"The bent roads we found and at

we found good roads we also saw

demand for good roads has a more
substantial backing than sight-seeing
automobiles Ensctly the opposite
was true wherever the roads were
bad. noticeably so on a stretch of
about eight miles between I.nOrange
and Seven Springs, on another 1
stretch of about eight miles between
Selma and Kenly and equally so. T ,
