The Present Method Of Working
Roads A Great Failure As
Proven By The Pust
Fifty Years

Editor Reporter :
j I aoticed in your last week's 1
j paper that there had been an I
i election ordered for Beaver,
j Island township on the question ,
' of a bond issue for road building.
• It seems that the good r.oad
spirit prevails everywhere. We
are glad to see the progressive
spirit asserting itseif in old
| Stokes. It seems that the ol !
1 method of working the roads has
• -got to go. Tlk '"g peop'e or
the county want letter t :

' Every c'e.tio:; ihat b hvM has to
be paid for. Why not settle ine
; question and put this money on
| the roads and g»'t the use of it.'
• The old road system is a failure.
We have been working roads
1 50 years and they are no better
; than they were 50 years ago.
The handwriting is on the wall.
The young people that have to
| work the roads are determined
, .to put the road tax on a more
equal footing. The man that
uses the roads most has got to
i come across and pay the most
road tax. The young fellow that
j has to put G days on the road is
i pajing more road tax than some
-• saw mill men that have half dozen
teams, and more than f.otr.e men
th; t run aufo.nubiles over the
roads. Tie road workers are
getting tired cf this discrimi
j nation and demand a change an.l
arc determined to have it, so
why not let it come? It's bound
to come sooner or later. I say let
• it come now and let's get the
benefit of it. I have viewed
this from a different standpoint,
! but now I see it is the only
remedy, so I say let i' comi - .

brother also preceded her to
the better land some years ago.
She leaves one sister, Hiss Ruth,
and one brother, Mr. Peter W.
Hairston. to m mrn their loss.
Miss Agnes will be so sadly
i missed by the home circle and
by every one that ever knew
her for her main object in this
: world was to do good to every
one she came in contact with.
Miss Agnes with her sister
' spent several months last sum-

Sorr.e Things !'e Would l.ii-.eToi
See In Friendship Church in
1914.
We are living in a progressive j
, age. New methods and inventions '
are used to a great advantage
in almost every department of
jlife. If the business, political
'and ecucati nal world find it
j worth while to use the best
! methods, it seems to me the
I church ought to count it a great
I joy and privilege to adopt any
j system that will help it to do
| more efficient work.
! It will be an untold blessing to
' Stokes county and the world
when more of its churches get
| a working vision of their golden 1
i . .
! opportunities.
I believe the King of Glory
smiles upon a progressive church. |
I wish to name a few things
that will help our church to do
the work it ought to do.
