Less than ten years ago this great move, contemporaneous with the equally great question of forestry, dawned upon this nation in its proper light, and today there are in the United States proper many thousand miles ot Telford and Macadam roads equal to any of the best in France,* and it is to this end that we learn the force ol the truth uthe history of roads is the history ot civilization.*' Congress has been so thoughtful as to have established und-r the Department of Agriculture at Washington a special ollice (Office of Public Kuad Inquiry) for the (lis semi nation of information concerning; good roads and their construction, This office is maintained si an annual cost of about 115000 and is composed of six officers and an indefinite number of assistants and aids with director Martin Dodge at its head. These lacts are already too well known to need any further mention; hut verilr it is as great a fact that the time is coming and now is when even the remotest parts of-AngloSaxon civilization must throw oil* the slumbers ot ages such as have illi-imclmnr Anu nt' I lio I UCin'lVII '?

Among the getting* of this farm, it has got a replete portion of the good roads of that progressive 6tafe. The office of road inquiry at Washington has even gone so far as to send out men who will give practical instruction in road building to any group sufficient l> interested as well as to conduct the building ot roads in person. Such a work is too patriotic as well at too philanthropic to be treated as the people of South Carolina hive done. Now that the matter has been mentioned through the columns of Thb Krcord and as its worthy editor promises an editorial at an early date upon this subject it is presumed that there has arisen gome enthusiasm and maybe, a spark of enterprise, which I hope will grow to a great flame,?I trust there will be some results towards the proper ends. There is no use to run to the tax book 01 I any other hook to pee whether the work can he done, tor I. as well as many others, know that it has been done many times over and is bein*r done everywhere every day under far more unfavorable conditions; and we a'so know that from the law that what has been j done can be done .gain if thef people only bend the proper knee J at tlit- riL'lii time the roads will be I I had a monument to the present , gem-notion tor ages to come and a luxury to the coming generations till mansions have ladtd into dust and our magnificent torests have gone and come again. 1 had thought of adding some statistics on road building in lhi> country during the decade, but finding that this article is already too long, I shall relegate this to the pen of some one who can treat of it more efficiently than I, per Imps. 1 he editor, Mr Wolfe, will doubtless touch upon this matter in his editorial, and in closing, 1 shall say that this article, brief as it is, will have served me adequately it it in anyway incites a better feeling towards the g< o I roads movement. Of course it must be borne in mind that Macadam roadn will cost anywhere liom $2000 to $5000 per mile and consequently the county of Williamsburg is in no condition to commence upon these, but pood roads, which are as serviceable loi the present as any, are com pre bended by this ravine; "Labor omnia vincit" of the great road builders of the middle apes.
