in desiring to push the Johnston
Library to completion az rapidly ne
conditions will permit.
I may add that the plans of the

more money than they have in
their hands available for the pur.
pose. II finished az desired by the

proposition. the road man, also the
"Close Observer" There is no ques
ton but what large majority OF
the people are in favor of road i'm
provement, and there is no doubt
but that the laws are such that the
road officials have the authority to
levy a tax sufficient to build and
maintain good dirt roads. I am in
favor of starting work, if it has to
be done by donation. What is done
by donation will not have to be
done by taxation. The people have
to pay it all, any ay, 80 what is the
difference? Whenever Route 2 gets

work. Build the best roads posi-
BILE with the means available with
out excessive taxation. think the
road man would be willing to tax
the people 10 build roads according
to his ideas, which would be gravel,
with stone bridges and arches.
Then he would try to compromise
his taxes for 80 cents on the dollar
with the road bosses, which has
been done. He would be in favor
of working the convicts in compe.
tition with union labor. / think
"Close Observer" is one of those jay
drivers who goes plugging along
in the same old ruts and mud holes,
and spends most of his time in OBJ
serving, but does not observe that
when an obstruction has been
placed in the road it is for the pur-
pose of getting tie jay drivers to
drive to one side so as to make a
new track, and save the roads. The
roads run from IA to 20 feet wide
between the bitches. Some men
can't tell tar from ice cream until
they eat a pound or two. Start up
the road work. We are with you.

Blue has been appointed, the writer

ness men cay the motives behind
the appointment are spite and jeal.
ousy, coupled with desire to fitch
the county and tax payers and some
have even gone 80 far as to express
the hope that no conviction would
be had In order that the county
could not be held for costs, for as
above stated the county would only
be liable for costs and attorneys
fees in cases of conviction. Mr..
Ashley was assistant attorney gen.
eral for six months or more and had
the aid of grand jury and failed
to suppress the sale of liquor. Mr..
Blues failure will be as signal and
the tax payers will pay for the spite
work and the rule or ruin policy.
We hope the rumor is false, but
knowing something of the men who
are connected with the affair we ex'
pect il to turn out to be true. Well
we shall see what we shall see. But
just think what will happen in
political way in the next campaign.
With the county $4,000 in debt, and
that growing thousands of dollars
every month, it is not difficult to
foresee political upheaval which
will astonish the oldest inhabitant.

PARHAM STIRS UP COLUMBUS

The Columb bus Advocate publish
ed the following article last Satur-
day:
1.-THE Rev. Parham, who is doing
evangelistic work in tent meeting
in the grove opposite the new Fris-
CO station, has obtained one of the
objects sought by his sensational
methods. Notariety seems to be
his greatest force in attracting at.
tention and hearers, and he uees
language that has called out loud
and hot resentment from citizens.
His abuse of the churches and
preachers has been very bitter, but
no one has questioned his art to
argue along dogmatic lines. But
that didn't eeem to reach the spot
and he assailed the schools and
public institutions generally. He
has spoken loudly in public places,
forcing his words upon people will
ling or not to listen, charging that
girls were tramping the streets
selling their virtue at 10 and Is
cents and in the same sentence has
spoken of our schools and students.
Whether or not he applied his lewd
remarks to them as he is quoted he
mixed them up In the came SEN
tence 90 that the town is intensely
angry.
1t is too bad that such mischief is
done. His remarks have been used
widespread in condemnation. Such
words are poisonous and must do
more harm than good"

It 10 rumored that r. W. Blue OF
Colum bus, who has been appoint
ed assistant attorney general for
Cherokee county, will involve the
county in a lot of useless expense.
We hope this is not true, as the
county is far from recovered from
the enormous expense bill incident
TO the last move along that line.
Thousande and thousands of dol
lars costs and expenses have been
heaped npon the tax payers and no
benefit given in return. We under
stand Mr.. Ashley has a claim yet
against the county for $3.50 which
the commissioners will, in all prob
ability, be compelled to pay, and
this is only fraction of the whole.
In whiskey cases, the only class Mr..
Blue can institute, the defendants
rarely, If ever. pay the costs, and
under the statute Mr.. Blue will re.
ceive $25 from the county upon each
and svery count any defendants are
convicted upon, provided the de-
fendant does not pay same. Thus
IL is plain to be seen the outcome of
this matter is to put cash in the
pocket of the assistant attorney
general, burden the tax payers, and
the law will be violated az before.
No fair-minded man can stand up
for one moment and consistently
argue to the contrary. 1t may be a
