refused, thus allying himself

advising the bolters to hol

nominee, and elect their own

Letter Frm Utah.
Me. Editor: Please allow me room
in your paper for a lew remarks. , I am
truly ;i Wilkes boy but by chance have
wand ;red far away into the (now) .State
of Utah and the land of Mormanism,
but not a Morman and be it far from
me. But as I see in our little paper (I
call it ours because I am interested in
its milter) so much said against the
Popu ist party and ranking it with the
Republican party, I wish to say that
you are mistaken. They do not stand
with either of 'the two old parties; nei
ther lo they endorse what either of
them does outside of what is right and
for tie benefit of the masses of the peo
ple. Now in this country the Republh
cans have the Btory turned and say we
are lopulist-Democrats. But the whole
thini about it is simply this: The two
old parties are scared of us and are do
ing what they can to keep us down but
we are going to ! surprise you with a
powerful vote if not a President elected
this fall. We Populists want free silver
and we are going to get it. ,
Now let you people of, the South get
youi eyes open and help us in the West
and let us have good times 7 by ' helping
the poor people (of which I am one) get
moijey to pay their taxes without r hav
ing to sell their land and everything
elseTthey have to raise tax money. I
was born a Democrat anil remained one

'a kflrtiffs rotten from the foundation
and government getting worse Tall the

ecessity of Better Koad$.
Editos: The people of the two
ilkesboros as well as the people of
the county, have certainly had an ob
ject lesson this winter wkich fully il
lustrates the necessity of better roads
in Wilkes county, than those we are at
present blessed(?) with. And they
should now, if they ever intend having,
better roads, be getting together and de
ciding, on some line of action to secure
this much desired consummation, be
fore the rain3 and snows of another
winter again finds us with roads which
are veritable sloughs of despondency,
and quagmires of despair, when under
the mud and slush we can faintly hear
the wailings of the lost souls of those
who are compelled by dire necessity to
attempt to travel therein, and who if
so fortunate. as to get through them to
town and back to their homes, generally
get back, with only themselves, minus
self-respect, patience and almost reli
gion. This is . serious subject and one
that should receive rerious thought, and
then energetic, well directed action.
Our road system as at present con
ducted is a farce and a disgrace to even
a half civilized community, let alone
one that boasts as much civilization as
ours. Let us be up and doing. Now is
the time to work our road3 so we can
get them in good order and condition
before another winter comes upon us.
, Our Superior Court will of course have
a number of persons to deal with for
oSences against our laws as a all our
courts. A great many will he convict
ed and sentenced to jail to pay the pen
alty of their crimes and the costs of
prosecution.
Why shuld not our County Commis
sioners make t,he necessary arrange
ments to work these persons on our
public roads? They have the power
and the authority to do it, under two
statutes passed by the last Legislature,
and. why not do it, and thus put this
class of our population to some useful
work, instead of having them lying an
jil at a dead expense to the county?.
Bv'ery mile of road they build rightly
will be of lasting good to the count .
Under the provisions of chapter 283
laws of 1S95 the county commissission
ers.hkve.the power to work our crimi
nals, and also to work those from Alle
ghany, Ashe and Watauga if they, so
desire and will make the necessary ar
rangements. And any one familiar
with the amount of travel from these
three counties to the depot here will
readily see that by working their crimi
nals on our roads these counties will
reap as much of the benefit as we will
ourselves.
1 And I am not sure from the verbiage
of this chapter that we cannot make
Rutherford, Mitchell and Sampson
counties bear a prorata share of the ex
pense of working our roads. In this
respect it reads very much like the cel
ebrated act for the Improvement of
Stock in fhe county of Chatham, but it
may be that our members from this
county thus mixednhe verbiage of this
act for the pur pose hf getting help in
this matter from these counties.
But anything to get better roads, ei
ther thisact, or the general law as giv
en us in chapter 19-1 of the lawsof 1895
whereby we can levy a road tax by vote
of the county commissioners if they see
proper and also obtain twenty-five State
convicts, in addition to those' we may
furnish from our own county And a
the present Board of Commissioners
are to go out of office this fall, I trust
they will pardon?an humble citizen for
suggesting that they could leave no
greater monument to their wisdom, and
their care for the good of Wilkes coun
ty, than to put in operation a system of
working and improving and improving
our roads under the previsions of these
acts, and I can assure them that if they
will so do even the present, as well as
the future generations will rise up and
call them blessed
