If there was ever a time in the his
tory of Rocket when every thing
was at a stand still ii certainly was
last week. Two days and nights of
almost incessant rains followed by
sleet and three inch snow put "A
cheek on everything. If any body
ventured out on a visit last week
we would be- ashamed To publish
their name. Never before have the
roads been known 10 be in as bad
condition as now, and should another
bad spell of weather come many Of
our people will suffer, for most Of
them are cat of fuel md ii Ia im-
possible to get any at present, In
many cases men are carrying feed
for their stock on horses; some OF
them for . or 6 head. Bread stuff
has been an item with many and
people would readily give the price
OF sack of dour 10 have it deliver
ed. SO Mr.. Editor you see things out
here are in a bad shape and you
will not eNpec, much from us this
week.

Nearly every fraternal and bene-
fciary society in existence is repre-
scented in Waxahachie by a strong

the Woodmen of the World. At the
last meeting Of the Elks seventeen
applicants were passed on and to-
night fourteen of this number will
be initiated. District Deputy Grand
Ruler G. A. Rasbury of DallasIwill
also be present to take part in the

MeTtens, Feb. 2l.-I see there is
q good deal said i'm the public prints
and otherwise about good roads and
the present condition of the roads
throughout central Texas. | see
one of your contributors objects to a
bond issue as "a method of obtaining
money to make good roads, and
agree with him. / think that meth
Cd is wrong for several reasons.
First it is wrong to go in debt, as
the interest we would have 10 pay
on bond issue would do great
deal OF road building, IL applied
on the roads instead of being
paid to the bondhoIers. And
second, a bond issue would
cause a lot of money to lie Idle in
the treasury, as large amount of
money could not be economically
used at once, as the county has not
the equipment or the organization
to work all the roads in Ellis eoun-
ty / am writing of Ellis county at

| am, and think the majority of
the tax payers of Ellis county are,
willing to pay ali the tax that can
be economically used IL applied di-
rect to the roads each year as col
lected, but not one cent as interest
on bonds. We want good roads, and
want them bad enough to pay tax to
have them built, but not bad enough
to have bonds issued for that pur-
pose.
When We pay any more tax for
building roads and bridges we want
themoney used with some degree of
intelligence and economy, not vast
ed, and before ge can have the roads
improved with any kind of economy
we must have an engineer with au-
thority to control the building OF
the roads.

all 1t can to get the matter before
the people in the proper light.

AN ANTl-SMO0T DEMOCRATS
ADVICE TO THE LEGISLATURE

salage ended when she became a state.
If. however, the matter should be
brought before them in such a way
that they were obliged to take notice
OF it. then they should say in the pO-
htest words that would convey their
full meaning to his accidency: BY the
votes of the people and the pistol of an
assassin certain heavy duties. fully
equal to your ability to perform, as We
think, were placed upon your Shout
ders. The people of Utah have i'm
posed certain duties upon US. Among
others the choosing of d man to repre-
sent the people of Utah in the United
States senate. If you viii carefully
attend to your duties. we viii try to
perform ours to the acceptance of our
constituents to whom alone, Of ali peo-
pie under heaven, we are responsible"
AS TO Mark Hanna, they might we'll
say: IF we want any lessons in cor
rupt methods in the election of a SEN
atOr, we will come to you for advice. -
And to the avOwed gO-between in this
matter they may well say nothing, but
think it would be the extremity of
cruelty to deny man The privilege of
little kicking during his last expiring
agonies.
