The Proposed Road Bonds.

EDITOR ABERDEEN WEEKLY:
The Aberdeen Examiner of Feb.
14th contains a suggestion. from
the pen Of Hon. B. II. Mcfarland,
that the county of Monroe issue its
bonds to the amount OF 250,000.00
to improve the public highways Of
the county.

that tends to the material prosperi-
ty of old Monroe. " Her roads.
bridges, and ferries, are the vast
arteries which supply the sinews of
her commerce. and it behooves our
ever-yigilant Board of Supervisors
to resort to ways and means by
which her thoroughfares can be

since the days Of reconstruction, has
exercised commendable judgment
in the selection of Boards Of Super
visors, who have successfully man
aged the internal affairs of the coun-
ty with credit to themselves and
without financial embarrassment to
the county.
Inheriting a debt of more than
5000, 10000, contracted by the Re-
publican administration prior to
1875, the Democratic party, sue
ceeding to power, addressed them
selves to the task of discharging this
debt. 1t was promptly liquidated
and for years the credit of Monroe
county has not been impaired by
outstanding obligations. While our
sister counties have issued bonds,
in aid of public enterprises, and

nor can the officers do any more
than they are doing.
Do you desire to pay the road
tax, whatever that may be, 25 years
longer, with no hope of any better
roads, or do you want permanent
roads built? The answer IS very
simple, and | believe l can hear
every road tax payer. speaking from
a business standpoint say, Let us
have permanent improvements. -
If this is your answer, let every tax
payer in our county get busy and
help start the project, shy securing
the names to petition asking our
Board Of Supervisors, at an early date
to proceed under section 331 code
1906, to issue bonds at a low rate
of interest, non-taxable, to secure
money that we may make roads on
all main roads leading to our towns
and markets. By this plan we can
build these permanent roads, and
when built the annual expense
which we are paying now can 20
into sinking fund to pay off the
bonded Indebtedness and we will
enjoy them while paying for them.
We recommend that the Farm ers
Educational and Cooperative Union
of America, take this matter up in
their locals and aid us in this move
ment, and send instructed delega-
ton to our county union at its next
meeting on the 9TH day Of March
at Becker school house, so that we
may have an expression on this sub
ject. Respectfully,

First Assistant Postmaster Gencr-

efforts in his new role is saide to be
a canvass of the southern States in

EDITOR ABERDEEN WEEKLY:
We have watched the progress Of
our road building for three years
under our present contract system
and regard it as an improvement
over the old way, but fully con-
vinced that it is impossible to make
a permanent road out Of dirt, rolling
it up and ditching as is done at
present, but necessary for perma-
nent road building, nor do we ex-
prct any more in the future Of our
contractors or officers i'm charge for
we credit them for having done all
required of them under their re
spective contracts and the officers
have done all they could with the
means available We desire to put
business proposition to the tax
payers of our county.
we have about 600 miles Of
roads worked under contract at an
average of about $50 or $50 per
mile, making a total annual e1-
pcuditure Of $4,000 on these
various links Of roads, with no hope
of any material changes in the con
dition Of the roads at this season Of
the year. Suppose we continue this
annual expense for p years, we
will have expended the sum of
1925. 600 with little better roads
than at present. Because it
/. is necessary to have these annual
workings, that the roads may be
kept up to the present standard.

HOW HER LIFE WAS SAVED
WHEN BITTEN BY LARGE
SNAKE.

How few people there are who
are not afraid of snakes. Not long
ago a harmless little garter snake
fell on the wheel of an automobile
which was being driven by a wo-
man. The woman promptly tainted
and the car left to its own resources,
ran into a stone wall and caused a
serious accident
The bite Of a poisonous snake
needs prompt attention. Mrs. X.
NJ Fishel, Route No. 1 Box 40,
Dillsburg, Pa, tells how she saved
her life when bitten by a large
snake
"On August %. 1906, I was bit
ten on the hand twice by a large
copperhead snake. Being a distance
from any medical aid, as a last re-
sort | used Sloan's Liniment, and
to my astonishment found it killed
all pain and was the means Of saw
ing my life. | am the mother OF
four children and am never without
your liniment."

rising generation, Monroe county
has pursued the even tenor Of heI
way. Magnificent structures Of steel

principal water courses. A modern
Jail, equipped with every prison APP
pliance has been erected. Provision
has been made for the maintenance
of the poor within her borders IN
the purchase of a county farm, and
the erecting of comfortable tene-
ment houses for these helpless peo-
pie. Contracts covering an expen-
diture of more than $4,000 are an
nually made for the betterment Of
her public roads. In short all the
affairs of the county have been prac-
tically and punctually administered
living within her income.
Monroe county has no bonds out
standing, and it should be the poll
cy Of the Board Of Supervisors, un-
less some exigency should arise. to
refrain from pledging the faith and
credit of the county, in a bond

that with the annual outlay of
money for road purposes, it Is only
a question of time when our public

The plans for the permanent inn

been thoroughly discussed and zap
proved by the three supervisors,

roads cannot be accomplished in a
week, month, or year. The wealth

are both to be solved, and in the
light of past experience, it seems
that all has been accomplished that
has been hoped for. Let us all

thing that viii positively do the very

there is yet no hope Of breaking the
deadlock. Although former Gov
crnor Beckham was nominated by

representatives of the party who re
fuse to ratify the election, and they
hold the balance Of power" be-

cans. For the sake Of the interests
Of the party the recalcjtrants ought
to make a sacrifice of their grudge

deserve to suffer as a result Of the
