District Conventions.

The Fifth District Convention to
appoint delegates to the county con-
vention May2l, will be held at Gums
store, Omar, instead of Grants Mills,
the voting precinct, Saturday, May IA.
Democrats of the Fifth should make
a note of this and attend. All
districts except the Twelfth are re-
quested by the Executive Committee
to hold mass meetings in their re-
spective voting places and send dele
gates to the county convention, and
it is the duty of every patriotic
Democrat to turn out at 9 o'clock on
that day and appoint good delega'
tons. That is the way to secure rep
resentation. Let us have a full,
harmonious and enthusiastic con-
vention.

Mr.. Mcdowell is quoted as saying
to the Chattanooga Times that the
Alliance people will not support
Judge Turney. Suppose the unini-
tiated Democrats had taken this posi-
ton in regard to Gov. Buchanan two
years ago, because of his adherence to
the Ocala idea, could Buchanan have
been elected, and would Mcdowell
have had fat office at $40, 900 year
Now the Democratic way is for the
Alliance people, if they want
Gov. Buchanan reelected and Mr..
Mcdowell continued as coal oil in
spector and general all round poll
tician, is to make square, open,
honest fight for his denomination,
and if old Pete is able to lick him,
then come forward and take the
medicine, as did the other fellows
when Buchanan was elected.

W. w. BARKsDALE. PROPRIETOR.

There must be very strong silver
sentiment in Pennsylvania, judging
from the silver plank in the Demo
cratic platform. We noticed, also,
when the silver bill was under con-
sideration by the coinage committee,
the Pennsylvania farmers sent very
intelligent granger to Washington to
represent their sentiments before the
committee. 1t was also noticeable
that Gov. Pattison, VINO has twice
carried that State, shared equally
with Mr.. Cleveland in the compli-
mentary resolutions passed by the
convention, which did not instruct
for any candidate, but instructed the
delegation to vote as unit at Chi
cago. This was evidently intended
for Pattison and the platform to catch
Southern and Western States, or the
silver plank would have been
omitted.

Road Making.

This disturbing subject is covered
by the simple requisites:
list, That the water shall be run of
the road.
End. That the surface of the roads
shall be kert smooth.
To do this the man who makes
roads should have no other occupa-
tion-there should be one such person
to work and manage roads in each
magisterial district, to be employed,
paid and discharged by the Board of
Supervisors.
The money should go as direct as
possible from the tax payer to the
workers on the road, and should be
done through the Board of Supervis-
ors. and it will be as good an invest
@ cafFP, t enrri ngseho s. 9!s hSrss
that adds to the comfort, pleasure
and income OF man.
II thu above is put in force, the
man who is to make the roads will
learn by experience the best way to
do it-much better than those who
are making plans and making the
law.
1 fear, however, Efr. Editor, that
the Legislature does not intend to do
anything with the roads.
Respectfully,

much said and written in regard to
our public roads, few words from a
farmer, perhaps, would not be amiss.
/ agree with all of them that a change
or amendment to our road law is de-
manded. My plan would be-
Ito make. it absolutely compul-
sorry on every male from 16 to 60
years old to work two days, of eight
hours, in each year, or pay ore dol
lar, and if he will not do either to put
him in chain-gang and make him
work it out there.
2-To levy tax on real estate,
sufficient to buy road machine or
scraper and pillow tfor every magis-
terial district.
3-That the county Judge appoint
one man in each; district, with pay
not to exceed5s2 per day, to be occu-
pied hours per day, whose duty it
shall be to attend to all other roads
in the district, to keep a list of hands,
to summon them &C., and to forfeit
his wages for wilful neglect of duty
and to put another in his place if he
does not give satisfaction.

Answer 10 SIR. G. G. Joynes.

MR.. EDIToR:-Mr. g. 6. Joynes
wants to know why teachers are not
paid for Xmas week. I respectfully
refer him 70 section 800 of the Regu-
lations of the Board of Education,
page 1873 of the School-L1w Of Vir-
ginia, which reads as follows: Here
after the school month shall consist
of four weeks of five days each, and
deduction shall be made from the
pay OF teachers for every day they
lose, except such days as may have
been declared, by board of school
trustees, to be legal holidays
Prior to 1887 there was no unifor-
nifty, in this county, as to what days
should be considered legal holidays,
but on May Goth, of that year, the
County School Board met, and de-
cided that Thanksgiving day when,
proclaimed by the Governor of Vir,
ginia, discretionary and Whit-Mon-
day and Tuesday, shall be considered
legal holidays and deduction must
be made for all other days lost by
teachers.
