AT Reedsville over in Preston coun-
ty there were 131 Republican votes
cast on election day and not a single
Democratic vote showed up. What
became of the Democratic commits
sioner and the poll clerk not to men
ton the challenger has not developed.
After all that has been written and
all the experience that people have
had with the new form of ballots
there are hundreds of them in every
county who fail to mark their tickets
properly and thus lose their votes.
Good roads are the thing. More of
them should be built in this county.
The county court should fix on some
permanent plan for improving the
roads and their successors will carry
it out. The people will never let 1t
be abandoned after it once gets es-
tablished.
