^ """""""""
Ed. Lancaster News: I have
ffP
no good excuse for not writing ?
tii
except that I have been aillicted ^
with what our old friend Henry
Hancock savs is the common
heritage of poor lolks?bad cold, pi
and I certainly liave bean al
8fl
most 9ick enough to be off duty, ,
. . ll
but have not missed a session ol
t V
the House. I was waiting until
I could write something done, llc
but if there is one virtue about ,
Mr
this Legislature it is that it is
?1]
going slow, and I think that onehalf
at least of the hills in oduc
fa
ed will die a natural death, and
ll
that will be bo much better for
tin
the people. The great number
ll
of bills introduced does not mean
fc?
that so many laws are needed,
for we have as many as ten on ^
the same matter and ma7 be
several batches of this kind. A
bill on my desk is marked 1228,
so you may guess this is a good
big batch. The bills that have
caused most trouble are the prohibition,
the lien law, the insurance
bills, bills on education
and the contract labor law. These 0<
have not yet been disposed of Ol
entirely. The prohibition ques- pr
tion is likely to go before the ee:
people in the next primary elec nr
? ? - " A.
tion. The lien law, it is thought, no
will be repealed by both houses, on
Education is receiviug ratber ch
the lion's share. All the col- wi
leges have their usual large ap- fG'
propriations. The high school wj
was provided for in the same ?o
amount appropriated last year, $1
but there has been much talk ur
against the high school law Ui
Yet, the Legislature seems to be re
committed to echools of every
kind. The appropriation bill will in*
be about the same as it was last tie
year. The House would not mat- nn
erially change the salaries of the Tt
, State officers. There is yet some H
hope tor this Legislature. It an
tries to cut expenses sometimes, th
but is it generally the little matters
that they try to cut. We
succeeded in getting that useless w

-rr'T?%,-m.vviw.w. v w<
Veterans' Reunion cut out of the a
appropriation bill, and I th ink pfi
will get the other appropriation m(
for artificial limbs cut off, which
v.e consider robbing the old vet- ^
erans of that much pension, ^
which they need to be added to
1 w I
their regular pension. We have ^
about perfected our road law
and it has giveu us a great deal
of hard work, but we will consa
tinue to work until we have ext
G
hausted all the mental energy
that we have, before we will go
OX
back home without doing any- ^
thing for our roads. We pro .
pose to work the roads of our
county on the contract system,
that is, to divide all the roads ^
of our county into sections run- ^
ning from one to five miles, and]
then letting these sections to re- ^
' *11)
mrlar contractors, to he worked. Jl
We have examined every county ?
road law in the State or in all
the counties where they have
new road laws, and we can find t'1
no better system than we have til
,V adopted. We know that it will ru
I

>t meet the ideas of every
an, but we have a firm convic3U
that if the scheme is pro
>rly carried out we will have
system which will ultimately
ve our people good roads. As
on as it runs its course, we will
nd it to you, that you may
ve it to the people. I want
e young men of our county to
't ready to fdaae contracts and
't busy during *all the spare
no from their larms working
e public roads. I have seen
e Chester delegation about
it tin? a bridge across the Caw-]
ba river at ForCLawn, bu? thev
y just at tliis time they cannot
sip us on account of their coun
expenses being heavy just

The weather is very rough

tess it is very hard with you.

irly well,but Mr. Williams; he
is been confiued I suppose a
