The road from old Lynnville up

Tuesday a jury met there to
Strengthen 1t and locate it near the
creek where gravel is abundant.
Miles Grigsby turned out Saturday
and in a few hours got 163 days
hauling subscribed and did not see
6 or s friends of the road. He safe
ly puts it at 200 days with wagons
and 20 loads per days--4000 loads
on the road, and these are the men
that will do all they promise and
more in this case. They are fully
aroused on the road question. II

oughly pike it.

McNeeley says that it is the first

Refund the Cotton Tax.

Iha excess of revenue over eX-
peness and the needed amount to
meet the interest on the bonded
debt has made a new question in
politics. The republicans have up
to now been able to dispose of and
pocket all excess, but they see the
inevitable result of the cry Eturn
the rascals out" and they are in
venting schemes fer a last grab at
the millions in the treasury. The
suggestion that it be parceled out
to the states according to Eopula-
ton, to scholastic population, to
illiteracy, etc, have each been adj
vocated and neither made popular.
We think there is an exact place
where part fthis money ought to
be deposited. After the war the gov
eminent collected about $70,OO0,-
600 from the south in a tax on cot
ton. There is not a sensible man
living to-day who will say that this
was either just or lawful. The on
ly hindrance to refunding it, or ex-
cuse for not doing it, is that the
persons who paid the tax cannot be
found. The people and communi
ties and states can be found and
they are entitled to restitution.
Let this surplus be appropriated to
refunding the cotton tax first. The
government owes the southern peo-
pie the full amount with interest

The CITIZEN prints yearly the re-
vised tariff of rates by the local
board of fire underwriters in Pulas-
XII. This year we note reductions
in the rates in several instances,
bat nothing like a general reduc-
ton. We remember distinctly the
memorable night at the courthouse
when the gas question was up and
there was so much feeling exhibit
ted, one Of the arguments used in
favoring the introduction of gas
was that it would reduce insurance
rates. Not only was it used in ar
gument, but one of the leading res
ident insurance agents made the
distinct announcement and promise
that the rate should be lowered.
They have not redeemed this pledge
only partially. We note in several
cases, however, where the nature of
the business materially lessons the
danger by the use Of gas that the
rate is reduced, as in the case of
the CITIZEN, where the reduction is
one quarter of one per cent. This
is the first tariff, however, since the
lighting of gas, and the reduction
is material already and will doubt
less continue as the gas comes into
more general use. The building of
our water works will be the
signal for a universal reduction and
we see no reason why it may not be
almost as much as the tax will be.
We ought to have little figuring
on this question. 1t may show that

ly save money-actualEy save money
