All Interest Died Out Good Roads Movement in Mississippi
Jackson Mississippi July 29 Special The good roads movement in Mississippi appears dead despite earlier interest at a state convention.

The movement seems moribund with only a faint revival suggested by boards of supervisors discussions unlikely to gain traction.
