Goods Roads FAV0H8 BOND ISSUE i Editor Anderson Intelligencer: Dour Sir:?The "controversy, which perhaps', is a term more suita ble now, in the Intelligencer's advo cacy of bond issue for roads than the gentle timidity of u word calle?dis cussion?this controversy is as much amusing as a moving picture show. It Is like discussion on the war, on re ligion or politics; the animation cov erp the hard fccllngB after all, and each is interested in' good naturedly S"c!ug how many timeH better than ir.lmBolf can the next opponent of his argument show out to the public. I There Is no animosity; wore each to travel the very widest from the breast center of hio own thoughts, the two brother men would at the opposite side from the starting place meet and'close a circuit. The union would be a hand shake. The roads, the people will have at the present time, a communi ty not warmed up by special conglom erations of fireside talks about ' it have caught cold from the breezy sub ject, but after the first sneeze, brains; and chests will be clear and good roads will roll along from man, wo man and child like an old time song or a good time religion. Now, were man not able to argue on profound questions he would be deficient in acumen, and were not a new problem before the public occas ionally?for what the use of school room and college debate? Men shar pen their wits in this manner. When it is all over again, they shake hands. Weak and brain-blinded Is the per son who does, not want good roads, good fields, good houses, good any thing! n 'body confesses he does not want C 3?d toad, except for argu ment; and th? argument is bo killing of time that modern and educated re spectability presses the man to drop .the argument'quickly and go to work with the will of the world. . Men of the present day are ao con stituted that they love a home better than te shack, they love a buggy or carriage for riding better than a mar ket wagon; it has been said men have mortgaged their property to porrrrr un automobile; boys have done with out Sunday suits to possess bicycles and motorclcycB. Men go halt a mile out of their way across fields to Bave 0 nice pair of polished shoes from the mud of a bad road. In fact, the world fhae gone so far forward that the past is an isolated subject, and if It is the> portion of a past subject that deals with alley-wide streets In town, or hub deep holes In the neighboring roads they disdain notice of it as they Would of a poor relation These few lines beginning the para graph are as parenthesis,, that: Two reasons 'for not having good roads WOuld carry" in some counties, but not in Anderson county?lack of education and-lack of refinement.- .This reproof in the mention at all is personally taken to herself by the writer and all Who agree with her that Anderson 'county needs no sycophantic boost ing; Too well known are. these facts that Anderson county 1b superior in wealth and so many ways that other counties are not even brought forward before her in comparison lest the insult sniff her out of the State. A new paragraph must bo begun at onco to say that Anderson people are for Anderson; all..of the people ail "dver'tho county?everywhere.

Abundant thanks are due to those who begin a good movement for tho pcoi le. and the popular support 'till the sun rcocs down, to the lengthening of the an'e dial?that th3 battle may be won and the work done. Bonds must be issued, say tboBe whose brain have counted tho thoughts, the cost, the worry, the prodigious labor, the i steps of down-cast faith, and too, triumph Joy "between present and fu ture. To build roads that will remain, calls for new processes as the build ing of frame supplants log cabins, and brick and stone structures replace frame; and future generations bo benefit by the staunch improvement, That could the present open its eyes in the future It would behold that fu ture arise and call the past blessed. Had the past of the present genera tion built good roads with the hun dreds of thousands of dollars frittered away on honest intention's, but un skilled labor, the present generation of the country would be hauling to market twelve bales of cotton with two mules, as they do up In Charlotte, N. C, on Macadam i roads, instead of the two bales to two mules these win ter days. A road is no better than the worst place in it, and farmers load their mules for those nlaces and not for the good places, which, were the road all the way good, would accommodate farmers and teamsters to twice and thrice the amount of weight the roads allow the,teams to pull now. But bonds cost money, say the con servative who want to see two dollars to one beforo the one is trusted even to providence; so do clothes. If a man has an $18.00 suit on his back,, that is what he Wants; he does not want a $9.00 suit or he would purchase such, and he does not want the $18.00 suit for $9.00, because he knows there would be something wrong with It. Such a suit would be dear to such a man at any price; so he is careful to buy what he wants and pays for it. A $0,000 piece of road say, to a man Iof representative principles la h's township is not what he wants when the road of durability which the whole community and county wants, and knows to be a highway of the $18, 000 type. He would-very emphatical ly say to the retailers of such pro position, take it away before you build lt. I want a road that stays put; I don't want to be hauling and dragging and plugging a poor uncon cerned one-horse affair that Is down at the hoof every time a rain comes. As he would;say to the tailor, I want my suit on my back as I place it, I don't want to have it pulled und lengthened and widened and worked over every time a rain falls oh It. So the bonded roads are even more eco nomical than any illustration that would be legally possible to produce. Say a moderately comfortable-'farm cr whose taxes amount to $30 to $35 each year under the bonded issue, would pay $2.50 to $3.00 additional for the new roads, maybe 25 to 30 cents a month in difference, and the road work is to bo begun at once all over the county, and progress In sec tions under every man's eyes, would the special man in illustration say at the end of even one year, "Here take your road away and give me mj( money?" He would"say, "I would not for any amount go back ta the roads we had. I find a year's pleasure In one month's travel, to Bay nothing of the gain. in the hauling use of the road. The way to prepare for "prosperity is to work up toward it. If times were hard, for instance, for many under the supposedly "war" grind, much ot the declaim is repetition from, the cry of one man to the cry of anober and in the reality it will be seen that under the most prosperous years past the some men and women who are very ambitious end im pa tien ^ for the white wings of success to come, al ways found the plentiful years just as hard to get.along with, and hard times about something always staring them, in the face; ..and, throughout the gen oral congr?gation or the whole people were progress to "ask them, "When are you ready .lor me to be gin?" They would answer, "Not now, lf> it costs' mo anything, times are too.hard." And,;tills would go'';on for ever and forever. Yet, people are sit uated generally alike and ore as the little fellow, who ' complained for lack of money; "You are woalthy, aon if you only knew It" said the father. But Jamie, the. little neighbor who had received $500.00 for a broken leg from the railroad was to b3 envied. - ''Say eon, now what would you take for onp of yonr eyesr* queried ' tho father-r-"A thousand dollars?" "0,,no; papa:" "Or-the other eye?" . "No, no, papa." "You have two hands, wouldn't you spare one of iht8e for s thousand?" 1 :-'O, noi papa, I couldn't:** VNor the other hand?

