OUR HANDED INTERESTS.
We learn that counties owning

hardship on some o; cur best citizens
and may DO the Caase of losing thei,
farms. We can 1ot understand ths
policy OF oar counties f0rcin :
payments on which tSo rate al
intsrset Is 10 por cent. when

0UpERNAToRIAL.
There are many people in Lime
stone county who would like 20 sup.
port Sui Ross for governor, bat they
will never do it as long as Ross pins
his political faith to that coterie of no
litical maneuyeroTs who arc afraid of
the pSople, and whose avowad pur.
pose is to rob them Of the right OF local
government Ia dealing with The
whisky traffic, by an absolute repeal
OF tue iocal-Option law, or such modifi-
ealionn OF it as would result in its prac-
ticai hnllihcstion. These men nSye
no confidence in the masses, and they
are going to try 10 take from them
what voice they have directly in

OUR ROAD LAW.
The papers are iull 81 criticisms of
tho road law, but thus far most of them
have only developed q capacity to tear
down-which is rather low order OF
talent. What VIC want to SEQ ia an edl-
tor who will bound 20 the front with
the draft Of new and better road law,
That would be the best criticism OF the
existing law that could possibly be
MADE. The present road law is the
pStchwork Of half dozsD Legislatures
and iss, OF course, not psrgeot. The
msln tauit SO far found with it appears
10 DC tnat it provides for working the
roads by compelling zach man 90 labor
10 many days. instead Of by taxation.

LOOK OUT FOR SQUALLS.
The Reporter predicted war betw cen
