ADDRESS BY A T GOOD ROADS MEETING Mr. President, Bretlirea of thm Prou Mid Good Roads Enthusiasts: Civinf an III ut ratios of his obstrra iioa by citing a number of articles of loesJ interest and importance contained ; In an item of a country weekly, luiitor Clarence rL roe, of the rrogrMtivt rar Bar, recently wrote very aptly, I think, as follows: There is hardly nay more (ratifying derelopment in the south today than the tendency of our newspapers to give less attention to the faraway issues and theories and mora attention to the bis. TitsJ, throbbing problems of building up tne counties and towns in which they are located that God given task to which ther are called." This is indeed gratifying, and the ten dency, apparent to ail who review the oosres of newspapers of the state, is snaking Itself mere and more manifest. Tho Mwi, weekly and daily, are giv ing mora apaoa to besna topics, a dis onasnom of w4ich wakes for improve ment ad progress than ever before. Tab la especially true of Uia weekly, which baa too often wasted space on ubvsota of ao immediate ooncern to its reed era. Every live weekly today car ries oditoriai comment and news stones On Ouch subjects aa more corn and morv , wheat to the acre, crop rotation, results i some farmer has obtained from a trial of aew method, drainage, special taxj for arhools, and good ruada. i This is sirniflcant. It means that the preen is wide-awake, that the people are also, and that this is an era of change and progress. And it is far Ices common than formerly for an editor to select the fence Jn a fight for improvement, be cause of late veers the press hsa found its financial feet and is sble to stand on tbem. I doubt if in all North Caro lina there is a newspaper today that is ao much afraid of some "big-bug" wthn opposes the expenditure of money for echools or road, that it would devote a column of editorial to denouncing Rus sia for her treatment of the .lews, dur ing a campaign for bnn issue when the cawan of progress called for every line of the paper to support it. In anwering this call of it God given duty, the local paper is doing much for 5 nod roads, both directly and indirectly, t helps the cause of better hifphwsys when it advocate more com and more wheat, better stock, improved agricul tural methods, and better schools, for the hour a farmer brings hia farm up to WIWAfAIUV vmm0 I m Commencement Time Is Coming fS 8 3 MrtvAj the plan for the pvwni n1 th part (Towni are being made.

Large Assortment of MR VARNER modem standards, that hour ha need good roada mora than ever before, and favors them more strongly. More corn means better roads, the development of the auhoola means development of the highways, any progressive action what soever is a step towards improved roada; and, on the otaer hand, good roads mean still more torn and wheat, still better schools, still more progress in every par titular. For the cause of good roada is closely linked with every other cause that makes for better things. And the country weekly is taking the lead in he improvement of the farm and the roads connecting it with the mar ket becotnea a force for the upbuilding of the whota country, with its diversified iu Ureal, borausa the farm is the foun dation of the republic, and it is through agricultural evolution that real, lasting prosperity and great n cm will coma. If the farmers are in good shape, ao is the country aa a whole, and the revere is likewise true. "Hie condition of the highways is of vital interest to the far mers and has a farreaching influence on their baeineas. Community after com muaitv baa shown that good roada con tribute to the prosperity of the farmer and to his wealth, and in aiding the good roads movement the press is there by adding to the ainete of the country. In arguing the mad question, it seems to me thst it would he wise to urge the construction of high clans roads for the main haghwsvs. like the amiesite mad, a cotlv but enduring tvpe of ennetnic tion thst will bear anr sort of traffic from aiitomotffles down. Next to that etaivs the ordinary macadam, and while it, tno. 1 expensive, vet the prews in urg ing good roiida should not fail to hold up n 1 wvs the ideal of the befit road ponihp. llaoadam cannot be pecurwi in all counties at the present, and tftiere remain then the gravel road and th nand-clay rond, both aerviceable types and inexpensive. And finally, where there is no immediate opening for any conaiderable road improvement, we think that one of the mmt attractive, direct opport unit iea of the pre to aid the good roads movement in North Carolina today is to cdurste the people to the value of an absurdly simple, yet won derfullv effective invention, known ai the split Ing dwg. Few communities can afford to build permanent stone road. and for year to come dirt roads must he ucd in moMt of Carolina territorv. TTu'e being so, the problem of good roads in tfee majority of our counties resolves itself into the proposition of making ntrt roads as gooa aa pouioie at me A .11 x U 1. 1L- imaiicsT' raprnitr. nrrr is w nrrc inr i a. i a : - j : nrag comes in. w is exiiisiny uea in the went, where minerablv bad roads have been transformed into boulevards at practically no expenditure of money. In the south, strange to say, the people have not taken hold of the idea. North Carolina pHper have published quite a good deal ahmit it. but there is much more to be aid of it. snd constant ham mering on the subject in bound to bring the drag into genera una. There is an abundance of literature on the theme, meaty and convincing, and it should be limM IUerHlly by the pres. The Sat urday Evening Poet carried sn article Mav 7 thst ought to be reproduced in every weekly newspaper in the state. and. I am glad to say, van in several. The gremment office of public roads JladlT nirniKhen lpvial articles the dra. m it does about road 1 in t;ner1.

