Good roads make habitation ( along them most desirable. They , economize time and force in transportation of products, re duce wear and tear on horses, harness and vehicles, are a po tent'aid to religion, education and sociability. They raise the value of farm land and this alone should be sufficient to make every property owner in Stokes j county wake up to the fact that i good roads have a money value ■ as well as a political and social value, and leaving out conven- i ience, comfort, social and refined influence, which they do bring, about, and looking at them from the "Almighty dollar" stand- Eoint, they are bound to pay andsomely after they are one 1 time instituted. Under the present system of working roads in this county we ; have not had good roads and we j never will have them. The E resent system of road working , as become obsolete, perhaps it served its purpose in the time of our forefathers, but the present day and generation need more modern methods. It is utterly inadequate to meet the demands of the times. I happen to know a certain section of road in this county where every one of the 13 persons who work it are men and boys, who do not own a foot of land and only one of the 13 owns any stock and that one a solitary horse. Why is this? Because all the land owners are older men and are road free, and the ones who have the work to do ate the younger generation, who do not own anything and are not naturally very much interest ed in good or bad roads. This is only an example of the con dition of affairs over the entire county. The roads of Stokes county are in such a condition that a stranger would wonder why every overseer is not indicted and they would be, were it not for the fact that there is not a man who sits on the Grand Jury but is or has been a road hand at one time in his life and under such circumstances con ditions will never be any better. This old system has never made good roads and never will, and it is high time that we were adopting some new and more modern methods. In commun ities where good roads have been instituted they have been built by some sort of taxation. Now we would like to suggest a plan by which to work the roads of our county. Let us retain our present system of requiring those between the ages of 18 to 25 to work the road. Have an overseer for each road, but let us have a special road tax and pay the overseer and hands a specified amount, Require them to work say 3 or 4 days every six months, also have a township superviser to see that every over seer keeps his road in proper condition. In this way every section of the county would have good roads, and every commun ity would derive the benefits of same. . By adopting this method all the roads would be improved and in a couple of years good roads would permeate all parts of the county. Let us begin by round ing up the clay roads and prop erly draining them. By this system of paying for each day's work done, more and better work would be done and in a few years our roads would be in such condition that some per manent work, such as building sand-clay roads, could be done with much less expense.
