jackson News.

Road building il becoming Il yer,
important factor In almost every State
of the union, There is no greater in
ducement TO immigration than good
roads II must then follow that the
value OF farms is greatly enhanced aud
that much abandoned land would be
made valuable by II system Of good
roads IN every county of State, A
State can in no way expend yearly a
sum from which greater benefits will
accrue than by constructing good
roads.
New Jersey ia given the palm for her
progress in this line during the past
few years. The State only gives $780,
900 annually from its treasury to the
road fund, but the work is flushed by
the counties.
This progressive spirit has pervad-
ed Pennsylvania and the Legislature Jf
that State has passed law approprl-
aling 100000 per year for the pur-
pose of improving country roads. THE
sum IL 10 be divided among the town"
ships in proportion to the number of
miles of road contained therein
Tho News does not believe it is
right for the State to bear the whole
burden of road Improvements, but be-
llevcs in the State setting the example
and it will follow that the counties and
townships will DO their share. One
good road in q community educates
he people TO appreciate its valuo and
others will be the ultimate result.
The day is coming, if 1t hasn't al
'eady, that good roads Will be one of
he signs of advanced civilization aud
t Is time Mississippi was becoming |
Iroused on this subject. Let the State
AXE the lead aud the counties will |
Don learn the importance aud value of
their share iu maintain

GREENVILLETIMES.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2S, 1897,
ORDERS NO. As AND 10.

Wv ~ H@'N w.
The Bolivar County Democrat re-
produces the letter of Inquiry recent
ly published In the TINES aud signed
"Civis." The Democrat expresses some
surprise that no reply to the query of
Civis has been made public, aud sug-
gestS that while order No. 46 was
made as safeguard to levee Iuuds
there must have existed good reason
for its repeal, which has failed TO sug.
geSt itself to the public mind The
article very reasonably argues that
when general order of Importance
ia abrogated or amended by the Board
the published proceedings should in
dictate the nature of the change, the tax
payers not being familiar with the
various orders by numbers, aud un-
able TO keep duly Informed of the pro.
ceodings Of heir agents unless more
specifically advised.
The Democrat supplements tho
question of Civia concerning Order
No. As by the following;
ave understand that order No.
20 passed at the same time as order
No. 46) has not been repealed. 1t re.
quired the secretary and treasurer to
make monthly statements to the pres
ldent aud al exhibit where the funds
were kept on deposit and the presi-
dent was required, on his part, TO ex.
anime, same when submitted TO him,
and report thereon TO the next meet
ing of the Board. Has this order been
strictly complied with by the new
Board? We presume il has been en-
forced, because some Of the gentlemen |
who are now potentia! in levee affairs |
are known to be especially particular /
iu matters of this sort. 1t will be re-
membered that year or two since I
they loudly and persistently demand
ed that the Bolivar County Treasurer
should not only be required TO make
monthly settlement, but to count the
sctuhl cash in his hands at each meet
ings of the Board of Supervisors
Now, we would not suggest, by any
means that the LeVee Treasurer go
through the useless form of counting
the money, but we submit that our
friends should be just as particular in
District as in County matters and
should see that the statements are
regularly made by the Secretary and
Treasurer of the Levee Board as re-
quired by order No. 45.
We respectfully ask tho leYee Off
clsls, in the name of the public, reg
llarly and properly;

oeAled 2"
The TIMES has paused for reply to {
he question asked by Civis, and is !
till awaiting it. The propouuding of
hese questions is not unwarranted. ,
'ut most natural, and of course will be
'egsrded by the Board simply as a r
