I have started a campaign that will no
doubt result in the road being repair
ed. It is needless to say that this is one
of the most important roads leading
into Concord. It is also familiar to
every one that the excellent road in
the adjoining county leads to another
market. This has brought the people
of that section to the point of decid
ing which road will they take to mar
ket the good, -smooth highway or
the rough and hilly road.
A petition is being circulated. Not
only is it being largely signed but
many of the leading business men of
Concord are contributing funds for
the purpose of improving the road. It
will be presented to the eounty com
missioners at the next regular meet
ing of the board. By that time it
will likely have the names -oi every
business man' in town, or at least an
overwhelming majority of them. The
petition is as follows:
We, the undersigned citizens of
Cabarrus county, respectfully re
quest the Board of Commissioners of
Cabarrus county to grade and build
a sand clay, macadam or other kind
of good road from the Jackson Train

a good citizen, to help build up the
