A citizen here this week from Peter's Creek says that there is a strong sentiment in that sec tion against working the roads by free labor any more, and that many persons declare that they will never work any more with out pay, and will contest the matter in the courts. They deny the right of any one to force them. One overseer returned his road order, flatly refusing to serve. This report comes from all over county. There are many roads in the county that have not been worked in twelve months, while some have not been touched for years. Free labor has had its day. Entertainment Saturday Night, March Ist.

I I Editors Reporter : Since the act making it pos sible for the citizen* of our township (Sauratown) to cho-e ■ between good roads or the pres ent system of no roads at all has been passed by the General Assembly of our State it now becomes the duty of very citi zen to begin thinking over the situation with an eye to advanc ing the general interest of the c >mmunity. All will acknowledge that a po>d road v\i 1 add much to the material growth of ■ our county. No one will make a claim that g-.«>d roads are nor much to be preferred. For my! part I have a very simple prop-; . osition to put to the citizens of i Sauratown township; those them who reside in the country; ; I landlords and tenants alike. All | such citizens know that the citizens of Walnut Cove have I I never contributed a cent towards ' the up-keep of our roads and > that our citizens in this little - Burg are not liable for road 'duty. They know also that the ' non-residents of this township pay not a cent for the up-keep |of the miles of road that go " through and by the broad acres ■ i they possess. Further, they i know that we get but little, such ■ a little indeed, that it is of no • ; noticeable consequence from the t two railroads that traverse ■' the southern border of the town- I ship. Now my proposition : 3 If you good people in the country will submit to it and go right on and vote for the law, (we agreeing to help you with our votes) the three factors: The citizens of Walnut Cove who are doing nothing for road?, ' the miles of railroad track and j the land owners of the township who reside entirely out of the county, will be compelled to | pay from half to two thirds of the bonded indebtedness. This ! is a fact. The argument that I don't . want to vote a debt on my children is not at all significant. | What will the average son's tax j amount to as compared to six i days' hard labor on the public , roads. This law if ratified at I the polls eliminates free labor. I I The thing that looms up be ' fore mv vision overshadowing every other consideration is the :, fact of its ratification meaning good roads. Make good roads ' i the slogan, work for good roads, [ I talk for good roads, vote for 2 I good roads and the pleasure f i will be ours in using good roads. 3 One more idea in conclusion: you good citizens who pay no tax 3 1 except a poll tax, don't you be 1 j led to believe that this change f1 of front in road system will J i work any hardship on you. It's 1 the opposite. It places the obligation largely where it be- I longs: on the railroad property : owners and the land owners. ] Citizens of Sauratown, take j the case. JOHN G. FULTON. I ' J, F. Lewis To y Out. t Mr. J. F. Lewis, of Walnut i Cove Route 3, was here yester day. Mr. Lewis will on Monday. March 10, sell to the highest bidder for cash a lot of corn.
