THE MOORE COUNTY ROADS.
A highly enthused -'party of Rood
roads advocates -returned to Ral
eigh from I'inehiirst yesterday after
noon. They were all good roads
men before they travelled over the
roads of Moore 'county, but the
speeding over the smooth roads,
mile after mile, with never a halt
on account of rough road, impressed
anew : the lesson of the importance
of good roadways, well maintained.
The lesson was doubly impressive in
the minds of the Wake men when
they learned that these Moore county
roads had been smooth and hard all
winter and they reflected on the con
dition of our own roads during the
winter period, and even in compari
son with our own roads now, rough
and filled with holes. In the Wake
party, which went to Pinehurst at
the invitation of Mr. Leonard Tufts,
ardent good roads man, and to
whose devotion to the cause the
good roads of that section owe their
existence, were Messrs. D. T. John
son, chairman of the board of county
commissioners; B. S. Franklin and
I. H. Lynn, members of the board;
B. C. Beckwith, county attorney;
A. C. Green, ex-commissioner; H. O.
Holding, county auditor; George W.
Norwood, county treasurer; H. E.
LItchford, president ef the chamber
of commerce: F. A. Olds, secretary;
J. B. Pearce, president or the
merchants association; H. S. Leard,
T. P. A. of the Seaboard; E. E. Brit
ton, of the News and Observer, and
the writer. There were thirteen in
the party, but there was nothing un
lucky about the trip. Mr. Leard, the
thirteenth man, is not a "Jonah", by
any means. He was most helpful
in every way.
Moore county has three townships
that, have built and are continuing to
build good roads. Those townships are
Sandhills, Mineral Springs and Mc
Neills. Pinehurst, in Mineral Springs
township, is near the center of this
good roads activity. This shows how
the sentiment is spreading. Begin
ning at Pinehurst, at first in pri
vately built roads by Mr. Tufts, or
by his father, the late James YV.
Tufts, who founded the resort, the
work has extended out in every di
rection, until now there are two hun
dred miles of roads, reaching every
town and hamlet in that section of
the county, and running through
every community.
Moore county is not a wealthy
county and these are not wealthy
townships. For the most part the
county is sparsely settled. The land,
well, even as near to the present
time as ten or fifteen years ago, a
Wake county farmer wouldn't have
taken It as a gift. He would have
regarded It as an encumbrance. But
they are not giving away land In
that section now. Neither are they
elling It for a dollar or two an
acre. But, although land values
have Increased, it Is still a thinly
settled,, poor country. This , being
true, one asks why, and how have
they built these roads? Walter
Page says they started the roads at
nowhere and ended them at nowhere.
According to him they had no place
to build roadB to and no place to
build them from. But they learned
In some way that where there were
good roads the communities were
Prosperous, that more people came
to them, Ahat there were good
schools and handsome churches,
that values increased and that they
were constantly on the up-grade.
Knowing what good roads were do
ing for other communities they de
termined to have them for them
selves. This, of course, isn't alto
gether true, as a whole. Certain
it Is though that they have been
aroused to the importance of good
roads and that the benefits are prov
ing everything, and perhaps more
than was expected. For who would
ever have thought ten years ago that
the time would ever come that any
Moore county land could not be
bought for fifty dollars an acre?
This high priced land is improved
land, of course, but before proper
methods of cultivation were begun
and it was touched by good roads,
it was just as unproductive, and
worth no more than the rest of it.
How then have they built the roads?
By downright pluck and a hearty
sympathy with the movement. It
hasn't all been easy sailing, either
in the minds of the people towards
road improvement or in getting the
money for the work after' getting
the people to a full realization of the
importance, of good roads.- Mr.
ruffs, of course, was the pioneer
tnd by example and precept, here a
little and there a little, lie spread the
sentiment until it has become. n con
tagion, sweeping that whole section.
But sentiment doesn't build roads
inil in any country getting the
money to build them is a problem.
In that poor county, with but little
axable property, it may well have
seemed well-nigh '".insurmountable.
In Mineral Springs township the
work has been done by taxation and
by private aid. The amount of
money raised by taxes each year, hew-
ever, is only fifteen hundred dollars."
With that fifteen -hundred yearly and
by private aid they have built their
roads and keep them in a state of
jerfection. The willingness of the
people to hell) out of their own
pockets shows how thoroughly they
appreciate their roads. Mr. Tufts
told us of one man, who he said
was not worth over three thousand
dollars, who had subscribed three
hundred dollars to a road they are
building now. There has been a
bond issue of fifteen thousand dol
lars in each of the other townships.
