LeVUa Have? Good Roads.
Editor TkiuyNn: Tlierc have
been some" arguments' in your
columns of ,lafe, between Sub-
scriber and Reader, on the road
question. I am glad to note that
some interest (although belated)
is being taken in the improvement
of our public highways. What
both say in regard to the method
of working, ditching, and grading
the roads is all that could be done
under present conditions. Undtr
present laws I agree with Reader
that where practical, special Jocal
taxes should be levied for road
improvement, to be wisely and
economically expended. But I
'strongly believeNthat laws should
be enacted providing for the
working of short Jcrm convicts on
the public roads, tor this reason:
Those subject to penal servitude
arc largply leased out to railroads
and other corporations at a low
price, thereby stifling competition
and driving Iree labor from the
field. The State forces may be
supplemented bv those responsible
'to the countv for his conduot. If
this number proved insufficient
then free labor could do the job,
they to be paid by the districts or
countips reauiring the most work
done. I am opposed to any in
crease in the time of thofe sub
ject to road duty. I would de-
crease or wipe it out as above ex-
Lplafned. You have no moral
right to take the farmer from his
plow and put him to work on the
public road, than you'have to go
in town and compel the banker
or merchant to close up shop and
shoulder a hoe .and go to the
road. Yet the." 'roads are more to
their advancement than to the in
.dividual farmer. The intelligent
and up-to-date farmer can no
more afford to neglect his business
than can the above named gentle-
men. He has important duties at
all times, wet or dry. .
One more and the most impor-
tant question and I will close. I
can' conceive of no greater nui
sance than the narrow-tired mud-
splitting wagon wheels now in
use. It is a traves.try against
common sense and public justice
that such abominable things
should be in use, and more, a
sharrie on American manhood atd
dignity, that should be legislated
out of existence. You may dig,
sdrapc, and drain until your joints
squeak with rheumatic pain, and
you will not have permanent good
roads with such things we have
paid the penalty in time, labor,
taxes, and wornout teams, tenfold.
In France and other European
countries 'wide-tired wheels are
Universally used. In those coun-
tries the ror-ds are so good that
autimobiles make 50 to 60 miles
Tin hour, while on our roads that
rate would telescope the machine
in less than 100 yards; Broad-
tired wheels should be not less
thin five or six inches, and they
may b'e constructed so as to be as
light and durable as the present
wheels. They would pay for them
selves in two-or three years in the
way of labor and taxes, and good
roa'ds and less expense and labor
the result. The only objection I
lenow of to such wheels ia that -of
rocks'-nnd other obstacles in the
road, but there arc ample provis-
ipns in the law as regards such
obstructions'and requires their re-
moval. Now, if you want good
roads at cheap cost, then let's
climb on the band wagon ,'(With
broad tires) in the march of prog-
ress and get this one improve-
ment. Your Correspondent,

Now that the' well id gushing
tho Tribuno vould' with single-
ness of heart renew; its plea for a
good nine nianlliB free scIioqI.

Jack Jordan, an old time prin-
ter friend of the editor, and who
worked on the paper some ten or
twelve years ago, was in the Tri-
bune office a few days since, and
expressed much surprise at the
improvement in tho Tribune's
mechanical facilities as well as
the growth and many improve-
ments of the town. IHis reminis-
cences were both interesting and
ludicrous. He said upon entering
the then Tribuno office ho saw a
'tall old gentleman grinding away
at an Army press, valued at a-
bout S25, while a lad on the op-
posite side wielded a hand roller,
while a single homemade stand
stood hard by. Asking for work
ho was informed that as soon as
the paper was off1 he could distri-
bute some type for his breakfast.
Soon the edition was off, the
printer offered to take off the
forms but no stone appeared and
he was instructed to distribute
direct from the press, also in-
formed that the type was mixed
and only three or four lines could
be lifted at a time and to bo very
careful. As there appeared to bo
only about two columns in tho
paperthe was soon through and
regaled with a hearty mea'. Ho
said that he hoped tho old man's
efforts would be properly appre-
ciated, but on tho face of things
it lqoked very much like the office
was on the "bum" and its pro-
prietor on the high road to the
poor house. He seemed delight-
ed to know that the strenuous ef-
forts of the thea proprietor met
with abundant 'reward .and that
he not only enlarged and improv-
ed his plant to its present pro-
portions, but was enabled to in-
vest in some valuable realty and
that the town for which he labor-
ed so unselfishly had grown to be
an Embryo city a mercantile
center,, a widely known cotton
market, and atown the liberality
of whoso citizens had made it fa-
mous. M-J-H-l-J-H-i-H-K-H-I-f-W-H-H-'.-

Speaks to the Deaf and Dumb.
Austin Tribuno, March &0:
Hon. Huling P. Robertson of
Bell county, enjoyed one of the
most peculiar experiences yester-
day morning of his long and
honorable career when he was
called upon to address between
400 and 500 pupils of the State
Deaf and Dumb Asylum. Tho
pupils had been doing the capital
building in charge of Professor
Williams. When they had finish-
sightseeing they all filed into the
gallery of Represenativo hall.
Mr. Robertson and Speakor Neff
happened to be in ihe hall at the
time. Mr. Williams asked one of
them to make a speech. Mr. Neff
Wrned the task over to Mr. Rob-
ertson. The latter mounted the
rostrum, followed by Mr. Neff
and Mr. Williams. Tho children
were arranged around the center
of tho gallory and one particular-
ly apt pupil was stationod in the
center of tho circle. As Mr,
Robertson delivered his address
of welcome Mr. Williams trans-
lated it to the boy in the gallery,
and he in turn translated it to his
follow pupils. Every point in
reference to the bo'ys was' given
rounds of applause. At the close
of ifle address all tho boys filed
out into tho chamber and shook
hands with Messrs Robertson and
Neff.
Granger is delighted at having
a big place scooped out for a lake
when it rains enough to filb it.
The thought is pretty, butjt may
not rain sufficiently to"fiU that
dry lake for tho next five ears.
If you will run a pipo i' .e to
Bartlett vou may have 'the vvator
from our artesian we 11, oi if that
is too expensive, we have a good
mail who has the rapUtati on of
putting up successful pray ers for
rain. Ho would doubth como
down for considera bly let.- than
a pipe lino would cost. Be of
cood heart little sister, we will
try to devise some way Untor than J
