Advantages of Good Roads. (Cmposition by Mis3 Louise Mur? ray, 9th grade, Sumter Graded School that was awarded the $60. bicycle offered by Col. Albert A. Pope for the best composition on this subject. ) The subject of good roads is not of recent origin, for we are told that Caesar built gcod roads for his cavalry and infantry to pass over. These were so well constructed that they stood for ages and we are told that some are in good condition today. The art of building goods roads was taught by the Romans and has always been a subject of great interest to the civilized world. In our own country, nation, state, county, and even city the subject of good roads is attracting daily oar attention. ! In tie last session of the United States Congress, our Representative Latina er brought up a bill asking Con? gress to appropriate a certain sum of money for improving the roads. Why should nob Congress appropriate this, she gives money to keep our rivers and h arbors in navigable condition, thus benefiting those who have access them? Why not build good roads and benefit those that livs in rural dis? tricts? In the country men are building what they call clay sub-soil roads, in the city macadamized roads. When we travel over these, their advantages are at once noticed and appreciated by all. A national good roads convention will tie held at St. Louis May 17 to May 21, 19C4. The Secretary of State at Washington too bas sent invitations to foieign countries, asking them to send representatives. If the promoteis are fiuccessiul in their plans, and hopes, this will be the greatest con? vention ever held in this country for the promotion of this necessary in? dustrial development. Good roads are a sign of civiliza? tion, for where you find good roads you will also find civilized and refined people. They are progressive people, for they can easily communicate with the rest of the world and the centers of civilization. There are a great many uses of goods roads. 1. You can pass over them easier and .nore quickly, thus savin? time and libor. 2. Enhances the value of property when good roads are built. 3. Saving on beasts ofjmrden and tbe wear and tear cf wagons. 4. Great advantage to these, who j have' the modern improvements, snch as bicycles and automobiles. 5 Where there are good roads the Un i red States will establish nu re rc ral free delivery ma;l routes. Tho people living on those roads will ?nhsciin* to .nore newspapers and j magazines, etc.. and, in this way, | byewroe more intelligent and Informed oitiz?'Es. Th,ey become more literary J and in 'urn can benefit thoss with ? whom they come in contact. Medical Association Meeting. A meeting of the Sumter County Medical Association was held at the fletel Sumter Thursday. There were li members present. Dr. H. M. Sruckey led the discus? sion on Albuminuria. Dr. C. P.
