lan, Tex., Nov. 13.—The second
i convention of the Grayson
Good Roads Association was
Bterday afternoon in the county
am with Judge G. P. Webb In
ir. The court room was com-
filled with members of the
tion and a large number of
irerseers. who had been called
with the association. The
covered nearly three hours
gunnsual degree of interest and
ism was shown. Tha most In-
and exhaustive address of
was made by T. W. Larkln,
of the association and sec-
pt the Denison Poard of Trade,
(larks were confined to an ex-
of the details of the building
Carpenter's Bluff road east of
and an exposition of the the-
nmmunity road building,
adjournment judge Webb
Larkln were re-elected to
fcpectlve offices for the coming
a motion was carried to ap-
1ce president of the organiza-
jlvery voting box in the county,
(invention first listened to an
Iby President Webb. He spoke
>f the work of the association
|the year, which, he said, had
as comprehensive as it should
en, owing to the lack of inter-
file people generally In good
Iding. He explained that the
mentioning the lack of ^Indlvldu^l
interest that is displayed In road
building throughout the county. He
told an incident that he had caused to
transpire sometime since. He went
on a country road and placed in the
mlddte of it a very large rock in order
to see how long it would remain there.
He found that it remained there until
he removed it with his own hands.
Every passer-by considered that it was
not his duty to do anything to improve
the road over which he traveled. The
people have not. discovered, he said,
that the roads are theirs and that they
have an individual interest in them.
To teach the people the truth of this
fact is one of the purposes of the asso-
ciation.
The cost of transportation by wagon
over good roads, he said, is at least
one-third less than it is over bad
roads. He then launched into an ex-
planation of the work done ou the
Carpenter's Bluff road east of Deni-
son. "The work," said Mr. Larkln.
"was simple." A canvass was made
of the farmers living along the road;
they were told .that Denison was wil-
ling to help in improving the road and
thus the co-operation of those along
the road was secured. The idea of
community road building was evolved
and Mr. Larkin went into the various
communities and organized local good
road clubs. The farmers along the
s oftd contributed In labor, counting the
more than anything else was\ to edu-
cate the people and arouse their Inter-
est. Ho said that ho was more Inter-
ested in the road west of Sherman
and that if any sort of a movement,
similar to that inaugurated on the
Dentson road, was started that he
would give a dollar a mile for the first
fifteen miles each year.
Chris Love, a -farnu*v residing on
tho road referred to by Mr. Shrader,
stated that he would also give a dol-
lar a mile per year toward the main-
tenance of the road.
Mr. Fulton, a pioneer citizen, re-
Elding near Van Alstyne, spoke of the
work and the interest of the people
of his community. Though 70 years
old Mr. Fulton is still quite active
and takes great interest In every pro-
gressive movement. He heartily in-
dorses the good roads movement in
Grayson County.
B. R. Long, ex-county 'commissioner,
made a short address and. took the po-
sition that the road overseers are not
successful in road building because
they do not display enough Interest
and because they do not have tools to
work with. When ho closed, Judge
Webb took issue wijh him and said
that he believed that tho only wuy
feasible to make good roads was
through the overseers. They would
take interest. Judge Webb believed,
when the people demanded good roads
and took a hand to seu that they got
work of a man and team at |:i per j good roads.
day, $1,200. Mr. Larkin came to the Sheriff W. 8. Russell was present
Commissioners court and secured the
assistance of that body. Teams and
scrapers with a foreman were sent by
the court when they were needed. In
I)enlson ijmong the citizens and busi
ness men, about $l,00<l*was raised and
a road committee was appointed. The
Board employed an engineer, who fix
ed the.proper grade for the road and
ran the lines for the culverts. The
Board paid skilled laborers to put itji work that the association is undertak
and made a short talk. He said that
he was about to retire to private life
and that he was interested in the good
toads movement and ho pledged his
hearty co-operation and support to
help carry it forward.
Jeff W. Hassell, county judge-elect,
was introduced to the convention. Jn

the stone culverts and they are there
to stay. The farmers came out with
their teams and worked, and now the
road, which was before almost impas-
sable in places, is well drained and as
good and smooth as it Is possible for a
dirt road to be.
Recently the road was divided Into
sections of a mile each and a man was
appointed to use the split-log drag at
proper .times to keep each section In
Shape for a year. Each man Is paid
tlhe nominal sum of $r. for this work
atnd he Is able to secure the co-opera-
tton of his neighbors to help hlrn in
the work.
Mr, Larkin mentioned some of the
benefits that have accrued as the re-
sult of the improvement of the road.
Probably 40 per cent more travel, he
said, came into Denison over the road
than formerly. Merchants who put
their money into the improvement of
the road say that they have been rec-
ompensed twice over. The road has
served to cultivate a closer Interest
between the people of the country and
the people of the city. Last year, he
salid. Oenlson received 10 per cent of
the cotton raised on the stretch of
road; t!|ls year it. received 90 per cent.
Since the road was improved Denison
has received fiO per cent more of tho
the association is to create a products raised bv the farmers along
Interest lri good roads in every
f the countyland that the as-
hotfes In the future to ae-
far more tli<an has been ac-
hed up to this time. He nd-
|the Idea that the people must
[interest. In the roads and look
em as their roads because tha
[commissioners have not the
{inspect every bit of road over
ley have supervision. Each
lionor has charge of roads In
County, which, if put in a
line, would reach from Shfir-
San Angelo. Hence, Judge
lid, that overseers were neces-
that It was necessary for the
take an Interest in the work
aversoers and assist them In
|?ay possible if good roads are
lilt and maintained. In closing
that, the association had great
kat. he was sure would be real-
time If the members would ex-
enerKles to attain the aims of
elation.
irimr Judge Webb Secretary
aade his address. He began
the road than it did before. Finally
Denison has received more business
from the people Jiving along that road
eince* the improvement, than for any
similir period in years.
What Denison has done. Mr. Larkin
said, other cities and towns can do.
The smallest village in the county can
accomplish tho same results. The
hard part about the whole thing Is the
start. He suggested that, the local
unions of the farmers take charge of
the roads of their communities and
let the commissioners court know that
I he union is willing to look after the
road and assist In its improvement.
In closing Mr. Larkin invited each
and every one who cared to see what
had been done at Denison to visit the
city and gave the assurance that any
visitor would1 be repaid by the trip.
Judge Webb then Introduced G. W.
Shrader, a merchant of Sherman, to
the convention. Mr. Shrader spoko
briefly. Ho endorsed good roads and
the pood roads movement and said
that he realized that the one thing
that would forward the movement
