Hartley <fc Co, Lexington Depot. * Attend the Convention. To the Editor of the Dispatch: I am not given to much newspaper ! writing, but I notice another call ' from Capt. J. H. Counts for another Road Convention, on the 19th inst. | Now it is a known fact that at the , last Road Convention, we had some good speeches on the subject. Soin6 ' advocating a plaE; some advocating nothing, and we, as citizens of Lex mgton county, took no active part m the discussion or interest in the matter whatever. In my humble judgment this road question is of vast importance to every citizen of the county, and we, as intelligent citizens, property holders and voters, should have and attend a Road Convention of our own, without borrowed help, and discuss the question in a practical and business like manner, for ourselves and see if we can agree upon some practical plan that we can afford, from a proper consideration in a financial sense to adopt and put into effect, or recommend to the next General Asuembly, which might pass some legislation that would be bene- ficial on the road question. This question is due the proper study and consideration of every taxpayer in ' our county and State, as is e^vdent . that we can't build roads by wind work. It takes money and labor, with the proper materia) to build ^ roads. ^ There is another question of vast importance to the taxpayers of the county, which is the proper maintaining or keeping in fix these roads after they are properly repaired. There must be labor put on the roads 1 when fixed to maintain them together with all proper care in the kind of vehicles used, &c., to keep from destroying the work already done. Now, this subject narrows itself down to a matter of taxation which affects every taxpayer in the county, and he must have a right to speak for himself; therefore, he should attend this convention and speak and vote for himself. Taxation to build roads is inviolate. Therefore, we have but the two plans before us by which this can be raised, which must be either by commutation tax or by a direct tax levy on the taxable property of our county, for this purpose, or by both. Now I do no' think a ' Buy " FALL li ffl SPEC I I! v^v^ni The stock is always fresh and every sho< Trade at Cohen's once and you will b< maki Cohen's Sh 1636 MAIN ST..X< "S"OT7I3 commutation tax or an equal poll tax levy on every voter right and proper, as it is right to make the poor laboring man, be he on the farm or working in the mills, or at any other avocation by which he earns his daily bread, and perhaps not owning a horse or mule of value of any kind to pay equally as much as him who owns lands and property of various kinds together with a number of mules, horses and vehicles to travel over and cut up the roade? The burden of taxation which can only be done by head tax on this class of citizens, should fall lightly upon the poor classes, who are not able to pay much, nor have they much need for the roads compared with the bountiful owners of the realty and other property values of the county. Taxation should fall justly upon all according to ability to pay. Therefore this road question demands the attention, study and consideration of every taxpayer, and it stands him in band to attend the Road Convention and look after his nterest. Every voter and taxpayer should represent bis own inteieet. Eowever weahould have better roads, is they are an index to the prosperity Dt any country. I think it would be a good plan to bave a State Good Roads Convener! oondinor dfilficrftfps from fiflfih ^ o 2ounty, by which we can awaken a better interest in this matter and bave a more concert of action on the mbject, which might be put with more force and better effect, should we desire legislation on the subject. Lets attend the Boad Convention and exchange ideas and do something along this line, or shut up and "drag along in the old ruts." We want practical results for Lexington county now. D. M. Crosson.
