Fixing Another Election.
Friday night the Commercial
Club held a very important good
roads meeting looking to reform-
ing and taking the vote over in
the district in which the tax a
few days ago failed of a two-
thirds vote. Another meeting is
to be held to the same end Mon-
day night when it is believed the
full details will be worked out
and another election asked for. —
Cuero Star.
The above refers to the road
district between Cuero and Thom-
aston. The pluck displayed by
the Cuero. Commercial Club in
this matter is commendable. The
question is one of more than lo-
cal interest to the people of Cue-
^o. It is a matter of importance
and interest to the people of a
large territory. The thing some
voters seem to lose sight of is the
fact that one little piece of good
road in itself does not amount to
much, but where a number of ad-
joining road districts build con-
tinuous and contiguous good
roads every t>ne of: the districts
get the combined benefit of such
road construction. With the
construction of a good road, from
a point half way between Yoak-
um and Shiner, extending from
Yoakum by way of Concrete to
Cuero, and then another link
from Cuero to Thomaston, all of
the auto travel from points north
of Yoakum to the coast would
come by way of Yoakum, Cuero,
Victoria and on down to the
sounding sea. At this time a
movement is on foot to extend
this line of good roads from the
half way point between Yoakum
to Shiner on to that splendid lit-
tle Lavaca county town. As the
years speed by travel by auto
will increase at a rapid rate and
the towns with good roads and
good hotel and restaurant and
garage and store facilities will
get the autoists. Then, too, our
people are coming to understand
that it is not necessary to go to
other states for health and rec-
reation; that no where in the
wide world can better bathing
beaches, better fishing, better
- -
hotel facilities be found than
right here along the coast of
Texas, where the climatic condi-
tions are more charming than
anywhere in the South. Let the
Cuero Commercial Club stay on
the job and weld that other nec-
essary link in a great driveway
from Central Texas to the coast.
In time it will extend to North
Texas and connect us with the
Colorado to the gulf highway.
On with the goo$ work!- Yoak-
um Times.
The above shows one of the
the beneficial results of good
roads, i. e., increased business
for the towns along the route
which have good roads in and
out, since travelers from place to
place of necessity must purchase
some supplies en route, and also
thiB transient trade often results
in some who pass through a town
becoming impressed with its ad-
vantages, then move to the town
to permanently reside. With the
roads tributary to Hallettsville
placed in proper condition the
routing of this trade from towns

and cities north of here could be
placed through Hallettsville, or
at least we could secure a good
share of this travel, since our
city is in direct line with many
places north and east. • Much
traffice and travel routed through
Schulenburg, Flatonia, Moulton,
Weimar and other places would
come to our city, as this would
be the shortest route for connec-
tion with Yoakum south and
west, thence to coast points, and
should the reads southeast of here
be placed in good condition a
great deal of travel Would route
that way and much trade from
that section come here which
now goes elsewhere. A route of
good roads from town to town,
of this and adjoining counties,
would revert beneficially to all
plaees along the route and prove
of untold value to the general
public.
Commissioners Make Inquiry of
State Regarding- Detention
of Sentenced Prisoners.
A rathe* peculiar and seeming-
ly inexcusable state of affairs in
the penitentiary system must ex-
ist when it becomes necessary
for a county to detain and keep
sentenced prisoners in jail three
months or longer, yet this is the
case at present as far as Lavaca
county is concerned, and per-
'haps in other counties of the
State. On account of this delay
on the part of the State prison
officials, and in an etfort to have
the matter receive attention, the
commissioners court of Lavaca
county, while in special session
the past week, passed the fol-
lowing order:
“Ordered by the court that
the county attorney be dnd is
hereby requested to communi-
cate with the authorities of the
State government in order to as-
certain why the three prisoners
sentenced to the penitentiary at
the March term of district court
have not been transported and
what recourse, if any, the coun-
ty has for re-ftnbursement of
amounts paid out for their board
since that time."
