Looking over the field in this

the Democracy is not so har
monious as it should be to in
sure success, besides the dis
sentions and dissatisfaction en

an act of
The Month of Wilson Road.
The Commissioners were
L beseiged at last meeting with
a bundle of petitions against
the new road from North
Wilkesboro to the Moutin of
Wilson. It was estimated that
there were 500 names signed to
the petitions, asking the Corns,
to recind the order for the road.
-IS
But the Corns, have no author
ity in the matter,
was laid off under
the Legislature, jwhich act des
ignated the hands to work
theron, the only province of
the Corns, was to appoint over
seers, which was made their
r duty by that act. If there is
fault to be found in the matter,
it is the Legislature, not I the
Corns., that is amenable to crit
icism, f - I : ' !
We are 'and always have
. been in favor, of better roads.
This act is commendable in
that it contemplated better
roads, and it is veryj .deficient
and unwise in other ways. , It
contemplates a road, but makes
no amply provisions to accom
plish the matter- contemplated.
It gives the Corns no discretion
or sufficient jurisdiction in 'the
matter. It makes no proviso
ion for the necessary expenses
of building the road,' - such j as
for tools, carts, blasting pow
der, etc. The Corns. ! cannot
pay such expenses, as they
have no jurisdiction till the
road is completed and I . turned
over to the county and accept
ed. There is no provision suf
ficient to complete the work.
It is to be completed in 1 year
said damages tp be ascertained j by two
disinterested freeholders, to be selected
by the owner and said impounder, said
freeholders to select an umpire,' if they
cannot agree, and their decision to bo
final. :-
