Some time ago, Mr. C. E^ Shat-

a letter calling attention to
abuses of the civil works progrj^
in this county. Since that tiini
there haa been no improveuiedl
but on the other hand there hu
beat a continuation of the prac
tices to which he called attention.

put off with the excuse that ~ no
more men were being hired, only

wmstantly being put to work, I
have a wife and four children to

Wilkes county who need the work
much less than I do. What is
true of me is true of many other
people whom I could name in
Wilkes county.

while other men that I know, whoj
are actually in need and who can i
hardly keep their families clothed
and fed have been denied employ
ment. I do not know how these
things are handled elsewhere, but
if the people are employed in oth
er counties on the same basis as
they are in Wilkes county, the en
tire civil works administration is
honeycombed with politics and
with favoritism.
Of course, there is a reason for
all these things. The reason in
Wilkes county is politics as usual.
This has been denied at times by
the participants and by the people
who have the authority to hand
out these jobs and they pointed to
the fact that there are Democrats
and Republicans employed and
that there are both Democrats and
Republicans on the board. How
ever. the joker in this deck is that
there are two factions in the Re
publican party in Wilkes county
and two factions in the Democratic
party. There is no representation
on the employment of one faction
in the Democratic party and also
one faction in the Republican par
ty, and therefore, from a political
standpoint over one-half the people
of Wilkes county have no repre
sentation oh the board. The po
litical faction in the Democratic
party, which is at present domi
nant, and the faction of the Re
publican party, which is represent
ed, work together very nicely and
the result has been that any man
who ever opposed either of the
factions, which are represented on
the employment committee, has a
hard time getting even a pick and
shovel job at the lowest wage,
while all of the jobs which pay
any substantial amount are given

delivered, or at least attempted to
deliver, the goods in tim’s past.
These facts are generally known
to every man who knows anything
at all about Wilkes county poli
tics and if an honest investigation
was made it could be ascertained
easily. However, I don’t think
that anybody wishes to find out
about it- All parties who have
their feet in the trough are con
tent, just so long as they are not
scrouged out.
However, the conditions in
Wilkes county do not square up
with the statement of President
Roosevelt when he warned the
people who deal out these funds
not to play polities with human
misery. In this connection, there
is one man in this county whose
household goods were burned and
everything that he had was de
stroyed by fire. He registered for
employment a month or two be
fore his fire and could not obtain
any, though he needed it at that
time, and now si ,ce his fire they
are still unable to give this man
work. Both he and his family are
on the charity of th*>ir neighbors
and kinsfolk. I bet this man will
know how to vote next time,
though probably he has got too
much principle about him to be
forced to degrade his ballot.
It seems to me that a foundation
for a political machine built upon
patronage and jobs snatched from
the hand of the poor and needy
w’ll be bound finally to fail, but in
the meantime human misery is not
relieved and people who have not
b-en in the machine and who are
not needed in the machine are
liable to suffer,
