A more ex tended notice will be given in our next issue. New Road Lawfor Wilkes. Under the new road law passed by the last General As sembly for WiLfcesCQunty, the .commissioners have wisely ex ercised their discretion in the levy of a special road tax of 10 cents on the hundred dollars valuation of w property. - That means, of course, that the county necessarily goes under the new law. The law provides for the appointment of a coun ty supervisor, skilled in the modern methods of road build ing, who will have the super vision of the roads generally, It also provides for the appoint raent of township supervisors, who will have immediate su pervision of the roads in their .respective townships, such as the repair of the old roads, etc. The law further provides for the purchase of road machin ery, a convict force, etc. T he leavy will raise some two or three thousand dollars. This, of couree, is only a begin ning, but it is a most important beginning. It betokens the dawning of a new day for our splendid and historic old coun ty . It is a measure that will constantly grow in public fa vor as the years go by. There are those, to be sure, who will attempt to disparage the new system, because of the addi tional tax it entails, but their number will constantly de crease. It behooves the men of each community, men of faith and courage, to promptly live up in energetic support of the new system, fcr the old system has proven no better than a snare and delusion. The roads of the county are now a disgrace to tho county. The people know the old system is a dead failure and therefore they have no respect for it. As a result of this lack of re speet, when the supervisors or overseers are indicted for non performance of their ,duties they are promptly acquitted, for courts and juries know that the avstem is more to beJ blamed than the men appointed to carry it out. Men have long, been taught not to expeot figs: to grow on thorns. Practical ly all the more progressiv-e counties have already aban doned the old system for .a more efficient system of some sort or other. I,et the commissioners .ajre-. fully iostall the new sysJiem, look ahead, and they will ssry, their -day and generatisn jyell. m - m 11 -rMr. R. Xt.

C.'Cayioess w.ent to New ton last Saturday to appear b,e fore Judge W. B. Councill in the bearing oi the No. Wilkes boro waterworks injunction case. The injunction proceed ings were dismissal- Jt.has -often been .charged that ct he republican organisa tion of Nosth Carolina, is a close corporation. In policy and practice ifc.resernbles one very much. Apparently it does not grow because its board of di rectors does not want it to grow,. To be sure, it whoops up-the boys during the cam paigns for appearances sake,; but as a constructive party it is heartless and perverse. It closes its ey;es to opportunity,' often it hoodwinks itself and .mocks of the. ad vice of friends out8idetae State. This does not apply to local conditions, when there -is a fair .chance to' elect a .republican to office. The republican loves an office too well for this. - Jt is meant to apply o the state organiza tion. Modern political conditions have evolved a new product. This new product is called a near-republican. The average organization republican fears a near-republican as much as the corn-field nigger fears a grave-yard ghost. President Taft bas been preparing a me dium for the propogation of' this new political organism This is alarming to the organi zation republican, for he ,does not want to see this new spe cies multiply in the land Therefore something must be; done to counteract this new and strange tendency. So Congressman Cowles, training with the organization crowd, introduces a bill into Congress to reenact certain sections of the Federal Statutes passed in reconstruction times and for , reconstruction purposed. He-1 says they are needed to regu late electionsln the South, and are otherwise harmless Their enactment will regulate elec tions in the south all right enough, 'that is, they rill regu late them to the extent of frightening all newly hatched I out and many frying size near republicans back into the dem ocratic coop. Those statutes may be harmless euough, but they are disreputable enough. They are odius tofche people of the south because they were born of odius times. A more effectual .cbecjc to republican growth 4n this State cannot be thought of than to go this mal odorous charnel bouse of re construction -times, and fish out an uncanny skulk put it on a pole and parade it up and down in the state. Of course the jpeole wiill take fright at? it. In tbese modern times it does not take much to produce a poltt ic&l -stacfa pe&e . SEPTEMBER 24, 2.9, 30.
