From Good Roads Bulletin.
During the past two decades
the good . roal movement in
North Carolina lias taken more
definite Khapa than at any pre
vious period of our History.
The varying fortunes of politi
cians have been staked on the
outcome of this issue, and repu
tations have been won and lost
by adherents to the belief that
the people desired this public im
provement. Recent develop
ments, however, point to the
gratifying result that many of
the people who in its earlier
stages resisted the advancement
of this crying need, are now its
most earnest advocates, beeaufee,
like other public necessities it
has proven, beyond theory or
t'avil, that it is absolutely essen
tial to the best progress of a
nation, a State or even a local
community.
It is a matter of congratula
tion that the peop.le of our State
ftiave already passed through
the stage of education as to the
'benefits" resulting from good
roads and the desirability of
having them in every locality.
Probably no person within our
borders now would for a mo
ment contend that better public
jvads fail to promote every phase
of human happiness, and that
.the degree of happiness thereby
attained is measured by the state
of perfection to which our public
highways are improved. It is
useless to employ arguments
jipon that part of the contro
versy, because it has unmistak-
iy been settled in the minds of
ie citizens of North Carolina.
Their present great interest in
lie road building and the de-
manifested in all portions of
tate tor, miormation upon
infection has not become o-pnernl
in the State, and out of our 07
counties, this intelligent "modern
road improvment is carried on
in probably not more than a
dozen sections. A person has
only to visit Asheville, or Wins
ton, or Charlotte, or Raleigh, or
Wilmington to discover that in
any-section of North Carolina,
ocean, through the more elevat
ed middle section, to the rugged
mountainous counties, road im
provement to a high state of
perfection is possible, and even
profitable. He will also be im
pressed with the fact that im
proved highways .and increasing
prosperity go hand in hand; they
are twin brothers and are not to
be separated; to some extent
each is the cause and each is the
effect.

jour people are now confronte;!
with the probaby more difficult
problem determining the wisest
jind most practicable manner of
iirriving at a system of road
(building which will be suitable to
jur conditions as a people and
progress as a State. The most
reliable and experienced road
ibuiiders agree with one accord
ihat a crushed stone (or maca
rflam) road is the most economical
in the end and the most satis
factory at all times, and yet the
jgreat cost of construction will
prevent a large majority of our
counties from attempting this
method at present. (J ravel
roads are lesa expensive and rel
atively less durable, while" earth
roads or common dirt roads are
the clieapest and naturally the
least satisfactory. However, in
fe pr ogress which our people are
to make in road improvement,
.there must be a gradual improve
ment from the least expensive
iroads to a system which will be
substantial and which the pub
lic sentiment will demand, as the
. resources of our communities will
allow.

Poisoning the System.
It is'thraugh the bowels that, the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipation
keeps these poisons in the system, caus
ing headache, dulness and meloneholia
at first, then unsightly eruptions and
finally serious illness unless a remedy is
applied. I)eVitt's little Early Itisers
prevent this trouble by stimulating the
livei and promote easy, healthy actions
of the bowels. These little pills do not
act violently, but by streng'tlihning the
bowels enable them to perform their
own work. Never gripe or dist ress. Y.

"My mother suffered a long time from
distressing pains and general ill health
due primarily to indigestion,'' says L.W.
Spaldina, Veroua, Mo. ''Two years ago
I got her to try Kodol. She grew better
at once and now, at the age of seventy
six, eats anything she wants, remarking
that she fears no bad effects as she has
her bottle of Kodol handy." Dont waste
time doctoring symptoms. Go after the
