tiE Monroe Journ VOL. 19. No. 5. MONROE, N. CM TUESDAY, MARCH 5. 1912. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. Let's Talk It Over. There U one thing that The Jour nal Is delighted to observe In con nection with the discussion now go ing on regarding the election to be held on the 23rd to determine whether or not the county shall Is sue bonds for road Improvement that Is the good will manifested, and the absence of acrimonious or unkind discussion. Whllo the peo ple are very much divided on the subject, no one. so far as we know, Is trying to make personal or polit ical capital out of It, and neither side Is accusing the other of ulte rior motives or selfish purposes. This Is as It should be. Union coun ty stands too high now In the esti mation of the State as a progressive and Intelligent county, to allow a question like this. In which we are all Interested, and on which men will and should differ in their Judg ments, to tear up our people or to create hard feelings. Let us stay on this high plane to the end, and whether the bonds carry or fail, the discussion will have done good, not only In furthering good road sentiment, but In spreading that feeling cf generosity, good will and fairness that should always char acterize a peopio who believe In common honesty, Integrity of pur pose, schools, churches, and all the things that make to a common wel fare. Take The Journal, for In stance. The paper has been very outspoken on the measure, as It In tends to be on every .question that concern") the general welfare. We know that a great many of our sub scribers do not agree with us, yet If we have lost one reader by It we don't know It, and If one has said an unkind word about the paper we have not heard of It. We appreci ate this very deeply, for wo hold that a newspaper should always ex press Its opinions candidly on all questions of large Importance, treat the opposition fairly, and let the matter rest on the Judgment of the public. We hold that the public would really hao little respect for the paper If it did otherwise, and we are Bure that we could not val ue very highly any subscriber who demanded as tho price of his sup port that the paper should always either agree with his views or keep Its own concealed. Agnln we Invite freely a discussion of both utiles of the question. County Commldsloners T. J. Gor don and W. Ci. Long, Mr. McXeely, editor of The Waxhaw Enterprise, and the editor of The Journal took a trip to Gaston county lust Thurs day for the purpose of looking over ' the road work in that county. These gentlemen went aa private citlzenu merely for tho purpose of seeing for themselves if any suggestions or facts could be sacured there that mi IK lit be helpful In framing opin ions regarding our own situation Each one paid his own expenses, and while- It was expected that a large number would go, several on both sides of the question having been asked, for one reason or an other, the party numbered only those mentioned above. Commis sioner Laney came to Monroe to go but owing to the bad condi tion of the roads, he missed the train. The party was received very courteously by the Gaston peopio with whom It came in contact, and especially by Hon. John F. Leeper, chairman of the board of county commissioners who took great care to give an me lniormauon possioie and to drive over the roads. The , Gaston people are proud of their roads and take a real pleasure In showing them, explaining their mis takes, and pointing out their ad vantages. Tbey have, of course, made some slight mistakes, as ev erybody does who undertakes to do anything. But by and largo they are highly pleased and are going right along without a halt. Tbey are laboring under one disadvant age that Union county would not have to contend with. That Is, they have about fifteen towns In the eounty, widely scattered, on differ ent lines of railroad, and these be ing market towns, require roads, even though some are situated on the outskirts of tho county. Now Union's towns are all on one line, they are few, and roads from one to the other would serve all equal ly well and fairly. Like every oth er county that undertakes the work should do, the Gaston people have tried to spend their money whero it would be of greatest service to the people. They have built some 80 or 100 miles, mostly Macadam, end some sand clay. The macadam cost from $3,000 to $4,000 per mile, the sand clay or surface roads cost ing $500 to $1,000 per mile and seem to be aa good and aa perma nent. The principal thing is to get them located right and graded, drai ned and crowned. They hire the grading done and the chain gang does the rocking. The roads are not made straight, but located to best advantage for drainage and per manenry. Another bis advantage, that Union county he Is that not so much grading wouuld have to be done. We have never seen men any more earnest In their endeavor to find the truth, so willing to get in formation or more fair minded in -"i?ir judgments than Messrs. Long .1 Gordon. They are close ob servers, level headed, and earnest, and are never swept off their feet by what they see. While they did not go in any official rapacity, but as private citizens footing their own bills, they were as careful In their observations and deductions as if they were charged with the task of "spying out the land" as an official obligation. There are no two men we would more readily rely on in any mission they would undertake They ask us to say to their friends for them that after seeing Gaston and Mecklenburg, as well as many other counties at other times, they are prouder than ever of their own county, appreciate Its progress and opportunities greater than ever, and are more firmly convinced that we shall In time have the roads that our progress along other lines enti tles os to. Our schools, our homes, our farms, our people they have not found surpassed anywhere, and they believe that whether tho peopio vote for this present measure or not, as they think best, they are convinced that Union will not long fall to come to