GOOD ROADS CRUSADING ENTHUSIASTICALLY. {By Frank Weldon.) The State-Wide Good Roads cam- paign inaugurated by The Constitu- tion and two score of its contempo- raries has made a tremendous hit all over Georgia. Everybody realizes action and results; to road construction ing impulse to the the entire state. The counties which have taken the lead in road improvement welcome the movement just as heartily as do back: it means impetus quicken: of that a great and a development those counties which have been ward. Then, the auto tour state next fall appeals powerfully mot both as a sporting event and because the endurance focus public attention on _the subject of highway improvement.

VALUE OF WAYS. jood roads are double acting- they make money for the farmer and | with the money he buys an automo- | bile with which to enjoy these good | roads. Good roads mean automobiles | for farmers; the automobile is help- | ing to keep the farmer's boy at home, | so good roads help keep the family | eircle intact. A good road may not cause two bushels of corn to grow where one grew before, but it will permit the marketing of several at the former expense of one.-—Louls ville Courier-Journal. smooth, resilient grade is sandy, mt per cent ‘he problem is how got will stand the least money of sand-clay road counties prove strips flaa counties build cellent DOUBLE GOOD HIGH WASTE FROM BAD ROADS Hundreds of millions of dollars are wasted In this country every year because of bad roads. A roadway deep in sand or heavy with mud means small loadd and Jong time spent in trips over it. A good road way, sclentifically constructed and well maintained, means big loads and quick trips. That lowers the rate and increases the net value of all his products to the farmer.—Minne- apolis Journal. A TEST OF PROGRESS. The great question is, How long mill the people be content to pay tremendously for poor roads when good roads can be had for less money? Upon the answer will de pend in a large measure the rapid {ty with which Alabama is to de velop In the next few years and the extent to which her people will pros per.—Birmingham News. AMERICA A BAD BECOND, More money was spent in road im- provement and construction in the United States in 1900 than in any previous year, but the country is still playing a bad second" fiddle to Europe in this respect and making less prog. ress than is warranted and should be expected after the campaign of good roads education which has been car ried on in the last dozen years--St, Paul Ploteer-Press.
