FOR BETTER ROADS.

Why is the new road law better
than the old?
1. The old law is not modern il ia
out OF date /; it has no mark of prog
ress in it. Boys under 81 ear of
age r required to work, and nearly
every fellow who. works ous his
time does more Sinking than actual
work.
The consequence is poor roads.
2. Six days labor are required nm.
der the old. Under the ne y, only
four days r required and anv
person subject to road duty (besween
ages of 81 and 49, may be released
from road duty entirely by paying
the sum of 50, or so cents for each
day into the road fund.
The result is better roads. Every
man has to honestly perform his
work or pay his money into the
funds 1t will he hard on the law
man and the shirker.
8. All taxable property in the
county would be subject to taxation
for keeping up the roads. THIS only
pinches the "close- listed" man who
has passed the age of 45, and who
does not have loyalty en- ugh in him
for his county to care whether our
people have to travel over hills,
rocks and bitches, or whether the
roads are passa BE or not. When you
begin taxing railroads and corpora
lions, in connection with the ordinary
taxpayers property it will make
taxation low to all, and our roads
will be kept up with less effort than
now and be ten times better The
tax must be within the limits of 5
and 25 cents on the 800 worth of
property and Is and rs cents on the
poll. A small percent of this would
be all we need TO begin on.
4 The man who is unable to pay
the tax will undoubtedly be given
the opportunity TO work it out on
the roads if he so desires. It bears
lightly and equally on all.
S. Our convicts and convicts from
other counties may be worked.
s. All money collected from this
tax will go into n general road
fund, and it applies to the whole
county when once in operation.
z 1t does away with the old anti
quated system we now have, and it
means better horses and bigger
loads; fewer turns and straighter
roads.
8 We are doing all this work free
and at some expense and c~onsidera-
BILE loss of time. We are doing it for
the sake of our eubscribers and the
farmers Of the entire county, who
have hauling to do, and in the inter
est of every business man in tbs
county who would profit by good
No county was ever more /
need of good roads than ours; no
county ever had worse roads.
9. Now is the time to act. Sign
our road petition. Come get a blank
from us and get signers, and help a
good cause. It would disgrace Us
not e. aof On this now. We have
confidence in the people of Stanly 70

Railroads in the East especially are
beginning to feel the invasion of the troll
ley lines, which have been built between
different towns and cities. Many of
these lines are now in process of con-
struction. Their introduction has re-
suited In a great reduction of passenger
fares. and the railroads have been COM
PEELED to meet the reduction.
On some railroads. owing to falling of
of passenger business. some small sta
tions between larger towns have been
abolished entirely.
In connection with the rapid develop
ment of the long-dstance electric lines a
prominent passenger official said:
II believe 1t will be only a question of
time before all the short-haul passenger
business of the railroads will be done by
electric lines The railroads will even
tually come to own the electric railways
that now parallel their tracks"
The trolley lines furnish open obser-
walton cars, and the public seem to ap-
preciate their service. There aer no
long waits to catch a car. and the troll
leys are particularly convenient for
suburban travel.

At the inquest over the body of the older
women, which was found Saturday night
crammed into the hole in the cement floor
of the Bartholin home, neighbors readily
identified the corpse as that of Mrs.
Bartholin. The burial today of Minnie
Mitchell by her family removed all doubt
in the public mind that the body found
in the field at Seventy-fourth and State
streets last week was that of the young
woman who was last seen with Bartho-
lin. Complete hearing over Mrs. Barth-
solin's body was postponed by the Coro-

additional clews TO the murders may be
obtained. Today 1T developed that Barth-

This is an unusual occurance, for
