ROAD LAW SUGGESTED. r
' i
Require Every Landowner to Work 'I
Road Touching His Premises. t
I
To (lie Editor of The Herald and I
News:
I am nut accustomed to writing t
for public print Init I see so much in a
your paper of late, written on the 1
subject of good roads that it makes f
me feel like saying something about e
if too.
Some ot the writers condemn our 11
representatives, supervisor and
overseers for not enacting better laws <
ami keeping the public, highways in ti
better condition. Well, I don't ecu- "
sure the legislators, supervisor or v
overseers, nor those who write so '{
much about good and hiul roads for I
I hey have :is much right to their
opinions :?s I have to mine. 1 will
SJ,\ thai I think I know ;ill about ^
I lie rojid law in this county, New- )|
berry, for lifty-livc years. I think I |
have ;i right lo know for I coin- (
nienced rojitl duly ill eighteen and did |rond
duty until :t few years years ago |
when I lie law said I was too old and ,\
I old 11 ic to <|uit. Not that I did work
with the pick and shovel. When I |
did not pay my commulalion lax, I j
was generally appointed an overseers
or one of those weak kneed v
-uhs. as some one had the brass to ,,
.all us.
I1
I did my duty as over.-ccr strictly o
aecordiug to the law, and as for sub je
commissioner I had no power onlv s
such orders as 11m commissioner* *n
gave me, I hose orders I nave prompt- e
ly to the overseers and I did not get v
!' cent of pay. lint I got plenty of e
dirty curses behind my back', while j n
the commissioners did all the (dean j v
work and not all the clean pay. |e
I nere i-> as good road law now a* I ''
M has been, as I said, in the last | '
tifty-livc years. The faefof it is there i 1
are more public roads than there arc. I
people in I lie hounds of the road law s
to work them as they should he work- '
" d. I used to oversee a section of s
road trom tirev's creek, to Capa- '
inou s Mill. All I lie hands in thisfs
!leihhoi'hood worked on that section I
ot road. Tli.'it was forty years ago. Jn
I here was not a single public road j :|
between that old Columbia road and ^
the old road leading past Prosperity. '
Now between those two roads, coin- "
menciug at Mr. S. I'. (Vol well's and '
ending at I'omaria, there are ten pub- '
lie roads vvliirh have been laid olT ~
ami declared public in the last forty "
or torly-one years. 'I liese ten pub- ?
lie roads if measured would he at
least sev .'iily-liv e miles of public ''
roads which have been declared pub- "
lie in the a foresaid length of lime. ''
These two original roads are still !'
there to be Worked and all of these !
ten loads between tliein are expected
lo be worked and there are not ^
as many hands subject to road duty 1
tor all I liese roads as were ti ft y years '
ano to work the old ('olumhia road | "
and (lie old Prosperity road.
Soiiie want the roads worked by '
tax.il ion. I 11 a I Would be good in
some respects ami some it would not.
I will give my reason. The cotton 1
mil!- have drained the farms of
white laborers. The oil mills, rail-| ,
roads, gravel pits and town loafers)
have drained the lie^l- of negro la-I *
hor. Now , if | lie roads are worked
h\ taxation they would have to be '
worked b\ contracts, which would
-till drain tin* lields of more laborers.
for the contractors could not '
work I heir contracts without hands '
which they would easily get. for the S
negro don't like to wail until Christ- ..
mas for !*is money, he wants it right '
now. ''
Of course my plan for road work- (
ing won I ever become a law, but
here it i- I think the legislature
ought to pass a law to force everv
land owner lo work the public road c
on his own land so far as the road s
touches his land. It would not ex- ^
euse anyone, for I think every land
owner lias a public road or a piece "
of one. or al least that is the case in
No. It) township. It would excuse nobody,
while or black, for all who do
not own land have to live on somebody
s laud and then tliyy should
have to work the road as far as the
road extended on the place on which j{
he or they may reside. All hands jt
could turn out at chance time and Sl
keep their road in good (ravelling v
condition and not bother the farm (|
work in the least. Of course the f(
county would have to keep up the |
bridges and when the hands would j,
get the side ditches made, they would }|
not drag trash in them and lill them |,
up like they do now, and Mr. Wick- ,,
er's snake road, as he calls the ditches
would soon get straight. r

Wood Pulp Report.
