A CART

To the Voters OF Augusta County:
Having learned that the impression has
gotten abroad in different sections of the
county that l am a candidate for the House
of Delegates, beg to say that after due
deliberation have decided not to allow
my name to go before the nominating con
vention at this time. The coming session
of the General Assembly will be very
important one where wise and experienced
counsels should prevail and doubtless the
best interests OF my party may be better
served by older and more experienced gen.
tlemen than myself, and have no person.
al ambition which | would not sacrifice
for the success and best interests of my be-
loved old party, the Guardian Anglo of the
peoples rights and liberties.
1t will be my privilege and pleasure to
take my place in the ranks of my party and
work cheerfully for the choice of the con-
vention and trust that my friends, parti-
cularly my young Democratic friends from
whose ranks l have the honor to belong,
will rally with me around the standard Of
Democracy and help roll up a splendid
majority for the nominees of the party.
, Thanking my friends who have so gen.
erously pledged me their support in the
event of my candidacy, am
Very respectfully,

"A Card from Candidate Harris.

To the Citizens of Augusta county,
LII an article q few weeks ago prom
ised to give my views on the present
road law, if it is law. and the pro-
position made by the Good Road Asso-
FciatiOn for a new law. Now as to the
Walker road law we practically have
no law at all. Section is unconstitu-
tional and cannot be enforced, b ecause
it forces man to leave his own bust
ness against his will and work for the
public. The law reads as follows: 'sIf
any overseer refuse to serve after be-
ing appointed, OF fail to work the
roads in his district when directed by
the road commissioner he shall be liza
BILE to fine on presentment by the
grand jury not exceeding $50" This
takes away mans liberty as free
American citizen, and no man is going
to submit to it. I cannot see that
there was any call for such an instru-
ment as this, as our road boards have
never had any trouble in getting men
to fill the positions. It looks as if our
representatives were out of job The
law further says: "a man shall not
take his own teams and hands, but
shall employ others than his own. "
But the law in its order does not make
any provision for hands to do the work
and at the same time compels the
overseer to do it, Our road board as
a general rule selects man. who they
believe can be trusted, but when he is
turned over to the law it puts muZ-
zIe on him for fear he will take what
does not belong to him. If man is
honest before his appointment he is
equally SO after disappointment This.
law also ties the hands OF the road
commissioner, or puts limit to his
time which is just the same. The
commissioner is nothing more than a
foreman and he ought to have the
right to go over the roads aud see what
ought to be d0ne, and also go over them
all the time the work is going on and
see that it is properly done before he
settles for it. This would stop this
cry of overseers working their boys and
teams in a fence corner and charging
for full day for the team.
Now, as to the proposed new law,
can see nothing in it but more taxes,
and do not believe the people are 60
ing. to submit to that. For myself. I
will oppose any proposition that calls
for more money from the people than
they are now paying. The farmers
own all the roads, furnish all the
money to build and keep them up and
do about nineteenth of the travel over
them. l think they are the proper
persons to say what shall be done with
them.
Later l will give my views ON the
land Grabbers Law and also give
