CHEROKEE LEADS OUT.
It seems that our legislators have
seen fit to once more shoulder the
responsibility of the condition of our
public roads upon the County Commissioners
in refusing to arrange for
a tax levy for Good Roads. They
havo left it optional with the County
Commissioners to charge anywhere
from one to three dollars commuta
tior. road duty. Tho Commissioners
will naturally feel a hesitancy in increasing
the road commutation, but
it is now the only recourse if we are
to have good roads. We still believo
this plan is erroneous an unfdir. The
only fair method, as far as we can
see, is taxation. We can very readily
understand why tho poor man,
struggling to make both ends meet
year after yoar, with his mule and
wagon to travel over tho roads, will
naturally consider it a hardship to bo
required to pay as much for keeping
up the roads as his rich neighbor,
with his broad acres and his many
vehicles, mules and horses. If the
money was to be raised for roud work
by taxation, each man would pay his
proportionate part of the cost. It
enn be done in no other way.
We notice in last week's issue of
tho GafTney Ledger, that tho wideawake
County Commissioners of our
new sister county, GalTney, have
taken the matter in hand, and at
their last meeting decided to purchase
$7,280 worth of road working
inachinery, consisting of traction.
1 engine, rock crusher, rollers, dumpers,
road machines, elevators, plows,
etc., nod are going to work in earnest
to build good roads for that
count y.
We have talked with our Commissioners
regarding this matter some
time ago and they prefcred to let the
Legislature assume the responsibility
by enactment, this we thought they
were justified in doing. The Legislature
has advanced a step, but still
leaves it in the hands of the Commissioners
to make the levy or name the
commutation. Will they rise up to
the occasion and take hold of the
matter as QafTney has done, without
any further delay? If we are not
mistaken there is a fine rock quarry
on the land belonging to Union
county, besides the thousands of tons
of rock along the public roads. Take
hold, gentlemen, buy a good road
building outlit and demonstrate to
the people that you are determined
to give them good roads, and though
the commutation is unfuir to the
poor man, we believe even he will

We usually lead, but Qaffney pete
the jump on us this time, let us follow
with good grace and bo quick
about it. We might outstrip her yet,
and make the first show-down of the
first mile of permanent, good roads.
It is up to you, gentlemen of the
board, how soon shall it be?
Our Washington correspondent
says:
''Event* have moved rapidly in the
past week and as a result the antitrust
program suggested by the
Sennto leaders has been practically
completed. This program has received
the ontire approval of the
President and only the adoption by
the House of the Eh ins Lill remains
to round nut all that that the Republican
leaders propose to do in the
line of trust control.
"The legislative accomplishments
for trust control will consist of, (1) an
appropriation of $r>(M),oCM? for the employment
of expert legal assistance
in the prosecution of anti-trust cases ;
(2) the passage of a law expediting
anti-trust cases in the courts, including
the anneal of such enaes tr> tliu
Supreme Court without trial by the
courts of appeal; (51) the prohibition
of rebates and equal liability for
grantor and receiver, provided by the
Klkins bill, which has still to receive
the approval of the House; (1) the
amendment of the bill creating a Department
of Commerce and Labor
whereby there is to be appointed a
Commissioner of Corporations whose
duty it shall be to gather statistics
regarding industrial corporations for
the use of the President and the Attorney
General and the publication
of such as the President may indicate.
"The Littletield anti-trust bill
passed the House on Saturday, after
many brilliant speeches on the subject
of trusts, their antiquity and the
difficulties in the way of remedying
their evils. Representative Littlelield,
speaking of the antiquity of the
trust problem, traced it buck to the
year 21100 H. C. and said of it, 'Like
the poor it is always with us.' The

really more of a form than < therwise
i.s it had already been announced by
I lie Senate lender* that, it could not
piss the upper chamber and would
nor, even receive consideration by
that body. The House committee on
Commerce met Tuesday and discussed
the Elkina bill, it i.s expected to pass
in the near futuro, notwithstanding
the fad that many members feel considerably
chagrinned at the sidetracking
of their favorite measure, ty
the Senate."
i
It is claimed by some of the members
of the Legislature that the people
expected the time for paying
taxes to be exteuded aud it would
consequently work a hardship on
them not to extend the time. The
people didn't expect any such thing,
they were led to believe all along that
the timo would not bo extended this
time, and consequently moro have
paid taxes than have done so in several
years. There is no excuse or
sense in extending time. Under our
present law a man * can pay or not

his monev he can do no hv rmvlnt* n I

Senator Gorninclc scored thr Pros!.
dent and the Secretary of war in a 1
red hot speech in the U. S. Senate
Monday, charging them with being
cognizant of and trying to conceal
the outrages of the American Army
in the Philippines, in -carrying out
tho Republicau policy of subduing
the Philippines at any cost. He
charged that murders in the Philippines
by tho American soldiers had
become so common that they" would
not bear investigation, and they were
not investigated, notwithstanding
Roosevelt's promise that he intended
to probe the crimes in the Philippines.
Ho charges that there is a
regular organized system of torture
practiced on the natives. It had
been going on for months and no
torturer had over been punished for
the crime.
Senator McLaurin shows his hand
and sets at rest the question as to
whether ho was going to support the
President in his appointment of the
negro Crura, or stand by the white
Deonle of his State. He was inter.
viewed by the Washington Post, after
the Senate Committee had failed to
report the nomination, but kindly
throws a boquet to the President,
lie said in part:
"I think the action of the committee
is proper, because the confirmation
or the non-conlirmation of Crum
will raise a race issue which every
good citizen, North or South, should
wish to avoid. The matter has far
outgrown.the personality of Dr. Crum.
It has become a question of race, and
white supremacy is absolutely essential
to the best' development of both
races. This doctrine has beeu accepted
and constitutional safeguards
thrown around it, and I have no idea
that any appointment made by this
administration is intended as an attack
on this vital principle. There
are other colored people who havo
been appointed in other Southern
States without such a furor being
raised as over this comparatively unimportantant
position.
"I think that the friends of Dr.
Crumb ure largely responsible for
this, because they took the position
that the refusal of the President to
appoint Dr. Crum was because of his
race. This will always raise the
color question, and every respectable
white man in the Soutlx will be one
way when it is made a matter of
race."

The Legislature is after pistol |
toters with a sharp stick, and we ^
hope something will result that will
make the said gentry realize that tho
people and the law mean business at
last in the effort to stamp out.the
pernicious habit of lugging a pistol
around. There is a movement to
make the penalty disfranchisement
and the latest is a proposition to
make the chain gang the penalty
without the privilege of paying a
fine. Put them both in if necessary,
anything to stop it. Never let up
until it is put down in earnest.
