Friday, Fkbruary 14, 1913. We are printing in this issue ft i article from the Charlotte Ob server on Wide Tires. The ar ticle from which the extracts are ta'en, was written by J. 13. Von c innon of West End, Moore county and we believe he is ex actly correct in his conclusions. There is no question but the narrow tires and poor drainage are the chief destroyers- of good roads. With these two evils eliminated the problem of good roads would be solved. Now the question is how to remedy these evils. The proper.'. location and grading of the roads will not be a very large job in many parts of the county and with the state furnishing the engineers to lo cate and superintend the work, it looks like Caldwell should have much better roads in a short time. But how about the T.res? This is a more difficult problem to deal with. Men say they will not work and it would be too expensive to force people to replace their present narrow tires with wide ones. We are i.iclined to think they over es t.mate these difficulties. There are a few broad tires used in the county mostly on the farms and they in nearly all cases are sat isfactory. Then the expense of changing the wagons need not be burdensome. We are told that an ordinary two horse wag on can be changed from a one and half inch tire to a four inch tire for ten dollars or less. This being true we believe the com rnissioHers should be empower ed to levy a tax of 50 cents per wheel on al two horse vehicles carrying loads of KMX) pounds or over, that use tire.s less than four inches wide and all one horse vehicles tarrying loads of fHX) ounds or over, should be taxes 2o cents per wheel on all tires under three inches wide and tires three inches wide or more exempt from taxation. These t ixes to be turned into a road fund for the upkeep of the roads in the county. As we uy above we are con unred that bad loca tion, l):id drainage and narrow tires are responsible for bad rovk and we believe lint her that the riHnedy suggested will corre- t these wrongs to a great extent in a short time and even tlially e mil' tt" t hem altnget her and thee measures are right liere within o'ir owngrasg if we will only app'y them. Of course tlie moro general the broad tires aro used the sooner the roads lsill b made good. We have people in this lonii ty, who say they are interested In better roads, yet they do not Come out and favor any plan for , getting them What is the mat ' ter? Are they waiting to see how the majority is going to act in the matter and then say "'jne too", or will they have and xpress an opinion of their own on the aobject?. Caldwell county can get good roads by two or three ways, one by a bond Issue, one by direct taxation and one by wide tires. Of the three, we are convinced the wide tires is the cheapest and best. It will take united effort though to get them in any way and the Good Roads Asso ciation, recently organized should meet and decide upon some plan of work and get at it in earnest. Talk will not build them neither ill individual effort, no matter how well directed. Broad tires improve roads; narrow tires make good roads bad. Greensboro News. Davenport Recital. The recital given Wednesday evening at Davenport College by Professor Birmingham, Di rector of Music and a class of his pupils, was well atended, regardless of the sharp winter pinch in the evening atmosphere. A program consisting of half a dozen select numbers was ren dered in an unusually artistic and talented manner. The par ticipants were especially clever in all their parts and elicited hearty applause. Mr. Birming ham was particularly happy in his renditions of the "Chariot Race" and the "Vagabond Prince." These selections seemed especially suited to his talents and style and every into nation, poise, jesture and ex pression; was well timed and ap propriate.
