Thirty-two" ptoblic hignyaysjwltli
an aggregate of 108 miles we're
selected Monday by the "Marlon
county court in response to a re
quest from the state higrhway com
mission, bringing the total of Im
proved county roads .to 258
miles at the end of a fire-year
period. The old system of 34
roada amounted to'JL6 jnailes, Jthe
program being completed lastfalL
The new roads were selected
from "all parts ot tbe county, the
court endeavoring to connectwItb
main roads In, ad Joining counties
wherever possible and Vi connect
sections of the county that were
not directly ieryeoV by tVeflrst
system. Some of the proposed
work In the toext five years will
be paved, but a majority will be
well drained, 1 graded and macad
amized. Roads selected as market
roads by the. 1919 bond issue hare
been included J in ' Ine system in
order that the work of the system
may be completed and-the finish
ed parts properly, maintained., '
" An inspection of the connty map
shows that the net work -of rbai
serving communities and districts
of the county to have been im
partially selected, with the plan
for the entire system kept in mind.
" Members of the county court
have given jmn'ch' thought and
spent considerable time examining
the county td determine the best
course to, follow. Many ' delega
tions have been heard and, many
petitions received. The court
takes the viewv that at this time
it Is -not advisable to select too
many roads In order that, all could
be improved f within a reasonable
length of time. ... .. . . 4
.The roads selected are tentative,
and; will be referred to the. statt
highway commission-for final ap
proval. The commission will maki
investigations before recommend
ing that any work " be started
Prior to actual construction or Im
provement of the , new market
roads, complete data on 'grades',
alignment, round curve and
widths, -will becetapned- - "
With the completion of the pres
ent five-year 'program,' the county
court expects to have the best mar
ket road system on the coast. ;,Te
same economies will be followed
in the future as have been, ob
served in the past, and! the stan
dard of highway construction will
be maintained. The, results, ob
tained In the preceeding five years
hare been highly praised,' both for
the type of work and for the gen
eral low expense. The county pur
chased and operated Its' own rock
crushers and paving plants to
great j advantage. The cost of
these has more than been saved,
and. the equipment is available for
the , second portion of the pro
gram.1 '
In many districts strong peti
tions: were presented and Targe
delegations appeared. 'Almost all
the roads so requested have been
selected, - and while the court
would bave liked to approve all of
the roads asked, a too-long pro
gram would have proven Unsatis
factory." 'In only a few cases was
it found necessary, to 'decide con
tests -rising when .several roads
were asked in one locality.

ignated as market - roads are as

Goat raising is an industry
which has been materially bene
fited by the - automobile. These
goats are -thgoras, the elite of the
specie, and their hair is. used' in
making the mohair plush used to
upholster Oldsmoblle sedans, and
in fact, practically all ef the bet
ter class .crosed cars.
I For years . the '. cutivatlon of
Angora goats' was limited to Asia
Minor where strict laws prevented
their exportation. It is less than
30 years - ago t that they were
brought to this country,, and to
day there are thousands-of herds
grazing in north and south west

Angora goat I hair or mohair and
sheep wool is that the latter has
a kinky appearance a hid Jts outer
surface is covered with barbs and
