Page 4 The Danbury Reporter PEPPER BROS., EDITOBB AND PUHI.IHUEBH. Subscription : 3 mo., 25c.; 6 mo., 50c; one year, SI.OO WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 24. 1912. With this issue the Reporter finishes its 40th year in the business, the first issue having appeared January 25, 1872. The people of Danbury and other points ncrth are paying 30 to 40 cents tax per hundred on their flour, chop, meat, etc., now, have been at it for weeks and must keep it up for a long time yet. Yet we hear not many squeals. The mud tax for a few years will buy a good farm. The U. S. Supreme Court this week handed down! a decision which is a great victory for the liquor in-, terests. The opinion, which was a test case, declares! the unconstitutionality of an act to prevent shipping beer into a dry State. Of course if the ruling applies to beer, it will apply to liquor. Liquor is declared legitimate merchandise just the same as meat, oil, lumber or hardware. You fellow who have fed two or three mules since the middle of December, unable to get out and do anything on account of the bad roads—how much is your tax? Just count it up, and you will be aston ished, tho of course not convinced. If Charley Jones pulled this much money out of you for county, state, pensions and schools, you would cuss a purple streak. But long as it goes for mud, you keep mum as an oyster. Mr. J. Walter Tuttle, one of the leading citizens, merchants and farmers of Yadkin township, it is learned expects to leave the county soon. It is quite common to hear of them going, but how many do you hear moving in? Bad roads may not be the direct cause of Mr. Tuttle's determination to quit us, but the Reporter will bet its bottom dollar bad roads are the indirect cause. Mr. Tuttle will go to better school facilities for his children, and better condi tions for his business. And is there so great a dis couragement in the world [to these things as bad roads?

THE DANBURY REPORTER WAR ON THE BOli WQHL; CAMPAIGN FOR GOOD ROADS Interesting Method* for Helping the Farmers Fight Cotton Foe for Arousing Interest I* Road Improvement. The advent »t the boll weevil Into the territory of the Southern Rail way System caused It to take up work to combat its ravages. To this end a cotton culture department was organized, with a chief and a force of field agents, each one of whom lias had practical experience in growing cotton under boll weevil conditions, to cover the districts of Alabama end Mississippi where the weevil has al ready appeared or threatens. More re cently the work of this department | was extended to Southern Georgia along the lines of the Southern llail j way and the Georgia, Southern and Florida. The agents of this depart ment work in harmony with those of I the United States farm demonstra | tion bureau and with the state au- I thorities, doing special work with the I individual fanner in instructing him ; In the best ways to raise cotton un der weevil conditions and in showing him how he can diversify his crops to the best purpose. The management of the Southern Railway System has long held that the improvement of the country road meant prosperity and advancement alike to the railroad and the resident of ita territory, and especial benefit to the farmer. Ten years ago, in 1901, It started out Its first Good Roads train, which spent six months build ing demonstration roads, holding road conventions and agitating for better highways. There la Juat ending the tour of another good roads train, also out six months, operated by the South ern Railway System in Co-operation with the United States Office of Pub lic Roads.
