THE WAY OF 1T.

The unusual appointment OF CO.
lored man 70 the collectorship Of the
port Of Cincinnati is a Rooseveltian
body blow to the hypocritical pre-
tensions Of his arch antagonist, Fo-
raker. Merely 10 score a point in
an utterly unnecessary controversy
the president seems te have waived
considerations Of good 70 the colored
race and 10 the service. For no one
believes this man would have been
appointed 10 this place II be had not
been a negro, and IL Foraker hadn't
laid himself open 70 the blow. II
vas bad enough 70 see the president
and senator, guests at a recent ban
quet, engaging IN an oraiorical hand
io-hand struggle, but this appoint
rnent is worse. There are some
things a president Of the United
States should be above doing. This
fact Mr.. Roosevelt's impetuosity
sometimes makes him overlook
Pitlsburg Sun.
This Is the way they look at il in
the North, when they have had a
sample. They did not think this
way when the southern people kick
ed AZ the Indianola postmistress be-
ing a negro for that was whereby
they did not have to tolerate Il.
Wonder II Roosevelt will act stub
| orn as he did IN the lndianola case,
and abolish the Office to which the
negro was appointed.

NO MORE COSTLY NEGLECT.

NJ MOkE 10 A. AfAAA LIZ ID
There is not a community in the
western part OF Tennessee or Ken
lucky that are not greatly agitating
the question Of making better roads
and in nearly every instance they
are taking active steps 70 DO some
thing. Nov, il is time Fulton coun-
~ is doing something. We have
suffered long enough as a result Of
the impossible reads. They are a
menace 10 business, 10 the property
value and to the general condition Of
the county OF Fulton. Il is a well
know fact that this county enjoys
the envious reputation OF being the
wealthiest county in the state for It's
size, and this above all things, is
reason for having good roads to-
compare with the financial condition
Of the county. The county is entire
ly free from debt, does not owe a
cent, and Is IN strictly first class con-
dition in every respect. There is not
a county in the state that can sur
pass Il IN the possession Of enterpTis-
ing business men; not a county in
the state, size considered. that can
show more wealth. and these oondi-
tons being true, there Is no reason
in the world Why We should not have
as good, Il not better roads, than
any county in the state. We can DO
II there is not a man in the county
who mas the interests Of the county
as well as himself at heart, who will
object 10 a road tax, one that while
not exorbitant, viii be ample 10 put
the roads Of the county IN prime
condition and maint5in them. II
there is a man 70 be found who will
object to the tax, under the existing
conditions, you may brand him on
the spot as not possessing any public
spirit, and is a selfish miser.
Now the last session Of the state
legislature passed a road Law, but
though We are fortunate in having a
valuation Of over three millions of /
dollars, the valuation being in ex-
cess thereof, thereby deprives US Of
the benefits Of the law. But. on the
other hand, the Law provides, that
IN counties with a valuation OF over
three million dollars, the fiscal court
possesses full power TO levy a tax
sufficient to maintain a system Of
good roads.
The question viii be put by many
How much tax will il require 10
maintain a system OF roads in FULTON
county, We will give some figures
and let you see for yourself. The
taxable value Of the county amounts
TO something like 81, 0O0,0 Take
5000, 900. as a low estimate, and
at ten cents, the tax would amont 10
$1,000. This tax Of ten cents would /
scarcely be felt By any one a man
paying taxes on 5000, would only |
pay S. tax a year.
The fiscal court has the power 20
levy this tax-will We ask the court 10
do so, or will We sit around with our
hands in our pockets, and "cuss"
the roads and grumble about trade
being dull just because the farmer
cannot get TO town 70 trader See
how much good could be done by
this IS 900 a year. You are interest
ed We are interested. and the other
fellow is interested; so let's get
together and see II something won't
be done when the next term OF the
fiscal court meets.
