T ransportation
In discussing the cost of transpor-
tation the Texas Commercial Secre-
taries’ Association savs that, as a
rule, the producer pays the freight to
the factory or market and the con-
sumer pays the freight from the fac-
tory to the point of consumption.
Texas has comparatively few factories,
and the cost of transportation is.
therefore, of paramount importance in
fixing the value of our article? of pro-
duction and consumption. We have
four methods of transportation, viz.:
Public Highways, Railroads, Water-
ways and Fire Lines.
Public Highway*.
We have 121,fOC nvles of public
highways in Texas with only 2,000
miles classed as improved public
roads. The average cost of hauling
freight over the public highways of
Texas is 43 cents per ton per milt.

Board Meeting.
The second quarterly Board
Meeting of the Freestone Coun-
ty Baptist Association met with
Antioch Church, May 27, 1910.
There was not a full attend-
ance of the Board present, ow-
ing to the very busy times with
the farming class since the re
cent rains, otherwise the attend-
ance was good. The song ser-
vice was excellent, being led by
to come together in unity. The
ladies served dinner two days
from baskets.
Z. T. Womack, Clerk.
and
/'The average cost of hauling freight
over the public roads of the United
States is 23 cents per ton per mile. At
a producer the farmer gets the same
price for his products whether hauled
over good roads or bad roads, and
as a consumer the farmer pays the
same price for merchandise whether
he hauls it over good roads or bad
roads. The farmer receives the bene-
fits of good ro.ads, but pays the penalty
of bad roads.
The Texas farmer in 1908 raised
8,000,000 tons of products. It cost ap-
proximately $17,000,000 to haul these
products to town. By improving our
public highways to the government
average we can reduce the cost of
transportation one-half and save
$8,000,000 per annum.

Miss Neely Howell of Donie
was present with a colportage
library and offered to give all
profits on books sold to Associa-
tional Missions. The introduc-
tory sermon was preached by
Rev. J. H. White of Dew. - Bro.
E. J. Brown, Mod., appointed
the following brethren a com-
mitteee on divine services: J.
A. Chavers, R. R. Childs, J. W.
Richardson, who reported that
Bro. G. W. White would preach
at 11 a. Saturday. At 2 p. m.,
Saturday, the Board was called
to order by the, Moderator, and ]
after some discussion of the sit-
uation '.he following resolution
was offered: Resolved, that it
is the sentiment of the Board
that the pastors of the churches
in the Association take up the
mission work, trusting the
churches to sustain them.
As we have no other offers for
missionary work in the Associa-
tion, a sentiment prevailed that
the Moderator call an extra ses-
sion of the Board to meet at
Fairfield on Thursday, June 16,