One township has about used up its
bond issue and the other is just be
ginning to use its. These are all,
separately or combined, small sums
of money as compared with the $N0,-
000 a year that Wake 'is now spend
ing on her roads. But the results
ire vastly different and all in favor
of the Moore county road builders.
The Moore county roads are built
of sand-clay, and gravel-clay mid
tost on an average $30(1 a mile.
They have been able to construct
roads cheaply by doing no grading.
If they had graded the roadbed the
total cost per.. "mile, would have been
from $ ."(( to $;oo a mile. They
thought, it better to have more roads,
with the steeper grades, than fewer
roads, with the lighter grade. One
thing in their favor is that they are
blessed with an abundance of ma
terial. They never have to haul it
very far and nature has even been
so kind as to properly mix it for
them in many Instances. They re
gard the gravel-clay road as ; the
better of the two. As before re
marked their roads are in perfect
condition and have been that way all
the winter and ever since they were
built. The more they are used the
better they get and the heavier the
traffic the harder they are. Roads
built four and five years ago, that
have never had anything on them
since In the way of repairs, except a
split-log drag, are the best roads
they have. But that split-log drag
goes on the road after every rain,
If possible. This constant attention,
Mr. Tufts says, Is the secret of their
success. He says that some of the
first roads they built were not well
located and not well built, but that
the constant after attention has
kept them In perfect condition and
Improved them from year to year.
It would be difficult to make the
application to Wake. Conditions In
this county are very different. It
would take from two to three times
as much per mile to build sand-clay
or gravel-clay 'roads here us there,
The material would be harder to get
and we would have a great deal of
grading to do. Neither of these ob
jections, however, count for any
thing, If the roads once built, would
be as serviceable and as permanent
as the roads of Moore. Eight hun
dred, or even a thousand dollars, a
mile would be a cheap road as com
pared with macadam, and a five-year
eld macadam road that has not been
repaired is almost impassable, while
a five-year-old sand-clay road is al
most as smooth as bitulithic. But
in Moore they have to do but very-
little ditching. The water quickly
seeps through the sand and disap
pears. There the sand-day road
bed is on a sand foundation and
water does not stand under the
road bed. Here the road -would be
built on a day foundation and the
day holds all the water that seeps
into it. The road-bed. with such a
foundation, might not have anythin
like the permanency of the Moore
county roads. This is a matter for
i road engineer, .or' possibly -for ex
periment. I he Wake commissioners
could not do a bolter thing than to
build a few miles of sand-clay ' road
iti order to test it here under the
different conditions.-. If it is found
that they will answer the" purpose
here it will mean the solution of
one Of the biggest problems now be
fore the county, for Wake -county
must have good roads. If she Can
get them for a fifth, or less, the
cost of macadam' it will mean an
immense, saving to the county. : i;
is certainly worth finding out.
Pinehurst is a great institution in
itself. Some of the 'Raleigh party
had not' been there' before and they
were captivated by .the -beauty and
magnificence of the place, and . by
its ' completeness. -.Located, in the
depths of the country, it has every
modern convenience. It has electric
lights, water, a central steam heat
ing plant that; furnishes heat for
every hotel and cottage in town,
dairy, garage, livery stable, con
servatory, kennel, department store.
library, school, church, golf 'course,
clubs and every other thing that
man wants to interest or -amuse.- or
for comfort. The largest hotel will
accommodate roo .people and it has
a complement of noo servants., "that
is house servants, while many more
outside come and go in its service.
It is closed now and will not' open
again 'until January.
The Seaboard is very much inter
ested in the development of the sec
tion and is doing a great deal of
work, especially in advertising it.
Southern Pines is to have a new
hotelto cost $100.0"). There is a
great scheme on foot for the de
velopment of Lake View, and Niagara
also is slatod in the go-forward class.
All these places, by the way, are on
the" Moore county good roads.
Of course the gentlemen of the
party had a good deal of fun out of
yacli other before they-: got' back.
ftnrwell Pearce was in high glee be
cause he beat the railroads out of a
nickel and had much fun out. of .Mr.
Leard on that account. The gentle
men who bought straight tickets
from Raleigh to Pinehurst, paid two
dollars. Mr. Pearce bought a ticket
to Southern Pines for $1.70. He
paid the conductor ten cents to get
from Southern Pines to Aberdeen,
and paid fifteen cents for a ticket
Deafness Cannot Be Cured,
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this Is Inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or Imperfect hear
ing, and when it la entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken put
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces. ,
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by
