MIR. Craig,s Position on Good
Roads

EDITOR GAzETTE:-1n reply TO
request of the County News OF recent
date as to the position Of candidates
ter the Legislature on thu question OF
roads, desire to express through your
paper the same views that | communi-
Gated to the County News, as follows:
| shall in few words state my posi-
ton, believing that the people should
know, and have right to know, tho
position man, who aspires to repre-
sent them, occupies. upon question
so vital to their best interests. Good
roads. is the cry that comes fIom every
quarter; every man you meet will tell
you he wants good roads.
There is, am informed, consider
able surplus in the State treasury, and
your suggestion that a part OF this be
appropriated to permanent road i'm
provement is timely and meets my
NEST hearty approval.
Let this surplus be divided and ap-
portioned among the counties OF the
State upon any equitable basis that
may be divised, and this with the coun-
ty and district fund would give the
ne cessary funds with which to,at least,
stalt this most important work.
And then too, this surplus, both State
and county, will grow larger and larger
year by year, by which means in very
few years, we may have such improve
lnent of our roads as will materially
enhance the value Of cur lands and add
greatly to our comfort and convenience.
Let the people continue to agitate
the question; but agitation without ac-
lion will avail little; let action be the
watchword, and with the people OF the
county standing together, wonders may
be accomplished. Yours truly,
J. CRAIG.

Another False Campaign Report

For TIE past week reports have
been in circulation that if the
gentlemen aspiring to the Offices OF
MAYOR and councilmen of LeXing-
ten in opposition to TIE present adj
ministration are elected, they have
slated certain of their friends for
the positions OF town treasurer and
health officer, more especially the
town treasurer. So far as ! know
the treasurer has given satisfac.
ton, and this is one of the offices
where continued service makes fer
greater efficiency.
In reply to these reports l wish
to state emphatically that neither
the office of town treasurer, health
officer, nor any other within the
appointing power of the mayor
and council have ever teen dis.
cussed by me with the gentlemen
who have consented to run as
councilmen on my ticket. Thee
gentlemen were invited to permit
their names tC be used because Of
the confidence reposed in them by
myself and friends as to their en-
ipent qualifications to serve the
town in the capacity o. council
men. Their views-as to the poli-
cies to be pursued were not sclici-
ted. They are all nen of the high
est character, whose business quail
Ifications entitle them to the con-
.fidence of our entire community.
The only time that reference
has been made to any of these
questions by any one of the six
gentlemen on my ticket was sev-
eral weeks ago when one of them
stated to me, without solicitation
on my part, that he favored re-
tanning the present treasurer. My
reply was, that l knew OF no rea-
son for a change!
1 hope our friends will support
the entire ticket. If elected, we
promise a clean and business adj
ministration, respecting the rig hts
of ali and granting special priv
leges to none.

CoNFEDERATE REUNION IN
RICHMOND

In point OF attenuance anu Gu
thusiasm the seventeenth annual
reunion last week in Richmond,
"the heart of the Confederacy,
of the United Confederate Veter-
ans, surpassed all previous records.
The opening exercises on Thurs
day, in the presence of great
multitude of people, with the roar
of cannon, the waving OF flags,
the singing of children and the
music from bands, were most in
spring, and every heart beneath
the old Confederate gray was
thrilled with the memories OF
forty years ago and more. Inc
two most notable events Iii the
proceedings were the unwilling OF
monuments to General j. E. b.
Stuart and President Jefferson
Davis, the former taking place
Friday and the latter Monday
June 9rd, the anniversary CT Presl-
dent Davis's birth.
Matters of local interest to resi-
dents of Lexington were brought
before the convention when the
committee on resolutions reported
Saturday. The report recommends
the endowment of a Confederate
bosuital in the home formerly
owned by Stonewall jackson at
Lexington. 1t also suggests the
celebration of the. one-hundredth
anniversary of General R. K. Lee
by a permanent memorial in the
institution of which he was presi-
dent Washington and Lee Uni
verslty), as follows:
"Having learned with great
Measure that the authorities OF
Washington and Lee University
propose to carry out the suggestion
made by the joint committee OF
Veterans and Daughters of the
Confederacy, who arranged for
celebrating the ne-hundredth an
niversary of our great chieftsln,
Robert Edward Lee, by establish.
ing a permanent memorial OF him
in the institution of which be was
president, therefore, be it resolved:
81. That we heartily approve
the plan of the University to con-
vert the chapel in which lie his
precious remains into perm anent
Robert E. Lee Memorial, enlarging
and perly identifying 1t. We
also approve the plan of establish
ing a chair of American history to
he named the Robert E. Lee chair,
where future generations OF stu
dents may study everything per-
tanning t. the history of this great
country, especially the part played
By our own Southland, the career
of own great cbieftain, and OF
these who followed him ia their
patriotic struggle for constitution
al freedom.
-. That VIC warmly commend
this enterprise to tie sympathy
aid the liberality of Our camps oil
Veterans and Sons of Veterans: t.
our chapters of Daughters Of the
Confederacy, and TO our people
generally, aud that we anticipate
Its success with the llvellest salts
