We .are in receipt of the

by the Washington Post. The
Almanac is especially valuable.

Prof. Holmes says that the cost of
hauling' to the farmers of the Stale,
exceeded by five million dollars per
year what it ought to be. The mon
ey spent to make good roads would
be more than well spent, h.
The members of commftfee could
plainly see how rich counties could
duplicate the method and machinery
of Mecklenburg, but' what would the
poor counties do? A crushing outfit
would cost about $4,000, at the least.

stop farming and put 1,000 convicts.

Probably one of the most
sensible bills introduced in the
Legislature, now in session at
Raleigh, is the one that im
poses a tax of fifteen cents per
package on cigarettes. This
bill if passed will do a great
amount of ood. While it
might not prevent the sale of
them in the State it would have
a tendency to reduce the num-! counties the State machinery

start with. The farmers could fur-
e stone except in some few
localities, where railroads would haul
it at cost.
The cost to maintain, keep and
guard 1.000 convicts would be about
$100 per year each. The total for
the 1 000 . would be $100,000. These
should build 100 miles of road per
yjear. The state could make, no bet

the roads need not be so well graded

GOOD ROADS.
n,
A committee was appointed
by the legislature now in ses
sion to inspect the roads of
Mecklenburg ;county (which,
by the way, are the best coun
try roads in our State) and re
port to that body the result of
their investigation. '
" The Charlotte Observer of
Sunday devotes a goodly por
tion of their space to the visit
of these ofentlemen and also
gives some reading that should
interest us all. The informa
tion given is not based on an
estimate, but is the outcome of
actual experience, as this coun
ty has for some time been at
work' improving their roads.
To day it stands as a model of
what a county with plenty of
"push" can accomplish in this
work.
The following taken from
the Observer ' shows the cost
of such work :
Price paid to larmers lor stone
delivered and piled on road ready to
. be crushed, 4Qcts per cubit yard.
About 100 convicts usually work.
. Cost ot roads about $2, $00 per
mile.
Cost to maintain and guard con
victs, 25Cts each per day.
be rented to crush stone.
There are enough convicts
in our penitentiary to accom
plish this. Let the State aban
don their farms and put those
now on them at work to eive
us good roads throughout the
State.
Then after this has been
done, nothing will prevent
returning to the farm!
If the State would organize
this work those counties which 1
are at present financially una
.ble to build such thoroughfares
would exert tliemselves to do
their part. i
That good ioads are essen
tial to the progress of any
community and- that the coun
try roads of this section of our
State are not of the best are
two. facts that all must admit.
It has been proven by ex
perience that with good roads
the year round the farmer is
better able to market his pro
duce, hence all classes of trade
in the different towns which he
patronizes will be more active.
We trust that the State offi
cials' will devise some means
by which we may have roads
throughout the country that
will be a source of pride to the !
old North State.
