A New Public Read.

Westminster, February 15.--The new
road west of here is about completed.
Tho road is two miles long and has two
bridges. The Supervisor had this road
and these bridges built by convict labor.
The first bridge is 5S feet and the second
is 132 feet long. Supervisor Pool has
saved the county at least eight hundred
dollars by building his road and bridges
with convict labor. The work was
superintended by b. E. Pool, who has

Death Of Mrs. Micah jenkins.

Mrs. Caroline Jamison Jcnkirs, widow
of the late Gen. Micah Jenkins, died
recently at Washington, ID. G. She was
The Oldest daughter of the late Gen. d.
F. Jamison, of Orangeburg, who was
President of the Secession Convention In
1860, and for more than twenty years o
member of the board of visitors of the
Citadel Academy. Mrs. Jenkins was
married in 1856 to the brilliant and
accomplished gentleman who rose to dis
tinction as Confederate officer, and
whose four sons survive her. Major
Micah J. Jenkins, an officer of the Rough
Riders, is the Oldest son, and his mother
was on the way to Charleston to witness
the presentation of a sword by President
Roosevelt to this son, when she was
stricken and died. Mrs. jenkins was
cultured, refined and beautiful, and her
gallant husband was singularly devoted
during their married life of eighty years,
impressing his army associates with a
knightly respect and admiration for his
queenly wife, whose widcwhood of
thirty-eight years is a loving tribute to
his memory.

NOT so.

A report has been circulated that
Hon W. c. Ralston, the republican
candidate for state senator, is op-
posed to the employment of italian
and Austrian miners in the Melones
mine, of which he is superintendent.
A representative of the Ledger, with
a view of getting to the bottom of
the matter, asked Mr.. Ralston dur
ing his visit to Jackson this week. if
there was any foundation for this re-
port. He replied that there was
absolutely no truth in it. That he
had not by word or deed conveyed
any such idea. He told US further
that Italians and Austrians have
been employed by him at the Melones
ever since work was started six years
ago, and are still employed. Some
of them have been in the steady en-
ploy Of the company for years. These
facts are a complete refutation of
the story referred to. Republicans
will pay no heed to these rumors.
Mr.. Ralston has the confidence and
respect of all his employees. He
pays the highest rate of wages, and
finds that as a business proposition
it pays to do so. He is the right
man to send to the state senate,
from a business point of view, as
well as from a political standpoint.
Vote for Ralston. Let no silly
canards draw you from casting your
ballot for him, and for the return of
Geo. G. Perkins as United States
senator.

DRYTOWN.

DRYTowN, Oct. 13.-On the 22d
inst. Mr.. and Mrs. Bosy Better of
Drytown, will celebrate their golden
wedding" it being their 5Oth anni-
versary. The happy old couple were
married at Diamond Springs, in El-
Dorado county, on October %, 1852.
In the spring of 1850, Bonifacius
Better, in company with several other
venturesome lads, left the corn fields of
Missouri to make their fortunes in the
god fields of California, and after a
toilsome journey of six months with OK
teams, reached Ell Dorado. (Mr.
Better has now in his possession shoe
taken from the foot of his favorite OK
that died on the Humboldt desert.)
In the spring of 1852 Miss Nancy
Brown with her parents, started from
Ills. for the ''far vest" and landed at
Diamond Springs about October first
of that year.
In less than three weeks BOny had
wooed and won bride, and the first
wedding that was celebrated in what is
now Ell Dorado county, was recorded as
Bonifacius Better, age 90 years, to
Miss Nancy Brown, age 20, on Oct. %,
1852.
The happy couple removed to lone
valley in 1854, and settled on a farm
which is now part of the grant. In
1862 they were ordered away from their
home by the soldiers, who we're sent
there to protect the rights of the grant
company. They then moved to Dry
town, and have lived here ever since.
Three children, Mrs. Francis Hink-
son of Amador City, Mrs. Amelia
Stacey of Lodi, and Jacob Better of
Drytown, and seven grandchildren are
still living within few miles of the
home of the aged couple, and will join
their many friends in Drytown on that
day to wish Mr.. and Mrs. Better many
more years of happy welded life.

can be swayed from the path which
they believe to be right in the elec-
tion of county officers by money con-
s,derations. Any candidate who
imagines he can secure support in
this manner, is unfit for any position
of public trust. We ask republicans
to be on their guard in this matter.
Candidates who have reaped the
spoils of office for years are the best
equipped for making a fight of this
character. They are prone to i'm
agine they can Offset the deep-seated
hostility of the voters to their of
ticial methods by the liberal use of
money accumulated from a high
grade salary schedule. For the rep
utation of Amador county it be-
hooves all self-respecting citizens to
see to it that their hopes in this
direction are doomed to disappoint-
meut. 1t is related that candi-
date in nearby county spent
$4,000 in the effort to secure a
nomination under the Crawford
plan. He was beaten. Any man
who has such a low estimate of
American citizens as to imagine that
he can buy himself into office ought
to be defeated.
Amador ledger., 1902-10-17

