ROAD BILL SLEEPS.
Continued from LIST page.

feel that / could consistently re-
main silent and permit a matter
which so vitality concerned my
people to go through. For the
little assistance | have been able
to render opponents of the bill, l
have no apology to make to any
man or set of men. AS a citizen
and taxpayer of Henderson
county | have a perfect right to
be heard upon matters affecting
the interest of myself and the
people concerned with me
make this suggestion because a
few individuals have complained
on account of my attitute with
reference to the Ray bill, which
can, in no wise, be considered a
democratic measure. Hence my
opposition, which is unalterable,
in that it is clearly in conflict
with a democratic form of
government. 1t is evident that
the citizens of Henderson county
prefer the management of the
public highways to remain in the
hands of the justices of the peace
and, so far as | am concerned,
their wishes shall be respected.
Yours very truly,
M. L. SHIPMAN.

nine days left in which to COM
plete it's work within the sixty
days limit provided in the consti-

can draw their per diem of four

got down to real business some
time since and the indications are
that all important measures will
be put through the mill'' in due
time. The house has been hold
ing night sessions for more than
a week and this means that

LATER: The Ray bill was
upon motion of T. C.. Bowie, the
representative from Ashe, recall
ed from the unfavorable calendar
in the house on Monday and re-
ferred to the committee on prop
ositions and grievances. So the
fight has begun anew, and it is a
political contest this time. The
subject matter contained in the
bill does not enter into the calcu-
lation at all. But the contest will
be fought out on the floor of the
house. The bill could not have
been recalled from it's resting
place except by unanimous con-
sent, but not even Mr.. Rhodes
made objection, I am told. S.

CONSERVATISM IN
THE SADDLE

Republican newspapers and
politicians appear to be worried
over the conservatism that is
being shown by the democratic
members of the present General
Assembly. The minority mem
bers have tried hard to manu-
facture campaign thunder dur
ing the session for consumption
in the campaign two years hence,
but the concensus of opinion
would indicate that they had
failed utterly. The majority is
moving forward cautiously and
there is little likelihood of any
very progressive" legislation
being enacted at this session.
Some go so far, even, as to put
the Weaver and Lockhart anti
trust bills in the catalogue of
progressive measures and
these, too, stand in the danger
of defeat, despite the plain plat
form declarations by the State
democratic convention at Char
lotte in June, which no intelligent
man can fail to understand.
The Lockhart bill, after being
held by the senate judiciary
committee for three weeks, came
back on Thursday of last week
with an unfavorable report.
Nine members of the committee
voted to report unfavorably the
original bill, while eight votes
were cast for a favorable recon-
mendation, the two republican
members standing with seven
democrats for the substitute Of
fered by Senators Bassett and
Slow. The original Lockhart
bill was reported to the senate,
as the recommendation of the
minority members of the COM
mittee, who stand for real trust
legislation to which the demo-
cratic party in the State is
pledged. This opens the ball
for a war 9of words" on the
floor of the senate, with the
chances favorable to the adop-
ton of the substitute, if the ten
republican senators should de-
eide to vote on the proposition,
as did their colleagues on the
committee. At this writing a
final vote on the proposition had
not been reached in the senate
and the result is a matter for
speculation, Notwithstanding
platform pledges at both Denver
and Charlotte last year. Funny,
isn't it?
The special message recently
transmitted by Governor Kitch-
in to the General Assembly, in
which he urged effective anti
trust legislation, does not seem
to have '''clearified the atmos-
phere." It is pointed out that
he left a loop-hole through which
"tenderfoots'' might easily be
able to extricate themselves, in
that the suggestion was made

THE AUTO BOULEVARD.

What will be the answer to the
Atlanta Journals question, What
will the counties do?" i'm regard to
the automobile route from Atlanta to
New York? That paper, after an ex-
haustiye 'heart-to-heart talk" with
its readers, gives these pertinent
facts and suggestions:
"Much has been accomplished in
the development of this road. but
much remains TO be done. The one
task to which we wish to dedicate the
best energies OF our nature from now
on Is to establish a paved boulevard
from Atlanta to Roanoke, Va. there
to connect with the world-renowned
Shenandoah Valley turnpike, which
leads directly to Winchester, Va, and
Gettysburg, York, Philadelphia and
New York.
We can conceive Of nothing which
will contribute more to the progress
and prosperity Of the States travers-
ed by the national highway than to
make it one continuous boulevard,
every inch of 1t paved with stone in
the most approved manner of up-to-
date road-building.
I'm order to accomplish this
twenty-five counties located in four
different States must cooperate with
zeal and determination worthy of
this great enterprise. Fulton county
is already active and alert in the mat
ter of road-building, and DeKalb has
set pace which is the admiration
and envy Of every other county in
Georgia.
''But it is necessary that this work
should proceed along definite and Off
cial lines, and we hereby call upon
the authorities of all these counties
to inform the Journal if they are
willing to do their part toward build
ing the paved boulevard.
what is true of the counties in
Georgia is equally true of the coun-
ties In other States. In South Caro-
lima there arc Cherokee, Spa rtanburg,
GreenviIlc, Anderson and Oconec: in
North Carolina there are Rocking
ham, Guilford. Forsyth, Davidson,
Rowan, CabarruS. Mecklenburg. Gas
ton and Cleveland"
1t does seem that this national
highway ought to appeal to the States
Of South Carolina, North Carolina
''''' ''''' oi' WY us
completion would draw attention to
our country in a manner and with
such force as nothing else will.
What will Oconee's answer be-
There is but little to be done by this
county, as the highway touches only
a small portion OF our territory. 1t
would be pity for us to stand back
and fail to do our part on Oconee's
few miles of this great route. We
do not believe there is or will be op-
portunity given to do a little good
road building within our bordres
that will pay I better dividend in the
long run. 1t will bring us, along
with other counties and other sec
tions, into notice, and to attract at
tention to our undeveloped resources
is what we ought to do.
Let us put our best foot forward
by doing our part; to stand idle and
do nothing means the receiving OF a
black eye. 1t is up to us to choose.
Which course will we pursue?
