It has been said that there is
nothing permanent about any road
except its location, but this is only
true when maintenance is an after-
thought. It is as unsound to build
a road and let it ravel to pieces as
it is to build a house and let it go
unpainted and uninsured. Paint
the house, insure it, repair it, and it
may stand a hundred years or more.
Maintain the road as it is used, and
it should last indefinitely. Only
such roads should be built with
bond issue money, and only such
roads should be built with money
derived from town or county or
state bonds, as will serve town,
county and state for all time to
others come- To do otherwise is to betray
the trust of the helpless unborn.—

further. He might have shown that

cent lower then than now. Printers
I could he had for fifteen dollars per
week in those days. Day laborers
worked for a dollar a day when they
| could find work. Cotton sold for 7