In holding back ^SwSta^??IBB?BBBH H Florence Webber, late star "Xnugui "Lady Luxury" ot the Anderson Theal Florence Webber, who has the title role In "Lady Luxury" at The Ander son, Friday night, March 12th, is prob ably the youngest in experience of any prima donna on ihe American stage. Miss Webber made her debut five years ago, the second season played a leading part, the third season was starred and i'u_.v_ heads what ?? parctl. cally an all star cast in "Lady Lux ury" her fifth season. Miss Webber was born at an early age in Indianapolis, in-fact, an early age characterizes most everything that she har lone. She went to school at an early age, and at the age ot fourteen ran away, from home, wear ing a long skirt to bide her youth, and Joined "The Prince of Pilsen" com pany. Her father heard of Ihis and had her sent home by the chief of police of tiie first town visited. This did not deter Miss Webber, however, and she settled down to hard study finally making her debut in a piece called "Marigold," which was a fail ure, closing after a few weeks. MIsb Webber, with all the enthus iasm of her seventeen years, came to New York "and interviewed a name -? y.-;-~~-; -? ? progress as the* drowning man holds down to death the living one?then indeed, indeed, such friends of pover ty are poor. At the present time one-half the road tax is good naturcdly wasted ; Instead of gaining compound, interest on their road tas, tu? willing people who pay it arc perpetuating compound loss! There is no retrieve, no calling ' back; it is gone down, down "to the tides of the sea w(th the bitter sands of life's dissatisfaction muddy, n g and clogging along with the sands of gul lies and ditches and . washes, while still at the head portal of Iobb h only the cry, more, more; more road tax to make more roads, to make more gullies, to make more washes, to nuke more cave-Ins, to make mere m: :d holes, to make more profanity j.nd hissings and lashings and wrifhiags of mah and beast. This is progress so-called at the present day; and the funnel of money goes Into hands to be paid oUL_eternally to a wheel that never moves forward an inch, to not a sinking fund, but a pit in the ground: that proves to be 'bottomless. Ibis Is a story of the tragedy that lies.behind tho scenes to those who do not care to-talk about lr\ But the fdturc"'looks Aright. I *j First there ire a great many fine stretches of road in tlie county?be tween the peculiarly bad places, and the stretches are fit for a king's high way and will heed nothing practically from- "the bond improvement?but again, to be explicit?these do. nbt count as a factor against bonds. The way in which a preceding plot for national, highway lost out was because despite the scenery and large utility of the road, the Now York and Atlan ta Pathfinders found so much stretch es of Band between this and. Colum bia that they discarded the route and chose the -present one?from Green ville through the. "cotton, patch" to Anderson. .So, in this way does An derson county , lose good'roads; the fine stretches do not prevent' tho roads from being condemned as good roads, and In the claim of bad roads call for bonds. 1.760,000'will-for instance; should the commissioners and engineers choose such a facility, build a stretch" of the finest Macadam road known to fHSB?e clear across tho county, cut r1"* wrouib^theTcourt houaa square, and another ?t right angles to it cut ling the nther ..way?north to south, and east to west, say 371-2 miles each way, auoh a constructed road, as oth er counties make them, costing $io, 000 a ; mile, -but those live to be as old as the old Roman 'roads that are good a? hew today, and posterity will mill?giy pay far them. Again there ?overnmontedly appointed roads that build for 85,000 a mile, all ac cording to the nature of the stretch of r old Vroad add how far material must be conveyed, and the nature and quality.of the material; so that in any case/ considering the saving, portions of the county, high roads kept vup well by their own nature, and the county commissioners year to year, to the best of their ability, in the old system, there wilt be in th? appropria-, tion of 1750,000, sufficient to hrfng An lorson county to a .high state of per y Marietta" who Hing? the title role id re, Friday n'ght, March 18. sake?.Joseph Webber, who" at that time was organizing extra companies for his 'tlimax," MIbb Webber bold ly claimed to have had years of ex perience, though she had never sang a principal role in her life, but Web ber believed her after he gave her a rehersal of the difficult role and plac ed her under two years contract. She was not old enough to make the contract binding, but she was perfect ly willing to play two years in "The Climax" for the experience. Arthur Hammerstein heard her in this, and made a contract to star her In "Naughty Marietto" for two years, and she divided the country with Trentinni, making equally as big a hit. When her contract with "Naughty Marietto" was up, Mrs. Rida Johnson Young wrote both "Naughty Marietto" and "Lady Luxury" wao so impressed in her personality that she offered her the title-role In the present piece. Needless to say the twenty-tw? year old prima donna has made good with a vengance", and her parents are proud of her and glad that they did not stiblo the genius in its bud._ mancnt?road ways, and all for about 2 miles levy" tax on the progressive taxpayer.
