Do wo need better roads Wilkes? ,Do; the 'people;' of Wilkes , want .better roads? vve Bupyyso tuwro is uoti;auau in vv ltKes county so Jgnoaaui or selfish as to deny T that wo need better : roads and, need i j. x. ' ' -ii them almost above all things eise m hum wuriu.-; uur, iubujs are positively, a disgrace to the county. -They grow worse and worse each year. Agri cu 1 tu re ;wiirnevef:paj-as-"vit.,--ough';tb; pay until .we get; better r roads." The" very thought.of marketing a crop over our; road's, especial : ly during the winter, is a hor rid nightmare. The social con; dition olour people win ; never be what it ought to : bo while we have such roads as .we no w have. To travel over our roads is -demoralizing. . Our people cannot -with any satisfaction visit each otherIf they hav to go far to church 'they are not in a devotional frame - of mind- when tliey get there. When they come to court they look careworn and jaded. Ask the average -'.citizen when he comes totown how the roads in his community are and- he hangs his head and looks like scandal had . happened , in r his family.-' Dq the people , of the county want better r roads? Niqe out of en do. Now and then you will hear an old'; ciiss say the roads are' as good as they were when he was . a boy and thatthey were good enguiih then. : Such men are .not worth the raw material it took to naake them. It would have been bet' ter for them and their country if they had been drowned;, be fore they got their eyes open The man that can see anything can see that it will be rvery much to his advantage to ;have better roads. He has learned this in the hard school of ex perience. . Even a fool- can learnln that school. There' is no dc?ubt but that a large ma jority of our people fa vor- bet ter roads by almost any. mean s they.can get them? ; The last -question, is, can the people of Wilkes ge better roads? We ask this , question with a sigh. ' We' are afraid they cannot by any ordinary means. The county commis sioners had a fine opportunity to do something, started-to do it, and then ' crawfished. It seems that the very top round of their ability is reached when they grant a half-dozen pett tions for country' cross-roads per year and take the . hands eff the main thorough fares, to make them and keepthem up. We are not saying this because the county commissioners are republicansHWe would say;it justa.8 quick and emphatically: if they were C democrats. - They are public servants ; and;- aima-, ble to : criticism ; Last week seven or eight able-bodied men' were etit off to work on th'6 public ' roads . in ' .Iredell county. JThe aggregate of their wuuj.r. do - -. - v terms represents twelve years hf fahor. - Labor cost some thing now-a-daysy yet here is all that labor 1 lost to.- Wilkes county.- The e"xcuse has" heen heretofore that the county.

The school will open Oct. 4th. We have surely fallen upon queer times.
