PUBLIC ROADS.

The present system of working
county roads does not secure
good roads. In some counties
the contract system has not
proved success. In others it
has. No doubt the wide differ
ence in results has been owing
entirely to the management.
Rankin county needs better
highways and the board of super
visors can do nothing that would
be of more lasting benefit than
to devise some way of securing
them. To let them out by con-
tract seems to be the best plan
and frame that contract so as to
get the results aimed at, with
compensation to the contractor
that will pay him a fair sum for
the work done. Don't be mig
gardly with the man doing the
work, but don't squander the
peoples money either. Each
sides interest must be fairly
dealt with and there is no reason
such terms cannot be arrived at.
A fair test should be made by COM
mencing at the northern bound
airy of this county and working
south, through Brandon, to the
Simpson county line. Then
start at the Scott county line.
through Clarksburg, Pelahatchie
and Brandon to Jackson. It
matters not to The News where
you start or where you end,
gentlemen; the main thing is to
make a start and don't stop until
this county's highways are as
good as possible to make them.
If necessary to tax the lands
adjacent to each road, a nominal
sum per acre, do SO; you have
the authority and the increase in
the value of the lands so taxed
will cause the owners to bless
you in years to come, though
some few may kick until the
fact is demonstrated.

Theodore Roosevelt has said

Theodore Roosevelt has said a
great many sensible and useful
things. This which should be
regularly kept in mind and made
operative in all good farming, is
one of them: Il would live to
point out that you can never get
the right kind, the best kind Of
labor, if you offer employment
for only few months, for no
man worth anything will per-
manently accept a system which
leaves him in idleness for half a
year.

Judge Norrells efforts. The

Mr.. Editor: In the last weeks
Granddaughter the insinuation
was made that the board Of
supervisors had Disseminated
against the public roads leading
into Jackson. The truth of the
matter it is just the reverse. 1t
is a matter of record that the
county pays a stipulated sum
every year to man to look after
and keep in repair the bridges
on the pike this side of the
Parish bridge. No other road in
the county has that advantages.
Furthermore, the board has re-
spected the request and petitions
of citizens Of Jackson in naming
the overseers and that the roads
leading towards Jackson have
more tools on them bought by
the county than any other roads
in the county, and | venture the
assertion that there are more
hands on those roads than any
others in the county with the
same miles, you will see from
this that the statement is not
true and is very unjust to the
Rankin Board. In riding over
the roads | find less work done
on the roads leading into. Jack
son than any others in this beat,
SO you can see that the condition
Of the roads is not the fault Of
the board.
