SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1906,

The meeting at Accomac Q. II. TINS
week in the interest of good roads
was we'll attended by representative
men from many sections OF the
county, and the views presented by
them indicated very clearly, that they
were not satisfied with our present
system of working the roads and
wanted change. The meeting, too
was not without results. No plan for
the better working of the roads was
adopted but step was taken in that
direction in the appointment of COM
mittees to formulate a plan, and bet.
ter roads may be expected as the re-
suit of their suggestions. What their
recommendation will be, of course,
we cannot say, but it is safe to pre-
dict that they will be in the spirit OF
the views submitted in the meeting,
viz: better drainage of the roads
under the constant supervision of an
overseer or manager, controlled by
and subject to the directions of a
competent surveyor. The plan,
though, to be formulated and sub
mitted by the committees at the next
meeting of the Board of Supervisor
for their approval or rejection, we
take it for granted, is to have much
wider scope than the mere question
of drainage. This is important but
not all that is needed in road building.
The question much in evidence at the
late meeting, to be considered by
them, was as to the manner of i'm
proving the roads in the material tc
be put upon them and it is up to them
to say, whether we are to have only
dirt roads, or roads made in part OF
shell, rock or other material.
The committees having the mattel
in hand, it is safe to say, will no
make any recommendation which vii
subject the people to more burden il
the way of taxes, but as was sug
gested at the late meeting shoulC
they not recommend that part o
the fund already in hand be used t.
secure the information necessary TO
the better working of our roads from
other sections of the country whicl
have good roads? Can we go very ia
wrong to experiment in buildin
short roads of different kinds climate
rails and later adopting that pla
best suited to our needs?
There can be no question that bette
roads mean the saving of time in tn
delivery of produce, matter of vita
interest and Importance with the il
creasing scarcity and cost of farr
labor; that they mean saving c
money, because with good roads S
much team is not required and ther
is less wear on vehicles, harness, &c
that they mean more comfort an
pleasure, better opportunities for d.
ing business, an advance in the valu
of land-advantages, in fact, in ever
way we do not now have. Do "
want them? If so there are none (
us who cannot help if we will in tt
movement in that direction.

In the death of Arthur P. German,
United States Senator from Maryland,
which occurred at his home in Wash
ington on Monday, the Democratic
party loses one of its best leaders,
Maryland a citizen who has given
her peculiar honor and Importance
in the family of states and the South
a friend ever to be held in grateful
remembrance by its people. The
South can never forget him for the
service he rendered in leading the
fight which resulted in the defeat of
the infamous Force bill. He was a
big man in every sense and worthy
of the affectionate tribute which is
now being paid to his memory by citi-
zens from every section of the coun
try.

Hon. w. A. Jones and Life Saving
Service.

Mr.. Editor:-Reports are being cir
culated that Hon. William A. Jones
has been opposed to legislation favor
able to the Life Saving Service and as
| have received several inquiries as to
the truth of these reports l deem IL
nv duty to make statement about
the matter.
I have known Mr.. Jones well during
the time he has been in Congress and
am able to state that he has ever been
a true friend and successful worker
for the service. He voted and worked
for the bill to increase the pay OF the
surfman from $4,000 to $4,000 per
month and the keepers from $4,000
to 5000. 90 per year. A high official OF
the Treasury Department remarked
to me that Mr.. Jones had made him
self a special champion of this bill and
had made it's passage possible by his
work among the Democratic members
of the House. He introduced the first
practical bill for the retirement and
pensioning of the Life Savers and has
worked unremittingly for it since. AT
this session of Congress he has sue
ceeded in getting a favorable report
from the Senate Committee and is
using his best efforts to get like re-
port from the House Committee, with
good prospect of success. He very
recently succeeded in getting author
| lied the establishment of two new
stations in Northampton County, one
on Fisherman's Island, the other on
Myrtle Island and accompanied the
commission that selected the sites. In
fact the slightest intimatlon that the
service nedeed help has always found
him ready to work for the desired re-
suit. | certainly appreciate his sue
cessful efforts and thank him heartily.
