To Work Roads By Contract.

AT the September meeting OF
the Board of Supervisors the Board
decided to adopt the contrict sys-
tenn of working the public roads
of the county. 1t will be remem-
bered hat a year ago the ques-
ton of working the public roads
under the contract system was sub
mitted to the people of the county
and it was decided in the atfirma-
tive by a vote of more than two
to one in the election held for that
purpose. In taking the matter up
for consideration at that time the
board found it too late to levy a
raod tax and it was necessary on
account Of this to defer the mat
ter until it could be adopted in ac-
cordauce with the law. During
the past summer and fall there has
been an urgent demand from all
parts of the county to get the board
to 20 under the contract system and
frequent appeals have been made
to them. In obedience to this
public demand the order was adopt
ed as said above at the September
term. In making up the tax levy
an assessment Of one mill for
road purposes was made. The
fund thus secured will be used
during the first of the year to de-
fray the expenses for the early
working. The assessor will enumer-
ate those who will pc liable for the
communication tax and this tax will
be collected by the sheriff during
the fall 1905. With this fund the
board will he enabled to put the
roads IN first class condition With
in a few years. The Board is be-
Ing highly commended for taking
this progressive step. The old
system was a poor one and failed
to meet the demand for better
roads. The contract system Will
give the county what it has long
needed. In putting it in opera
ton the board will encounter
some opposition, we are sure,
but like the stock law, when once
in operation the people could not
be paid to return to our present
and Intellectual road working law

Col. E. Russell.

The announcement that Col. E.
L. Russell had been elected first
vice. president Of the Mobile and
Ohio railroad and placed in charge
of the management Of the affairs
of the road was received with en-
thusiasm by everybody who knows
that gentleman. Col. Russell is
one Of the most widely known
railroad men in the South and
there is certainly no one who en-
joys in a higher degree the conf.
dence and esteem of the people
everywhere. Under his manage
ment as president the Old Relia-
BILE enjoyed it's greatest success
and popularity. With the hap
Ply faculty, which SO few men pos,
sess, of insinuating personal mag,
netism and amiability into the af-
fairs of every day business he con-
ducts every detail of the depart
ments under his direction with a
suavity and smoothness of man
ners that is as remarkable as it
is pleasant and agreeable. The
friends of Col Russell and of the
Mobile and Ohio are much graft
fed to have him again connected
with the operating department OF
the road. His career in the past
is aguarantee that he will success.
fully conduct the business of any
department in the interest Of the
road and to the satisfaction Of its
patrons. His friends in Lee cOun'
ty, where he is best known and
most admired, are especially
gratifed at his selection for the
responsible position.

The death of Senator George F.

Mass, removes n of the fore
most men of the times. For many
years he has been a leading figure
in national affairs and was a ma"
of fine ability. AS a member of
both branches of congress from
his native state he left the impress
of his ability upon the laws of the
land and will be honored as one of

years he was a just and impartial
Judge of men and measures and
had the courage to do all justice.

How to Get Most for lotion.

LII the ISSUE OI Vic GUtu, luSG', VI
the Charlotte, N. G. Daily Observ-
er an interview with a prominent
planter of that state appears which
is SO full of sound sense and ad-
vice we make the following eX-
tract from it. Mr.. d. A. Temp
kins, the widely known cotton
manufacturer is one of the pub
fishers of the Observer and the
appearance of such an interview
in his paper is significant. The
position taken in the interview is
in line with the position taken all
along by the Journal and we are
glad to know that such opinions
are shared in other sections. Lots
of good advice to cotton growers
appears in the article and every
one of them should read what
their brother in North Carolina
has to say:
This seems to be the day of the
faamer, and he is disposed to make
the most of it; he is keeping post
ed in a general way, and on cotton
IN particular.
An Observer man had a talk,
yesterday, with n of the leading
cotton growers of the State, and
got from him a splennid idea, and
some interesting facts. This man
has proven himself thoroughly
practical by his success; he is
nothing of a dreamer. lie has over
500 acres in cotton this year, and
his crop will be twenty per cent
less than it was last year.
In an answer to the question
"What do you think of the cotton
situation?"
THE cotton crop now being
harvested can be made the most
valuable crop ever gathered, if the
farmers will act in concert and on
similar lines, in every State, coun-
ty and community.
''There is now no question OF
the crop being a moderate, if not
a very small one, compared to
what was expected two, yes one
month ago. The whole spinning
world is depleted of cotton; must
have cotton, no matter what the
cost. The present crop can be
made to average at least II cts. if
not Is cts. per pound to the grow
err, if the growers will GIN and sell
cautiously. If only half the cot
ton picked each week is placed on
the market aud the other half held
back, either stored in bonded
warehouses, when money must be
obtained, or stored on the farms
either ginned and baled or in the
seed; there would be no Cutting
the market for October, November,
December, which Is the very con-
dition the spectators want, in or
der that they may be able to buy
what will be in active demand the
world over, at much higher prices
after January LIST.
What is true Of cotton is also
true Of cotton seed. The oil mills
are entering the crushing season
with cotton seed oil 10 cts. per
gallon lower than last year OF for
the last five years, and consequent
ly the mills cannot pay by So %
per ton as much as they paid all
through the last season for seed.
ave have almost identically the
same condition in all crops affect
ing cotton oil as existed for the
season 1892 1893 when cotton oil
went to IS cts. per gallon in Febu-
airy 1898.
