from the operation Of the civil service law
pv presidential decree 10000 places, 5000
OF which are places of skilled workmen
These excepted places include nearly the
entire internal revenue service and many
places under the War Department In ad-
oitlon to these places there are 5000 PEN
SION examining surgeons who might be
placed within the classified service if
PRESIDENT Roosevelt so desires
What he will do in regard to all this
prooiem Is uncertain. Even his we'll
known advocacy Of civil service reform is no
guarantee that he will make sweeping inclu-
sions within the operation Of the civil serv-
Ice law. There have been many reasons
why the places that are not within the
operation OF the law have been left as they
are Many of them have been so treated
because they have been declared to be Of
a nature that makes their inclusion under
the law undesirable
MI RooseVeltS S own acts and expressions
cannot be quoted to warrant a declaration
tnat he believes in putting all of these
places within the classified service The
law now embraces far more of the govern
ment service than it did while he was a
clV1 service commissioner, so that in many
cases the places now covered by the law
We're the ones Mr.. Roosevelt was lighting
10 nave put under 1t. while many of the
places still uncassified were not being espe-
cially urged at that time
The General Belief
But there is a very widespread belief that
Mr.. Roosevelt will not close his administra-
ton without some acts to very materially
advance the cause of civil service reform,
with which his name has been so intimate
ly connected for so many years.
People who are now anticipating Presi-
dent Roosevelt's first message to Congress
do not think that document will contain
any radical recommendation They express
confidence that whatever there may be in
the message that any one might term rad
lear will be on the side of desirable legis-
lation

Literary Work.

Mr.. Roosevelt has always been a most
energetic worker. and while engaged in
the service OF the government has found
time to do large amount of literary work
and to show his public spiritedness In va

lover of sport IN it's best sense, and owns
one of the finest ranches of the northwest.
on which he has yearly spent considerable
time. He is a splendid horseman, and par

Goods Roads.

Mr.. Editor; A great deal has been
said on the above subject. Meeting,
after meeting, has been held in var
ious places, but doubt if any plan
has been settled on, in the public
mind, to improve our highways. All
admit that they should be improved,
but how, is the question. Until that
is decided, nothing will come Of the
discussions on the matter of road i'm
provement. All who have experience
in the matter know, that to try to
work them under the old system for
various reasons, is a failure. Some of
those reasons are that the state of the
roads require improved tools to work
them, and those tools the farmers
have not, and the county don't fur
nish them. Then, part of the hands do
all the work, and others shirk in
many ways known to a " dead beater, :"
this produces dissatisfaction. But if
all did their duty in the time allowed
by law, it is impossible to keep the
highways in good order, without
modern tools. So this old system by
public sentiment is thing of the
past. The chain gang is doing good
work. but it can't keep one large
county in good repair. A plan must
be adopted or else we will continue to
jog along through sand and mud as
heretofore, much as all know, to the
inconvenience of travelling and injury
to stock and vehicles.
The best plan to work our roads is
by taxation on property. We cannot
levy poll tax for that would be un-
constitutional. Only one poll can be
levied and that goes to the public
schools. AS a matter of equity it is
right that those who wear out the
roads should repair them. People who
travel on foot wear very little of the
roads away and yet those people to a
large extent work the roads A tax
sufficient to put our highways in good
condition could be levied each year
and we would hardly feel it. This
with the help Of the chain gang would
soon give US good roads that all would
be proud of and be such saving on
the wear and tear of stock and
vehicles and add to the comfort of
travelling. The tax realized from each
township should be expended on its
roads. 1t is useless now to go into
details how this should be done. The
public will never kick at tax to give
them good roads. Our senator and
Representatives will do all they can to
help in this most needy and desirable
matter. JAS. E. DuPre.

Hope for Cherry Tree Agents.

Charlotte, N. c., Dec. 14.-Judge
Fred Moore of the superior court has
issued an order restraining the banks
of Rutherfordton, which hold money
belonging to the Amos Owen Cherry
Tree company, or its former owners,
from paying out same. This writ was
served today. The order is made re-
turnable Jan. 1 before Judge Council
at Newton and was obtianed by Eaves
& Rucker, attorneys.
The action is probably taken to scare
payment Of amounts due agents, al
though there is no specific information
on that point. No arrests. it is said,
have yet been made, and it is proba-
BILE that the promoters have left the
State.
