SATURDAY, April 7, 1906.

The fact, that the roads generally
in our county during the past winter
were "badn and at times in some sec
tons almost impossible, will not be
questioned by anyone. That gooo
deal of money was spent on them
too, and the most of it wasted, is
matter about which the people III the
county will agree. Accepting these
statements as correct, then the con-
clusion is a natural one, that there IS
some defect in the method of work
ing our roads, and it is up to our
Board of Supervisors to say, whether
they will continue to allow the roads
TO be worked in the same old way and
money wasted as heretofore, without
taking some steps to remedy the de-
fects in their present system or to
adopt another in the place of it.
That the members of the Board
want good roads, we take it for grant
ed, and that in the provisions OF some
of the many road laws enacted by the
recent General Assembly they may
find a way for the Improvement OF
our roads, we respectfully submit.
One bill at least, introduced by Judge
Sims. of Louisa, is, we believe, OF
especial merit and especially worthy
of their attention. 1t provides tOI
dividing roads of counties, whose
Board of Supervisors chose so to DO
into divisions containing not less than
ten nor more than thirty miles OF
roads. each subsection to have IN It's
territory those property owners Whc
chiefly use the roads therein and CIV
ing to such property owner by ma
iority vote of the free-holders therein
the right to select a road surveyor
WHO'S practically road section man
who shall discharge certain duties
with respect to frequent repair worl
as a section foreman does on a rail
road; and which gives power to sal(
taxpayers by said vote, if they choos'
but not compelling them to do so, t.
vote annually an extra road tax 10
the exclusive benefit of the particula
roads in such road sub-district.
The statute, it will be noted, is two
fold in its effect. 1t is designed t.
have purely repair work on road
done frequently and substantially b,
a local man selected by the taxpayer
and it gives opportunity for putting
into practical effect the known fact
that a majority of the taxpayers an
immediate users of a road are FIRE
quently willing to pay somethln
extra for the improvement of sue
particular road, and can see that
will pay them to do so, whereas the
would object to an increase Of tn
general county or district rOad-tax.
This law seems to be adapted to OF
needs, for the reason, that our roao
for the most part being SANDY" car
not be made permanently good will
out an immense outlay of money, br
can by frequent repairwork, in drair
ing them and in keeping the hole
filed up, be made reasonably goo
throughout the whole year. Unde
the present management this cor
slant repair work has not been an
cannot be done, and since the worl
ing of the roads under the preser
system is a failure, we respectful
submit, that it is up to the supel
visors to look for road improvemer
in some other way.

The use of the name of General
Robert E. Lee to advertise along with
his picture a new brand of flour is be-
ing condemned generally in the South.
x-Confederate leaders call it a "cOin-
ing of gold out of sentiment" "cOm-
mercializing sentiment" and an in
suit to the dead general, who, it is
pointed out, refused in his lifetime
large offers in New York and else
where for the simple use of his name
commercially.

The creation of an artificial island
in the middle of the entrance to Chesa-
peake bay is proposed by the joint
board on coast defence as an absolute
essential to the defence Of the national
capitol and the cities of Baltimore,
Norfolk. Newport News and even
Richmond. The daring exploits of
the Japanese naval captains during
the recent war has convinced the army
engineers that it is no longer safe to
rely upon the defence at Fort Monroe
to control the entrance to the Chesa-
peake.
