Badly Cut.

WINCHESTER, Va, March 27.-At
9 o'clock Saturday night Boss Harper,
negro, stabbed j. 1. Mcdaniel, a
bartender in w. S. Blackwell's Broad
way saloon, an inch below the heart,
and made six cuts across his back,
only one of which, however, penetrat
ed through the clothing. The knife
laid open the flesh for distance of
two inches between the left shoulder
blade and the spinal column. The
negro escaped, though two score men
were in the saloon at the time of the
cutting. He had been put out of the
saloon during the afternoon, and the
bartender was about to eject him again
when the negro made the attack on
him. 1t is thought Mcdaniel will

THE ROAD QUESTION.
Communicated.

I'D. HERALD: | was much pleased
to see you take up the road question
in late issue of the Herald, and
hope you will try to give us more
light on the subject. Can you not
publish the alternate road law, which
is SO much talked about. During the
last campaign it was publicly charged
that the County Court had refused to
allow the people to vote on this law,
though they had been petitioned to
do so. This | have always believed
to bel deliberate lie, but any old thing
will do during campaign. We are
all anxious to have good roads when
they are bad, but none of us seem
willing to help improve the roads,
unless we are paid for it. The aver
age farmer will drive around an OBJ
stacle in the road, sooner than get out
of his wagon and remove it. The
road surveyor is paid to do this, and
he, the farmer. would be doing his
work Now, Ne are never going to
have better roads by simply cursing
the court house ring, and the thiev-
ing road bosses, ''men who we would
not allow to exchange dozen eggs
for groceries for u.s." as they were
designated during the days of mud
throwing just before the election.
think l know most of the road
surveyors of this county, and they
are just as honest and conscientious
as any other class of citizens. True,
to my notion, we have too many of
them. One to every magisterial dis
trict, paid a salary and required to
spend all of his time on the road for
nine months in each year, would give
better results than dividing such
small pittances, as most of these men
receive. Another charge which was
published was that road surveyors
always had an order book in their
pocket, from which they gave orders
for election or any other purpose.
This was a fabrication, like other
charges. No road boss has had the
power to issue any order since 1906.
Not one has over-drawn his accounts
since that time. Now, do not refer
to this to stir up strife. What l want
is fair and honest discussion of this
question. Anyone, with or without
sense, can be growler, but it takes
brains to provide remedies. 1t may
be busy time, but if farmers will
attend the Farmers Institute at Eel
lers' Hall, on April Io and 20, they
will have ample opportunity TO dis
cuss this question. | hope you will
publish the road laws before that
time, so that we can discuss this
question intelligently. Thank you
for your indulgence, and hoping that
farmers will give their remedies
through your paper. | remain,
Very truly,