the front in road Improve ment. It is the one thing lucking now to put our county fully ahead and to add Immeasurably to the ma terial and social progress of our people. .Messrs. Long and Gordon Mr. McXeely will no doubt give his viows in his own paper), agree with the editor of The Journal, that Un Ion county can have good roads without trying to macadamise any but the more heavily travelled ones near the markets where the traf fic converges, but by properly loca ting, grading, draining and drag glng the roads made of surface ma terial. By properly locating the main lines of road, and preparing them with surface material, well drained, and then have a business like and efficient system of drag ging, we can have good roads. And this money would doubtless be suffi cient, with the work of the chain gang, to so treat the main lines of roads traversing every section of the county. They feel that it is nessary to make a beginning, and whether the people see fit to set tie on this plan or some similar one, they will be found cheerfully doing what they ran to follow the will of the public in finding the best way. The Journal wishes to say, on lis own account, that the various mat ters of detail must by any plan, be left to the wisdom of the men the people elect to do tho work. The law itself, if adopted, guarantees that every part of the county shall have a square deal, nnd certainly no men are apt to be elected to office In Union county who would wish to do anything else. The tnx would not be a burden to any one, and this amount of money expended up on the roads of our county would certainly be worth many times over its value to our people. Let all get together, vote the money, and ex pond It in such way as seems most likely to be of greatest advantage to all the people. A Strong Presentation of the Ques tion. Are you In favor of the bond question? If not, then let us rea son together for a few moments. If I am wrong then I hope some of my friends will set me right, but if I am right, then I hope to be able to help you see the bond proposition as I see it. I know that some of our best people are opposed to it, but I think it is because they do not fully understand it. Some are op posed to it because, tbey say, the idea originated In Monroe. This Is no argument nt all. I know that we country people are somewhat In clined to believe that the towns are antagonistic to the Interests of the country, but we must not allow our prejudice to outweigh our Judgment Can there any good thing come out of Monroe? Certainly. One of old asked, "Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? " And yet Jesus Christ came from that despis ed place. So If Monroe originates a good thing we should not reject it Just becauso it had its origin there. Others say they are opposed to It because going In debt Is bad poli cy. We admit that going In debt in judiciously Is a bad thing, and yet do you not know that our most suc cessful business men and farmers go In debt when they see that It is to their Interest to do so. Suppose you borrow $1000 and Invest it in property so situated that within two or three years Its value it more than doubled dtdn t it pay you to go In debt? So if we can build better roads, decrease the wear and tear of our stock and vehicles, get rid of the six days free labor and en hance the value of our property by going In debt a little, will It not pay us to do so? Another says he Is opposed to the bond Issue because It will entail a hardship on the next generation. If you will examine the bill carefully, you will find that there Is absolute ly no truth In that stntement, be cause the bill provides for the an nual payment of Interest on bonds so thsre can be no compound inter est; and it also provides for a sink ing fund which being placed on In terest, will pay every rent of the bond Issue when they become due without any Increase In taxation for that purpose. Still another says that all the mon ey will be used on a few of the principle roads, especially around Moaroe. If you. will read the bill providing for the bond issue, you will find that it states positively that each township shall have lib proportional part of the money ac cording to the ratio of the amount of property listed for taxation In tho county. Isn't this right? Could you ask anything more? Again they say that the bond Issue would necessitate an Increase In taxes. If you will stop and make a calculation you will find that Un ion county already pays over $17. 000 road tax. besides tho six days labor, more than enough to pay the Interest on the bonds as it becomes due and to create a sinking fund which placed on Interest would be amply sufficient to pay every cent of the bond Issue. So there need be no Increase In road tax until the $200,000 worth of bonds are ex pended. However, the county com missioners may.whenever they deem It necessary for further Improving the roads, levy a road tax not ex ceeding 25 ceuts on the hundred dollars worth of property and "5 cents on the poll. This Is the lim it and under no circumstances can the road tax for all purposes, go be yond this amount, which Is Just ten cents more on the hundred dollars worth of property and 30 cents on the poll than we are now paying. And besides you forever get ridof the six days free labor which Is be coming so worthless and so repug nant to the better class of people. ' We have no hard feelings toward those who oppose the bond Issue, but we are bound to support it un til some one is able to show it up In a different light to what we now see It. Surely It cannot give us per fect roads, but It will certainly give us better roads. Certainly we shall not be able to macadamize all the roads In Union county any time soon, but we can grado them, put in permanent bridges and judicially work the worst places. In fact.even If the bond Issue should fall to give ua any better roads than we now have, It Is far preferably to the present system of working the pub lic roads. The free labor system Is especially objectionable for sev eral reasons. First, Involuntary free labor, except os a punishment for crime, is repugnant to any free people, and it Is a question as to whether it is constitutional. In the next place freo labor on the public roads is becoming more and more Inefficient. The road hands will not work to any advantage and are con tinually getting up quarrels and hard feelings. But perhaps the most objoctiona ble feature of all Is that which takes the boys under twenty-one years of ace out of school to work tho public roads. The State taxes her peopio for the purpose of main' talnlng public schools to educate her boys and then takes them out of school to work the public roads and to become contaminated with tho vulgarity so prevalent on such occasions. Is there any sense or Justice in such a law? The bond issue docs away with all thto therefore I must vote for the bond issue. 