RESULT OF BOND ELECTION
Nobody who wa9 informed at all
.as to the situation is surprised at thei
result of the election in Robeson this
-week for a bond issue for roads. It
we refer of course to the election
Tuesday under the Clark act, as the
election Monday does not. count so
fax as registering any verdict as to
Ixmds is concerned was about as ex
pected. . :
The Robesonian sees no . reason to
3bB discouraged by the large vote cast
otgainst the proposed bond issue. That
rote does not mean, we are quite sure,
that the intelligent people of Robe
con are opposed to a bond issue for
good roads or that they do not want
pood roads and are not willing to
pay for good roads. It was a sting
ing rebuke, rather, to those who have
wasted road money in the past in this
county and have used road funds as
a political football. It was a vote of
lack of confidence. By that vote the
people said that they are not will
ing now to vote a larger sum of
money for road work because the
are not satisfied that the road funds
have been wisely handled in the past.
And you can't -blame the peop
for taking that view of the matter.
The Robesonian believes tnat view
of Che matter is wrong, that it would
.have been wise to vote bonds now
-and put it up to the present road
board to build good roads; but we
are content with the verdict of the
people.
The matter is up to the. present
road board. If road funds are spent
so wisely during the administration
of the present board as to disarm
criticism, the attitude of the people
toward a bond issue will be entirely
different.
So settled was everybody in the
conviction that it would be impossi
ble to carry an election for bonds
just now that no organized campaign
was attempted, and even many who
are heart and soul in favor of bonds
took no interest in the matter and let
things drift as they would. Under
conditions like that it would be im
possible to carry an election for bonds
at any time.
Ex-Judge T. A. McNeill says that
the way boryls were snowed under
Tuesday was not a circumstance to
the way Robeson county defeated pro
hibition the first time the people of
the county voted on that question.
That was back in 1881. Judge Mc
Neill says that he and about ten oth
er people were about all who voted
in favor of prohibition then. And
yet two years from that time Drohi
bition carried in the county by an
overwhelming majority.
And so Judge McNeill thinks
and The Robesonian has no doubt
about the correctness of his view of
'the matter that the thinking people
or tne county are sorry that conditions-
have been such . that thev re
luctantly had to vote down such an
advantageous proposition for secur
ing money to build good roads as is
contained under the Clark act. anH
that two years from now, maybe one
year from now, an election for bonds
can be carried easily.
Judge McNeill thinks if you'll get
tne water out of Robeson county
ana Duna good roads it will be the
greatest and richest county in the
world. If those who want good roads
will preach the doctrine rieht on. in
season and out of season, it will not
taKe long to turn the tide and vote
Donus to do both.
Other thines that helm! n HHW
road bonds were petty jealousies and a
groping in some sections -after the
will-o'-the-wisp of a new county. But
inat is another story, to use Kipling's
vuussis pnrase.
. o
reopie of Robeson may be shy
about voting road bonds, because they
know road funds have not been wise
ly nandied m the past, but they nev
er miss an opportunity to vote
special tax for schools or to vote a.
feated Tuesday by 2,623 votes. The
vote for the bill was 351, while tne
vote against the bill was 2,974. Many
of the townships failed to cast a sin
gle vote for the bond issue.
The Gough road bond issue was de
feated Monday by 2,952 votes, There
were 3,009 votes cast against the.
bonds ard only 57 in the entire
county for them.
