The time for the nomination Of
county officers willlsoon be here,
and before some man comes out
and asks for your vote is a good
time to say what you want to
without being considered per.
sonal. Of course all candidates
will be good men--in fact nc
other kind ever run for Office
but the past and what the candi-
date really counts for should
come in for your consideration.
Men that have acted bull-head'
ed and done things against
which the people have said that
they did not want, should not re.
ceive your support.

IT seems to US that the fellow
that only pays his poll tax has al

the fact that a portion of that is
now to be taken off and placed
elsewhere means that the fell
lows that have always paid well
for the privilege of owning prop
erty will have this burden also.

that the national government
will withdraw revenue men from

be elected that will pledge them.

SEVEN BRIDGES TO Be BUILT.
County Commissioners Let Contract
for Bridge Work.

seven new bridges on the Rox-
boro :road, the contract being
signed and one firm getting all
the work. The bridges will be
built by the Carolina Engineer
ing company and the total cost
will be about $4,000.
All seven of these bridges, one
200 feet in length, another rs
feet long and others from fifteen
to twenty-five, will be of rein
forced concrete and will last, so
it is claimed, for generations.
The bridges are to be of the same
material and same system of
work so it was stated as that
used in the construction of the
of the railroad viaduct at Rich
mond and the standard bridge
work in the state of Maryland.
The structures will be of rein
forced concrete and the system
of this work is known as the
Kahn system of reinforcement.
Many experts say that these brid-
ges are worth several times the
worth of steel bridges and will
last indefinitely.
The contractors enter into
bond in a sum equal to the en-.
tire cost of the bridges to guar.
antee the work and protect the
county against frauds of al
kinds. This bond will be in
force one year from the compile
ton of the bridges. Work is h
begin at once and two of thu
bridges, one of the long one
and a short bridge, are to b
completed not later than Novem'

Where the Man Should Walk.

A matter that Is debated nov ana
then OF late Is in regard to the posi-
ton that a man shall take when e.
corting a lady on the street. In this
country he always takes the position
next to the curb. In Europe he takes
the inside place. the theory being that
in case OF any trouble he would crowd
the lady IL en- the outside and give her
less opportunity to escape. II the es-
cort is on the right and the crowd
turns to TIE right. Il will b more like
ly to josie the lady.
