Y PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
O WOOD ROADS
r We would again urge uponthe farmers and business men of
ytiie county the necessity forsome action regarding thebettering of the condition of our coun ¬
try roads Just now it is truethere is no necessity for any im ¬
inpravementI first class condition except per¬
haps the bottom road but thisshouldnot deter the good roafls
i enthusiasts from agitating thequestion and keeping it upper ¬
most 111 the mindsof the farmersWe should not follow the exam ¬
pIe of the Arkansas Travelerwho had a large hole in the roofof his house and which in film
weather needed no repairingand in rainy weather could notbe repairee because of the badweather While the roads arenow1n good condition we mustnot forget that the season is app paching when they are morethan likely to become impassi ¬
ble No man who has lived inthis county for any length oftime and who has ever had oc ¬
casion to traverse our roads dur ¬
fing the bad seasons but whoknows the necessity of a changeinthe system of keeping themin repair There are some whounable to see beyond the end oftheir noses endeavor to decrythe good roads movement butwe are happy to say that theseform a very small pertion of thei
population and generally theyhave no inrerest whatever intime matter except to be knock
ting They are small potatoesauti few in a hill
As to the means to be adoptedl
for bringing about the desiredI
end honest differences of opinion exist and each and every-one of these are entitled to tinsame consideration that is askedI
for the scheme that has found1
publicity through the columns ofthe Courier The plan is notI
V ours rwe wish we could truthfully say it wasbpt is the re-
sult¬
of concentrated thought andlI
experiment of men who havegiven the subject their closesttattention and study for yearsand are acknowledged authori-ties
¬
on it We sincerely believe-
th t the direct taxation plan offkeeping up the voids is the bestthat has so far been proposed I
and are consequently heartily infavor of it Should another planbe proposed which promised bet¬
ter results for the amount f money expended and which would1
give more satisfaction to thosedirectly interested we wouldhave no hesitancy in advocatinit as strongly as we have the direct taxation plan
That something needs to bedone there is hardly a man todispute The question is 7 how
4Shall it be done Upon thisquestion some sort of an agreemeet could be arrived at by aseries of mass meetings held iinthe different precincts of tincounty By tills
jmeans dele-

Several weeks 11107 when thename of Ollie James was firsmentioned in connection withl
being a delegate at I1aoSt Louis c invention the questionas to wliDtn he favored for thenomination was raised in manysections of the district A nullher of newspapers have undertaken to dodge the question for-

daring that he will support thenominee This statement madewith an evident intention of hid ¬
ing the name of his favorite tak ¬
en in connection with the facttthat Mr James has been opegl-
avoringcharged with the nomi ¬
nation of Mr Hearst and hisstudied silence upon this veryimportant mutter has led manyof his friends hereabouts to ques ¬