One or two of the democratic
candidates with Unsuitable appetite
for office, appear to be greatly wor-
ried about the course of the Ledger
in the closing week of the canvass.
Visions of "roast" in the final
issue before election seem to fit be-
fore their overwrought imaginations.
Why these forebodings ? If they
have served the people the best they
knew how, why do their knees knock
together, as it were, at the thought
of newspaper criticism ? These
phantoms that cause them so much
disquietude are not the creations of
an approving conscience. It is
guilt, not innocence, that is startled
at ones own shadow. To put these
tortured spirits On easy street, if
that were possible, we will state
that the course of the Ledger is die
tated absolutely by its editor. I'm
like the underhanded tactics resort
ed to years ago, when U. S. Greg
ory was first elected sheriff, and
when tissue of lies was published
in the Dispatch concerning sheriff
Adams, on the eve of the election,
without any chance for refutation,
the Ledger will follow the policy it
has always adopted under its pres
ent management; namely, to prefer
no new charge against any candidate
in the issue preceding the election,
unless the facts constituting the
basis of the complaint occur at a
period which preclude a ventilation
thereof at an earlier date. So the
hearts of the terrified need not trem-
BILE lest, in accordance with their
own pernicious example, they are
jumped upon without any opportunity
of reply.
Amador ledger., 1902-10-17

Reports of the corrupt use of
money, or the proffer of financial aid
for the purpose of influencing voters,
begin to be whispered around at this
early stage of the campaign. 1t is
a duty citizen owes to himself, to
the cause of good government and
clean politics, to report any case of
this kind coming under his personal
observa tion, with view to having
the offender prosecuted. To offer a
bribe, whether it be in the shape of
money, promise of financial help, or
of employment if elected, is a crime
of very serious nature. 1t is the
duty of every man approached in
this manner to publish the fact
broadcast, so that the corruptor
may be buried under the ballots of
an indignant people. We have that
faith in the integrity of Amador
citizens generally that few, if any,

GRILLO FOR SUPERVISOR.

August Grillo, the republican
candidate for supervisor in township
three, is making straightforward,
clean, determined fight to win out.
He is, showing by his campaign
methods, the thoroughness of his
character. When he goes into any
undertaking, he leaves nothing un-
done to accomplish his object. That
is just the kind of man we want on
the board of supervisors. Grillo is
a young man of thirty years, and a
native of Amador county. He is en-
gagged in the butcher business in
Volcano, and has made a reputation
as a successful business man. The
same qualities that have made him
successful in the management of his
own private affairs, are also requisite
for an official on the managing
board of the county. Every repub-
lican we hope will stand Loyalty by
Grillo for supervisor. In his home
precinct he will. poll a heavy vote,
showing the confidence the people
generally have where he is best
known in his business ability and
fitness for the Office sought. We
urge upon every republican of the
eastern section the duty of working
and voting for Grillo.

FOR SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.

George F. Mack. the republican
nominee for school superintendent,
is too we'll known to the voters of
Amador county to need any eulogy
at our hands. For a number of
years he was at the head of the edu-
cational interests of Amador county,
and conducted the Office satisfactory
ly to all. At that time, with salary
of $6OO'per year, he was not required
to devote his entire time to the
duties of the Office, but taught school
in lone also Even with the limited
time at his disposal, bis administra-
tion of school affairs met general ap-
proval. Under the system which
has been in vogue since his retire
ment, the superintendent devotes
his entire time to his office, and re-
ceives $1,000 per year. George F.
Mack is eminently fitted for school
superintendent not only by educa-
tion and thorough knowledge of
the school system, acquired by a life
time devoted to teaching, but also
by his genial and pleasing manner
He has large family dependent
upon him, and has not the means to
make a thorough canvass of the
county. He is at present teaching
in the valley. For this reason, as
well as the financial strain, he will
be unable to be present with the
other candidates at the various
meetings, except during Friday and
Saturday evenings. We make this
explanation, so that his absence
from any county meeting may not
be interpreted as lack of interest
on his part in the outcome. He has
accepted the nomination in good
faith, and wants to be elected. He
will do all he can, with the time at
his disposal, to win. No man in
Anador county is better qualified
for taking charge of the school in
terests of the county, and we be-
lieve no man could be found who
would make more acceptable
superintendent to those having bust
ness with this Office than he. There
is no Office in the county govern
ment that requires such a combina-
tion of qualities to fill successfully,
as that of school superintendent.
He is called upon to deal with
children as well as with their public
instructors. 1t is with pleasure that
we commend Geo. Mack to the voters
of Amador county for the Office of
school superintendent. He is not
an untried quantity. He has been
there before. We believe the inter
ests of the county will be subserved
by placing him at the head of the
school department again.
