Ki>itok I'nkis Tim. s: At the respiesi : t?r a number i?t" my friends, throughout ! the county, I wi*di hy your per- f mission to give to the public* through t your paper some ini'ormatioii upon tlx* i subject of the road law. roir.l tax etc. a (tovcriiiiix this county I realize very ; forcibly that some explinaiion of this l, vastly important sui .je t is absolutely } necessary from the fact that there seems i to b<jeon>;i<lorable<iUsalisi'aetion ami mis- I understanding of ihe lawan.l it s enforce- <; ment. The greatest dissatisfaction it i appears has arisen principle from two i facts. Kind. that the commutation road j tax in this county is two dollars winl'* in Spartanburg county it is but one dollar i and secondiy a road duty or tax being \ imposed upon Jaipur hoys. These two r features of the load law has pro\\>!u d a a great amount ol sj?ee;i!ation and hot d:s- , pleasure among our road tax pa\ers. It f appears that th.ere is a prevailing idea a in the minds of some of our people thai o myself and Hit* county boarded' eonunis- { sion:T.s an- responsible for tin- l\v<?(lo!!;ns '] r >;?<l li?x and the liability ?>1* minor hoys 1 i ?r 1 duly in I!:is county, licncc I feel I it my eniperative ?tt??v in justice to my- < self ami l!u' iiK'iul>"? s ot tlit' county r lionr<l to make a plain statement of the 1 facts so eagerly sought a tier by our po- I, pie.

I'nlike milk, tlu ugh. it cannot he watered, much tn the satisfaction of the consumers; who, nevertheless, stiil manage to lind enough t > kick about. The business of peddling electricity has thriven so rapidly that ahea !y hundreds of business houses and private resiliences are furnished daiiv with motive power to meet their various requirements. The needs of electricity are manifold. Tiie proprietors of manv hotels, theaters 11 and even the superintendents of public buildings, lind it much cheaper, though perhaps a iiltle more lKithersoine. to use liits eanneil lightning rather than to maintain an elect lie plant. For the same reasons, owners of private residences pmvha.M' the needful supply from the itinerant vender; and so great has the business grown that Urn shrewd dealer ; wiio iirs; Hn.-.igru of peddling power in this manner now litis eir* n routes which he supplies from as many wagons. Hadi morning the eighteen wagons are loaded with their stores, and start out on their various ways. At each place of delivery the driver grasps a can containing the amount required and deposit s it on the stoop or in the area way, where he hints an empty jar, the eonVr'nta of which were used the day before; this* he throws into tho wagon and drives on to the next customer. Like tiie butcher, the baker and candlostick maker, the electric man issubjected to oil kinds of lectures for his ! lv.nhisjie.ss in deliverj* of goods, a ! remissness which is nearly always j imaginary 011 the part of his patrons, j Same women who 1 my each day al??nt a ! one-sixtieth horse power can full of the j do trie tinid with which to work their ! wing machines or rock their liahies to | s!> ep. fret|Ueiitly complain that yester; (!.!> 's snppi\ was not as much as that of | the da\ lx-fore, forgetting that they ; ewed longer yesterday, or that their darling was more than usually cross and ! wakeful, and rcipiircd more rocking ! a -ordingly.

Many men. with limited ideas on the principles of government, have made a hoiihy of this question and consider it of more imi?ortan<v tlian ail others combined. The financial department is only one of the factors in any government. I low silver shall 1h> coined and used is only a side question and does not touch the foundation principles of government. It would le possible to do without either gold or silver as coined money. Jtoth could not be eliminated without paialyzing trade. Sentiment is on the sale of silver. It has always been used as money in all countries where they had silver. Tho people arc now clamorous for it to l?o placed on an equality with gold. The average man lielicvcs and teaches that, the free coinage of silver on the lti to I ratio. \v< uld end all our financial troubles turn money loose by the wagon load, reduce wall street end all other commercial centres to lteggsrx and put the i>oor man on top of a great wave of pr? spcrity* The mere coinage of silver on this Kisis would bring little lienefit to the people generally. If millions were coined eveiy month, these dollars would drop into the 1 Markets of those who had something to give for them. Three-fourths of the families of theeouutry make only a living. That is all they would make if there was enough money of some sort issued to give S-ioO.on instead of S'Jo.OO to each inhabitant of the country.
