Pbidai MBACH 3, 1905 THE BILL AND THE PETITION. In other columnM we find in full the'Murtin Ouonly Road Bill, as drawn by Senator Stubbs and Representative Cof field. The Bill speaks for itself. We print in full form a Peti tion to the General Asrei»bl> singed by citizens of Williams ton Township and community. The Petition explains its object There is in the object of the Bill and the Peti tion. Both provide for the roads by taxation. The Bill pro vides for the keeping up ol roads of the county. The Peti tion provides for the building of roads for the township and tax for keeping ihem up alter built, pay the intert Ht and re deem the bonds. The main roads lending out of Williauiston arc the „worst in the county. They are .so bud as to form a fortress around tin town keeping out travel, transportation and business. Register of Deeds Manning was recently talking with far mers who live near the Heau fort line. hin that cottou sold one eight of a coiit less iu Washington than here yet they were forced to carry their cottou to Washington he cause the roads were so bad they couldn't get to Williams ton. A farmer who signed the Petition said we noetl roads more than anything, that an empty cart was a good load on the roads he drove over Jlo Williamston. Freight rates here are only one half to what they are in many places that do twioe our business or even any place in our countv. Witli good roads the peop'e could get tin the beuefit of those low rates and the town and county the beuc6i of the businei-s. With good | roads farut ,>rodiicts would be brought here from a large territory. The s raiglit euing of an old road and mak ing it shorter by one mile puis the projective businesses one mile nearer. We cannot say how much nearer good roads would put it. With good roads the farmers could haul fertili sers during rainy aeaaonH and be prepared for farm work when dear weather comes. As it is nethiug at all is done. When summer comes driviug and hauling is so great a bur den ss now. Think of the hot sun and deep bed of sand. la it as good as mud ? Think of the'hlistering heat and burden of the load to the animal. We need camels from the desert of Sahara to endure it. The driv er almost suffocates in the shade exerting himself only to keep cool What must be the condition of the dumb , burden l>earer. Our humane spirit demand? better roads; our pleasure, out health, our business interest demand them, our Belf-respeci nvl progress detuaiid them Who can say aught again* them? The Petition started by th unanimous vote of the Mer chants Association at a coll meeting, was circulated aix days and sent to our Repre sentatives with one huiidr»» : and twenty signatures. 0n« hundred of these were citizem of the town and township, tht the others live on the edge o the township The I'eiitioi wan signed by every ol of biisii.ess men and citizen' Uhe citizen alone opposed tht bond issue, yet he favnreii roads by taxation. Thin Petition id the demand ot the people and something 1 mint be done. 6rm Trukla Firitin It needs but little foresight, to tell, that when your stomach _and liver are badly affected, grave trou ble is ahead, unless you take th« proper tnediciue«for you disease, as Mrs. John A.Young, of Clay, N.

Recently » committee from the Good 'Roads' Convention, held at Danville 011 January 21st, went to Mecklenburg county, North Caro lina, to investigate the roads of that community. Mr. W. N. Ruf fin, chairman of the committee, reports that the committee drove eight miles oyer a macadam road, which wu ten years old, and as smooth as brick-paved streets. He m«t a number of teams of various descriptions, and says that the con census of opinion among the dele gates was that on these roads the limit.of a load is what the wagon will l>ear. They were informed that the countv had in camp forty four convicts, the cost being twen ty tlire? cents per head per day for food, clothing and guard. Be sides the superintendent, there are four guards, who control the con victs without difficulty, and the system has proven to be sati»fae«o •y. Mr. RtifHn further reports iliat Mecklenburg county has built one hundred and forty-five miles of macadam road at a cost ot £400,000." Of this sum, 1300,0' o is paid to citizens of the couuty for supplies, and has, therefore come back into general circulation among the home people. The •oad tax in Mecklenburg county, which includes both roads and bridges, is twenty-five cents on Jtoo of assessed value, and Mr. K tiffin says that the increased value of lands has paid the coat of road improvement, the increase being not leSs than 50 per cent, and near the macadam road very much more. It is hardly necessarv to say that the people of Mecklenburg county pay this tax willingly- Most men are willing to pay for any desira ble public improvement, when they see a suitable retnrn on the invest ment. But when they know that the money which they are paying is wasted, naturally they are re sentful, and feel more like cutting the tax rate down than increas ing. We have spent enough mon ey in Virginia since the war to have given us a fine system of roads. But as a rule the counties have little or nothing to show for the money expended.—Richmond Times Dispatch. Subscribe for Tmt BMTKKPKISB Is It Own Hair? Do yon pia your hat to your ova hair?
