to save enough in the time and wear OF
meu, horses, harness and wagons to-
equal the interest, assuming that a fair
days work should average fifteen miles
OF hauling and be worth So per load Of
whatever weight?
The subject Is really not open to ar
gument Every one recognizes the bene-
fits and economy OF good roads, bat
their cost has hitherto stood in the way
Here, of all parts OF the Union. they are
most needed and could be most easily
constructed. The land being level, will
require none of the cuts and grading IS
in the west, and gravel can be obtained
easily and ut small cost. AS for the dirt
roads orr winter rains and the sticky
condition Of the clayey soil make them
terrors, - indeed, during our rains,
rendering hauling impossible at certain
seasons of the year, and expensive at all
times
We know of no matter that can be
agitated to greater advantage than that
of good roads. 1t is well enough TO build
more railroads to transport our products,
but they viii yield but portion of the
benefit they ought 10 unless they are
supplemented by roads extending through
all portions of the South The South,
which is attempting so many great un-
dertakings, should attack this serious
prOblem-the construction of better high

Good Roads.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
The Southern papers are again calling
the attention of the states and counties to
the generally bad condition of the roads
in this section and urging that some i'm
provement be made in them. By the
construction of our railroads, we have
greatly improved the means and reduced
the cost of transportation during the last
few years, but our bad roads have almost
offset this improvement and act
as burden and tax on
all trade and commerce. 1t has
been shown that the cost of carrying a
bale of cotton from the plantation to the
railroad station is frequently as high as
from the station to Europe. Our bad
roads entail upon farmers and merchants
q tax tenfold as high as the cost of keep
ing up good ones.
In Georgia and Kentucky there have
been loud demands of late for the i'm
provement of the highways and the agi-
tation has spread to other portions Of the
South.
The league of American wheelman has
just issued q very interesting pamphlet
on the subject, showing the cost Of bad
roads, and calling attention TO the expe-
riments recently made by Prof. ].
w. Sanborn of the Missouri agricultural
college, which show that on a moist
dirt road, q force equal to 4ST
pounds was necessary to move load
of 1865 pounds, or 81 per cent. more
than was needed to move the same
load on gravel road having q grade
of one foot in twenty EIGHT. On level
gravel road the force needed was only
one-fourth as much as on the dirt, and
on plank floor but one-seventh as much
power was required as was needed in
moving the load over the dirt road. This
made no allowance for energy wasted by
the horse in pulling his feet from the
mud and in lifting them over the little
elevations always before them on
muddy road.
Taking a gravel road, costing say
$1,000 per mile, running on each alternate
section line, the cost TO the sections adj
joining, in the way of interest, viii be
10 5 cents per acre. Cannot our farmers
afford to pay this much for the sake of
having hard, smooth roads every day in
the year from their doors TO the market
town? how many loads must each haul

The Trouble in the Tax Collectors Office
About to be Settled-Store Burglarized.
Special to the Gazette.
TExARKANA, TEX. Jan. 2O.-The store
of E Ella on Broad street was burglar
lied last night. The thieves effected an
entrance from the rear and carried of a
large lot of clothing and notions. The
officers are said to be on the track of the
robbers.
The trouble heretofore existing
in the tax collectors Office Of
this (Bowie) county viii probably
be settled tomorrow. On the
18th of December last one of the tax
collectors bOndsmen petitioned the COM
missiOners court to be released from said
bond. This practically stopped the col
lection of taxes and Mr.. Arbuckle was
given time TO make new bond. The
commissioners court meets tomorrow to
accept or reject the new bond. If re-
jected the Office will be declared vacant
and q new collector appointed blythe
court. There are already many appli-
cants for the position. 1t is said that
nearly all the precincts in the county are
represented.

