The People's Journal PICKENS- S. C. PREACIIER ON GOOD ROAI)S Sound Doctrine for Men of Every Class andt( Condition In: Life. .Rev. Victor 1. Masters, a native of Anderson Jounty, delivered an -ad. dress recently before the Beech Island Farmers' Club, which is worthy of ro production in our columns, and is at follows : A review of some of the most saheni points which have been fixed, showing the surpassing importance of road im provement can never be out of place in this country of ours, where we can make no advance in our institutions except as we educate the voters up to seeing the need of such advance. It is not generally known that early in the last century the national gov ernient for quite a period took an in terest in and constructed public high ways. John C. Calhoun was a cham pion for the cause. The most endur i,ig, tangible fruit of the agitation was a splenlidly constructed road from the Atlantic seaboard across the Alle ghamies through Ohio, Indiana ai Illinois, to the Mississippi. This road is still in existence, and has done its shaie as an object lesson in favor of better roads. With the advent of railroads and a contemporaneous financial panic, gov ernmental road improvement |went to the wall, against which it has nestled since, until recently. Vastly import. ant to the country's welfare as is the condition of the public highways, never a word was spoken in a Presi dent's message until soie years ago, Mr. McKinley in four lines called at tention to the fact that the Secretary of Agrinul' "re was co-operating with citizens of the republic in every sec tion, looking to the betterment of the highways. To the efforts of Secretary Wilson to the growing use of the bicycle, and of the automobile, and to a natural, but slow growth of interest on th( part of the general public may be as cribed the present improved itate o: the public mind. U1IEAT COST OF ILAULiNO. There is gradually transpiring a greater intelligence as to the value 01 good roads. Government experimenti show that in the South the average cost of hauling a ton a mile is25 cents that the average length of haul t< market is twelve and one-half miles, therefore it costs the Southern farmet on the average $3.12 to haul a ton of stuit. Not content with this result, I have questioned fat mers who . have tigured out practical y the same cosl per mile. Now, if a farmer haulb twelve tois of stuff to each horse worked on the farm, and runs say a Live horse farm, his hauling for the year will cost lsi , a much larger sun than he is likely to suspect. Government calculations, based on censua reports, reveal." te. ahtoundin fact that the hauling connect,ed witi farming opecrat,ionis costs one-fourth the home value of the produce raiset oni the farm I A N AlPOSTi !tPlI E TO sA N i)Y ROA DS5 The value of goodl roads receivem new light from the statement of au tbenticated tract,ion tests. On asphalt it, takes a force of only seventeer pounads to move a ton; on macada mized, 100 p)ounlds; on hard clay, 112 pounds; on ordlinary dlirt, 224 pounds(l: while on sand it takes '148 pounds 1 01 all p)ossible roads sand roads are th< worst. Not even the morass of rei mud which racks the nerves and killh the stock of the up-country South Car olina wayfarer, for three months inl midwinter, is worse than all-the-year. round Aiken sand I Moreover t,hert is something to stimulate heroism it: tackling an up-country hill, or an up country roadl full of mudlholes. There is an attractive novelt,y in the sheei uncertainty as to whether the next slough of mud' and water -will com. pletely engulf you, and t,here is a stim. ulating uncertainty as to just, how hard it will be to surmount that, thirty live per cent. gradle on the next hill. But t.he dead-level, mountainous, dle bilitating, unrelenting, always hard grindl of a sandl hed is unwholesome t or a man's feelings, killing to his stock andI paralyzing to his purse. A sand bed to me represents despair. It never changes, it is always there. It always demands a tax of four hundred per cent, of surplus energy needed for something else. It is t,he climax of discouragement to a traveler and of p)roltiestroying expenses to a far mner. A J.ONO IIAUL ON hAD ROADS MEANS POvERTY. I said loose sand was the worst pos sible road and offered statist,ics to show that it is four times as hard to dIraw a load over sand as over hard clay. However, there is one thing worse tihan a sand bed, it is a sand hill. FCxperiments