Bad roads in Grundy Co. will be the

county with sandy, porous.
loamy soil. Grundy will have to have
a special road law.
A word to Mr.. Extremist for his
special benefit. l have never said that
an individual or company didn't
have constitutional right to employ
any one they pleased. Mr.. Extremist.
this is a God given and an American
constitutional right of any individual
and the constitution will protect him.
Understand this, Mr.. Extremist, God
says you shall not Cypress the poor and
II you Cypress them and they cry, their
cries shall come unto the presence of
the Lord. Those who Cypress shall not
thrive. God says, "Vengence is Mine
and will repay" Again He says,
go to now, we rich man. Weep and
howl for your misery that shall come
upon you. Behold The hire of the la
borers which has reaped down your
fields, which you have kept back by
fraud crieth and his cries entereth in
to the ears of the Lord. This Scrip
ture applies to everyone that is oppress-
ed under all circumstances. While you
admit you are an extremist you can't
take an overdose of religious rights
and liberties 1t is like epecac-c can't
take too much. A man can be on the
extreme for the devil but he can t walk
too close to God, You said you would
like for me to show you case where
union men were going over the count
ry trying to array one against the 9TH
er. Words that bare that interpreta-
ton to me. have never written such
nonsensee nor never advocated it. lido
say any one, company or private indi-
vldual, has a right to contend for his
rights whatever they may be- The
constitution of the United States places
all men on an equal footing. No spec
ial privileges to any.

troops and not recommending some
measure Of peace, was occupying the

officers of our state should strive to
this end 1t is wrong and mean for
any citizen to stir up strife, confusion
or trouble and disturb the peace and
dignity of the state. If a man or sci
of men should get up trouble, | un,
