the aid bill which was all these people
asked to guarantee the building Of the
road. The members of the upper coun-
tics, despite the protests of their con-
stituents, voted for the bill and now four
months have passed aud because the road
will not zigzag TO every mans door the
people Of the lower hundreds refuse 10
raise the $4,000 and expect foreign CAPT
talists to build it for them. Now the men
who secured the passage of the act did 80
in good faith and they will never consent
for the money to he drawn from the State
Treasury until the people do their share
and keep their plighted faith to the State
