There iy at "present a very active propaganda in this Stafe for the bet terment of our -public highways, in which this A4hevlll? convention will play a WfitL important part. It -may be said that the movement is least active 1ft Tidewater, N. C., and It would be Interesting to inquire as to the causes of this condition. It may partly be due to the prevailing opin ion that macadam roads constitute the only means of getting better highways, and our lack of the-?eces sary material. It Is true that mac adam, roads .are -expensive every where, and particularly in the coastal ?ptain-aeetlow. but our people need to j be educated In the way of other nethods of road building. .. It Is the beat opinion that sand-clay roads af- 1 I lord the boat solution of the prob always oucoesgful, -because It is lm portant to obtain the proper quality: of sand and clay and to mix them in j | the right ' proportion: L.ocai experi- 1 ments are frequently necessary to determine tikis question. Hundreds of miles of these roads have been hJult In sitnUai:* sections In other Southern States, and they can be suc cessfully constructed here. It Is also Important to remember THat-no highways, no matter how wait constructed, can be maintained in good condition without constant sup ervision and repair. This is jusC as true of macadam roads as It is of sand-clay roads. Just as the most perfect roadbed of a railroad would,, soon deterioate if not maintained by constant repairs. Just In a^. lesser de gree Will the best highway deterioate | If not Intelligently maintained.

It took, he said, th?" country people a long time learn that the good town schools are drawing th? very best country blood because the conscientious peoplr felt compelled to ? go where they could educate their chiMren. and' they knew thoy could, by paying a small tax. educate all their children (or much less in a good graded school than they could send one child away from home to a pay school. fHa -8ma? the educators were ariven to Edward, where they were the guests of ,Mr. L.