'Tis true we might work our roads altogether by taxation with out tiny bond Issue, but that would incur a hardship on the taxpayers especially within the next fow years, as the road tax would have to be greatly Increased In order to raise enough money to help tho roads much any time soon. After wo ex pend the bond issue and get them In a fairly good condition, it will not cost a great deal to keep them up. I can see why a man past road ago and who has accumulated a considerable amount of property might oppose the bond Issue from purely selfish motives, but how any young man of limited means can oppose It, I am unable to under stand. Suppose he Is worth $1000 Under the present system he gives six days free labor which at the very lowest estimate Is worth $4.60 Ho also pays 45 cents poll tax for road purposes and $1.60 road tax on his property. So he pays a poll Rnd property tax of $1.95. which ad ded to his free labor makes a total of $6.45. Suppose the bond Issue carries and the commissioners see fit to go to the limit of road tax, which Is T6 cents on the poll and 25 cents on the $100.00 worth of property what would his road tax be? Add $2.50 property tax to 76 cents poll tnx and you have a total of $3.25. Subtract this from $6.45 which you now pay and you have saved $3.20 annually by the bond Issue. Will it pay you to vote for bonds? So fr'ends, we leave the question with you, hoping that you will con sider it carefully and vote as your judgment may direct. But let me suggest that you study the question carefully for yourself and don't be prejudiced through the Influence of a few so-called leaders who study but one side of the question and have decided that the present sys tem of working the public roads Is good enough for them. T. J. HUGGINS. I am In favor of the bond Issue for two reasons," said Mr. Henry Godfrey of Sandy Rldge. "One Is because we need tho roads io bad. The other Is that it will do away with free labor. I don't believe It Is right fir a man who owns no ve hicles and doesn't use the road to work It for those who do. We can never have better roads till we get different system, therefore I will vote for a change." At the Pastime tonight. The Sol dier's Ret urn. a fine war drama, and Curing a Reckless Student.

Hinson. nheriff of Rich mond county, who died of heart failure last Tuesday morning, was a native of Chesterfield county, lean ago he lived awhile In Mon roe. going from hire to Rocking ham. The Korklnghani Post says: "About four o'clock that morn ing, in answer to his direct ques tion, the physicians told htm there was little chance for his recovery. He at once went about making prep arations for the end as calmly and deliberately and with the same good business judgment for which he has always been noted af he were go ing to take an ordinary trip. In the short 120 minutes of life left to him, he summoned his three ex ecutors, Messrs. John L. Everett. A. W. porter and Carl Shores, to his beside and made a will of one of the largest estates ever accumulated in the county, had it read to him, ex pressed his satisfaction with the same, and with bis mind clear and composed to the very last, passed off queitly and peacefully within 30 minutes. "Sheriff Hinson was In his forty-' eighth year, and bad started life "V a poor boy, with little advantage in the way of an education. He cam to Rockingham when 20 years old from Monroe, and began work at a livery stable for $4 per month. By his industry, close attention to bus iness and raro business judgment he accumulated property conservative ly estimated at about $200,000. He was a life-long Democrat, and had a genlua for politics and a strong hold upon the affections and es teem of the people. "He was elected sheriff of the county In 1904 and was re-elected three times since without opposition. He made one of the finest officers In the State, and It is safe to say that he could have been the officer as long as he desired It. He was Im partial In his execution of the law having a strong sense of duty and was a terror to the blind tigers and blockaders of the county. "Sheriff Hinson was one of the largest plnnters in this section of the State, raising from 1.600 to 1,800 bales of cotton a year. In addition he owned a great deal of valuable town property, several mer cantile enterprises and one of the handsomest business blocks here, built less than two years ago. Sher iff Hinson was big and broad of heart a,i well as of body. Ho was a man of generous impulses and many charities. He never closed his ears or shut his purse to any nppeal for contribution for any good cause, church, school, good roads, public- spirited enterprises, the relief of suffering or the uplift of humanity. He will be sadly missed In a com. multy from which denth has already taken heavy toll In the past year in the passing of Cnpt. W. I. Everett A. S. Dockery, Robert A. Johnson and Col. H. C. Dockery. "Sheriff Hinson Is survived by his wife, who was .Miss Blanche Short, a little son of three years of age, his mother and several brothers nnd sisters." Cases Tried in Court. Judge Whedbee, who was holding a two weeks' term of court for the trial of civil cases, adjourned last Thursday, having finished tho work Mr. C. E.

