Working The Roads.
Editor Record:
oome weeKs asro tnere was a
communication in The Citizen say-
ing in substance that the public
roads in the Ronrhwpsrprn narfc of
Williams township had been im
perfectly worked, and intimating
that, the road fund had too many
-
leaus in that division.
Now, Mr. Editor, I am no road
politician, and am far from trying
to inject any partisan feeling in
the road business, but J am per
suaded to believe that communi
cation was instigated by a party
; fP?"?"18? the supervisor of
this division is a Democrat, and,
if so, let me say that the other
supervisor is a Populist and I am
told that the roads in that section
are not worked as well as they
1 1 . i 1 1 1
were under the old road law, ex
cept one road; all the work or
nearly all is done on one road, and
the tax-payers are tired of this
business, and the citizens of the
north-ea3tern part of the township
will ask for their rights in this,
matter. .
Away with politics in the road
business. Let the superintendent
remove the supervisor who con
tinues to look to party in the road
business. The roads m the north
eastern part of Williams township
are greatly neglected. A half day
run-over is about all in one year.
Fair Play.
Conductor Fatally Shot.
Special to Charlotte Observer.
Durham, Sept. 12. Passengers
who came in on the Norfolk &
Western train tins morning tell of
the accidental shooting of a Pull
man conductor mn the main line of
the Norfolk & Western road at
Lynchburg, Va., this morning. At
last accounts it is said that the
conductor was so badly wounded
that he cannot recover. The acci
dent occurred in this way: At
Lynchburg the train crews on the
main line change. While the prop
erty of an express messenger was
being taken of? the train one of
the crew accidentally dropped- a
gun belonging to the express com
pany, one of the kind carried by
the messengers, and it was dis
charged. The load of buckshot
entered the left side of the con
ductor who was standing near-by.
