the Republican State Chairman, Con-
gressman, District Attorney, United
States Marshal and United States Col
lector bargained to secure a Federal
Job for Senator Anderson in return
for his active efforts to prevent opposi-
ton to their re-appointment discloses
political degradation that will be
condemned by every respectable man
in the State. To make such contract
was to show low ideal of official
ethics and yet these five men were
guilty of worse! They signed their
names to an unworthy compact and
agreement and then did not keep
their bargains OF course it was III
the nature of a gambling contract ana
contrary to public policy. but if they
SO far forgot official and personal pol

agreement the average man Will say
they ought to have lived up TO it
This is only one of the signed con-
tracts that have come to light in North
Carolina with reference to the DIS
tribution of patronage in North Caro-
lima with Republican leaders. Such
bargaining ought to show to the au-
thorities at Washington, if indeed they
wish to put ar end to such disgraceful

should give to official recommends

These very uen-or some or lhelil-

a new crusade to make the people OF
North Carolina believe that the Re-

government.

UPPER MARLBORO, August 2 1905.
The matter Of the distribution OF the
road fund available under the Shoemaker
act was amicably adjusted as the result of
a conference between delegations repre-
senting the upper and middle sections of
Prince George county and the board of
road commissioners held here yesterday.
Inc discussion lasted nearly three hours
and at times was animated. The president
of the board. Mr.. John W. F. Hatton. de-
clared that he did not propose to allow
the county to become involved in a lawsuit
by any nasty action, as much as he de-
sired to straighten the matter out to
which Mr.. Fillmore Beall replied that II
the commissioners failed to adjust the dis
trlbution of the fund more euuitably a
lawsuit would most certainly follow The
board finally agreed to request Mr. w w
Crosby. chief engineer of the division OF
highways Maryland geological survey. to
advertise for bids on the work of improv-
ing the Washington and Baltimore turn
pike and the Livingston road, applying an
equal amount of money to each road. The
county commissioners have agreed to ap-
propriate sufficient money to make the
county's share of the work to be done S1a-
600. and the state will contribute like
share under the provisions of the Shoe
maker law. This makes $4,000, one-third
of which. or ss.666. is to be expended upon
the Marlboro turnpike, the Livingston
road and the Bladensburg road.
A contract for the improvement of the
Marlboro turnpike involving an expend-
ture of $4,000 has already been entered
into with Contractor Thomas H Lyons,
and 1t was this action against which the
citizens in the upper and middle sections
were protesting. Contractor Lyons agreed
to stop the work on the Marlboro turn
pike when he shall have expended SSG66
and to transfer halanco Of ha
