THE GOOD ROADS BOND ISSl
The Good Roads Bond issue is
V>e voted upon by the people of Uni
county. The election will be he
on April 6, 1915, nearly two mont
from this time. There is ample tir

Messrs Wagnon anil Walker in t
House and Mr. Hughes in the Sena
agreed upon the measure in its e
tirety as published in this wed
Times. That in itself, is one poi
scored in favor of the bill, viz: t
details were threshed out and the
was full agreement on the part of o
entire delegation before the measu
was introduced. As we understa

they see fit. That is his inalienat
Tignt?one that nobody questions,
the meantime, the columns of t!
paper are thrown wide open to bo
proponents and to opponents of t
bond issue. We make but one i
quest, that each article sent in f
publication come to us not later th
Tu' of th.- week in which t
publication is desired. We free
cheerfully give space to one and
interested in the question.
Now, what is the attitude of t
Times' editor? It does not matt
very much. He is hut one of mat
and has very little of this worli
jrood to he taxed. Nevertheless,
b; ; hopes 111 the matter, i
ditor who would tifht food roa

food to him. (iood roads eerlaii
look food to t'ais cri'v I 1
sci ihe is foinf to be honest in fivi
the reasons that impel him to u<t.
rate the honil issue. lb re are t
reasons, without reservation a
without hypocrisy:
1. (iood Roads will combine w
the motorcycle and just double i
cana ity '<> f t about th lnisim
of The Times. This will put acti
dollars in my pocket, ten at least I
every additional dollar paid in tv
to carry the bonds. I know some
the hist men in Union county h
considerable frudfe afainst t
motorcycle; but I have always fi\
more than half the road to any si
all, blsick and white, and I propi
to continue that policy. I hs?ve nei
had the slightest trouble with ai
Iv 1 ueuuve mai ^^uu,uuu Lurnea
n:i loose for labor in this county for pub- ^
?n, lie improvements will help every en- ni
it- terpri'se in the county, even the far- ti
en nier. The farmer, if he is going to si
x- cut his cotton acreage, has on hand e:
)h. more stock, and on his farm, more
ay labor than he needs. Here is an a]
ds outlet for work for every mule, fc
lis horse and laborer that he can spare, si
ly, This labor will, in turn, spend the hi
to money received as wages right in w
n- Union county. Every merchant will
ist find that it will help his business, c.
ey while it is solving the problem of ei
ile the farmer, who finds himself over- m
,rs stocked with work animals and laIt
borers, (d) I feel confident in the '*
of men named to carry out this great ai
er plan. They are honest men; that
njr three of them are bankers is a good n
as feature. Men who are to spend m
lie $200,000 of public funds in three ti
In years need to be men used to hand- ^
iis ling money. These men, if the plan
th goes through, will have the spending e,
he of $00,000 of public money every 12 ni
re_ months for three years. I'm glad n:
or the commission is made up of hard
an headed business men, and to me this
01
he is about the best feature. It makes ^
|vt little difference to me whether thev
all are my personal favorites or my open w
foes. I want the money spent tl
he wisely, and honestly. I don't be- ti
;er lieve there are a half dozen men in
Union county who could question the ^
tl 8 integrity of a single man on the n
he commission. u
\n 4. I am almost ashamed to (rive c
,)s this reason for my favoring the bond
of issue. Rut I promised to be honest, j
,,f and it will have to iro down in black (]
orv and white: At least three-fourths of _
dy every dollar of this $200,000 will
, come out of the corporations and the
ng wealthy people of Union and the
county. I am sure that thirty corh
porations and the well-to-do indi0,1
viduals who are connected with that
, thirty will pay more than threeith
fourths of the entire tax. If you
,,y doubt this, you have but to do a little
tbinkinc for vnurself. And to be
ial perfectly frank with you, kind reafor
i ders, if it were not for the fact that
the men who are running these same
of corporations were, almost to a man,
rjj,l in favor of the bond issue, I would
: oppose it myself. 1 do not believe
,en it would be fair to put this additional
in(j burden upon them. But if they de)S(,
sire it so, 1 am selfish enough to
/er help put it upon them.
<iy- 5. I am in favor of a bond issue
or another reason. It is often said
y some reasoners that a bond issue
.^unccuuifj generations. 1 nats
o, and is a strong reason why I am
i favor of the bond issue and not
direct levy, all of which would have
> be paid in three to five years. I
m selfish enough to desire some of
ie benefits of good roads. I am
ow 48 years old and I have but a
jw years at least. Since there are
;ft me only a very few years
>r motorcycling certainly, I
link it only fair that the young
iscal, with prospects of sixty years
f motorcycling (or buggy riding for
lat matter) should have some of the
>ad put upon him. If he is worth
hill of beans he will, in his day,
less my memory for having left him
t least part of the load to carry.

United States, state, county, munleial,
territorial and insular officers
wfully engaged in making purlases
respectively for the army and
ivy, the public health service, ana
ideral, state, county and municipal,
srritorial and insular hospitals or
risons, are exempted from the prosions
of this law; and sales, deliv ies,
etc., to these officers and initutions
are not affected by the law;
it private hospitals and instituons
are not exempted.
As to Cocaine
Section G of the law exempts from
us law all preparations and
ircotics containing stipulated quanties
of the prohibited drugs, but it
lould be carefully noted that these
cemptions do not apply to cocaine
" any of its salts, whether alone or
i combination with other drugs, and
11 sales of cocaine in any or every
>rm whatever must be made in purlance
of a writen order on the
anks supplied by the collector. It
ill also be noted that while the title
r the law and the first section of it
>es not mention alpha or beta euli'ne,
Section 6 provides that the ex nptions
shall not apply to "linilents,
ointments and 'other preparaons'
which contain cocaine or any of
s salts or alpha or beta eucaine or
ny of their salts or any synthetic
ibstitute for them.
It should be remembered that the
arrison law is a taxation or revenue
leasure and applies to all transacons
in every state, city or town and
not confined to sales in interstate
affie. It should also be borne in
lind that it is necessary for all dealrs
to continue to observe state and
lunicipal laws regarding the sale of
arcotic and poisonous drugs. Attenon
is also called to the fact thav
lere is no advantage in retailers or
ispensers purchasing large quanties
of the prohibited drugs prior to
(arch 1, as it will only add to the
ork of reporting stocks on hand in
le inventory required by the regulaons
to be taken on that date.
The penalty for violating any of the
revisions of the law is a fine of not
lore than $2,000 or imprisonment foot
more than five years, or both, a-roll
as the probable large expense in
urred when suit is brought.

roubles in a way that vindicate

Union, Jonesville, Santuc, Carlisle,

in. There are several notable features sc
that are worthy (a) the fact that th
ry the work is so mapped out that se
o- every section of the county will be
he benefited at once. The main thor|e,
oughfares are: Loekhart to Union
n_ to Cross Keys; Carlisle, Santuc, Un- vj
jn ion, Jonesville lu county line; Whit- ir.
e_ mire to Union to Kelton to Shull
ly Shoals; Union to T,V?S t Springs. v'
lie That comes near reaching the whole. 1,1
ut. And then the plan to build up to these j
111 main thoruoghfares is admirable. i5l
(b) I like the way the money is to cl
ho be handled. Every bank in Union m
te county will be strengthened and the
n- money from the sale of the bonds
c's thus -distributed will help to make vj
nt the money situation easier. $200,000 ei
