Cement Bridges.

Cement Bridges.
The cement bridges are composed
entirely of steel and cement. The
floors of cement are sufficiently COW
cred with dirt so that the wheels of
heavy traction engines do not injure
them. At yesterdays meeting the
contracts were let for three more OF
the structures, M at Yegen's farm,
another south Of the John SWEET
place, and the third in Teller town
ship.
The heavy rains of this season
have done much damage to the wood
en- bridges, washing some Of them
out completely, and greatly weaken
ing others. Up to date, there have
been four cement bridges built in
the county, and contracts have been
let for eleven more, all of which will
be built this season. They vary in
length from twelve to se~venty-ive
feet. ",r
Road Work.
Contracts were let yesterday for
a quantity Of road work also. The
most important Of this is the work
on the road crossing Hay creek. A
cement bridge has already been built
there, and the approaches will be
graded at once. Also, the road will
be Strengthened by the cutting down
OF the two hills in the way. This
will necessitate the removal of 5000
cubic yards of earth. Hugh Fortune
got the contract, at eighteen cents
per yard.
BurIeigh Honored.
The commissioners recently ar
ranged for the making of an enlarged
picture of w. A. Burleigh, after whom
Burleigh county was named, and this
picture was today hung in the com
m%issioners' room at the court house.
MIR. Burleigh was a prominent poll;
tician of Dakota Territory, living at
Yankton. His wife is still living
there, but Mr.. Burleigh died a num-
Der Of years ago.

POPERY HAS BEEN THE CURSE
OF THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND,
BUT a FAT THING FOR THE
PRIESTS,
PRIESTS.

Mr.. Editor: A little squib in your
last issue drew my attention to the
part the people of Ireland are play
ing in the great movement of the
twentieth century
While I see an occasional Celtic
name on the side of free thought and
free speech, the great big ignorant
majority are ranged up on the side
of Superstition and the Romish
church.
Is it their fault, or has the ques-
ton been properly put before them?
| think it has not; because when
some man like Crowley, or Hogan
sets out, he brings many with him,
and causes a lot of uneasiness, worry
and disturbance, to those he left be-
hind; much more so than is appar-
ent on the surface, if we except the
nUthinking mob; in fact, he leaves
a s,nouldering fire, that could be
easily famed into q blaze, that would
startlo the world, when it takes %
full wind, and will make things hum.
I would suggest that some indie
pendent writer, like yourself, Mr..
Morton or Gauyin, would show by
short articles or squibs, how the peo-
pie of Ireland have been treated,
bounded and crushed, by the Italian
clergy there, from Adrian's Bull, in
1172, until today, when they are
moro miserable than ever, although
more religious, and more priest rid
den; while tomorrow they may be
iii the same position as Mexico, spill
ing their neighbours blood or en-
brOiled in Civil War.
Believe me, they are not all Anglo
Saxon, nor Italian Irish, and that the
result of the trouble will repay the
effort, for I know many Of those
Irishmen who claim they could find
no freethought literature at home as
we Americans have here, and they
are ticl1Ied to death when they find
Or read a paper, which points out
the absurdity of the Italian or Rom
ish claims on the people Of Ireland
and Of Scotland who never allowed
Cesar or his legions to tax their
lands, but finally drove him beyond
the Alps and destroyed every vestige
Of the brutal civilization that brought
him into being.
If this can be done, and it can,
without insulting their own nation
ality or their manhood, there is no
doubt in my mind, but in q line up
for truth and justice the Celt would
be always found on the side Of free
thought and freedom of speech as
we'll as an unfettered press.
Do, please, try the experiment,
and you will have the thanks Of
many q grateful and constant reader.
Yours truly,

A LETTER FROM FLORIDA
THROWS LIGHT ON ''DIXIE,"
ON LENGLE, ON McNAMEE
AND ON SENATOR BRYAN.


Dear Sir: Have just finished
reading the last Jeffersonian, and
note what you say in regard to
Dixie" Claude L'Engle's paper. AS
you say, your friends in these parts
have always voted to man for your
friends BroWard, Stockton, and when
you said the word two years ago we
sent Bryan to the Senate andL' Engle
to Congress.
And now Bryan has deserted us,
and his name is Dennis.
L'Engfe has allowed a fraud to be
perpetrated on the people by allow
ing McNamee to own Dixie while
We all thought L'Engle owned it.
I think McNamee is the same man
who came into our County with the
Tampa band and allied himself with
others to bring the saloons back to
our fair town; if he is the same man
I have been told he is Roman
Catholic.
You must fight the Devil with his
own fire.
I wrote Chas. G. Jones a letter
when he jumped on Paul C. Jones,
the Christian preached of Jackson
Vile, but never a word did get from
him. They can only defend their
course through abuse, boycott and
riot.
Now 1 think the proper thing to
do is for the people to drop Dixie
and Claude too A Colonel Lewis is
going after Claude's place; he is
from the town of Kissimmee, and
while l don't think he is the best
man in the district, Claude has come
SO far short of what we expected Of
him, we can't go him any more.
Your reference in this weeks Jeff
to the speech you made in 1888, car
ried me back to old Alliance days,
when we thought we were going to
get some relief through organiza-
ton, and some through politics.
But alas! the disappointments Of
man are many. We have but one
man left who has stood firm these
many years, who has preached the
doctrine of equal rights for all,
special privileges to none-Thos. E.
Watson.
All honor to McCrory of Schley
County, Ca, in his fight for the
school children. McCrory is strength
ening, while McMichael and Brittian
are losing in their fight for the book
trust. 1 was born in old Schley
County, and raised in Marion, and
love old Georgia, but it seems she
is now in the grasp Of the politicians.
But the people are waking up, and
the Goliaths and others are going to
find Georgia hard road to travel.
$50 mote it be-" is my prayer.
In regard to the negro Johnson,
and the postmasters and postmis-
tresses-it reminds me of Cleveland s
last election; the nearest l ever
came to fight was in old Taylor
County, about turning out a post
mistress because her father-in-laW
was a Republican; she had been eff
cient in her duties, she was widow
and was raised and married in But
ler.
May God bless you, the Jeffs and
all the force.

Many doubt that Tate was struck by
a car. An unidentified ColOred man halt

ran. The motorman found Tate lying at
least fifteen feet from the track with
every indication negativing the idea that
he had been thrown that far by car.
