r Editor The Dsiptach-News:
As a reader of your paper I do not
care to ko far in the proposed bill of
1 Dr. E. C. Kidgell as to maintaining
and building roads, but there are
somo things that I wish to call to the
attention of the people of Is?xington
county.
! In Section 2: The supervisor shall
i l>e nominated by the majority of the
legislature and approved by the gov.
ernor. Now, I do not think that tho
> opportunity of the people should bo
taken away from them, and not al
low them to nominate their own sup;
orvisor. If tho pooplc are capable of
i nominating tho governor they certain,
ly should be capable of nominating
tho supervisor. I do not believe in
, taking one right away from the people
. The office belongs to them and they
; should have a voice in tho matter,
i Again in Section 4: Tho supervisor
and the. commissioners ehsll have
i charge of all roads, bridges and feri
rifes, and power to discontinue these
when they arc not nocessary. As to

discontinuing rqads, bridges and ferries,
I do not tbink they should have
these rights, unless they have a petition
from the parties nearest' the
roads and bridges to be discontinued.
Not that the people that now hold offico
would do it, but if some set of
men should got in that want to spite
Mr. Ridgell or some one else they
have the power and authority to put
it to the back of tho house, and Mr.
Ridgell could not help himself. I do
not believe in giving no set of officers
more authority than they are
worthy of. 1 am not ridiculing Mr.
Ridgell's plan at all./I cetainly would

let's not bo too hasty %tul overlook the
