STRONG PLEAFO HOME MERCHANTS

am in a position to know that
larce sums of money are going, es-
pecially in the spring and fall, from
our own home people in Augusta
and in Highland, to the "l>i> Nail
Order Houses" OF Philadelphia, New
York, Chicago, and elsewhere, that
by every consideration of policy and
expediency ought to be kept al
home. Our own Staunton merchants
have always on their shelves, or in
their houses, everything that enters
into the consumption of home;
and whatever our people may need
in the way of merchandise may be
found right here; and Isubmlt that
it is the patriotic duty of every l.
dividual who feels the slightest in
terest in our on local prosperity
or who desires the upbuilding Of
our own section, TO keep their mon
ey at home by patronizlng our own
home merchant.
There are no circumstances and
no conditions that would justify a
citizen of Augusta county or the
city of Staunton in sending his Or
der for an article of merchandise to
a mail order house in New York or
Chicago in preference to making
the purchase in Staunton. If you
do, you ars simply building up Il
foreign community and tearing
down your own. You are contrib
uting to the prosperity of other 10
calities, while at the same time, the
weight of your influence is being
used to impoverish your own.
1t is the personal interest, as it is
the highest patriotic duty OF every
man among US as far as NAV be, to
keep our money at home by tie en-
enlargement of home industries.
home enterprises, and by patronlz-
ing our own home people.
Any other policy in the long run
will be financial suicide.

Road Commissioners

Mr. Editor:
Please give space for a few words
in defense of the noad Commission
ers of Highland. His first inheri-
lance is an Office he enters bound
hand and foot. Itmakes no differ
nee how small the change in the
road in his district he first has to
consult the Board of Supervisors;if
they see fit to grant the favor, he
gets the change, provided he can
Get some one to do the job, but he
must bear the blame all the same
whether be gets ii or not. Next
he is cussed and discussed, first by
the people, because he don't make
the Contractors keep their sections
in the best shape possible, and then
by the contractors because he tries
to make them earn some of the mon
ey on their road contract. Now,
suppose we look at both sides OF
the case. What power has the law
given Mr. Commissioner? 1t requires
him to 60 over the roads in his dis
trict once every month and make
written report of the condition of
every section of road and if he finds
any section in a bad condition a
second time he can then apply to
the Commonwealth Attorney and
have said section sold out again at
the expense of the contractor. But
what is the use of selling out any
section second time when said
Commissioner had to 60 begging
last year for contractors? | would
say at least one-third of the sections
in the county either had but one
bidder or none at all, and went
begging for one. Nom comes the
law and the Commonwealth At
tornev to enforce it, which says
Mr.. Commissions shall be indicted
and fined i: any section is found in
bad condition, and possibly the
Commissioner has used all his In
huence to have the contractor put
his section in good condition. Now
my friends, how do you think 1t
would do to indict the contractor
and thereby put the blame where
it belongs, and have the Commits
sioner and his report to prove the
condition of said section, and if the
Commonwealth Attorney can
prove the Commissioner has made a
false report, give him the benefit
of the law, too. Justice is mighty
nice thing but it is often misplaced
in tie dealing out.
Now please let us look at the pay
of said Conn The law says he, can
receive two dollars per day or sal,
airy not to exceed one hundred and
fifty dollars. The Supervisors are
always looking after the County's
interest and Justly SO. too, hence
they allow him two dollars per day
Now please deduct 81 so per day
for board and hore feed and he has
fifty cents for himself and horse, tc
say nothing of his worry, trouble
and vexation of spirit, and if there
is any one looking for trouble 1T
him apply to any one of the trio Of
Comr's. aud | think he will find him
ready to give up his job. Citizen