Whenever you have a live news item send on first mail, and if pos sible It wl'.l go Into the paper even at the last moment. But the point is, don't hold bark letters until the last day. They usually have to go over and are sometimes out of date by next issue. And mark this: If you hear of a marriage, death, accident, or any sort of a live news item, write a postal card by first mail or use the phono. Dou't hold that live Item until it ceases to be news to got some other it ems to go with it. Write when you have news. If the Items are not perishable matter news that will rease to be news if held a day or two it Is all right to wait until you have enough to make up a let ter. But If the item is a live one. such as indicated above, send it while it Is frebh. If It is only a few lines. Don't hold it until It loses Its freshness. The Journal appreciates the work of Its correspondents. They help to make a live paper and without their help The Journal would suf fer. In addition to the news items, put In a paragraph occasionally about the feeling of your com munity as to public matters, if you know what that feeling is. The Journal would be glad for its con stituents to occasionally express their sentiments about public mat ters. The Journal wants a live cor respondent In every community. If your community is not represented, let some one volunteer. It is a material help to any community to be represented in a newspaper, as well as a material help to the pa per. Write the office If you want to act as correspondent; and whether you want to become a reg ular correspondent o r not If you hear an item of news, write, 'phone or send word. Writes letters in Itelialf of Prisoner Tom Davis, the young negro now serving a sentence of 18 months on the chain gang for robbing the medical depository, has some friend on the outside who is writing let ters In his behalf. He addresses his epistles to Superintendent B.T. Fletcher and throws them in the hitter's yard. So far ho has writ ten three letters, the burden of which are that it's a pity to be working a "poor Innocent negro like Tom who don t know nothing about it." The writer of the let ters also avers that he is the fel low who committed the crime, that he alnt no nigger,-neither, and he can write a lot better than he is do ing, but doesn't want to do bo for fear Laney will get on his track Capt.

Sholud the horse, mulo and ox have a paved way to walk on? Men, that is for you to determine. Are you willing to remove the stones, fill up the holes and miry places that cause these animals to stumble and make the roads level so that they ran rarry their loads In Bafety and not stumble? Why should they have good roads and their burdens made lighter? Because these animals belong to God not to man. Man la the user. God made them; they are servants. God made man also. He to a ser vant; he too belongs to God, as other animals do. Now I have shown you that the horse, mule, ox and man nro all servants together: one as low as another; one as high as tho other; God rules over them all. Why did rot God put the ox to rule over the ranle, horse ni.d man? Why did not God give the cx man's voice so he could rule over man, horses nnd muls as mnn runs over them? Why did not God give the horse, mule and ox arms nnd fingers that they might beat man jvith a stick as he has beaten them; that they might gouge man's eyes out, leave him blind us man had left them, that they cou'.d overload a frail man "to rull that heavy load ns he his fraih'd them, drive man over brlitra and ihi-rns ns ho has driven them, that they might put man In cruel hands as he had put them, that they mlsht drivo man r. 11 nay long till over in the night, give him nothing to eat or to drink ns he had done them, that they might hitch crippled man up to a plow, beat him to pull his load, even if his life is a burden to him. Doth God enre for an ox? Who knoweth whether the soul of man goeth upward and the soul of boasts downward? Thou shalt not muz zle the ox that treadeth out the corn. In due time you shall reap that which you have sown. Man, have you given theso ani mals their part of their labor that Is their portion, as you would have them do unto you. Have you rul ed over them as you would have them rule over you?? If you have cared for them as you would have them care for you. If you have been merciful to your beast as you would have him be to you, If you have done these things, well and good. If not. sin lies at your door, and in due time you will reap what you have sown.