show that, it, takes somet,hing more than six times t,he power to draw a load up a five and one-half per cent, grade on any sort of road tihan It takes to draw t,he same load on level roads. Now if it is four times as hard to draw a load on level sandy roads as on level hard clity It wil rtake twenty-.four times the power tondraweahlad up a sand hill of flye take to draw the? se lotad on god level roads. So the elia of trac tion impossiblity is reaced o ,ac-ns h I iIf these figures seem fanciful to you, suppose you refresh yourow memory, which points to their truth, by some experimentation6 A marn who lives In t,he sanrd hills twelve miles fromi the market is practically out of the race with his fellow farmers In trying to put produce on the mar. ket In competition with them. If yai do not believe it look at the run dowmi condition of, for Iistance, certain sec tions of Edgefleld and Aiken counties which are handicapped by a long haul and bad roads to market. CL,AY FOR BAND ROADs. Sand roads are such an incubus in some special attention to their im provement will be fit. The standard local .and also the governmental 0t. perimental treatment of sand roads is simply a layer of clay. Comparatively speaking, sand roads require no dram age, they are constitutionally too dry, if they were damuper they would be better. The only drainage requisite is that there be some ditches so con structed at threatened points that they will take off any deluge of water re sultant on hard rains so that tho bed of the road many not be' washed lown into a great gully, something very easy for a sand road to do. Local road experts tell me it will not cost more than $100 per mile to put a layer of clay seven inches thick across a space eight feet wide on a road. In this community clay can al ways be had within a half mile of the point where it is needed. If good clay roads can be construct ed for $100 or even $250 per mile, it would he a magnificent investment for any community with sand roads. Figures given above show that sand is four times as hard to haul over as good clay. But say it is only twice as hard, over good clay roads twice the load could be carried, so it would take hut half the time and labor at half the expense. If twelve tons are hauled to a one-horse farm at a cost of $2.00 per ton and there are 200 horse farms in a township, it would take $4,800 to do the hauling for that township. On good clay roads it would cost not over $2,400, a saving of $2,400, which would clay 24 miles of road. The above is somewhat theoretical, I grant, but it is based on facts and common sense. Though the figures may not be worth much in an exact computation of cost, they speak loudly in showing the presence of an evil con dition as to rural transportation, a con dition which must be remedied, else our country will fil behind more pro gressive sections which are awakening to the fact that good roads pay. Good roads mean good schools, well attended churches, genial neighbors, intelligent citizens. Good roads mean valuable lands. In no case recorded has the accrument in the value of lands failed to more than cover the cost of road improvement! Good roads mean that the towns will no longer deplete the country of many of its best citizenas; they mean rral free mail delivery. If all other planks were knocked out of the party platform in South Carolina for the next ten years and a good broad plank look ing to road improvement was inserted, it would be better for every community in South Carolina, albeit fewer axes of politicians would be ground and fewer prejudices of voters would be aroused t0 such a pitch as to become "interest ing." CONGRESSIONAl IIUMOR. The Wit of the Great Statesneni Flows Fast un(1 Freely.

"Not so very pleasant," said Mrs. Spoonier. " One of thetn remarked that she could tell that you camne from Wiscons'n because your clot.hes could not have been made anywhere Eas:, of there, and, John" " Yes."

A cluister of his colleagues were discuss ing the -speeches of the previouis day, and finally camie around to praise for the remarks of Delegat,e Smith, of Arizona . " I understand," interposed the Floridian, " that 'in spite of Smith's able.argument in behalf of the bill, lie isn't goiing to vote for it." " Oh, I don't believe that," came a chorus of responses. " Well, I understand it is really .true," reIteriated Mr. Davis. Hugh' Dlsiore, of Arkansas, rose up to protest, but a thought struck him, and be 'only smiled.'
