Hon. J. Preston Gibson,
of Bennetts vilie, has been re
elected to the House of Rep
resentatives from Marlboro
county. No better selection
could have boon made, and
we venture to say, no other
county will have an abler
representative id the Genera)
Assembly of the State.
"Good Roads [Make Great
Nations."
Such is the heading of a
of last week. Its author is
Congressman W. P. Brown
low, of Tennessee, who dis
cusses the question of good
roads with clearness and
ability. The Commonwealth
perhaps more than a year
ago, printed a number of ar
ticles about government aid
to public roads, in which it
was claimed that the govern
ment can as well aid the pub
lic highways on land as well
as on water. Congressman
Browniow says that the en
tile constitutionality of the
government aid to publio
roads is now almost univer
sally admitted, and he argues
well the justice of such a
movement. He says it is
the greatest and most impor
tant question before the peo
ple and before the govern
ment. The farmers of the
oountiy pay more then hslf
the taxes and receive no di
rect consideration at the
hands of the government.
While the farmer might be
the first to be directly bene
fited by the making of good
roods by the government, he
would by no means be the
only one benefited. Mr.
Browniow points out the in
dustrial, educational and
moral advantages to be de
rived from good roads. When
the farmer, who is th* main-!
stay of the world, prospers,
all others will prosper ac
cordingly. Good roads make
It possible for the tenner to
realise a large percent, more
for the products of his farm.
The rural schools are tbs
orate of learning jrhane*
come the best and truest men
i for every phase and station
andcaliiug in life. Good
roads will do more towards
making splendid possibilities
in the country districts than
any other one interest. Take
away the wholesome and
moral influences of the coun
try churches, and you strike
a blow at moral progress and
development. Good mads
are one of the greatest con
veniences for the rural pop
ulation to get to church on
the Sabbath. Congressman
Brownlow says that the pres
ent congress can do much
for the relief of the people
throughout the country if
only the iViembers of that
body will take a serious view
of the matter and go to work.
Ho closes his very able paper
by asking the question,
“Will tho people lot their
senators and representatives
sleep upon a bill which pro
vides for their paramount
needs?” He clinches the
whole matter in the lest sen
tence by declaring that,
“without the domand from
the peoplo congress will not
act.”—Ex.
