No! Dixie ICoiMls ol? Voro.
Now Vor? dispatch to Tlmos-Dom
ocrat ways: Measured hy th<? space
of only two years. a revolu
tion, or rather an evolution, of road
Conditions In the South has occurred.
The good highways of that scctlo?: oi
land on a basis of two years ago must
be multiplied by ton to roach the llg
uras anything like the recent status.
The whole evolutionary movement is
based upon the constantly growing
use of the automobile In fact, the
South has adopted the motor ear as its
own and the VOgUO of the automobile
has swept through Dixie like a prairie
Ore.
For Instance, at Jackson, Tonn., a
town of about 20,000, there are four
teen of the linost stone roads in this
country, most of them of considerable
length. Home. On., Is the center of a
splendid lino of improved roads, and
co Insistent arc the residents of this
country that these roads shall be con
tinued, that they recently formed a
delegation to wait upon the citizens
and odlcials of ii procrastinating
neighboring county to protest against
their neglect lo improve the high
ways.
Fp in lh" famous blue mass coun
try, .[found Davidson county, Tonn.,
the roads look like aspalt pavement
newly laid. At tills time in Drowns
vllle, Tonn., from all over the State,
are gathcrod delogntcs for the pur
pose of providing ways and means for
the pushing of this good road wove
men; as it never before has been forc
ed.
One Important phase of the South
ern road situation, a phase which
makes the upkeep n minor problem
comparatively cheap, is the use ol
Convict labor. In most of the Slates,
convicts are kepi constantly on the
road in repair gangs, anil this nat
urally tends to keep the roads In lino
condi'ion. A vigorous light Is being
made throughout the South against
the non-progresslvo land owners who
are balking at the improvement of the
loads because of the Immediate ex
pense.
Tin automobile has done this ser
vice for the South in the matter ol
road Improvement. Whore formerly
one . ? two bales of cotton formed a
hi;; I >ud for wagons, now live or six
bah s li e easllj handled over the good
roads. Not only that, but tin- truck
is ii: ddly coming to he an Integral
part of the commercial life of this
country and the day when the entire
farm product shall lie handled by this
nu-ans is not far distant. With the Ill
creasing popularity of the cars them
SOlVi s it was only natural that the
manufacturing phase of the situation
should rocelve considerable attention.
Eight Southern concerns have been
formed to produce cars, of which live
are actually turning out complete ma
chines.

Kahle ol* the Four .Men.
"I got off a street ear this morning.'
said a doctor to me, "and, being in no
hurry, | began moralizing on the ac
tions ami probable character of three
men who hud alighted just ahead ol
me. The first one was even then hall
way down the block and was going
on with such rapid strides that ho
had already put a couple of hundred
yards between himself and the next
man. ?There.' thought I. 'noes a hust
ler a man who's hound to succeed in
life' The second man was walking
slower, and Impressed tue as one who
would go fairly well, perhaps, in this
world. Hut the last fellow was just
dwaddllng along in the most shiftless
sort of way. I very quickly set him
down as a loafer.
".I.i.-t then another Idea came home
to mo. AH three were ahead of MR.'

Nothing More Conducive,
Says the Qaffnoy Lodger: The pros
perity of our country depends, so
largely upon the prosperity of
our farmers, that everything possi
ble should ho done to render life In
the rural districts ngreonblo as well
as profitable, and nothing could con
duce more to the comfort and happi
ness of our people than the improve
ment of roads.

Hood Roads.
Perhaps the most Important econo
mic phase of the automobile is its in
fluence for good roads. The au'o.
mobillst demands good roads, and
bends all his energies toward getting
them. The man who buys an auto for
the first time in his life perhaps be
gins to take an Interest In this sub
ject. The results in other States have
been remarkable, and it is bed loved
the same results will he obtained hero
as the number of machines Increase.
The good roads of course are valua
ble not only to the autolsts. but to the
farmers, and to the communities in
general. Good roads develop trade,
Improve farms, extend suburbs, In
crease truck farming and poultry
farming, in n marvellous manner.
