More Road Law

The last Legislature passed another
elaborate road law which in it's gen
eral provisions is very little different
from the old humbug system which
provides for letting the roads.
The point of difference seems to be
that the adoption of the new law
may be made matter of choice in
any county or district. The coun-
ty court is required to submit it to a
vote of the people upon the petition
Of 100 voters.
But upon the same kind of petit
ton the people can have chance
to vote on much better system
that known as the alternate road
law" And if the people Of this and
other counties have not taken inter
est enough in the roads to ask for a
good system in lieu of bad one,
what is the use of multiplying laws2
The alternate road law furnishes
a business method Of keeping the
public roads; on terms that are
equitable and fair to every taxpayer
at the smallest possible expense; in
which the taxpayer gets what he
pays for; which gives good roads
wherever tried; and which can be
put into operation by asking for it
through the county court and then
voting for it.
But il the men who most depend
on the public roads are not enough
interested to even ask for better
and cheaper plan than we now have,
we suppose that those people who
do not use the roads at all ought not
TO be tearing their shirts about it.

convicts who have been working in
the mines of Tennessee have during
the past few days been released by
the miners. Only thirteen of the
convicts have been recaptured. The
leasing of convicts who take bread
out of the workman's mouth will
have to be abolished in that State as
the miners are determined, well

short of a standing army can pre-
vent their releasing all of the con-
victs in the mines.

No most emphatically no. Then, by

Six. Where are they printed? In

The "green goods" men continue
TO flourish in New York although In
spector Byrnes is making vigorous
war on them. These shrewd thieves
fatten on the credulity of ignorant
people who are no more honest than
themselves. But few weeks ago
the New DOMINION published copy
of one of their circulars and explain
ed how they worked their game, yet
within the past week there have been
people here who were willing to in
vest their all with these scamps.
Such people only meet the derision
of their neighbors when they are
duped. And they generally are "too
poor" to read their county paper.

The Western Settlers Chosen Specific.

With every advance of emigration
into the far West, new demand is
created for Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Newly peopled regions are
frequently less salubrious than older
settled localities, on account of the
miasma which rises from recently
cleared land, particularly along the
banks Of rivers that are subject to
freshets. The agricultural or min
ing emigrant soon learns, when be
does not already know, that the
Bitters afford the only sure protec-
ton against malaria, and those dis
orders of the stomach, liver and
bowels, to which climatic changes,
exposure, and unaccustomed or I'M
healthy water or diet subject him.
Consequently, he places an estimate
upon this great household specific
and preventive commensurate with
its intrinsic merits. and is careful to
keep on hand restorative and
promoter Of health so implicitly to
be relied upon in time of need.

Rev. s. Kitchens Conducts Temper
ance Meeting.



Rev. S. Kitchens, of Morgantowr.
w. Va, conducted a Gospel Temper
ance Meeting at the First M. Z.
church, last Sabbath night. The aud
icnce was large and listened with the
greatest interest throughout the long
address. The speaker showed that
alcohol was derived from grains. etc.
by men fermenting the blessings OF
God. Alcohol ruined stomach, an 4
brains, and that it sent too much
blood TO certain parts of the body,
producing bleared eyes, flushed face
and red nose That alcoholic bever-
ages are not nutritious, but exhaust
nature. That man does not need a
stimulant like alcohol, to make him
work, any more than the horse or
any other animal. Men do better
work, live longer, become richer in
home comforts, without such stimu-
lants. Alcohol may preserve in ma
tural state frog. insect or even a
human corpse if placed in casket
of it; but it kills the live man that
continues the use of it. 1t paralyzes.
The drunkard is paralyzed. The
speaker here gave instances of death
resulting from alcoholic beverages.
1t consumes character, property,
life. Count, if you can the values,
homes, lands, stocks, bonds, shi Is
and fleets, nations happiness and
souls that have been consumed in
the fires of alcohol. Alcoholic drinks
robs Heaven endowed mind of its
strength and leaves the drunkard an
imbecile in intellect, really under the
influence of strong drink-he is crazy.
1t makes criminals and is the cause
Of three fourths of all the crimes and
accidents by land and sea- The speak
er closed with an earnest appeal to
temperance and christian people TO
help to turn back the burning tide
of death that was bearing from our
own home 100000 souls into eternity
every year. The speaker enforced
his points with forceable arguments,
and telling illustrations that inter
ested and sometimes amused the
audience. AT the close of the ad-
dress there was large number of
temperance and religious tracts dis
tributed in the congregation with
the request that they be read in the
families, and then loaned or given to
Others. 1t is hoped that the gospel
temperance seed sown may produce
abundant fruit.

SATURDAY, JUNE q, 1891.

In the Independent Mr.. Maurice
Thompson of wfordsville, Ind, is
disgorging some phenomenally silly non
sense respecting the Negro and Mulatto
which be prefaces with the ANTICIPATED
gag, "No man in the world feels deeper
interest in the future welfare of the
Negro race than l do" A basal propo-
sition of his theory is that "not one
Mulatto in FIVE thousand in the South is
a legitimate Child" which is an auda-
cious and slanderous lie. Mulattoes are
of two classes, the offspring of white
and black person, and the offspring of
two Mulattoes. The probability is that
the latter class-all of whom are ]egiti-
mate, largely outnumbers the former,
but, beirg as ignorant in respect to the
matter as Mr.. Thompson is we cannot
actually assert that such is the case.
Mr.. Thompson next asserts that the
Mulattoes are 'bad stock" on the fathers
side. We reply that among the noted
progenitors of Mulattoes were Thomas
Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Richard
Johnson, HI nry Clay and other states
men. Were they bad stock?
