Road Overseers' Salaries.

Ed. RegiSter-I have just read Emer-
could be possible that some of the sal
aries are only balances due. That
modest old-fashioned salary charged
by that honest fellow, Charley Polk"
is balance due on settlement. My
salary, perhaps, is like the others, ex-
travagant, as would be that ''more dig
nifed title, Capt. G. K. Polk" While
| thank Emerson for the honor he has
bestowed on me | will say that | am of
the Lost Cause, but do not claim nor
desire the title. The time was in
this country that salaries TO overseers
were unknown" To this 1 will say
that the time was. in this country, that
farmers were prosperous and did not
have to sell their last porker to pay
taxes, and then buy St. Louis packed
meats with two or three freights and
as many profits, for their family, and
the masses ruled the country. Now
we are ruled by money and the few,
and very little money IN the country.
| think that Emerson would not find it
so easy to get men to work for glory.
The day has passed when men worked
the road on horseback to an amount
equal to the salary. Perhaps this
would be very nice thing for the men
that never worked the road in their
lives to take the hard labor of the men
that do the work and put it on the road
and have them superiutend the work
free. Emerson can find plenty of men
that will do the work for the money
that is in it these hard times. Look
ing after the road near their homes. 8"
Must we look after the roads near
Ironton so that men that have buggies
and wheels can have good time and
annoy men or women on horseback, as
two young gents did me near the
bridge not long since. Roads grow
ing worse" If am not mistaken in
Emeson, when first knew him l was
driving a team hauling lumber; knew
the roads then and know them now.
We could then haul 1000 #. to 1900 #.
of dry fine lumber with three and four
yoke of oxen. Now one good pair of
mules draw the same amount and get
$3.50 to 81 per thousand. We then
got SO to 81 per thousand. Ii we had
had the roads then that we have now
we would have been proud. "Over-
seers, salaries" The court has re-
duced them from 81 to $3.50 day.
Now, if Emerson would do the right
thing he would insist on the court CIV

We publish in this issue a letter
from Judge Green relative to political
matters in Jefferson county. He &C
cuses the Democrats of that county of
opposing him because of his non-parti-
san decision in local election contest
cases, wherein he as Judge refused to
change the results as certified to by
the election officers, and took occasion
to exonerate the Republican county
clerk, although the Democratic contes-
tants claim that the ballots must have
been changed while under his care. A
very pretty fight is on in consequence.
