settlement may be reached without
difficulty after the board Of aldermen
has passed upon the consolidation or
dinances.

Mr.. Harris, Mr. Livezey and 9th.

beat was more costly than the car
service, but that IL the water com.
pany would give his company water

Mr. Livezey said that, while lie

ion that the water company you'll
readily agree to run a main to the

This matter is of great Importance
to local working men, as the running
of the early boat will permit them tc

The committee appointed at the

visors to formulate plan for the bet
ter working of the roads in Lee DIS
trict. met on Wednesday and dischar-
ged the duty assigned to them ana
while their plan has not been given to
the public enough is known for us to
predict that if it is adopted that an
Improvement in roads in Lee District
may be expected. The committee
will recommend, it is reported, the
continued use of the road machine
but under more intelligent direction,
better drainage and the building OF
permanent roads out of shell or other
material as fast as our finances will
permit. Their plan with these as the
essential features can not but be a
step in the right direction.
Such plan was to be expected OF
the intelligent members of that com.
mittee, and we suggest to the Boaro
that the committee be not discharged
until they have the opportunity te
remedy any defects which may Occur
to them in the plans submitted BY
them.

SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1906.

will be held today and it is with the
people of Accomac to say by their
votes, whether they prefer citizen,
who is a native of this county and in
every way identified with their in
terests, or another mot native ana
to the manner born" to represent
them in Congress. The choice as Is
known to our readers, is to be MADE
nv ia between Mr.. Jones, our present
representative, and Mr.. Mears the as
pirant, not for the place of Mr.. Jones
as some of his friends presume TO tell
us. but for seat in Congress open as
their inalienable right to every citizen
in the First district.
In presenting their names,it is gratl-
fving to state, that their canvass Ior
votes has been conducted 9!pon a nigh
plane, that hoSn- are clean men and
worthy of the high office TO wnlcn
thew aspire, but as we cannot vote loi
both of them the query is pertinent
which is most entitled to our support
Can there be but one answer MI
Iones and his friends tell us that he
will have the loyal support OF Ken
mond. his home county, and othel
counties in that section--will Accoma'
and Northampton be less loyal TO thel
son? The question, at least can o'
only answered in one way, if the mgr
character of Mr.. Mears, disputed oI
no one. and the fidelity and aollit!
with which he has met every duty IL
his public career is taken into conslo
Grafton. Showing as his past recor'
does. that he has been faithful u
every trust committed to him. AM
efficient as he has been in every spher
70 which he has been called, tn
charge even of Mr.. Jones and nj
friends that he is''without experience
counts for nothing against him. In
fact that he has never yet pee
WEIGHED in the balance and foun
wanting" shows that there Is some
thing in him which entities him to GU
support-and it is our duty and Shout
be our pleasure to help him along D
our votes to a broader field OF usefu
ness.
It cannot be true that Mr.. Jone
whatever ability he may possess,
the only one capable of representa-
us in Congress and rotation in offlt
is too good Democratic doctrine to
ignored by us longer. In that vleV
the advices are, that many in otn'
sections of the district concur and M
Mears with their support backed
he should be by the voters OF Acc
mac, it is believed, will win IN th
contest. Let us give him that su
port, or cease to complain as we ha'
done in the past, that the Easter
Shore does not get the recognition
deserves.
