the Committee on Ways and Means

sent out from Cuba to the o.
feet that there was no color

mon sight in Cuba to see the
white people and negroes
mingle upon terms Of perfect

Since the American occupa

sprung up the same distinc-
tons that obtain in A merica.
According to a Havana spec
lal to the New York Sun. the

says:
"The negro element has
been complaining abont be-
ing left out in the cold in the
mat tier OF the distribution Of

called on President Palma
today and asked that no dis
tinction he made between the
two races. The question rails
ed by the negroes is not that
individual members of their
race shall obtain places IN.

the lines of official demarca =

fact that the artillery corps

blacks. The committee re.
called the day III the arrival
OF Pre- sident Palma when the
artillery was lined in front o!

fact that the police force ol

Editor Democrat:
The articles on goUd roads
which you published some
weeks ago gave me great
pleasure.
Every citizen OF this coun'
ty ought to work for good
roads. We want to call atten
tion to some things which
the State OF New Ycrkis do
ing for good roads,
In 1898 the Legislature ap
propriated $4,000 for thu
improvement of the public
roads under n bill which pro.
vides that il in any comum'
nifty tho town will appropri
ate Is per cent. and thecoun
ty 35 per cent: the State will
furnish 50 per cent. Of t he
money for building and i'm
proving highways. In an
swer to the calls from rural
districts they have, under
this sa,ne law, appropriated
100000 for 1902. and this
is insufficient.
There ia also an effort being
made to have the road tax
paid in money instead OF col.
Letting it by "the pernicious
labor system. A bill provid'
ling for wide tires was also in
troduced in the Legislature.
1t may truly be said that
the State of New Yord is
wealthy, but it has become
SC by looking out for the in
terest of its citizens in this
manner. We can just as well
affora to spend money in i'm.
proving onr public roads as
the people OF New York. If
any one doubts it, let him
look at the recent 12h per
cent. dividend declared by
the Caldwell & Watauga turn
pike Co. Every dollar wisely
invested on our public roads
would pay US more interest
than that. | helieye that it

say that it would double the
} valde OF the real estate Of Wa
