seemed congenial. and he struck up an
acquaintance with them. He proposed
q drive and they got surrey and two
horses.

They got aboard and started down

passing automobile and ran away. The
driver valiantly steered the horses
into o telegraph pole and Wilson and
his two friends were thrown helter-

Wilson slowly gathered himself to-
gethe:. One Of his friends was sitting
In the ditch rubbing his bruises and
the other stood in the middle OF the
road gazing in fearful misery at two
front teeth which he held in the palm
OF his hand.
Pretty lucky escape, wasn't IT,"
asked Wilson. for want Of something
better to say.

teeth, weeping afresh, "bu; please, oh,

casters Public Highways.

meut a county serveyor | had
to report not a mile of improved
roads in the county ; and in an
swer to the question how many
DAYS the roads are worked anuu-
ally, | had 10 say, with the grand
jury, less han II day. Now
isn't that an awfuily sorry report
for our county? l for one am
ashamed of it and hope the re
cord for bad roads in Lancaster
county has been broken-yes,
broken never to be winked at
again.
When the government author
tiles at Washington expect a
surveyor to be posted and report
the condition Of the public roads
Of his county, | think the peo-
pie at home should but expect a
surveyor to be interested and
outspoken on the road question.
And as a citizen and a fellow
countryman, having been raised
on the farm, l am especially in
terested in country lie and would
like to help our county.
l love the country and her
people. | want to see the country
prosperous. l want to see better
churches and better schools. |
want to g better farming aud
our people taking more interest
in saving their lands ; and when
the crops are made and gathered
L want.our people to have decent
roads on which to haul their
crops to market.
We can't claim the first place
in civilization if we don't educate
our children and build good
roads, and we want the world to
call us highly civilized.
The farmer who doesn't do all
he reasonably can to educate
his children-to develop ali that
is best in them-I say he is not
a good father; and the cilizeu
who does not DO all he reason
ably can for education and the
betterment of his country, he ,
not a good citizen.
Educate orr children and ther,
we will have good roads: bat we
need good roads now. Meck!en-
burg county, N. c., a few miles
nOrlh of here, boasts o. the best
roads in the South, and Union
county has good roads, too; and
we find some of the counties Of
our own state doing fine road
wOTk-and why not Lancaster?
Our laws, We are told, are all
right; the supervisor has the
power and The law to have the
road worked; and the oversgers
have the power to work the
hands, but not over eight DAYS.
Now Know some people say

opment of our county now de-
mands the very best OF road work
We are glad 10 see articles on

others and hope TO see more.
The time for candidates is about
here and we want TO stir them
up On Good Roads. We hcps n"

Office on a dC-nothing ticket jusi
to catch the vote Of those dlsin
terested in Better Roads
We hope every candidate for

will be willing to pledge our
people good roadside pledge our
people that he will carry out the
law; and we hope the mar who is
elected next time will give us an
article once in a while on how to
build Good roads and the latest
and best ways of working same;
and we hope he will have the
interest, the will. the courage
and grit in his craw to go around
and see that our bridges are
properly built and that our
roads are lawfully worked in the
very best possible way.
The Office pays 500 to 900
dollars a year, which is far more
than a daily mail carrier gets.
and is enough to justify Il good
business man all his time, or so
much as is necessary. When the
Office paid but 800 to 400 dollars
a year, there was a cry for bet
ter roads and our people were
told that the supervisors salary
was TOO small for him to give the
roads his attention.
The salary has been raised to
$500 for his work, and 500 for
travel, l Am told, but what have
we got? The supervisor gets the
salary and we get the mud and
jolts.
Let us ask the next man who
is elected to give US better roads,
and if we don't get better roads,
then let us ask that $500 or $500
of this extra salary be cut off;
for we believe $500 TO $500 a
year is enough for The office if
our roads are not looked after.
There are some who think our
people just won't WORK the roads,
but | want to say this is a mis-
take; | have Travelled all over the
county aud | have made it a
point t. ask the overseers it they
were willing 10 work, and | have
never tOund n man vet that was

The county to say that our pco
pie wouldn't work The public
roads.
