LaCoste Evans, of Cheraw is
the most enthusiastic good roads
man in the world, we believe.
1 1 - ? til i ' ?
i uc uonus win increase ine
tax; 46 cents on the hundred dollars,
but the money will be spent
right here at home and we will
have it ready to pay the tax, and
will also have better roads.
A large tax payer should ap j
preciate his success enough to
vote for bonds to build a road
for humanity to pass over in
ease, especially when he will be
richly repaid in dollars and cents. ]
The small tax payer should vote
for bonds because he gets more
than he pays for.
Read the schedule of good
roads speaking in this issue and
get ready to attend at least one s
oi me meetings. It you are for 1
bond issue you shonld go and .
- . enjoy the hour. If you are j
against the bonds go and ask for
an opportunity to put your ideas
before the audience.
Under the bond issue plan we
will have good roads and the 1
man who owns the property, <
including the big farmers, banks, $
corporations, etc, will pay the j
f bill. Otherwise legislation in all <
probability will be passed before (
a gieat while increasing the
commutation tax from two dol ,
lars to possibly live. Who then
will pay? I
Next Tuesday is the poor man ,
and small property owner's
chance to make the big property r
' system of good roads throughout ^
the county. How will you ,
vote? . N j

Monroe Enquirer J
Mr. Jacob Brown, a harness
maker in Warlick's shop here, i
was on the Confederate battle- (
ship, Merrimac,. in the engage- i
ment between that vessel and j
the Federal battleship, Monitor,
in Hampton Roads March 8 and
9, 1862 Mr. Brown says that he
was -at a gun throughout the en- ,
gagement between the ironclads, j
the first of their kind in the ,
world's history, and that he
sponged out the cannon after
every fire and took part in blow- *
ing up the Merrimac when she ''
stuck fast in the Richmond 3
channel when an attempt was
made to make a run to Rich- 5
mond, the capital of the Con- i
federacy. Mr. Brown savs that r
rather than let the enemy capture
their vessel they put a fuse \
to the magazine, touched it off, t
let down the small boats, put off I
and from a good safe distance f
saw the first ironclad vessel t
blown up. Mr. Brown is a native
of Salisbury, [t

The last five weeks have seen I
laval activity of only minor im- 1

A new feature of the renewed
ighting is the participation of 1
and forces. British troops have j

French soldiers are believed to i
