The New Road Law.-The Leg

The New Road Law.-The Leg
islalure in 1881 passed what is known
as "The Alternative Road Law" which
the voters of any county could adopt at
q general election. In 1854 Jefferson
county adopted this law. A marked
change in the method of managing the
roads under this law is the assessment
of 81 GO head-taX against every male in
habitant twenty-one years old, instead
OF requiring them to work upon the
roads. The charter Of the town Of
Charlestown, amended and re-enacted
i'm 1872, distinctly eXempts its inhahit-
ants from taxation for ordinary roads,
in consideration OF the town keeping its
own streets in order; the general law
also seems to exempt all towns on the
same principle. The County Court,
however, had the assessors charge this
tax against the people of the town as
well rs the country. As result of this
the Town Council, ut its last meeting,
directed that the corporation attorney,
Mr.. S. w. Washington, should take the
necessary legal measures to relieve the
taxpayers of the town of this burden,
and protect them in their chartered
rights Charle,town Spirit.
There has been great amount of dis
satisfaction expressed in this town in
regard to the same matter. We hope
some concerted action will be taken by
our citizens or by the Town Council to
protect the taxpayers from this unjust
taxation. We pay enough taxes now,
without having to help keep up country
roads. If we keep the corporation streets
and roads in good order it is as much as
should be expected.

Encouraging-W an editor re-
ceives such letters as the one from which
we publish an extract below, it is a
great help and encouragement, and is a
big offset to the many discouragements
and trials to which he is subjected. One
of our subscribers and friends in Penn
sylvania, a gentleman whose opinion is
worth having, writes;
"The weekly visits of your good pa
per are a source of much pleasure TO us.
Although from ten to twelve other pa
pers come to my table every week, your
own is the most eagerly read. For the
successful management of the REGISTER
YOU are entitled to hearty congratula-
tions. The merits of Il newspaper are
due very largely to what is kept out Of
its columns no less than to what is adj
mitted. In this particular, you have
shown commendable discriminating
judgment. You succeed well in giving
to your paper wholesome moral tone
by keeping it clean of the questionable
matter that finds so ready entrance into
nine-tenths of our county papers. Edi-
tors and publishers, as a rule, do not
appreciate fully the influence they WELD
in the way of shaping and directing the
moral sentiment of the community. |
am glad to see that you have such a
conscientious sense of the trust commit
ted to you. extend to you warm New
Year greetings, and with them my best
wishes for your continued prosperity
and long life of usefulness in the town
and community to which feel strongly
attached by many happy and cherished
memories. Very truly yours,

A WISE CAPTAIN.

A Nantucket steamboat captain was
once asked by a passenger on his BOAT
how much ardent spirits he used.
He replied, "I never drank a tea
spoon full of rum, brandy, gin, cider,
wine or beer; l never smoked or snuff
ed, and never drank tea or coffee"
"But," said the passenger, "what do
you drink with your breakfast"
"Cold water" vas the answer.
what do you drink with your din
ner?'
"Cold water"
"Well," said the passenger, "but
what do you take when you are sick!'
"I never was sick in my life," was
the ready and glad reply.
He was a wise captain. He was &C
customed to exposure in all sorts of bad
weather, wind and storm, and never be-
lieved in the foolish notion that he must
take a drop of spirits to "keep out the
cold"
Cold water was the drink of Adam
in Paradise. Cold water was the drink
of the children of Israel in the wilder
ness. Il was also the drink of Samson,
and of Daniel, and of John the Baptist.
1t is also the best drink for you.
