Troud of New Road
In a former communication to The
Journal I made the statement that
there was an area of 300 square miles
in lower Buford and Jackson town
ships without an improved public
road; that this section needed some
roads and demanded them. Now, I
hear nothing but praise and commen
dation. The people are as proud of
the roads which are now being con
structed as a young rooster is of his
first spurs. They say they don't
want any better ones but more like
'em. Then the road commission shares
largely in the praise and commenda
tion for the manner they are handling
the road business. In the first place
they offered the construction con
tracts to the lowest bidder and it mat
tered not who they were or where
they lived. Some farmers were' the
successful bidders on several sections
and in turn are employing farmers
and their teams. I talked to a farmer
contractor a few days ago and he
said he had paid to the people of
the community for labor around seven
hundred dollars in April. What is
true in this instance could have been
true all over the county and the two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
to be spent on the roads of the county
or at least a goodly portion of it
might have been paid to farmers and
in turn to farmers for labor. But,
no sir, Mr. Farmer, you did not offer
a bid, yet some gossipers say with
their voices tuned to high "G" that
the farmers should have had all the
contracts and received all the money.
The commission did and is doing its
duty and is doing it according to law.
It has no power to force a man to
do what he doesn't want to do. And,
if a citizen did not get a contract
for road construction it is because he
did not bid for it or did not hid low
enough. But some people will show
what a long-eared mule they are
anyhow.
Broom's Record Open
Wise, just, and constructive criti
cism is to be desired but the prejudi
cial kind that people have to tolerate
and be tormented by should be stop
ped. Usually the indulgent is of the
smallest calibre, the least desired
in his community, and is really
a wart on society. The recent criti
cism or gossip about Tom Broom is
pure "bosh." There is not a man in
the county that the
suction have more conlidence in. He
has been fair, just and honest in all
his work and dealings with and for
us: he has striven, talked, and a'moBt
at times persuaded the citizens of the
county to improve their living con
ditions as well as their farm lands
and stock. And, when he put his
records in the register of deeds of-
nce tor open inspection he threw
down the challenge to his critics and
for the office of Solicitor, subject, ; Chairman Scotland Co'. School Board.

We, the members of the Board of
Education of Scotland Countv, having
i known G. H. Russell for 25 years,
.during five years of which time he
; was County Superintendent of Schools
of this county, welcome the opportu
nity to endorse his candidacy for the
Solicitorship of this District. We feel
that the progress of the schools in
, this county is due as much to his
io ine cause or righteousness and
good government. He has, in the
past, served the public in a very abl
and acceptable manner as County Su
perintendent of Schools and as Reg
ister of Deeds of Scotland County for
several terms. He ranks high in tho
profession and is an able, painst: k
ing, forceful and fearless lawyer. He
has always been loyal member of
the Democratic party and has helc od

Poem

MARY'S DRESS
Mary had a low-neck dress which fitted to perfection, and
wore it everywhere I guess, against her Ma's objection. . . .
She also had an auto-car, which likely made her dizzy she
couldn't seem to jo nowhar, without the doggone Lizzy. . . .
She motored through the chill night ir, without regard to sea
son. . . . She didn't have no brains to spare, and never stopped
to reason. . .:. At last she cot a sneeze an' cough, which driv
people of this I her to a frenzy. The doctor which they called right off. De
nounced it influenzy!!
They put her in her little bed, while pangs of anguish filled
her. The blasted germs flew to her head, and mighty nearly
killed her. . . . But still the doctor lingered near, until he got
'em busted, and Mary's low-neck dress, I hear, has made him
plumb disgusted. And now, when Mary's out at night, her
collar-bone is hidden, and little Mary doth delight to do as she
is bidden.
