We are devoting considerable
space to the Good Roads proposi*

is of more or less interest to every

much is yet to be learned.
The reciprocity bill bas passed

praise upon the Democrats for help

OPERA HOUSE BUILDING |
THE SOUTHERN GOOD ROADS
TRAIN AND OBJECTS, v >
The citizens of this section will
bo given a fine opportunity to
learn about the importance of
good roads and the best methods
of building and keeping them in |
| repair, when the "Road Improve
ment Train" being operated by
the Southern Railway and affili
ated lines working in conjunction
with the United States Office of
Public Roads, visits Graham on
Monday, Jnly 31st, at 8:30 a. m.
The train consists of lecture
and demonstration coaches
equipped with a stereopticon, ex
hibits and working models, and is
accompanied by Messrs. L. E.
Boykin and H. S. Fairbanks, two
government .road engineers, who
from wide experience are qualified
to give the most valuable infor
mation on good roads building.
W. J. Hurbut, of the Land and
Industrial Department of the
Southern Railway, goes with the
train.
It is the object of the "Road
Improvement Train" to not only
stimulate interest in the good
roads movement but to give prac
tical instruction in the building
of roads and their repair. Presi
dent Finley of the Southern Rail
way is an ardent good roads ad
vocate and realizing the vast
economic importance of a system
of improved high nays to the peo
ple of tbo South, made it possible
to have this "Good roads school
on wheels" visit all the territory
served by the Southern Railway
and allied lines in order that the
people might have the opportuni
ty to receive the Information as
to the Improvement of roads
which it affords.
The Southern Hallway, at great
expense, in handling this train
without charge to the government
or the poople and all the lectures
and demonstrations are free. The
lectures and exhibits are bound to
prove helpful to all Interested In
good roads and the experts will
be ready to answer all questions

whose solution may bo puzzling

Improve bis road.
The, working models will be
shown in actual operation, the
motivo power being furnished by
a gasoline engine installed for
the purpose, and with then*) tliel
I experts are enabled to er.plaiu
what materials make tlio best
roads and how they are made aud
■ repaired at tte smallest necessary
J cost.
The "Road Improvement Train"
will be on the road continuously
all the summer and fall complete
ing an extensive tour ovpr the
whole South of Richmond, Va.,
at a good roads convention to be
held there iu October. The tour
began at Mobile, Ala., May Ist
and a warm reception has been
accorded the train at- all stops.
Those in charge of " the train
extend a cordial invitation to the
people of this community to at
tend the exhibition. All county
officials and road supervisors are
asked to take part and the ladies
will be especially welcome.
We note that ample provisions are
being made for a good Athletic seas
on next year at Elon College, adver
tisement of which occurs elsewhere
in this paper. The authorities have
not yet announced the name of the
new athletic director. He will how
ever, have charge not only of the
baseball team snd its coaching, but
he will have general oversight over
tennis, basket ball and track exer
cises. Mr. W. H. Fleming, Barling
ton, N. 0., who 5s manager of the
base ball team for next year, is get
ting together a strong aggregation
of players and is srranging a very
satisfactory schedule. The physical
exercises of the young ladies of this
institution are under the direction
of the Teacher of Expression, We
will thsnk our readers in writing for
catalogue or information, to mention
this psper.

Good Roads and Motor Vehicles.
The Sc'ent'flc American of July
15th quoi i a Ith approval a por
tion of an article from the Engi
neering News whieh is or should
be of intereet to all the people.
We quota from the article:
"The advent of the commercial
motor vehicle is tateres-Jng to
, highway engineers from two
points of view. In the flint place
it will enormously increase the de
mand for good road construction.
In the aecond place it will like
' wise enormously increase the
' wear and tear upon road surfaces.
Perhaps this is the most import
ant engineering problem of all
those presented by the advent of
tho motor vehicle.
"As every eagineer engaged In
highway construction knows, the
advent of the pleasure automobile
has revolutionized our whole
problem of highway construction,
hnA pnvcti catty dotfbled the cost
per mile of permanent'macadam
roads and baa probably much
more than doubled the annual
cost of maintenance. It haa been
hoped by the engineers who have
most to lo with road problems
that a fairly satisfactory solution
has been reached through the use
of the latest and best forms of
bituminous macadam involving
an increased expense in construc
tion and maintenance about as
outlined above.
"If, however, as seems not only
probable but oertaln, we are in
the near future to add to our
present heavy passenger automo
bile traffic the traffic of heavy
motor trucks, oarrylng loads of
two to eight tons and propelled at
speeds reaching 20 miles an hour
or higher, what sort of road sur
face can the engineer provide that
will stand the wear, and yet not
exceed the taxpayers' limit of
elasticity? We shall not attempt
to answer this question. We
doubt whether anyone is wise en
ough to snswer it now; but it is
one that will have to be answered
in tho near future.
. "Sooner or later, the heavily
burdened taxpayer la certain to
raise a protest at the enormous
burden imposed upon him for
road maintenance. Sooner or
later, conservative sentiment will
awaken to the foolishness and
wickedness of unloading upon
posterity the burden of paying for
good roads which are destined to
be worn ont long before posterity
arrives. Sooner or later, we must
place upon the owner of the auto
mobile the burden of paying for
the wear and tear which his ma
chine produces upon the roads.
''The fool propaganda of good
road enthusiastics has widely dis
seminsted the notion that good
roads are cheap to build and onoe
built cost little to maintain; and
this notion has caused a vast
amount of trouble for engineers.
"It is important that the public
should understand that good roadß
cost money and a lot of money to
build and maintain, and that with
the advent of the commercial au-
I tomobile their coat per mile for
bolh construction and mainten
ance is likely to bo materially
greater in the future."
