The lIIeeOsuHis Road.
To the Public

! ~ Vic = NbtA|
Criticisms have been made of the &C.
tion Of the county commissioners in the
matter Of ordering and constructing q
new piece Of the MiccOsukie road at the
point where the Florida Central Rail-
road, now being built, required some
one hundred and twenty-five yards of
the MiccOsulZia road for its road-bed.
And q writer in the True Democrat of
April II makes complaint about the
cost Of the new piece Of road, and about
several other things, including the in
creased rate Of taxation.
The fEats (which should be the only
basis Of sideration in dealing with
the acts bf public oficials) are as fol
lows
The railroad company could have had
the land which they needed for road
bed condemned. To resist such pro-
ceedings would have cost the county
considerable in legal expenses. The
commissioners took the best means of
avoiding such conflict by prevailing
upon the railroad company to bear the
expense Of filling in from the banks of
the ravine to the bridge, which filling
would have cost the county not less
than three hundred dollars The entire
cost to the county Of making the new
road (about three-quarters Of a mile)
and building the bridge was two hum
dred dollars (S2O0). If the railroad
company had procured the legal con-
demnation of the part of road needed.
the county would not have received
therefor as much as the commissioners
have obtained through the arrangement
made with the company for the filling
in above mentioned.
The petition for the laying out Of this !
new road was signed by ninety-fve per |
cent. of the citizens resident in the VIE !
cinity, and criticisms therefore comes
with bad grace from any one who thus |
signed
So far as increase of taxation is con-
cerned, the commissioners are respon-
5ible for only one mill Of the increase in
county taxation, and that was levied
Tor the special purpose of repairing the
county roads, which every citizen knows
we're in bad condition and this fund,
)f course, is being used solely for that
purpose. The school tax is the largest
tenn Of county taxes G. mills), and that
8 levied at the instance of the school
)oard by the county commissioners, and
expended by that board exclusively.
The Increase in the State tax rate Zone
nd-One-half Mills, the commissioners
re, Of course, not responsible for.
The foregoing statement is made for
he information of all who are not "a
ALTAR with the facts.

the left hand. Little was thought Of it
at the time. On Monday the dog bit a
cali. From this time on he became
vicious, swapping at everything that
came his way. Thursday night he died.
friday he was thrown out in a grove
saturday they became concerned about
Il and went out and brought the dog in

health Tor examination. The examina-
tion was delayed, but the following
wednesday the Negri bodies were
FOUND IN the brain. This meant the
oog was mad. 1t was then ten days
since the young man was bitten. He
was ADVISED to take the Pasteur treat

vice and was given the first injection

EVIDENCE CONCLUSIVE.
The evidence that the dog was rabid
may be summed up as follows:
Flrst-He had all the clinical svmp.
toms of hydrophobia, from which he
Second-His brain gave the micro.
scopical evidence of hydroDhobia
Third-The calf bitten by him, after
the required incubation period of eigh-
teen days developed the symptoms of
the disease.
:Fourth-The brain Of the calf like
wise showed the Negri bodies.

matter for speculation. His mother

object to Strong Medicines.

Many people object to taking the
strong medicines usually prescribed by
physicians for rheumatism. There is
no need of internal treatment in any
case or muscular or chronic rheuma-
tism, and more than nine out Of every
ten cases Of the disease are Of one or
the other Of these varieties. When
there is no fever and little (if any)-
swelling, you may know that It is only
necessary to apply Chamberlain's Lini.
ment freely to get quick relief. Try it.

Your issue Of the 10th inst. contained

carefully read anC fully considered bv
the rank and Gle Of Jackson, cOuntv's B
Democracy, although the political com
binAti0n inferred necessarily must prove
a failure when IL confronts the Demo

History records that Napoleon lost
the battle Of Waterloo because Blucher
failed to deliver the goods" It Is a
splendid thought that irrespective of
political combinations, we have in our
power 70 record our disapprOval Of such
men and methods at the ballot box.
For the man who will not vote to free
himself from the domination Of such
men and measures, evidently needs the
education he will get from them.

zone Touch Of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kin"

When a rooster finds a big fat worm
he calls all the hens in the farm yard
TO come and share 1t. A similar trait
OF human nature is to be observed
when a man discovers something ex-
ceptonally good-he wants all his
friends and neighbors to share the
benefits Of his discovery. This Is the
touch OF nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people
who have been cured by Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy write letters to the
manufacturers for publication, that
others similarly ailing may also use Il
and obtain relief. Behind every one
OF these letters is a warm-hearted
wish Of the writer to be OF use to some
one else.

should this bill pass it would re-
quire an entirely redistricting of
all the Southern States, as it
would be impossible for the
smaller number of Representa-
tives to be chosen as the districts
are at present divided. Another
thing about this bill is that by
breaking up the present Con-
gressional districts it would en-
courage the negroes of the South
to cone forward and vote, and
many contests would have to be
settled.
