Editors OF the Register.
Our people are taking considerable in
terest in political matters, and always
look through the REGISTER to see whose
names ara proposed for State officers.
They desire to call special attention to
the name of one of our citizens, MIR. E.
l.. Bill, for the office of Auditor. No
better man for the position could be
nominated by the Democrats of the State.
Mr.. Bill has experience, integrity, and in
fact every qualification to make good
officer. There can be no sectional OBJ
lection to him. He would unite the vote
of the Democratic party-no Radical or
Independent candidate would divide the
Democratic vote against him.
There has been considerable excite
ment about the small pox in our county,
but the alarm of the people caused such
precautionary measures TO be taken by
our county court, that this dread intec-
tlous disease was confined to one case
and more than twenty days having
elapsed il is thought that the plague has
been stayed.
The hardness of the times and scar
city of money are much felt here, and
many of the people think we ought TO
have more of the United States currency.
But though they think sufficient curren-
ev to meet the requirements OF DuSi
ness" should be INSISTED upon by the
countrv. if tho Democratic National Con-
vention should think the currency.should
not be brought into the campaign for
President they will acquiesce. Give US
a pure Democratic ticket and we Will
be satisfied. We co-operated with the
Liberals four years ago, surely they
ought to cooperate with the Democrats
this year.
Our people are very indignant at the
Governors veto of the road bills. The
road from Charleston TO Elizabeth Is
necessity. \ very large extent ofthe
country here has no road over which the
farmer can transport his products to mar
ket. II Pa-kers burg and Charleston
were made accessible to our farmers, the
rapid Improvement of our county would
be secured, and it does seem strange
when the representatives of the people
whose especial duty it was to onsider
such matters, had determined to render
some asslstanccin the improvement and
DEVELOPMENT Of the country, that the
Governor. once more, should set himself
up against the people. If he does not
approve of the progressive feelings OF
the people, and does not care for the adj
vancemcnt and prosperity of our State
vhy might lie not have simply withheld
his Signature as he did to many other
bills that he allowed TO become laws, is
the query?
Rosne county is proud OF the efficient
services OF her representative, Hon. NJ.
Depuc. who worked so zealously and ef-
.ectively to secure and build the Char
lesion and Elizabeth road, and his intel
lirent attention to the business before the
Legislature. makes him a prominent can
didale for reelection. Our people say
well done, good and faithful servant,
and wish they could say the same tor the
Governor, but only anathamas are be-
slowed upon him.
Oranges of the IL. of p. are being or.
gaui2cd all over our county, and Will
doubtless prove O! great benefit to the
farmers. The politicians will doubtless
try 10 utilize them for their purposes, but
it. is THOUGHT that The farmers will not
allow the oranges to be used for political
purposes. The farmers ought to aid each
other in their great work, and cooperate
to secure prosperity aud the improve
.ment Of their farms, and to secure fnciIi-
lie, f.. marketing their surplu; products.
