LEGISLATION
FOR SNOW HILL
BILLS INTRODUCED TO ENABLE
BONDS TO BE PAID.

A bill has been sent to the Legisla-
ture providing for an issue Of bonds not
exceeding six thousand dollars for the
further improvements of the streets in
the town of Snow Hill, the first one Of
these bonds to fall due in the year 1871,
at the time the issue for which the
town is already bonded shall fall due,
and one each year thereafter.
Another bill has been introduced for
bond issued Of sls, 900 for the purpose
Of extending and improving the water
works system Of Snow Hill and provid-
ing suitable building 10 be occupied by
the Mayor and Council and the firemen
Of the Snow Hill Volunteer Fire Depart
ment, and the requirement of additional
apparatus for the firemen; these bonds
not TO exceed the sum Of 1900.
The town Of Snow Hill is already
bonded for water works in the sum of
$4,000. One of these bonds for the
sum Of $1,000 falls due each year and will
necessarily cause an increase in taxes Of
the people if they continue to be paid
off each year. The main purpose of
this new issue Of bonds is to redeem the
old bonds as they fall due with a new
bond for longer period of time and for
only so much each year as may be
necessary 70 meet their requirement
without an additional tax or burden up
on the present generation The water
works plant is now, on paying basis,
and outside of all running expenses can
pay off part Of the old bonds each
year as they fall due out of the surplus.
1t is claimed by this arrangement it will
be possible for the whole water works
plant to be paid off in time without anv
direct tax for this purpose being levied
upon the people Of the town.
1t is also claimed that it will not be
necessary to increase the tax rate of
Snow Hill above what it is at the pre-
sent to meet both the interest on the
two bond issues mentioned above or the
paving off Of said bonds as they fall due

A Local Option Rally.

A large and enthusiastic rally of the
forces opposed to the sale Of intoxica-
ting liquors was held in the Court House
in Snow Hill Tuesday evening last. The
meeting was held under the auspices Of
the Citizens League of Worcester
County, of which Mr. Orlando Harrison
is chairman.
The Court room was packed and
jammed with people. Every seat was
occupied long before the hour of the
meeting had arrived. and when Mr..
Harrison, who presided at the meeting,
arose to announce Mr.. J. 4. Holland,
of Milford, Del. as the first speaker,
there was such large audience present
that standing room inside was at pre-
MUM and many persons filled the door
ways.
Mr.. Holland said he was a young man
who had taken part in the recent cam
paign in Delaware He said this was a
time for young men to come 70 the
front. as there was great and good
work for them to do He told how the
campaign in Delaware had been con-
Quoted, and predicted a similar victory
for Worcester County, as was won in
land appealed to Christian people, to
business men, to mothers and wives. to
help carry the local option campaign 70
victory He said ne was a Democrat.
his father and grandfather were Dem
Ocrats and ne hoped that his own de-
scendants would be Democrats. He said
deny the allegations made in some
quarters that the Democratic party is
liquor party. Mr.. Holland made an elo-
quent. impassioned speech which was
frequently punctuated with applause.
The next speaker was Mr.. Walter
Miller, Of Salisbury. who announced in
the start that he was a Republican, a
protectionst. friend Of the colored
man. etc. He said no doubt some would
be surprised to see him taking an active
DdI III all dliAl-aAlUtll Ninoel d. liz iili
not appeared in Snow Hill in the past
as an advocate Of such good things. In
fact he had raced his horses here and
had drunk whiskey at the bars of Snow
Hill. He said he came to bear mes
sage from Wicomico County; that the
people of his county had tried local OPP
ton there and were so well pleased with
it that hardly good citizen of the
county would be favorable to returning
to the conditions that prevailed there
before the local option law went into ef-
feet. He said il would be no experiment
for the people Of Worcester County, as
Wicomico had given Worcester the
benefit Of her experience. Mr. Miller
said the nergo held the balance of power
in this campaign and he understood that
efforts would be made to persuade them
to vote for the liquor interests in ex
change for the influence Of the liquor
people against the DISTINGUISHING
Amendment to be submitted. He said,
pointing to groupe OF coiored people
in the court room. if you do not vote
for this local option measure you will
have demonstrated indeed that you are
unfit to have the right Of franchise.
You who have been freed from slavery
should also have the manhood to help
free yourself from the liquor evil.
Music was furnished for the meeting
by a campaign chorus. Rev. c. w.
Prettyman opened the meeting with
prayer.

THE GEORGIA ROAD LAW.

Below we publish the recently en-
acted road law. 1t appears that only
male persons from 81 to so years of age
in Georgia are subject to road duty.
II this is the correct Interpretation
and meaning Of the law, it would be
we'll that officials of the State whose
duty it is to collect these taxes know
from whom only to collect. Following
is the law:
Georgia Laws, 1907, page SO, No. III
section l That each male inhabitant
OF said county between the ages of 81
and so years, who is not physically or
mentally disabled, shall be subject to
the road duties for four days for eight
full hours in each day in each year, and
no more provided any such person may
be exempt from road duty by paying to
the overser the sum of So. or such amount
as the road authorities may fix as equiv
alent to four days labor at the time no.
tice is given to work otAsaid road, and
said overseer shall receipt said person
for said Communication tax, and shall ap-
ply the same to the use of the road
where the person was warned to
work."
