GOOD ROADS. ... -H; Farmer recites Advantages of good highways There is no. more helpful factor in the upbuilding and progress of a community than good roads, and it is possible for" every county in the stata to have such, i Thus caus ing it to forge to the front as a commercial centre. i Good roads cause an influx -of the best class of citizens who have money to invest, 'and that' is the class we wish in our midst. For instance, take Mecklenburg county. There they have the best roads in the state. Twenty five years ago Charlotte was nothing but & village; Today it has a i population of thirty f thousand souls; mostly due to its good roads. There the farmer instead of hauling one bale of cotton to the horse, 1 hauls five and six, thereby saving the wear and tear of extra trips for his horse and wagon, insreaa oi one eighth of a cord of wood they haul from three quar ters to one cord. xuere you can drive i tor mues on a smooth and level road: thus making theountry road; accessible to the town, and thus enhancing the value of the land, which seven miles in the country, it worth one hundred dollars per acre, while in Pasquotank it is worth not more than ten. If this county, had the roads of Mecklenburg, Elizabeth City would be a gieat commercial centre. i mi ... i i , . . men again' gooa roaas Knit a people closer together in a social way, and promotes' better feeling; They introduce or accehnte reli gion, which is the bedrock of prog ress and civilization and to which all goverments must look for their Dftrmanfitinv flnrl sfn.Vilif-e i i T "j v - Asain thfiV fedvinofl iha nana rt y education, by making the school houses nearer together, and they allow the -farmer boy to i stay on his farm and take advantage of the school at a much smaller cost. thereby giving him advantage of an , education, that he could not other wisejsicquire. i- ' Then again it gives a country better rail road facitities bv creat ing more traffic, andin thre en riches every class of - citizens,' by placing more money in circulation, because of the ease of travel in the rural districts, rand the ex change of commodities. ; f - - Faemeb.