TIE MINES TROURLE-

In this issue of THE GAZETTE is pre-
scented plain unvarnished recital of the
troubles at the mines near Gordon, made
up, not from exparte statement, but
from testimony that cannot be i'm
peached. There is no ''strike' at
these mines; there is no ICON
flict between capital and labor; -
there is no struggle between Knights of
Labor and a soulless corporation; there
is nothing in this trouble at the mines
which THE GAZETTE has knowledge. The
situation at the mines, as it is presented
by a disclosure of the facts, is sim
ply this: legitimate business
is INSTRUCTED, the development
of Texas coal interests is impeded, the
progress of Erath and Palo Pinto counties
is retarded, and the public peace is pre-
served only by the presence of armed Of
fcers of the law. This is the picture
presented to the law-abiding, progressive
people of the state by the facts detailed
in to-day IS GAZETTE.
The Importance of the development of
the mineral resources OF Texas is
so great, and the benefit of the
active working of these mines to
Erath and Palo Pinto counties so mani
fest that THE GAZETTE has been for
days seeking to learn all the truth of the
situation, to the end that INSTRUMENTATION
might not blind the people to the facts
and TO their own interests. For all the
facts and for the truth of the
situation, THE GAZETTE refers every
interested person to the state
ments and the deductions of
those who are not connected with the
Texas and Pacific coal company, but
who do represent Labor in all its differ
ences with Capital, as they appear else
where in this paper to-day.
So far as the company itself is con-
cerned, labor win be secured, and that
labor viii be protected lift requires every
able-bodied man in the state to enforce
the right Beginning with this assurance,
it viii be, perhaps, easier for all people
to free their minds of doubt and con-
fusion in weighing the right and wrong
OF the situation The mines will be
worked. for Texas stands pledged to the
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-01-21

law and TO the rights and privileges of
individuals. The company VIII secure
labor and the mines viii be worked: this
much may be depended on, but THE GA
zETrE would appeal to those who OBJ
struet the operation of the mines and to
those who may, through fear or misap-
prehension, syrnpathIze with such OBJ
struetion, TO calmly and rightly consider
of this matter The obstructionists have
placed themselves beyond the sympathy
of the order to which they profess
allegiance and have exhausted the patti
enee of the state whose mineral develop
ment they imperil. The men who OBJ
struct the work near Gordon should con-
slider of what they are doing; they are
assuming to dictate terms and conditions
upon which capital and labor shall be
permitted TO develop the mineral re-
sources of the state, and by
such action they are impelling
the company into unwilling hostility
to organized labor. In view of the facts as
presented these obstructionists practically
set themselves up as higher than law,
higher than the order they profess adj
herence to and higher than the public or
private interest This is their attitude,
logically, and it should be evident to
them that it is an attitude intolerable,
for it is an assumption that signifies dis
aster to mineral development and men
aces the public with an authority at once
sinister and irresponsible.
The people of Eath and Palo Pinto
cannot afford to allow any number of
men to rest as an incubus in their pro-
gress and prosperity, and if they could
consent to such thing, the people of the
state cannot and will not and this is a fact
that should be made as plain as the noon-
day sun to all men. How misguided,
then, are those who obstruct the work at
the mines and those who may lend SYM
pathy or encouragement to the OBJ
struction. The company will
work the mines-all Texas is
pledged to that; the men who have sought
to impede this work have shut themselves
out from the sympathy of their own
order; if the company cannot secure
miners in Erath and Palo Pinto it will
find them elsewhere, and thus it viii
transpire, as the Labor Tribune says:
''The field will be lost to organized
labor -
THE GAZETTE appeals to the people
of Erath and Palo Pinto counties to aid
in the work of development; it appeals to
the men who are directly or indirectly
obstructing this development to be wise
in their day and generation. The mines
will be worked, and the greater the
sympathy between the company and the
people of Erath and Palo Pinto the
greater will be the benefit to the people
of those counties from the working of the
mines

THE LAR, s MARTYRS.

The officers of Young county who gave
their lives to the protection of prisoners
from a mob deserve a monument.
The NARROW brothers were desperate
criminals, but the law held them and the
men who sought their murder were also
criminals, and the law officers nobly
performed their duty. The mob who
sought to murder the Marlows,
if the report in yesterdays GA
zETTE proves correct, have murdered
five citizens and the murderers should
hang if they can be caught. Law reigns
in Texas, and when every law officer in
the state CONSTITUTES his duty as did those
of Young county, the lesson of the law s
supremacy will be so impressed upon the
public mind that no need will ever arise
for giving life to its maintenance.
