LL BOND ISSUE FOR PUBLIC ROADS. One of the County's Leading Citi zens Makes the Suggestion. To The Editor: Jonhston County, to-day, is suf fering In a business way, on account *>f Had Koadi, throughout the entire County. It is my opinion, that this will continue to be the case, In ev ery wet spell, until a change is made in road working. I think the proper way to work the public roads is by taxation; and I am in favor of a bond issue for this purpose. I also believe it would be best to hold on to the board of township supervisors ?of public roads (the Magistrates of each township) to look after the bu siness. I^et out the roads, by sec tions, to the lowest responsible bid der, who should give bond for the faithful discharge of his duties, In a sum sufficient to secure best re sults, and each section of road to get Its pro rata part of the money rais ed for road work In the township, ac cording to the work required to keep t?ach section In good shape, and the section master be required to work first, where the work is needed most. We need u change in our methods ?of public road work. We must have change If we expect to be progres sive. Bad Roads Hinder Progress. I think it would be wise, for John ston County to have the present ses sion of the legislature to pass laws in regard to bond issue, for public road work, and the moBt economical management of the same. I make the above suggestions to put the ball In motion, with tho hope that some wiser head than mine, will lake the matter up, and press it to the point needed, that we may be able in the near future to enjoy taaving good roads throughout our 'grand old county. Would be glad to hear from others. J. H. SMITH. Elevation Township. Parody on "Don't Want the New County." We, tho people of this rich land. The Lord Is sure to bless; S"or we have no evil at our hand To bring trouble and distress. A new county Is all we need, And Middlesex should be Its name. E?o not, dear people, our traducers heed. Nor tolerate the shame. *r this new county we should have, A court house fine we'll build; Oounty home, a jail-house, too. And all the obligations to be filled. We say the cost we do not fear? All other counties started thus. Then why should J. M. Eason shed a tear, Or Smithfield raise a little muss? We Middlesex folks don't have to borrow money, We've got It cash In the Middle sex bank, Stored away like a wild bee's honey, For this, our fertile lands, we thank. Now, if this county, we should get, Perchance old Johnston might have a regret. That her children would never see? A county as fine as ours would be. We'll run our lines Just where we please. 'Tls for a vote of the people. Before that class we'll fall upon our knees. To watch these votes go higher than a steeple. I We won't hurt dear Franklin, neith er kindly Nash; We won't eat sister Wilson alive? Wo don't want to hear their clash: Hut you bet our new county will thrive. Krlend Eason. a new county, we bad ly need; To get It we'll leave unturnod no idmne. For some things, such as poeta, we have no heed, But that county, Sir, we must have or break a bone. Here's to the county of Middlesex, Dark wooded dale, green hill that flecks With the blue of meeting skies 1 -Here our farmers bold, as you are eweetly told, 'W311 grow a bigger crop than you win erer swap, In joke or tale, or still-born cross roads lie.
