am so glad you have opened the

problem; and I do .wish ; there were

Dear Sir, it seems to me I have never.
seen or-known sucVroads during the
fifty eight, years I have lived ;iri
the County, for when we worked the
roads under the eld system' I think
theyj were gone oyer at : least twice ; a
year, ana some of the worst mud holes
afid gullies filled to keep wagODS f rom
turning wrong side up. ;But to tell
you the, truth;' there is some roads in
our part of ; the connty "that does not
haye the appearance'of ;f ever being
worked atail, and I "find;by observa
tion that it will be imppossible ;for
the few hands that have hot paid the
two dollars" to keep ihe roads in good
condtion by working four days in the
year, and ,the;h1ost, Orjthernclare
they will not work for less, than on?
dollar per day while I :see .thafrour
Cbunty Supt'. is wanting to hire hand!
at seyenty five cents.?:' So -here comes
th e burde h, if the roads are kept in
good condition. wages will have to be
raised to get hands tp work, ; copse
quently more tax will .have to be
levied. Then;Vhere, oh where,4 wiU
the poor man be when his taxes get
so high he can hot - pay them? 1
Now kind- Sir, let' me say to all
Jhat are concerned in the matter that
I am not the only one to declare that
the next man that comes out seeking
a seat in the next Legislature, seven
intimating that be is in favor of the
present road law, will have to hunt

" NoW Mess. Editors," if you think it'
presumntious to let the ; people see
what this poor ignorant - clod nocker
has to ; say on this important subject
but only plead "forr right and justice, y
desiring that the people have a voice
in-the.making of our r laws at least.
I do love to eee ood roads, but I am ; -not
in- favor of - the present system, '
because the roads in some parts of
the county will have to v be neglected. '
while other prts will almost have a -turnpike.
