DIED..

At the residence OF its parents. in this
district, on Oct. 27th, 1899. ANNA ELI.
ZABETH, daughter of VIM. A. and Anna
Hammond, aged 8 months.
Died, Tuesday, Oct. 90, 1889, at "Dray-
den," MARY ALICE, beloved wife OF
George Edwards. in her 21st year.
As wife, she was faithful and true. AZ
q daughter, she was kind and affectionate.
Living in retired rural community. far
from the din and excitement of the noisy
city, around her hearthstone neighbors
loved 10 gather. Unpretentious but warm
hearted, she strove to make them happy by
kindness congenial. Baptized in early in
fancy and confirmed at sixteen, the inter.
vening years were marked by conscien-
tious discharge of Christian duties. Only
last June abe was solemnly united in HOLY
Matrimony with her chosen life partner,
and looked forward with reasonable hope
to many years of domestic happiness; but
alas alas death, the swift messenger
came and called her away, we hope and
believe TO the bosom of God. To her hns.
band and aged parents, there is much com.
fort in the thought of joyful reunion and
recognition in the spirit land.

OUR ROAD SYSTEM.

MeSSTs. Editors Il notice in your
last issue now before me that onr new
friend Mr.. G. III. Lucas, who has re-
ceutly purchased a home in our coun-
ty, advertises for a "fat-bottom boat,
TO survey the public road from his
house to Mr.. John Cryer's store" I
infer from this that the road in his
neighborhood is in about the same
condition as in other sections of the
county through which have trav-
eled. Winter is fast approaching and
/ must say that / have never seen the
roads in such condition at this time
of the year. 1t is now too late to
mend them. and | venture to say that
before Spring there will be many
places through which a vehicle can.
not pass, and yet we have about one
hundred and fifty road supervisors
duly appointed by the Honorable
Board of Commissioners for The pur-
pose of constructing and superintend-
ing our highways. It.is to be hoped
that the new Board will adopt road
system different from the present
method; if not the taxpayers should
openly protest against its continuance.
for they certainly have a right 10
complain, knowing that their money
Is squandeFed for political purposes.
A few days agOI heard gentleman
say that from his house to Leonard.

town, distance Of six miles, there are
fge road supervisors. This proves con-
clusiysly that ! have good grounds
upon which to base my assertions
when ! say that they are appointed
for party purposes, and ask in good
faith is il necessary TO have 80 many
supervisors? Gould not the work be
better expedited with ten or fifteen
instead OF one hundred and fifty? l.
there any man in this community who
would prefer in his own affairs to
keep separated accounts with ten
men il one could accomplish the work
as well ? The supervisors, go I have
been informed by some Of them, are
instructed. when acting in their off,
cial capacity, not to work less than
three hands; Now, it is q well known
fact that they seldom exceed that
number. no matter how big the Job
of work may be. The result is that
the actual workers receive three dol
lars for the days work. and the SD.
pervisor gets one dollar and fifty
cents. just one-half the sum that 10
paid for labor on the-highway, or one
third of the full amount taken from
the county treasury. IF this is not
haghacay robbery in the full sense of
the word I would like for some one
to give me a better definition.
No business man who has his inter-
est at stake would care to pay thirty
three and one third cents to see sixty
six and two-third cents worth of road
work done, or force upon his county
labor at full prices, which he as an
individual would reject or refuse to
employ except at reduced wages. I
can cite an instance where a supervi.
sor employed three hands to do
piece Of work which took him four
days to accomplish. To my certain
knowledge he could have gotten hands,
enough the first day to have finished
it If had so desired. AS it was the
supervision of the work amounted to
six dollars, whereas he would have
been entitled to one dollar and fifty
cents. / reported this to two Com
missioners in the presence of the su-
perviscr, yet they did not even repri.
mand him. The man is to-day SUI
pervisor. In justice to the present
Board. however, I will say that this
happened several years ago. It ia
frequently the case, however, and the
fact is well known TO many that su-
pervisors are often net on the road rs
late as 9 o'clock going to their work.
Times are hard and getting worse,
every thing that we produce has. de-
preciated ia value, and we would like
to see corresponding reduction in our
county expenses. This can be done by
adopting different road system, and
reducing the number Of road super
visors. This alone would obyiate the
necessity of frequent meetings on the
part OF the Commissioners, ard there
by lessen their per diem. blessing
which would be welcomed at least by
the taxpayers. 1t would also be well
to review our pension list and strike
off those who have no right to be on
it, and compel some who are now in
The almshonse to earn their living.
We respectfully call the attention of
the new Board TO the facts mentioned
above and earnestly ask them to ex.
ercise that economy in our county af.
fairs which we as individuals are
forced to practice at our impoverished
fresides.
Respectfully,
A PLoUGHMAN.

WHAT SHALL We DO ABOUT IT !


For nigh on 10 10 twenty years the
Democrats Of Maryland have been
striving to break the political bands
which bind the negro 10 the Republi-
can party and to induce sae race to
discriminate in voting. We are now
