THE X4T1MR OF THE~ RO %W4'. Referring to the fact that the farmers of Catawba county are kept at h heir homes by the condition of the roads, The Newton Enterprise tays a move mentought to be started to inprove them and that its information is ttat there is practically no opposition in the county to the issue of bonds to inaugu rate some systematic plan of road in provement, though there is some in the towns. Then the towns are standing very much in their own light; they have more to gain, if possible, from - good roads than the county. Our con temporary believes that this opposition "would be abandoned if the plan of grading, draining and covering with burnt clay were adopted, instead of the slower and more expensive macadamiz ing system." It places the cost of this treatment at the low figure of $300 a mile. We do not fenow anything about the efficiency of this system, but if North Carolina needs anything more than the banishment of ignorance, it is to get out of the mud, and it is a pleas ure to see that some of our counties have taken hold of this problem in a practical way and Are to vote on the issue of road improvement bonds. There are two avenues of hope for the im provement of the public roads, and only two. One is through the abandon ment of farming by the penitentiary and the putting of all able-bodied con victs, excepting those under sentence i & the gravest felonies, at work on the roade; the other is the issub of bonds To maintain a chain-gang large enough t6 be effective is more expensive than t) maintain an interest account, and bonds provide means by which the roads may be improved more rapidly than by the other method. It is the more practicable plan but our counties will have to come to one or the other unless the roads are to go from bad to worse.-Charlotte Observor. What is true in North Carolina is true here. We believe we need more "to get out of the mud" than we need the banishment of ignorance, for if we were out of the mud In the sense here meant we would soon banish the igno rance which hangs over us. In fact good roads would be the happy solution of many 'of the problems which now confront us. The only way to secure good roads is by taxation and then have them built by contract. We have always been an advocate of putting the convicts upon the public roads and we still believe that much good could be accomplished in this way if the con victs were properly handled, but if we are to be governed by the practical re sults in those counties where convicts have been tried we would conclude that this system Is a failure, except to go over the roads and build a few ditches -and this has to be done after each rain. The best investment the people of this county could in-ke, and for that matter the people of any county'in this - State, would be to vote for an Issue of about half mIllion dollars of bonds, the money to be used In building some good roads. It seems tous that any one who travels only occasionally the roads of this State would hesitate a.long time k before he would oppose such a forward and progressive movement and we do not believe any taxpayer in this county would oppose the expenditure of public money for the improvement of the pub A 'lic roads. It would. be a good Investment from any viewpoint. The increased value of property would amply repay the in vestment. Then there comes the say lng in the wear and tear of vehicles and horses not to speak of the saving in time and the increase in the amount that could be conveyed by the same vehicles and horses. Then there is to be considered the increased.desirability of the country as a place of residence. Each tbounty should start a good roads movement and the sooner the better. The annual reunion of United Con federate Veterans will be held at Dallas, Texas, on the 22nd of April. These reunions are always happy -occasions for the old veterans, when they can meet their comrades of the * dark days of the sixties, and revive the sad, ibut sweet memories of the past. * All the veterans who can should attend. We would like to seA a large delegatiorn from ttG Str.e and this county. We believe that in addition to the joy which they bring to the hearts of the old veterans, they do much good in that they bring before the generation which has now come upon stage clearer than all the books that have been written, the history of the great conflict car ried on by their father's to defend a cause they believed to be just. We noticed the statement in the Co lumbia papers that 156 families had recently left the farms to go to work in the Columbia cotton mills. At this rate the rural sections are sure to suffer There should be money made on the farm if the farm is properly managed and worked, and if there is not any money to be made farming, conditions are wrong somewhere. If we had bet ter roads in the country the problem would almost be solved, for that would mean better schools and many com forts. Then if the lien law were repealed and our credit system were changed, the farm would be the ide4 place to live. It seems that the sword incident is going to be the means of securing a very handsome s word for M ajor Jenkins, and CoL, Tillman will have his sword left on his hands. We hope, however, that the sword incident so far at least as Col. Tillman is concerned is at an end. However, Major Jenkins will have a handsome sword presented to him and a much handsomer one than the first one. A BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT.

Peterson, Longshores, S. C. My Dear Sir:-I had at first decided not to notice the fight you are makiua on me both through the newspapers and otherwise, but to treat it with the contempt which it deserves. Allow me to say in the beginning that I am a son of a Confederate veteran, and while my father was but a youth at the time and, I believe, saw no fighting, yet I have always been taught to have and do have the highest respect and reverence for those who sacrificed their homes and lives for a principle that will never die in a true Southern heart. As to your failure to be reappointed Supervisor of Registration, I will say that the pri mary reason is the same as bhe one that you were not elected Master in the primary, participated in by the Demo cratic voters of Newberry County, viz : A lack of the majority of the votes. In that primary, on account of previous acquaintances, your former pleasant connections with my father and my rebollections of your personal and busi ness relations with my grandfather, I voted for you. A few days after the first primary, I was informed by some friends that y ou not only vo:ed against me, (for what reason I do not know, neither do I care) but you did all in your power to defeat me at the Lorg shore box. I immediately changed po sition and in the second primary voted for your opponent. As to your actions in the first primary, I will say that they were confirmed not less than four days ago by some of the voters at the Long shore precinct. I am one of those who believe in hitting back when I am hit and sticking to my friends in prefer ence to those who fought me, and if the people of New berry County want to doivn me on that account, I am now willing to step down and out. As to your being deprived of an office, I will state that my information was that the only reason you are not now drawing six hundred dollars as a distributor of mail on the free rural delivery is that you found out that ydu could not hold both positions and coni sequently had your son appointed in your stiead. I could also remind you of another thing in this 'connection, but do not care to speak of it here. I did not vote for your~ res.pipointment, for the reason as stated above, for qualifi cations being equal, I shall always sup port my friends and supporters, pro vided the public service is niot thereby impaired. I will further tell you that out of the nine ballots taken on eight of them you received but one vote, (each time) which clearly showed that you were not only not my choice for the position, but also not the choice of the delegation. As a public officer, honored by-my c.austituents, I am will ing to be criticised for any of my ac ions or votes when it is done fairly and legitimately and I have no excuses or apologies to make for a single vote cast by myself during my brief legisla tive career and if in coming years I am honored further by tbe people of New berry, I shall always act as I have done in the past, voting as I think will best subserve the public interest, let the consequences be what they may. I am, yours respectfully, FRED HI. DoMINICK.
