j An Important Llattcr.
nrhA fnllowinr? t letter has
mailed to the trustees of the pub
lic roads of Guilford county, and
ai it contains much of interest ,we
giro it space Jn our columns. We
hope to publish a synopsis of the
new road law in our next issue:
To the Trustees of Public Roads of
Guilford County i
Deab Sirs : Weci ail you here
with copies of 'the road law with
amendments, and wish to call your
attention to same in respect to your
duty as trustee The law requires
trustees to meet on the first i lion
day in Hay (see sections 2 and 3),
and lay out the roads in sections
and appoint supervisors for each
section. We trust there will be a
full attendance at' the May meet
ing; and that you- urge upon the
supervisors the importance of this
work, calling their special attention
to sections 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 20. .
There seems to be an impression
in some townships that no local
work on the public roads is requir
ed since the convict force work be
gan, but this is a mistaken Idea. Jit
will be impossible for the public
roads to be kept in shape unless we
have a local force on each section
to look after the same; and unless
the trustees and supervisors take
an interest in the work and try to
keep their sections in shape, it will
be useless to have roads graded by
convicts. It is the intention of the
commissioners to try to run the
scrapers over all the roads that
have been put In condition for
. ' m - a . ...
same, out ail tne wars cannot pe
done by the scrapers, and we urge
you to co-operate with us In this
work that we may get our roads in
better condition. ; Have your roads
gone oyer now as soon as possible,
fill up the holes, and get them In
shape ; and if it can be run over
with the scrapers, we will do this
Just as soon as it can be reached.
Supervisors should go over their
roads often and clean out the cul
verts, as a little work at tne right
time in this way 'will save your
roads from being washed badly dur
ing heavy .rains. Local co-opera
tion by the trustees and supervis
ors with the board of county com
missioners has done much to make
the Mecklenburg road law. a isuc
cess in Mecklenburg county.
Should you need more copies of

It dois seem strange that in this
nlightened age people would be
found proclaiming it to be our du
ty to deny to the people of the Phil
ippines the rights for which our
forefathers fought from Bunker
Hill to Yorktown. i
The second mile post has been

Erwin and Miller are publishing a
paper that deserves the united
support of tbe people of Ruther

The great mass of tbe American
people do not relish the idea of be
ing burdened with increased taxa
tion in order to give ai few specula
tors and political favorite an op
portunity for exploitation ; and yet
it is for this purpose that Ameri

Philippines.

Small Boy Commits Suicide.
Chablotte, N. C, April 10.
News reached here today of a pe
culiar suicide a few miles from
Charlotte. Charles Love, a twelve
year-old boy, committed suicide'by
banging. . He went to an old black
smith shop, took a small rope, tied
the end of the rope to a beam and
hanged himself. , His body was
found by hfs parents several hours
after death, which resulted from
strangulation. His parents are
heart-broken at the affair, and say
they can think of no possible cause
for the deliberately planned self-
destruction, i
aanos of positions at his disposal.
The law under which; he derives
piaco ana aumority allows him to
distribute appointments, if he so
chooses, for such purposes, and his
selection as director under such an
act would seem to indicate that
the administration expects him to
distribute the offices within his
control wherever they will do the

Railroad Strike in Cuba.
Havana, April 10. The strike
on the United Bailroad is assum
ing a serious character, f The num
ber of strikers has been increased
to 1,500. A committee represent
ing the strikers waited upon Gov
ernor; General Brooke today, ex
plaining their attitude. The gen
eral warned them not to disturb
public order. The strikers will
move the mails and ; American
troops, but will not assist in the
transportation of passengers or
freight. If disorders occur the
military authorities will interfere.

The disagreement is between the
contractors and the negro laborers1
from Norfolk, who demanded, it is
understood, $1.50 per diem, which:
the contractors were unwilling to
pay. They therefore imported
forty laborers from North Carolina,
but before they went to work the
Norfolk men made out their easel
to them in such successful form!
that they did not go to work j No
force was used, and there was no
apparent intimidation of the ouU
