The Tryon Star has also en-
tered its third year. May the
years increase in fatness as they
do in number for Bro. Barger.
There is no doubt but that
majority of our cititens favor
the waterworks. All they ask
is a feasible plan and the surety
that all sections of the town re-
ceive protection.
"You will have no trouble, old
man," said Bert Walker to a
friend the other day, "in observ-
ing that it is not the wrongs of
a down trodden people that keep
reforms alive. It is the great
receipts."
A professional reformer is one
who quits the reform business
when his name is not published
every week. He always de-
mands a conspicuous place and if
it is not given to him he drops that
reform instanter. The profess-
ional demands publicity for him-
self or reform is a failure, so far
as he is concerned.
A Western Kansas paper
states: '"The head of Lincoln
appears on the new silver half
dollar, the bust of Cleveland will
be on the ten-dollar certificates,
and that of Grant on the fifty
dollar one. We'll get a sight of
Lincoln now and then, and oc
casionally may scrape an ac-
quaintance with Cleveland, but
good bye, General Grant, and
God bless you."
The man worth the while is
the man who can smile when
everything goes dead wrong.
What is the use of grumbling?
Itjdoesn't make friends or do
you any good. It makes enemies
if any thing. When a person
tries to do something, he is help-
ed by his fellowmen, but if he
cares not for others, they like-
roads.
A statistician has figured that
bad roads cost us $260,000,000 a
year; that is to say, it would
cost us $260,000,000 a year less
to haul crops to market over
good roads than it now costs.
The waste in a single year
would build 60.000 miles of high-
way costing $6,000 a mile.
A writer in the New York
Evening Post, speaking of other
advantages of good roads Bays:
Bad roads restrict educational
facilities, limit the rural free de-
livery service, and prevent the
proper de velopment of social life
in the country. Good roads per-
mit of grade schools in the
country extend the rural free
delivery services and check the
exodus of youngmenand women
from the farm to the city.
Already, in localities where
roads have been improved, we
see the movement from the city
to the farm.
There was never a time when
the public generally was so much
aroused to the importance of the
subject.
Oklahoma people are keenly
interested in the subject owing
to the fact that the state is just
entering upon rather an am-
bitious scheme of road building:
Every mile built has its jn-
fluence, and as soon as the
people of the whole-country un-
derstand the economic side of
the question there is bound to be
a tremendous impetus given to
the work.
Dozens of states are preparing
plans to build roads or have
started in to build them, from
New York's scheme for the ex-
penditure of $100,000,000 ' down
to Oklahoma's plan to work
state convicts on the public
roads.
The great need of the hour is
education of the public to the
importance of the subject.
Once it understands fully what
our neglect is costing, an era of
