When th,pedple can be made ftd" "understand that it actually costs more in, time and money to travel over a poor road i than it does to travel over a good one, they will be less incline to be grudge the expense ofgood roads and what it more import ant still, will be willing and anx ious to put the business of road making into the hands of intelli gent men who understand the business. ' Poor roads Jare the expensive things that curse a country district. 1 1 o o If so, this will ftiterest ypii. For Na'Limited Titne we will send you v The :Tayhr-Trotwood Magazine GOOD, vs.' BAD ROADS. The Kansas City Star throws & few hot shot into the non-progressive of every community on the road question in this manner: 4 'The plea that good roacls are -too costly belongs only to the -cheap statesman,5 the mossback, and such old-fashioned publica tions as The Joy ville Clarion. It has no place in the consideration of the problem of modern road building. "The primary purpose in se curing good roads is to eliminate the enormous and everlasting cost of bad roads. Modern coun try roads i)ar the same relation to the rural districts as paved streets bear Jo the cities. Paved streets "for municipalities are, first of all, a business proposi tion. The comfort and conven ience afforded by them is a mat ter of "secondary consideration! No city could be built on mud streets. Neither can agricultu- ral comnmti.es be developed on mud mads, And any condition that retards the fullest develop ment of country life is an ex pense that spells ruin and bank ruptcy in the end." The people of this section must soon; awaken to the losing policy "ot retaining a system of bad roads. . Get rid of the mud holes and: prosperity will be knocking , at every farmer's" gate. . ; A Necessary Luxury. K Anderson County Times. The telephone is one of the most iisef ul of all modern .inven tions. -JsTo busnet s is so small that itlcannpt be benefited by it, and no industry is so lai ge that it can be done without. It is no longer considered a luxury, but a necessity According to our in formation , , there arenly a few remote and" isolated corners' on the globe without telephone con-1 nection with the outside world. Our geography gives, only three notable' pjaces where the jingle of the 'phone bell is. not heard; They are: .On the Sahara desert, in portions of'vthe Rhino-tum-tum jungle of ScKith Africa, and in the Anderson county court house. 'Visitors from the North are reminded: that this is. the Sunny South, despite th polar atmos phere," softly murmured the At lanta Journal recently; If you want balmy breezes and life-giving sunshine, come to Columbus. IT the croakers and pessimists in every community could be at tached to the tail of Halley's comet and whisked through space : for-the; next 75 years Old Earth would become ayeritable para dise. ; A good roadway, on . about a 3 x pe cent grade . between Tryon and Columbus will be easily worth $50,000 to Columbus town Ship 1 k ' . Deveolping .Resources of the $outh. Zion's Herald, Boston, Mass. After making all necessary dis counts for the overstatements published by interested "boom ers," it is undeniable that the Southland is making reat sttjdes in economic developrn.ent. This fact will- clearly -appear when it is remembered that ihe Souths cotton cro for 19C9-1010 is worth not far from :oner billion dollars, or about twice as mnh as the output of all the gold mines in the worjd for the same year. Soutnern cotton mills are now consuming 2,500,000 bales of cotton y ear, or as much as all other mills in the United States are consuming of Souther n-gror cotton. Of grain 800,000,000 bushels a. year are produced in the South. The total value of the Agricultural prod ucts of the South last year, was f 2,55.ooo, or more-than the total of the agricultural' output of the whole United States in 1S90. The South has , 62,600-square miles of bituminous coal, and is now mining over 113,000,000 tons a year. ' It dominates the sulphur trade of the world, of which it produces nearly one-half. The marbles, granites, building stcme, and clays of the South are of high grade; phosphate rock is there found n large quan tities, and nowhere else, it is claimed, are located in the same country the foundations of all great manufacturing interestscotton, coal, iron, lumber oil, sulnhur. eyas. etc. The present development is the revival 01 wnat was being done prior to 1860, on a relatively larger scale, which shows, says the Manufacturers' Record; the inborn trait of the Southern people to turn to industrial pursuits. - ' - ' IWENTT-nFIB ISiinAIi CONYEKTIQH Of the Polk County Baptist Spriday School Association, 1 May 28 and 29.