Washington, May .'11.?A preli- $
miliary report of the consumption of w
pulpwood and the amount of pulp o
< I
nauufacturcd last year has just been I
ssued by the bureau of the census,
'lie advance statement is made from
lie statistics collected by the census
mreau in cooperation with the
*11 ited States forest service.
Many of the figures bring out ine
res ting facts which show the rapid
:rowth of the paper making and alied
industries during the last decade.
Nearly four million cords of wood, in
xact numbers 3,002,000 cords, were
ised in the United States in the 1111111ifaclure
ofjiaper pulp last year, just
wice as much as was used in J8?)0,
lie first year for which detailed figires
were available. More than two
lid one-half million tons of pulp
rere produced. The pulp mills used
(Ml.000 more cords of" wood in 1007
han :.n the previous year.
The amount of spruce used was 08
?er cent, of the total consumption of
1111? wood, or 2.700.000 cords. The
ncreased price of spruce has turned
he attention of paper manufacturers
i? a number of oilier woods, hemlock
unking next, with ">70.000 cords or
I per cent, of the totiil consumption.
lore than 0 per cent, was poplar,
nd the remainder consisted of rclaivelv
small amounts of pine, eotonwooil.
balsam and other woods.
There was a marked increase last,
car in the importation of spruce,!
kliich has always been the ino>| pouilar
wood for pulp. For a number'
f years pulp manufacturers of 111 i> I
oiintry have been heavily importing |
pruce from Canada, since the avail-1
hie supply of this 1 in the north i
entral and New Fnuland states.)
then most of lh?* pulp inill> are local- i
d is not etpial to the demand. Figires
show that the amount of thisj
aluable pulp wood brought into 111 i< I
011 n I ry was iuor<' than two and onealt'
times as ureal in 1007 as in
H00. In 1!M>7 the importations were
nr?cr than ever be fori*, beinti 2") !
icr cent. <jreater than in lOOti. The 1
pruce imports last year amounted i
o more than one-third of the con-'
umption of spruce pulp wood. Only!
slightly yreater auioiinl of domestic,
pruce was used than in 1000.
I.arti'e <|Uant it ics of hemlock were
sed l?y the Wisconsin pulp mills,'
nd the report shows that the Heaver |
'tale now ranks third in pulp pro- j
ut ion. New York and Maine rank 1
ig lirst and second, respectively.]
'opular lias heeu used for a louji
ime in the maim fact ure o| liitih !
rade paper, but the supply of this!
'ood is limited and the consumption
f it has not increased rapidly.
Wood pulp is usually made by '
illier one of two general processes,)
icchanical or chemical. In the nichanical
process (he wood, al' 'r 1 long
cut into suit aide sizes am' vked.
* held auainst revolving grindstones
II a stream of water and thus reduced
i? pulp. In the chemical process the
arked wood is reduced to chips and j
ooked in large digesters with chelicals
which destroy the cementing
laterial ol the libers and leave pracically
pure cellulose. This i?- then |
ashed and screened to lender it ]
nilable for paper making. The diedeals
ordinarily used are either I?i- 1
nlphite of lime or caustic soda. A
tile over half of tin* pulp maim- l
act nred last year was made l?v the L
nlphite pri icess, a ud about one-third j:
y the iiK'chanical process, the re- <
minder heiiitf produced by the >o?la j
I'ocess. Much of the mechanical pulp.!,
r ground wood as it is commonly!;
ailed, is used in the making white
aper but always mixed with sonic L
nlphite liibre to 'jive the paper
tre nuth. A cord of wood ordinal'-'
y yields ahout one ton of mochaninl
pulp or about one-half ton of
hemical pulp.
