Condition of the Roads in Unity
Section.

We do not like 20 complain.
We have tried to follow the ad-
vice of the Irishman who said,
"Be patient, and if you can't be
patient. be as patient as you can"
The good book says, MY heart
was not within me, while 1 was
nursing the fire burned, then
spake l with my tongue"
This ls now the second year
since l have known these roads
and they have not been worked
In that time. But the travel goes
on all the time, the washing rains
continue and the road taxes have
been collected regularly, and the
roads get worse all the time. In
some places they are almost I'M
passable, and even unsafe for
night travel.
We therefore call the attention
Of tie road authorities to their
condition and mention the fol-
lowing considerations.
1st. The road is one of the ru.
raj route mail delivery roads. In
fact it is Route No. 1, the first es
tablished in the county.
End. There was an unusual
amount of travel over it last win
ter and spring. In addition to
the vast amount of wood hauled
i nto town there are two sawmills
which hauled large quantities of
lumber to the railroad and to
town for building purposes.
Then the Southern Power com.
psny has built along this road to
Monroe, and has hauled out
heavy iron and steel material for
their towers and wires, besides
their workmen, camp equipage
and supplies. This extra hauling
has cut up the road badly.
3rd. The North Carolina line
runs through the upper portion
OF this section. The roads are
we'll work ed in North Carolina
and the tendency is to turn trade
to Waxhaw and Monroe, that
would, other things being equal,
60 to Lancaster. We pay our
taxes and so far have got nothing
for them, and have to travel over
misera BILE roads, or else 20 to
North Carolina.
Now is the time to work the
roads. The farmers are laying
by their crops and many of them
would like to get work of this
kind. If the contracts were of.
fered now, and especially in short
sections, there would be no dit.
ficuIty IN getting them oil taken.
We hope this work will be
neglected NO longer. Let US have
good roads all over tho county.
1t can be done. and it ought 70
bo done promptly. c. 8. Y.

JOB PRINTERS
IN WAR PAINT
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO BID
ON COUNTY WORK NOW
THEY WANT CHANCE TO
HARPOoN COMMISSIONERS,

An acute stage has been reached
in the question of the awarding of
the county printing by competitive
bids. The matter will be brought
to some definite conclusion at the
meeting of the commissioners Fri
day, when contracts for 16 jobs of
printing are to be awarded. The
commissioners say the letting will
be on basis of honest competition
or there will be no contracts let,
hence have asked 26 printing
offices in Spokane and outside
towns in the county to present
bids.
The members of the Job Print
ers' association of Spokane do not
manifest any disposition to break
away from their schedule of prices,
and 1t is believed that they will
make one low bid on each con-
tract and then protect such bid by
having all of the other bids just a
little higher.
Commissioner Phillips today
said: THE commissioners have
had more trouble with the award
ing Of the county printing on an
honest, competitive basis than all
the other supplies combined. We
are not price cutters; we believe in
live and let live policy, but
pledged the people when we made
the race in the primaries that we
would award all orders for supplies
to the lowest bidders.
Personally, ! am willing that
the printers should receive the
prices set forth In their schedule,
but believe that they should de-
duct therefrom the commission of
Is per cent that they allow their
agents for going out and rustling
up the business
e. w. Suites, who Is member
of the printers association, stated
today that his bid just presented
was the last one he would make If
not awarded the work. He made
the statement that the printers will
spend money to defeat the new
members of the board of commits
sioners should they come up again
for re election.
