Uhdor the caption, "No Time
for Independents,'.' the Newber- p
ry Herald and News Thursday* ?
published the following editorial p
article: ^ j
"We regret to see in the papers
that Governor Blease has
announced that he witi be a can- j C
didate for congress in the Sev- j ie
enth district as an independent j VI
in the general election. This is,o]
no time for an independent. It tl
is a time above all others in the 1 h
history of our State when the; oi
white people should stand to-, si
geLher.as one man. Indepcnd-j k
outisin means an appeal to the! A
negro vote. That means trouble
for the negro and white man .
both. R(
"We cannot see how Governor p
Blease can square his present po- ^
sition with the many speeches he ! jr
has made over the State de-; ^
nouncing the Independent and ' w
the llnskellite and ail that sort
of thing. k

Maintaining the Roads. u
An act of the last session of p
the general assembly makes especial
provision for the main- h
tainencc of.the three main, or ol
ehaingang.-built.../highways of jr
York county. In view of the gl
miserable condition of the coun- ci
ty-built road from Fort Mill to <.]
Catawba rivpj\, ,thia law, which rr
follows, will "bh Vtad with inter- b
c*i hereabout?^h<
1. That these' (county built) 1 a
roads bo n^iintaiaed by thecoun-! i
ty supervisor hnd* the county j x\
boafd of commissioners. The! 0
township supervisors have noth- j p(
iug to do with them. ! a]
2. For the maintainenee of | ei
these roads the supervisor and R!
commissioners are authorized to
use all the State automobile license
tax that properly belongs
to the townships through which
the mads run.
3 In addition to the State auto- a
mobile license tax fund, the su- y
per visor and commissioners may v
use in the repair of these roads ^
fifiids taken from the townships ^
through which the roads run, at
the rate of $l(^pqr*mile. ^
A. The HupcBsfisor and board of .
county commissioners are au- ,
thorized and instructed to divide
ah these roads Into sections, each .,
of not less than one mile, and ,
let the worl^ of maintenance out j {V
by contract'in accordance with
Specific a ti o h3*Ho be'?furnished by
the board. 1 . 1.
in the event it is impractible ^
fn let the war-kbut by contract,
then then the tilpervisor and
commissioners are .required to< ^
do the rriaintainance work them- ^
selves with-hi tod .labor. ..
' * The net Rpecifles that the roads
must be resoiled. vv fr
* in the event that it is imprac- al
'titrable to have the work done by
means of hired . labor then the m
JMrttM is directed to use the aj!
chningang.
The net further specifies that
if the automobile funds and the " I
$lf>fa milepf township funds are . ,
insufficient for the work, the j. 1
hoard may supplement such fund
from the ordinary county fund
so far as the same may be neccs- rJN
aary. ou
