ireem ployed several years ir. succ?s

On to Plum Brancn
Supervisor lias had the chain
.rai.tr doing some excellent work on
tba Martin Town road. The force
is now about Double Branches and
will continue to up the road as far
aa Gilgal, then they will move lock,
stock and barrel over to Plum
Branch anti work down to Liberty
Hill. Mr. Edmunds expects t<>
reach Plum Branch in about a week.
Owing to the limited number ol'
convicts, the work of improving
the roads must of necessity progress
slowly, and yet where they do work
it is thoroughly done.
Should Not Monopolize
Automobile owners and drivets
are asking whether or not carriers
of the Uuited States mail have a
right to monopolize the public road.
It matters not what their legal
rights are, mail carriers, like ail
other good citizens, should be will
ing to share the public roads with
other travelers. Even if a servant
of the national government did have
the legal right to hold the center of
a public highway (which right The
Advertiser does not concede) a man
who posses-es a magnanimous
spirit would not claim that right to
toe embarrassment and inconveni
euee of his fellowman.

Ford Automobiles
Qi Detroit, Mich.-A Ford touring car, dust
^(covered and with motor huming sturdily, recently]
(drew up to the big Admisistration building at De
roit. Bright penants, inscribed with the names of?
cit. ?sited enroute gave a holiday dress to the ma-j
SSJchine, and marked the itinerary of a long journey-?
each one a service chevron. j
The car contained R. W. Gray, his wife and(
two children, of El Centro, California, Detroit was
the half-way point in a round trip of 5300 milesJ
lEighteen days was the actual running time for the
first half of the journey.
"The onlA* difficulty which we had enroute,
said Mr. Gray, was in being hauled across rivers
where bridges had been washed away. We were
obliged to lay over in Roswell, New Mexico, and
Plainview, Texas, on account of the rain. At
South Canadian, Okla, where a bridge had disappear,
led, we loaded the car on a wagon and had it hauled
lacross the river by four mules. Near Brawley, Cal.
?is the big sand stretch known as the M arnot h Wash.
This is a bad spot for automobiles and most cars!
require assistance to get through-in fact, one indi
vidual makes a business and an excellent revenue
hauling cars across this seretch. This "helping^
hand" followed us with proffers of aid and premoni
?tions of disaster, but the little Ford palled throughjSH
^without a halt."
?^j The party carried a complete camping outfit.j^j'.
land at the close of each dav's run. the tent was un-w~rc
^strapped from its 'carrying place at the back of the?
kaj&cir, the stove unslung from the running board, andfS
fSjthe meal was soon cooking merrily. Good caTiipingj|$
^places were numerous, and but very few nights were-jgjj
j$?dspent under the cover of a conventional roof. .
SSs The party did not attempt to break anyS^S
ISjrecord.s, and ali expressed themselves as delightedjSjjjj
iSSwith the trip, and arc looking forward with much2g?
^pleasure at the return journey. l/g
Sgj The Ford touring car used has been run abouts**
