" The road question ha8 been' agita

that for the better. Especially in

of Oommi8sioners made a wise selec-'
tiou when they appointed Mr. Wnr.
King superintendent of district-'No,

di 1 igen t, energetic and in d tf? tri o u s
man, a man who does not fear work
himself, and alwavs has '& V job -for
those around him, 1 by this i he is put
ting his roads ia a good condition.
I don't mean to say in- a first-clasd
coudition, but so much better than
they have been we think it good.
If all the superintendents . in Ihe
county will compete with ours, with
the help of superintendent , Moore
and his chain-gang, in two more
years we would have good roads, and
I think the majority of the men. who
have been opposed to working the
oads by taxation will vote for Hon.
J. A. Long arid Mr. W. T. Bradsher
to go back, to the Legislature .and:
make another law .to be ..joriticised
