Mr. Editor : I think that the great question with js, as citizens of 0 is county, is to go forward in it work of improvement .in Cabarrus the grea our public roads, as well as in. aU . other mattters, botu public and pri-1 m vate. ' i The alternative system of working our public roads is the system we shouldjadjieie to ; it is a plan and system that can be changed from time to time to s5it the demands; the county commissioners ; have the power to change the plan and work the roads to the best interests of the county at large. . If the present plan is too expen sive and costs too much to work the convicts, they have the power to change and adopt some other, but we believe if the present plan is econo- mically executed it will prove a great benefit to our public roads in the county. "We, the citizens of Ca barrus county, do trust thi3 great work to the good judgement of our county commissioners, and believe when they find it too expensive they will change to some other plan, which the law allows them to do. "We have a good road law now in our county and let us not swap it for one .that is no better than our old state law, under which no .county can have good roads.. We need laws that provide for permanent work on our roads ; work when done will stand for years, and not have to be repaired every few months. We do not want to adopt u law that will separate our township from the other townships of the county and tie our hands, so we cannot move forward in the great work of improving our public roads. The condition of our public roads in the county, if good, will certainly prove its prosperity; for a country with bad roads is not on the road to prosperity, for bad roaJs are one of the main wet logs that hang around its neck. I see in our county papers that the county commissioners of our county have called or ordered an election to be held in No. G township on the adoption or non adoption of the Means law in said township. So far a3 1 see our needs in No. 6 township, we need no Means Law ; in adopting that law we wculd be stepping backward and would work injuries to our township and to the county at large. It is very severe in its demands and suggests many fines and imprisonments and provides for four days' work in each year, and" for 15 cents tax on the hundred" dollars worth of property. One of tire most objectionable fea tures of it is the selfish .feature it presents ; in adopting thi3 we cut ouraelve3 loose from the balance of the great county of Cabarrus, and .virtually say we have no need of thee we have just a3 much need of the whcle county in this great pub lic road matter as in any other and I believe more. Once in this law, we are fast for good unless you can manage to get it repealed by the Legislature of North Carolina I say we will stick to Cabarru3 coun ty's road law arftl work to build up our county seat, which 13 the pride of U3 all. When we have good roads all over the county and our county town is one that will demand our products, then it will be our privil ege and pleasure to travel over good roads. We need not expect to im prove our public road3 by each town ship adopting a separate law from- MEAS.V LA W le county law. I hope Ttnd will also urge all the ters of o0 G township o cme out to the election apd voe own tie Meanslaw, Ss proposed, and let's . - - k. aiu lu tue union- Geo- e- KlicniE.

The Concord Perpetual Building & Loan Association will commence its 8thseries of stock J une 4th 1 892.

Borrowers getting money through this associa tion pay a less rate of interest than they can obtain money from any other source for. We make the foN lowing estimate (based on our expe rience 01 lour years) : A loan of $1000, at time of subscription, will cost, to repay, about $1,250, making the interest for the use of $1000 for about six years $250, or about 4 per cent. We are now lending upwards of $1300 per month and ho-po to in crease the number of shares sJ that we can do still better.

That the Democracy of North Carolina reaffirm the prin ciples of the Democratic party, both State and national, amljfparticularly fajpr the free coinage of silver and an increase of the currency, and the repeal of tho internal revenue syss tern. Abd we denounce the McRin ley tariff bill as unjust to the con sumers of the country, and leading to the formation of trusts, combines and monopolies which have oppress d the reop!e,and especially do we denouncethe unnecessary and bur densome increase ii the tax on cqt, ton ties and on tin, so largely used by the poof er portion of the people. We likewise denounce the iniquites ous force bill, which is not yetaban doned by the Republican party, but is being urged as a measure to be adopted as soon as they regain con jtrol of tho House of Itepresentas uvea, tho purpose and effect tot which measure will be .to establish a second period of reconstruction in the Southern States, to subvert the the liberties of pur people and in flamg a new v race 'antagonism and sectional animosities." " " ' ' 2 That we demand financial re form, and tho enactment .of laws tLat will remove the burdens of the people relative to the existing laeri- cultural depression, and do full and ample justice' to the farmers and la borers' of our country. ; 3. That we demand the abolition of national banks, and the substitus tion of legal tender Treasury notes, in lieu of national bank notes, is sued in sufficient volume to do the business of tho country on a cash sj-titem, regulating the amount needed on a per capita basis as tho business interests" of tha fcoun 1 n .. try expand, ana tnat all money issued by the government shall.be legal tender in payment of all debts, both public and private. 4. Tnat we demand that CoDgres8 shall pass 8uch laws as shall effect ually prevent ttie dealing in futures of all agricultural and mechanical productions: providing such strin gent system of procedure in trials as shall secure prompt conviction and imposing such penalties as shall secure naost perfect compliance with the law. i . ' 5. That we demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver. '.' '.'

' . ' 7, relieving in the doctrine of "equal rights to all and special privileges to none," we demand that taxation, national or State, shall not be used t build up one interest or clay's at the expense of another. We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people. and hence we demand that all rev enue, national, Mate or county, shall be limited to the' necessary expenses oflhe governments econ omically administered. 8.
