I have been elected the second time one of the county commissioners for some cause. I do not know whether it was from sympathy or confidence they had in me. I do think that I have sense enough to know wfien the roads need work and I think 1 know when they are worked right, but now the way the law is. I have no power at all to.dq or to have any work done. It is true 1 had no power only through the supervisor. He allowed me, if 1 knew the road waa impassable or a bridge needed repair, to have it worked, now if the road gets impassable or a bridge falls in at my door, it must stand until the Highway Commission has it worked. 1 can only meet the board, aign claims and draw my aalary. s D.
