seen or heard of this desperate negro.
It is now believed that he made good
, his escape and is hid away in some
. distant place. He is believed by his
relatives to be crazy.

COTTON MARKET 1
MADE ADVANCEI
% '
Weekly Cotton Letter by Savannah ^
Cotton Factorage Co. (All inquiries
promptly answered.) '
All cotton markets have been ad* C1
vancing this week clue to settlement s
of the Turkish <|uestion, lighter offerings
.in most sections of the belt, d<
private reports of a smaller yield g
than the trade expected, and a good a
demand from southern mills. Sales
in foreign markets have also increas- (1
od. This should be followed bv a bet- c
ter demand from abroad. a
The Consumption Report for September
w,as published today showing c
495,344 bales, against 484,718 bales K
last year. The total consumption of
cotton during August and September si
amounted to 1,022,748 bales, against S
951.777 bales last year.
Exports to date .are slightly less
than those of 1921. This is due to unsettled
conditions in foreign coun- is
tries. As stated above, sales of cotton
in foreign markets are increasing,
and exports from the Gulf ports have
been much larger this month than
last.
Most of the crop has been picked,
offerings are lighter, the demand
good, and unless something unforseen
occurs, the market should continue to
work higher.
