School Commissioner C. n.

the erection of the befrv on the

no move has been made toward
building the beIfry, but we hope
ere long we will hear the bell peal

GOOD ROADS TALBOT.
One County of the State Which has
Highways to Brag About.


The grand jury for the May term
of the Circuit Court for Talbot
county reported to the court "that
the public roads are in fair con-
ditiOn and only IN some localities
they might be improved"
Talbot county is known to have
the best roads on the Eastern Shore
in fact, the best in the State ex-
cept piked roads. The taxpayers
grumble unless the county CON mis-
sioners spend money enough to keep
them in good condition. Judge
Robinson once said that If he did
not know the boundaries of the
county he could always tell when he
reached Talbot by the excellence
and superiority Of all of the county
roads.
There are three hundred and sew
cnty five miles of roads in Talbot
county, the working of which is ov-
erlooked by one hundred and six
supervisors, who get no salary. Road
wages are one dollar a day for a
man, and the same for team of
horse and cart or horse and pillow.
Five road machines owned by the
county are also used. The sum of
l0,344.97, or twenty SIX dollars a
mile, have been spent in the eleven
months that have passed of the
current fiscal year. AS but $50
was estimated and levied for roads,
there will be deficiency of 81, 900.
The cost of new roads are not in
cluded, a special levy being made
for that. 1t was put at $4,000 in
the last levy and will not all be
spent. About 50, S00-that is sew
en- hundred and fifty dollars per
mile for all the miles of road in
the county-was spent in buying
oyster shells and putting them on
the roads. Some shell road is made
every year. The first was made in
1868, being the road from. Easton
to the Point. Sixty thousand bush
els of shell were put on that road
then, and as many more have been
put on 1t since. 1t will take at
least 10000 bushels to shell a mile
of ROAD fairly deep and single track
and 10000 bushels of oyster shells
put upon road costs $750-more
than that if the hauling is far.
Talbot has now about ten miles of
shell road. No county can have
good roads unless the people are
to pay for them; but the
trouble is that often they pay for
them and don't get them. The

THE STATE.

The fact that the Democrats have
lost all hope of carrying the State
for Stone is shown in the fact that
they are now trying to steal the gov
ernorship. In st. Louis they have
stricken from the registration 2 1000
Republican voters, while in Kansas
City they have registered 1000
illegal voters. In both cities the
Republicans are taking the matter
into court. The Kansas City Star, q
Democratic paper, is fighting the
fraud, and the decent Democrats in
both cities are determined to set
down on ring rule and ballot box
thieving and are flocking to the sup
port of Warner on account of it. We
appeal to all good liberal.mlnded
Democrats to help crush this corrup-
ton. The liberties of the people are
at stake. When the ballots of the
people count for nothing against tho
voice of gamblers and thieves, it is
time for men of all shades of politics
to unite against them. Thousands
Of Democrats in Kansas City and st.
Louis will vote for Warner on this
account and there should be thous-
ands in the country to do likewise.
