Mr. Editor: 80 many people ave'tiskul me of late to again ri e up our roads that with your ermission lor space I will write. We must have better roads, ut we want to get them in the indest, easiest, and best way. drst, we must have a supei visor dio wants better roads and is filling to work for this end; econd, the people must be them tjivfs interested in better road* nd willing to co-operate in ringing about better roads; hird, each hand subject to road uty must do his part, and if his is done we will have better oads. We must either work our oads ourselves, or tax ourselves 0 have it done. And right here want to say 1 believe the super7ieor who doesn't want better oads, or is not willing to see hat our roads are properly workd, is bringing a tax 011 the poor teople of the couniy,?a tax hat nobody expects to be less 1 ' ' noii iwo (u>nars a head (and iroperty tax), and may go as iigh as three or five dollars. iJow this might seems a little lard on some poor lellews who iave been working their roads md would rather work than pay, >ut the roads must be worked oid they are going to be worked vhether our supervisor wants it [one or not, and it our supervior don't see that every baud ubject to road duty works his oad, our people are iroingto do-' riand a tax to make them work. We have a number of candilates, some that we know want letter roads and are willing to fork n?r better roads it elected, nd it is to he hoped that oui ieople will make a good choice nd get the best man; for it is ery important that new met lids be introduced and better rork done, as our roads are not i keeping with the progress of ur county. It is just as neoesary for ?<ur supervisor to see hat our roads are worked as it s for our treasurer to see that ur taxes are paid. Some people soem to think hat our people won't work the oads, ami that a supervisor ouldnh have it done if lie wan'-1 d to. but that in a mistake, f we elect an able m in and one! dio i? \s i11iitu to give the roads :s time and do his duty, we; 'ill see tlto roads worked. lie end not be hard on anybody ilher?just toll all that the oada mus' worked and that ho > 'o have it done, and it ny one ttios to be stubborn and ; blliiiiily wants to put the law > test, why of course such a no will havo to take just such j unishment as our law nuts on I them. Nobody of good conn sense will blame a superyi for doing his duty, lie in pai< do this. Every hand in Union coui N. 0. works six days or raor year, and in all my travel through said county ^i>1 whic my church) I have never h< a man grumbling about ha\ to work too much on the ro T .ey claim the second host r< in the South and the hands not hired or paid to work. Rupe' visor up there does his d the overseers do their duty, the hands just naturally fall to Hue and do their duty. Now our people are just pood people as across the lint Union Co; our people can just as good work ; and we have just as good roads?\ not?4We want to get the pe< interested and then we want Lest man poasible for our lea We don't want to pay a lei to sit at home, or to work own crop, and 6ay, I am not to ride over the county and after the roads, or that the pie just won't work, or that just no use to try to get | roads in Lancaster county doll baby would do us jus much good. I wish there were ju9t men running?one that w say, I believe in better roads it elected 1 will do niv duty see that the roads are worl and one that would say, I c believe in working the roa won't make any body wor elected who doesn't want to, all I want is just for my trii to elect me so I can get the ney. Now voter, which w you vote for? Which would serve the money of the of And mind you, 1 am not pic out any two men, or blaming body for running, hut I do 1 each candidate will tell us whore he stands. We want, a strong, couragi man of good judgment, and willing to work in the saddle; it wo get such a one, we will 1 better roads as sure as the doth shine. Mecklenburg, N.
