Voice From Charlottesville.

Editor News
l left home few days ago for Tay-
lor. Green and Adair counties, looking
for some young cattle. Had quite a
pleasant trip, excepting the mud l
encountered The roads were some
thing awful. I was frequently load
for two horses.
I do not believe Adair county, filled
as it is, with the best people on earth,
will stand idle much longer, but will
go to work to better conditions. En-
terprise, energy and industry is all
that is needed to start the ball rolling.
For the working people, the poor peo-
pie, it would be money making is
sue-bonds or any other plan to fur
nish that class with work through the
off seasons; and as the men who own
property and have money would have
the most to pay, let them pay it, then
ride it out in automobiles and rubber
tier buggies. The working people
could then haul their produce over
good roads
l am now over three score and five,
and do not expect to make many more
trips to Adair county, but to show
you that 1 feel an interest in my ma
tive county, make this proposition:
If you will undertake to build five
first-class pixies toward the five ad-
joining county seats, to-wit, Liberty,
jamestown, Edmonton and Green's
burg, to the Adair county line, for the
ones you finish l will contribute Sl00
or $500 for the five roads. Let your
own people, according to ability, do
likewise, or raise the amount by bonds
and taxation-anyway that suits,best
Do something, start something. Re-
member that l am not citizen of the
county, and in all probability will not
visit you a dozen more times during
the remainder of my life. Get busy
and show the world that you will no
longer drag behind; that you want to
arrange for yourselves and for your
children and grandchildren to get out
of the mud. If you viii do as 1 have
suggested in less than ten years you
will have good pixies leading in every
direction from Columbia
Very truly,
j. C. Yates
