Pike Roads.

Editor Times-I see you note of
warning to the people in which you
seem to think that the people are
not going to get rid of paying the
expenses of keeping our convicts
by the levying of a special tax for
pike purposes, Now l know this,
had the court voted on the pike tax
Monday it would have been de-
feated by a big majority but the
friends of the movement said Mon
day that they were trying to pre-
pare way for the county to get
rid of the expences of keeping our
convicts, and one man told me
Monday that the contractor was to
take the convicts and pay the
county 4Octs per day for the con-
victs and now we don't want any
taking back in this matter, for
il was the grounds upon which
they got the pike tax and now to
intimate that the county is going
to have the convicts to feed and
