Shackell Would Have County Follow "One Mile", ' Suggestion Col. Bridgers GOOD ROADS ML!T COME SO LET ALL BOOST THEM " .: ' Editor Southerner:.. The letter by Col. Bridgers published in yesterday's r issue on the question, of good roads ' i was very Interesting and showed a guage of thought which I would ap preciate if followed by all the people of the county. " Men are. busy, we know, but the . matter of good roads is one so broad in scope, affecting so many people their homes, children, happiness and religion, that it would seem to be the - one live subject upon which we al! could unite. . . . . - ... The last two days' rain gave one a i pretty good idea of the effect dirt ' roads have '. upon those . who are : obliged to - travel. - Tuesday night Ihere were many, from adjoining towns who came to Tarboro to at- tend the concert but some of them, rather than face the agony of travel over almost impassable roads, had to pen remain here .oversight. . . Such a thing as this could not hap pen if our main county roads were ': in fit and passable condition. . Hard v surfaced roads to those who made s ,- twenty mile trip -on Tuesday night would have teen worth everything' and this condition is not singular and in the future will be more and more : " an usual condition unless we bestii .- ourselves and make.the effort to ob tain the only kind of road that will henceforth satisfy us. 2: ' As I see the matter it is not neces. sary to' gof Into any gigantic .scheme ' of road contracting.-- Like Colone' -Bridgers, I would advocate a mile pf experiment on hard surfaced roads - and then, when found practical and . - economical, which I truly believe will be found,to extend another mile or . two until we. have secured for our r selves the" main arteries of our coun? . ty paved with a serviceable and per ; ' manent roadway.' . t .-. . " In the pastjjve .have 'found . that when we wanted anything done we had to do it-ourselves.- This is an other, case in vdiich we must " relj upon our own efforts and do what we purpose doing to better the roads of the county, without worrying, our selves with what the state and nation are going to do for us. Don't figure too much on outside help in solving s our problems, but let us manfully ' face the situation and do the very best we can permanence and eco nomy always considered. y - ;It seems to rrte past comprehen sion to believe that the people of this county are willing to forego the con ; venience, safety and time-saving that "will be theirs when we have well ' graded, hard-surfaced -thoroughfares throughout our county, nor do I be lieve these same people, who have in the past and a keen eye to labor sav ing appliances, -have not given some consideration to the question of good - roads. If they have or have not now is certainly the time when every one of them should lookjia his and her own interest and time-saving and de termine that the present roads we so : frequently travel over in this age of activity are not good enough for the ' people of Edgee?mbe who know a . good thing when they see it, and will have nothing but the besV R.
