(iood Roads Talk.
Another Strong Article by
Purveyor Belk on the All- 1
Important Subject of Lan- J
caster's Public Highways, j
i
Mr. E litor : In mtiMotf my <
report ?? the National (inv< rn- (
mnut .*iu county servevor I had (
to report trot a mile of improvid t
roads in the county ; and in answer
to the question how many t
(lavs the roads are worked mi'iii- ^
ally, I had 5o say, with the grand ^
jury, less than one day. Now j
isn't that an awfully sorry report j
for our county? 1 for one am j
ashamed of it. and hope the re (!
cord for bad roads in Lancaster
county has been broken?yes, |
. broken never to be winked at r
again. j
When the government author- j
itie* at Washinglon expect a f
surveyor to be posted and report
the condition of the public roads j
of his county, I think the peo- r
pie at- home should but, expect a ^
surveyor to he interested and
outspoken on the road question. c
And as a citizen and a fellow i
countryman, having been raised ?
on the farm, I am especially in t
terested in country life and wou'd r
like to help our county. (l
I love the countrv and her n
people. 1 want to see the country t
prosperous. I want to see better t
churches and better schools. 1 v
want to see better farming and r
our people taking more interest
in saving their lands; and when $
the crops are m ide and gathered {
I want^our people to have decent v
roads on which to haul their j s
crops to market. ;
We can't claim the first place
in civilization if we don't educate ';
our children and build good!.,
roads, and we want the world tot
call us highly civilized c

he reasonably can to educate \
his children?to develop all tli?tj(1
is best in tliem-I say lie is not j
a good father; and the citizen |.
who does not do all he reason j
ably can for oduea;ion and the L
betterment of his country, he i ,
i
not a good citizen. I I
I'M in a'? our children and then \
we will have good roads: but we 1
nee 1 good reads now. Meck!en-'i
burg county, N. (3., a tew mil 'sir
nomh of h?-re, ho<s's oi the best t
roads in the South, and Union I
county lias good roads, too; and j
we find souk* of the counties of i
our own state doing fine road i
work?and why not Lancaster? |i
Our laws, we are tohl, arc all It
right; the supervisor has tin*''
power ami 'lie law to hav<- limit
road worko I; and the <>v T "r
have the power to work the
hands, hot not over eiulit davs. j]
Now I know some people sa\ |
tliat it the supervisor were t<> )
have the roads worked that there
is aeiasH ot' people that wouldn't !
vote for him; hut 1 think I ;im
safe in saving that ail the he-t
people of 001 county want e odj'
roads; ivnd I think I am eorree'r
in saying thai' yo?d roads will
help every chf-s of otir p-ople,
though some may not thinK sit. i1
Hut our roads should he more
important than a lew votes, ami
the candidate who is not willing)'
to do his duty for fear of losing
a few votes, he certainly does not 1
deserve the olfice : and surely the

We are glad to see articles on
better roads from "L N. M "and
itliers and hope to see more.
Plie time for candidates is about
tiere and we want, to stir them

erested in Retier Roads
We hope every candidate lor
his olliec-this important oflice[he
he an oul one or a new one),
viM he willing to pledge our
joople good roads?to pbdge our
>eople that he will carry out the
av\; and we hope the man who is
ilected next time will give us an
irticlo once in a while on how to
mild good roads and the latest,
tnd best ways of working same;
tnd we hope he will have the
nterest, the will, the courage
ind grit in his craw to go around
md see that our bridges art
noperly built and that oui
oads are lawfully worked in the
rery best possible way.
The ilHce pays 800 to 900
lollars a year, which is lar more
han a daily mail carrier gets
itid is enough to juslily a ^ood
>usioes8 man all his time, or so
nuch as is necessary. When the
dlice paid but 300 to 400 dollars
l year, there was a cry for beter
roads and our people were
old that the supervisor's salary
vas loo small for him to jiive the
oads his attention.
The salary has been raised to
i800 for his work, and $100 for
ravel, I am told, but what have
ve pot? The suneivisor ^ets the
alary and we ^et the mud and
oils.
Let us ask the next man who
s elected to give lis tatter roads,
nd it we don't get better roads,
lien let us ask that $400 or $500
if this extra salary he cut off;
or we believe $.'1(10 to $500 a
'oar is enouvh lor the ollico if
nir roads are not looked alter.
There are some wiio think our
leople j?Ht won't worK the roads,
>ut I want to say this is a mis-1
ake; I have traveled all over tlie
lounty and 1 have made it a
joint t i ihk the over-eers it they
