Wednesday Evening, '
Southern Railway Good Heads Train.
Tothe:Editor; ;
The great good sense of Presi
dent Hnley of the Southern Rail
oadin trying to improve the
country- through which its line
runs is again shown. Along its
bars, one for the party in charge,
pe for lectures and one with
models ot good roads and good
roads machinery. At Durham the
leqtnre" was given in the Arcade
Theatre and the pictures show
ing good soads and bad thrown
on a large: screen. Same of the
pictures of good roads served to
remind me of roads I have known
on my good native county of Per
son One of the most interesting
pictures shown was of two wagons
$pch met on the street in Laur-
ejis along roads that had not been
improved and brought only one
e of cotton. The other
came from west
M the town over goad
roads and brought six bales. Lot-
ton had gone up a dollar a b:le
and there was that day a great
rush to putcottonon the market. ;
One man lost five dollars that day
compared with his fellow farmer
by reason of the bad roads. If we
cGiant five more days time lost in
getting other five bales
Wm the market,., the
yh,x of team and vehicles; we
add many more dollars to
&s. Mdrever, if wesubs cot-
he gets his other five bales; to
market we can se6 that his mud
tax is heavy and it would oe wis
dom for him to pay a big road
tax provided he can; get good im
proved level roads. Another pic
ture showed two horses drawing
easily a wagoh with a six thou
sand pounds on a good road. Still
another showed a nine hundred
pound mule drawn with difficulty
450 pound load of tobacco, "one
pound of mule pulling one-half
pound of tobacco " as the lectur
er said.- x
While we were looking at the
model I overheard Mr. Gilbert!
White a great practical civil en
gineer says that Person County
is naturally endowed with mate:
rials for fine clay and sand roads
fVm.t if Ppvsnn rpnnlf wrmld hav4?
tneir roads laid orr.ior trie easiest
a
grading so that they could keep-i
them up with the least expense,
would then cut up tha red clay
spread several inches of sand over
the red clay, mix it thou ghly with
disc harrows, and then crown it
up with log drags and keep it so
crowned, if they would do
tbslt Porson County would have
splendid roads. Imagine what it
would be to treat the Bushy Fork
road in that style. This
would take from $200 to $6000,
to the mile;' macadiniizing coast,
from $4000 up to the mile. ,
Every "part'of the. state, isget
ting interested in the benirit,
even the necessity of good roads.