The drags cost about $2 each. Select a road leading into town for experiment. Oct the farmer living on it to agree to drap. say. a mile each. fi i short time a rood road, properly shsped. crownM and drained, re- suits, and the vrhole county has been educated and convinced. " vSome- timea I think that the drag a lid Uiia little plan of cooperation hare not beea taken hold in our state, )uat because the whole tmag it ao simple and inexpensive. The press ought to begin a lirely eampe.ifrn for the plan, because, it is the only possible way for road improvement in some couaties for years to. come. It atanda midway be tween the unimproved road and macad am, and aervea its purpose well. There are various waya of creating road aentiment and in bringing about road improvementa without money, one simple expedient being to here the coun ty commissioners set apart certain days for road work by all hands, designating such days as good roada daya. This waa tried in Davidson county last eura mer with most excellent results. The commissioners named three daye in July and called on tne people to turn out and work the roads. 1,500 eititena an swered the call and gar the public roads such a thorough working that it was said that more was) dona during those three daya than had been done oa the roada in teat years. The Davidson eountr commissioners think ao well of the idem tfcat they have aet apart July 8, 9 and 30 aa good roada day in .Dav idson eounty, ijm the roada will again receive a much needed working. 7e automobile has been and win con tinue to be a potent good roada influ ence, and while I would not advise the editor of any country weekly to pur chase a machine in order to build up the good roads propaganda in his county at least not while the present low ad vertising rate, are in foroa ret it will not be amiss for the paper to call at tention to tho far-reaching influence of the machine for better highways, put ting in a word for the autoiat in order to lessen the prejudice against him. For many people vehemently declare that ther will not tax themselvea to build good roods for these modern trav elers to use. This ia passing and in time will pass away entirely, but the press can hasten the day. A good road for au automobilist means a good road for the farmer and everybody else, in cluding the old lady with a box of eggs in the back of the buggy. Proponed highways connecting distant towns should receive instant and hearty encouragement at the hands of the press, for the time is coming when North Caro lina will he traversed in every direction by such roads, and they will prove a tremendous factor in the development nf the commonwealtV They will not onlv accomplish what a good road al ways does for those who live along its course, hut these highwava will attract tourists from abroad, sad that means a largery increased saeaey circulation. It is said that in one email resort in New England last summer aa much aa 16,000 a dav was spent by automobile tourists drawn taither from many states by al luring roads which penetrated a terri torv rich in scenic attractions. Wriile slwavs. and ever, the cause of good roads and politics should be kept for from each other, yet Hie press can render fond service by demanding that the men who represent us in the general assembly be men who fsvor building good road, wiio are not, nfraid to cham pion 'measures looking toward the ex- nenditure of mihlie mnnev for this our. nose. A rmnrl rosds leiislstnre would bring a good roads era to North Caro- lina at once. What would otherwise! happen onlv after the lapse of a weari- j some time would occur now. The state aid idea is being put into practice in ! everr good rosds -tete. It is no longer 1 an experiment. N'cw .Tersey and Vcw I tork for veers have demonstrated thst it is the liition of the nllestion And the pres should not onlv demand that ! candidate, for local snd state offices favor good road., but they should labor : to secure good rosds congressmen, for there i no dnubt in mv mind that the I national government ought and some-i in importance by no other question. In time will hejrin to take interest in the.it is bound up the bappiness and prog construction of good road, and will aid iress and prosperity of the country. The the states in the work.

If yon will pardon a personal refer- I enee. I jll recount how the Lexington ' Dispatch did excellent' work for too good roads imoremrnt in its territory, and in cidentally made money and extended its circulation and increased ita iufluenee, by 0ieratuig two special trains from Davidson, Dario and Yadkin counties to Charlott for the purpose of showing mora than two hundred farmers those magnificent highways which radiate from tho Queen City into all parts of the county of Mecklenburg. Those who went wore selected by aunerribera of the paiter who expressed a' ekoiat of can didates when ihey paid auboeriptiuna. Few of these farmers had aver traveled on a modem macadam road; oomo had never ao much aa aaen auca roada as art in Mecklenburg; I behove there was ana or perhapa two who bad newer boon on a train in their uvea; and all were xaea who, aa most farmers do, live the ma jority of their livea close at home, bound down to their unceasing round of farm work. J ne moat of tbem did not favor the. expenditure of money for roads on the plea of poverty. Theme nea ware taken out over the roads of tbo eounty, shown tho bridges and tbo road foveas at work, aaethoda wen explained, lessons tram experience told, tho expense set forth, how land values had doubled, trebled and neudnipled, tho advantage ol being able to rush product Co market in any weather when tho priors were high, how prioeo for produce had stead ily risen, and what wonderful improve ment had been made in churches and schools and farming as a result of good roads; and those visiting farmers went back to their home ladened with good roada argument and enthusiasm, became missionaries among their neighbors, and in the case of Lexington township, there is no doubt that too influence of the Davidson farmers who, made the trip went far toward the success of the elec tion in which 1100.000 of good roada bonds were voted. Other weeicly papers ran do this same sort of thing, and they will And that while they are doing good for their counties, they are also build ing for themselves and reaping good re turns on the investment of moneS and energy. The farmers appreciate thia kind of enterprise and I have yet to see a newa- ?aper fail that labored for the people, ou may undertake a movement that ta prompted -by selfishness, by a desire to extend your circulation and make yon money, and yet if you are at the same time doing something for the uplift of your county, you are doing much more than laboring for yourself, and the re sults will justify anything you may do. If you wage a etreauous campaign for good roada in you eoanty, you are working for yourself. The mas who does good in this world is euro to be re warded. I know of a certain gentleman, woo hegea life with a soatract written : out with God almigbty ao party of the second part, in which it was agreed that j if the efforts of the party of the flrst i part prospered, he would help the poor ! and do all he could for the material bet- ' terment of the people about him.
