a democratic ROAD peoples road
free TO all the people. Il can be used
at any hour OF minute in the day, and
by everybody alike, and at all seasons
of the year. The one great advantage
in macadamized roads over the T,simeval
or old-styie roads IS that they make
practical local traffic at all times Of the
year and in seasons when such traffic is
practically cut off on account Of bad
weather. We make the statement and
challenge contradiction that hard road
to the lake or to any other point in the
county would be worth more to local
trade than the railroad, and when the
cost Of construction is considered the
hard-surfaced highway is far more prac-
teal and profitable. A hard road would
cause more travel and traffic locally
than all the railroads that can be built.
"A hard road TO the lake would draw
more trade and cause more local activ-
ity than the extension Of the railroad to
Hickman will bring TO these people
anywhere along the line.
The perfection of system OF public
highways is the acme, the sum bonum,
of local public improvement, and hard
roads for 0bion County would mean its
commercial and industrial supremacy.
A hard road to the lake would mean in
finitely more to Obion County and I'm
ion City than the extension of the Dy-
ersburg Northern from Tiptonville to
Hickman would be to that county.
Citizens of Union City, let's get to-
gether and put in motion anera of pub
lie improvements. Get something sub
stantial and practical and work it out
on that plan.
A hard road to Gibbs with line Of
taxicabs would make Union City practi-
cally a station on that road. A thing
Of this kind would have been worth
Of dollars to us years ago.

The Fiishermen's Side.

A long article to the Jackson Sun
published last Sunday is credited to an
Obion County representative or friend
OF the fishermen. The party writes OF
the recent reports that the Nightriders
had posted a notice on Burdick's fish
dock to close the dock and states that
he cannot comprehend why the bearer
of such reports should so openly say
that said notice was posted by Night
riders, since not one person in the re-
gion of the lake saw any Nightriders on
the night that the notice was posted.
The article further criticises Mr.. Bur-
dick for the statement that an errone-
GUS impression had gone out to the
effect that the fishermen are not per-
mitted to sell their fish to any other
than himself and that they cannot put
up as many docks as they like. The
writer of the article in the Sun states
that this is disproyed by the fact that
Mr.. Burdick issued injunctions against
three different docks, and that these
docks paid higher prices than Mr.. Bur
dick The article further charges Mr..
Burdick with culling beyond all reason.
Mr.. Burdick is also criticised for not
only monopolizing the market, but clos
ing it at intervals altogether when he
finds the market glutted and preventing
the fishermen from doing anything at
all during those intervals.
Now we do not know who is authority
for the article in the Sun, whether it
came bona fde from a fisherman or
from some man representing them, In
the article it may be seen that no state
ment is made as to whether or not the
owners of the three docks which had
injunctions served against them had
paid the royalties assessed by the West
Tennessee Land Company.
Mr. Burdick stated to us that he never
refused any man the right to sell his
catch provided he paid his royalty
There are always two sides to a case,
and The Commercial is simply publish
ing these things to lay before the pub
lie the claims made by either, without
to take the part of one or
the other. Mr.. Burdick on the other
side claim sthat several of the fisher
men have not paid for the nets he fur
nished them, but he is still paying them
Tor the fish they catch.
As to the point made that Nightriders
we're accused Of posting the notice, it is
not known, of course, who did the post
ng. The paper was not signed. But
he mere fact that the notice was posted
ed to the popular belief that it was
either by the organization or some
riend OF the organizations However
his may be the handwriting OF the
original notice has been traced and the
IDENTIFY OF the writer is not very hard
o determine, so we are informed.

The Side Of Enterprise.


Recently there has been little talk
along the lines OF making some addi-
tons in the way Of transportation lines
to Union City. Those on the inside
have talked to officials about the extern
sion Of |. @. connections to Union City.
The Commercial has no official state
ments to make, but there are very few
weeks that we don I have an inclination
to make some observations. For in
stance we have mentioned from time to
time what we take to be the greatest
civic improvement of the age, and that
is the construction OF macadamized or
hard-surfaced roads. In the history of
all nations the improvement Of the pub
lie highways has been notably empha-
sized in the progress and development
OF the commercial world and national
supremacy. Everybody in this end Of
the State knows that Jackson has grown
to be the metropolis of West Tennessee.
OF course Memphis is one OF the great
est cities in the South, but it is the COM
mercial and industrial center for several
States. As West Tennessee town
proper Jackson is the largest CONNER
cial and industrial point, and this repu-
tation has been more generally recog-
nized since the construction OF system
of macadamized roads in Madison
County. This growth is real and prac-
tical, and it has figured comparatively
much greater than the city of Jackson
as railroad center.
These facts are introduced to show
the benefits of hard roads and otherwise
to point fact. The Dyersburg North
ern Railroad is to be extended from
Tiptonville to Hickman, and we have it
upon very reliable authority that plans
are now in the process OF adoption and
that the proper means are in the move
ment to complete this road at once.
That being the case we now reach the
point in question, and that is to build
hard or macadamized road to Reelfoot
Lake from, Union City to counteract the
trade movement which may be reason
ably calculated to follow the extension
OF the railroad to Hickman. This is of |
course the suggestion that moved this
article, but it is believed by men who
are much better informed than we are
that hard road to the lake would be
UNNECESSARILY Of more advantage TO
Union City and the county generally
than any other proposition as a com
mercial and industrial enterprise.
There are a great many impractical
things financially and otherwise about
the construction OF electric railway lines
in sparsely settled localities, and dunn
my lines are not to be considered in
this day ofprogress To use a political
term hard or smooth surfaced road is
