Convicts on the County Road.
The County Commissioners
met Friday and arranged?-to
work the convicts on the coua
ty roads. Thomas Cryseli has
charge of tbem Four convicts
were put to work Monday on
the river road at the ford of
Moravian; creek. THey are to
work out a mile on the princi
pal roads leading into the two
towns firsthand then .. an addi
tional mile, and so on. The
i. I4. T X TT - .
and Ruff Brown (the three last
are;negroes). Therje ite;;two
others, Bob Stamper and ?Felix
Owens, who will go on unless
they pay their fines soon. - p.
- This beginning at working
the roads with. convicts will be
the beginning of better roads
in the county. It will be some
expense to the county but that
is a necessity. It is a tax paid
by the entire county, but will
be only ;a small fraction above
what must be paid necessarily
for their maintenance in the
jail:,
; By theway, it looks like now
would be a good time for the
Commissioners to adopt the
Alexander' road: law,, which
gives every, townshipj a- right
to vote and levy a.f specials tax
to be used on the roads of the
Ltownship only. If this were
jH&he; then . ad an inducement
tne vjommissioners . coum ? efc
any township have the use.' of
the cpnvicts provided it ; will
pay the extra expenses - for
guards, etc. This ought-tO" bo
an. inducement to each town
ship to adopt t he pljan and j wq.
could tben soon have ' better,
roadsv Think about this.
