This is to serve notice upon the
citizens of Macon county that as fast
av can be done, the county roads
sill be measured and allotted off in
sections for the purpose of offtrin
tliein to the people to be bid on
compctetivcly for their upkeep. The
roads will be allotted off by town
ships, and when a township is al
lotted off it is then open for bidsi
Each section will have a grade peg
. containing number of section and
mileage. This is alf the notice 1
trill give ' and, please be prompt in
.mailing in your bids to me.
When all bids. are. considered, I
wiU- select the most favorable ones
and mail them a contract, something
as follows:
I, John Doe. of Franklin, N. C,
Millshoal Township party of the first
part and C. W. Tcague, Road Super
visor for Macon county, party of
tfce second part, do hereby enter into
an Agreement where' the afore said
John Doe party of the first part,
does agree to take section .35 of
county roads lying in Millshoal Township-
and keep same well drained,
dragged .'and in good passable con
dition during this present road year
which expires .on March 1, 1930. I
further agree to leave it up to the
aforesaid, road . supervisor and the
two advisory committeemen of said
township as to whether or not I
have kept my said section faithful
according to contract, and in the
oent I have not I would not be
entitled to receive any pav for said
work, otherwise I would be entitled
to receive $ for such work. I
further agree . to be advised by said
Road Supervisor as to the manner
in which .such,, work is done. And
, it, is agreed that I have nothing to
do with the upkeep of bridges and
culverts except to keep the approaches
ill good condition ' and culverts and
tile free from becoming clogged so
that water can have free access to
pass through. I further,; 'agree to
wait until 1929 taxes arc collected
or so much thereof topiy off the
county road claims for this insuing
year for my pay. But in case it
spits me to do so, I reserve the
right to , apply said claim or so
stnch as may be necessary on my
taxes. v
The said C W. Teague, Road
Supervisor party of the second t part
agrees after aforesaid section ' has
been carefully gone over and all low
j Ijccs which lias I t e n funned l y
sta.'Jiuy water or otherwise, filled
with dirt or gravel, he is then to
put on the road machine doing all
necessary ditching and .smoothing that
can be practically done with such
machine, and in accordance to ' the
importance of (thc road. Said super
visor further agrees that in case of
an unusual wash out, which would
cause great , damage to any section
of , road, which would be beyond the
reach of the amount allowed for
such section or sections to in. some
way take care of the situation so
that contractors, of such sections
would not sustain ny great loss.
Said Road Supervisor further agrees
to put all county road tools (except
the three tractor machines) in the
care of the advisory committee of
each township and they are to be used
by the contractors of the township
in which they formerly belonged under
the supervision of such advisory com
mittee and there shall be a list
made of such tools and charged to
said contractor and he is held re
sponsible for their safe delivery back
to the advisory committee at th
time designated by, him. 'Other 'than
this the contractors are to - furnish
their own equipment to be used in
the upkeep of their sections.
It is further agreed that one con
tractor may have, more 'than one
section but must bid pn each section
separately. 'Said supervisor reserves
the right to accept or reject any and
all bids. (.
Remarks
It is my desire to get this road
problem within the next six weeks,
so that it will go automatically, then
I will go back to my calling and dig
my living out of the soil and let
you fellows go on with the road
work. I haven't the time to devote
to it and it doesn't suit me. The
only reason I do it is from the
fact that our representative, Mr. J.
A. Porter in his cool judgment and
without any solicitation from me made i
the appointment. And I have too
much love and respect for him to
completely lie down on him. You '
realize it as -well as" I do that we
are very - much handicapfcd on ac
count' of finances. ,
However, I trust that we can work
co-operatively and make a record
we will not be ashamed of.

any or all of "the new members
voting for Mr. Hillings as they had
pledged their word to nie that they
would not vote for ' him.'
Major Harris, Editor of The
Franklin Press, and as I 'understand
reporter for the Asheville Citizen of
the Macon county news, reports an
harmonious re-election of Mr. Billings
on the part of the "Board, and that
it is understood that I was not now
objecting to the re-election of Mr.
Billings. This report ia not true in
so far as it states that I am "Not
now objecting to the appointment of
Mr. Billings." I am still standing
on this question in the same 'position
I was when before you in the cam
paign last, fall, and assure you that I
made the appointment in good, faith.
I feel that I should make this
nublic explanation' to the people of
Macon county in fairness to myself
and those who sunnorted rhr" in the
recent election, i If I failed to re
move Mr Ballings from the office of
County Superintendent it is due to
the fact that I believed the i three
new members of . the Board would
keep their promise to me not to
vote for Billings, and I also thought
that the two old members of the
Board would respect the wishes of
the majority of. the voters of the
county. ' '
Very truly,

A Letter To the Voters
Of Macon County
, Franklin, N. C April 22, 1929.
Voters of Macon County:
You will recall, the fact that I
ran for the office ot Representative
for Macon County last fall on the
publicly avowed platform that I would
put Al. JJ. billings, Lounty superin
tendent of Schools, out of office. I
was elerfpd hv an overwhelmirnr ma-
. 7 j - .- a .
jonty on that platform. I placed on
the countv Board of Education nnp
"member, Lawrence Ranisey, who was
nc nnated m the Democratic Con-
ve- tion of the county. In addition
to this I increased the Board from
three to five apd appointed Davis
Dean and Dr. Furmah Angel as
new members of the Board. All of
the new members, Dean, Ramsey and
Angel gave me their word of honor
as gentlemen that they would not
vote to retain Billings as County
Superintendent. '
I also appointed on the Board two
former members. Dr. S. H. T.vV A
Alex Moore, as I did not wish to
antagonize these men by removing
them, and particularly not wishing
to hurt the fcelintrs nf Dr T v1
has been my best friend and family
physician. I realize now that I
made a mistake in not rpmmlno- it.ri.
