Danbury Reporter PEPPER BROS., Editors and Prop's. APRIL 26, 1911. A YOUNG MEN'S GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION TO BE ORGAN IZED IN STOKES COUNTY. There is a movement on foot to organize a Young Men's Good Roads Association in Stokes county, which will have for its mission the inculcation of good roads principles in the pres ent and coming generations, and the carrying on of a cam paign for the education of the people to the beauty, the efficacy, the vital importance, the indis pensable value, and the urgent necessity of good roads in the future history of our county. A number of young men of the different townships of the coun ty have already signified their eagerness to become members of the Association, while others will be solicited until the asso ciation becomes a power which will have to be reckoned with. The hope of the county is largely in the young men. In them must soon repose the bur dens of government, and it is of paramount importance that they should be trained up to recog nize the value of a sane economy in the administration of our in ternal affairs, and to conserve our natural resources, among which the happiness and pros perity of our citizenry is the head and front. Our young generations must be made to see the vital losses that the county yearly suffers, and the burdensome tax which our peo ple yearly pay in their tribute to the system of disgraceful roads which permeate every sec tion of our county. We once heard of a man whose meadows produced a fine yield of hay, but which he allowed to rot because it "cost" so much to get it mowed. This is a case in point illustrating an idiotic "false economy." There was a time which is fresh in the memory of men still living when prominent boned cows explored every high way of this region daily, and swine that could drink swill out of a Ridgeway jug, slept in the streets, living on watermelon rinds and gravels. No farmer dared to leave his fence less than ten rails tall for fear of the incursions of the crop de stroyers. This condition was allowed to exist because of the prevalence of some conditions of the popular mind, chief among which were stubborn ness, prejudice and ignorance. It took years of education, and several elections, to abolish the absurd "fence law," but today in an intelligent audience, it would be hard to get any citizen to admit that he once voted and worked and talked and cussed to keep it in effect. Likewise it will take some years of educa tion and several elections to convince the masses that our system of bad roads is a costly error, a vital extravagance, an idiotic policy which depletes population, destroys business, taxes the people to death, and brings on us the deserved re proach of intelligent people. The Young Men's Good Roads Association will have much to do, but it can do much. Its meaning is broad, high, deep, patriotic, and sacred. Its ac complishment will mean tre menduous possibilities for the spread of education, the en cou ragmen t of industry and farming, and the prosperity and happiness of the people. The home, the school and the church will be the chief beneficiaries.
