Interest in good roads was growing around the State, he said, noting that Richland County's "clay-sand roads have been pronounced by experts to be the finest of their kind in the country." Still, "it remains for the general assembly to act," and he encouraged participants to debate "the promotion of good country highways from the standpoint of finance and feasibility and, deciding upon the best, take the interests of our people as our watchword and act." [Bulletin 23, p. 57-58]
Schools were first on his list because on them "rests the stability of our institutions." Mail service was second because "it is a great aid to each [schools and good roads] and at the same time dependent upon both":
(In July 1906, the Secretary of Agriculture and Postmaster-General entered into an agreement to facilitate rural free delivery by the improvement of country roads. As explained in the Office of Public Roads' annual report for FY 1906, the agreement "provides that whenever a road upon which a rural route has been or is about to be established is reported by the carrier or inspector to be impassable or in bad repair the Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General will advise the Director of the Office of Public Roads of the fact and request that he have an engineer inspector detailed to examine the road and give such advice and instruction to the local officials as may be required." The inspector would identify defects and advise on their correction-and assume temporary direction of the work in some cases at the county's request for purposes of instruction. "By this means correct methods of road building and road maintenance will be introduced into practically every section of the United States." [p. 22-23])
When he first heard these statements, he said, "they so startled me that I was disposed to regard them more in the nature of guesses or as exaggerations of good roads fanatics and enthusiasts." But he found that the three points were based "upon reliable statistics carefully gathered by competent persons." Martin Dodge, he said, had based his data on requests for information sent to 10,000 farmers. "Why, then, should we not accept the conclusions of the good roads advocates drawn from statistics?"
He said the city folks had good roads because they taxed themselves to pay for them. "The suggestion that you build these [country] roads by taxing yourselves may shock you. It shocked the city people at first. I tell you, you can't have good roads without paying for them." He favored Governor Aycock's plans for the use of convict labor, but stressed: "impose upon yourselves a tax such as you think you can stand." He concluded:
Anto loved girls, loved Manchester United, loved Mars bars, loved Manhattan popcorn and King crisps, loved a trio from the local Chinese takeaway, loved battered burgers and battered sausages, loved to drink bottles of Budweiser, loved to smoke John Player Blues, loved to watch The Sopranos and The Wire, loved Kanye West, loved Ed Sheeran, loved when his da sang Pulp and Blur songs when he was drunk, loved how his ma always made him breakfast when he had a hangover and scolded him for getting too drunk while simultaneously laughing at all the stories he told her of the shenanigans of the night before, loved to watch live premiership football with his older brother Jack, both of them shouting at the television, abusing the referee, mocking the opposition when they missed a sitter, declaring that Klopp\u2019s decision to take off Mane was madness, leaping from their chairs together cheering at last-minute winners, and wonder goals from Ronaldo. Anto loved to watch Harry Potter movies with his two younger sisters, watching their faces bright and enthralled, wide-eyed at the magic of Hollywood special effects and laughing together at the cleverness of Hermione Granger as she figured out a mystery at Hogwarts, loved buzzing with his mates down at the park on sunny days, drinking cans of Dutch Gold, playing football, chatting up girls, blasting out the tunes from an iPhone with a docking station and hissing speakers. Anto loved drinking in the local on Saturday night after a few bets in the bookies earlier in the day, chatterboxing all night with the aul lads, and the young fellas his own age about the football results of the day, who\u2019s gonna win the league, who\u2019s gonna be relegated, who\u2019s the best player in the league, who\u2019s better Messi or Ronaldo, is Conor McGregor the coolest man in the world or just a mad yoke trouble rising dope, loved having a flirt and a dance with the middle-aged women, a few um still looking attractive, and getting more attractive as the pints went down and the hours passed, deep conversations with Tammy Hanlon, who he went out with for four months a few years ago and he was still mad about, he\u2019d try his best to convince her he\u2019d matured a lot since then, that the job he had in Champion Sports was gonna set him up for life, he was gonna move his way up to manger one day, maybe even open a sports shop of his own someday, yeah Anto had that one big dream, the ride-off-into-the-sunset clich\u00E9d one, that most of us have. Anto was singing the night away and wobbling out the door at 1:30 to the fading holler of the barman Big Tim\u2019s voice saying, Come on, time to go home now gents and ladies, have yuh no homes to go to. He just made Freddy\u2019s chipper before it was about to shut for the night, and he got a battered burger and chips with loads of salt \u2019n\u2019 vinegar. Anto Gavin took the brown paper bag with his food in it from Freddy. Cheers Freddy. Thank you, Anto, good night. Night Freddy. Anto almost tripped coming down the step of the chipper\u2019s entrance, he laughed to himself, thinking about how his ma would be giving out to him in the morning for getting pissed but would make him a nice fry-up to sort his head and belly out. Anto opened the bag and inhaled the grease-and- vinegar smell of chips, and grabbed a handful, munching on them and blowing and saying, Hah, roasting, lovely. Anto was twenty-feet away from the chipper and a hundred-feet away from his family home when a man dressed in a black Adidas tracksuit and black runners, the hood from the tracksuit pulled up and a scarf covering his mouth, walked up to Anto. Anto had just taken a bite from his battered burger and was about to swallow it. The man pointed a handgun at Anto, pulled the trigger, and shot Anto in the chest. Anto was flung to the ground, his bag of chips and the battered burger flew into the air and landed beside him, the man walked calmly over to Anto, stood over him, Anto groaned in pain and was confused and terrified, the man aimed and pulled the trigger five more times, Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Blasting Anto in the guts, the arm, the neck, and the face. Freddy ran out from the chipper after he heard the gunshots. Anto\u2019s mother Irene and his father David heard the shots too as they sat drinking a few cans, watching the latest Brad Pitt movie on Sky, they were both startled and their two young girls woke up and ran down the stairs frightened by the noise of gunshots on their road. The man jumped into a waiting blue Nissan and sped off at top speed into the city night. Freddy seen the car leaving and seen Anto\u2019s bloody, blasted body on the ground. Anto Gavin\u2019s dead body lay there covered in blood, half his face was gone, a battered burger with a bite gone out of it beside him and chips scattered around the body. Freddy ran over, What? Why? Who would do this to young Anthony? Freddy took out his phone and called the emergency services. David told Irene to stay with the girls, and he went outside into the front garden and seen a group of people standing around a body and Freddy from the chipper talking loudly into his phone saying a man has been shot, a man has been shot, giving directions to the street, his hand shaking the phone against his ear. David walked calmly to the scene to see if it was someone he knew or if he could help out in any way and saw his son Anthony\u2019s yellow Kangol jacket, his son Anthony\u2019s white and red Nike runners, size nines, his son Anthony\u2019s body full of holes, and blood spilt all over the road. Deco Jordan grabbed David, Don\u2019t look David. Mary Henderson shouted out Oh David it\u2019s your Anthony, why? David said to Deco, Let me go Deco, let me go, and he pushed Deco aside.
