Ultra Antis

One day last week we passed small
bunch of friends on the street and one
of them called and asked us to come
back to where they were sitting. When
we went back they had one of their
number to tell us about John A. Horton
being Bleasite, and they then began
to berate Blease and his supporters to
fare you WE'LL" They did this be-
cause they knew we were for Horton
for congress.
These friends were supporters of
Manning and Aiken and they knew we
were not supporting Blease, and the
way they Erode" the ex-governor and
his friends was a caution, and became
obnoxious to fair-minded person.
One of these gentlemen, man whom
we actually loved and counted on as one
OF our best friends, was particularly
outspoken, and when we said "Surelv
you wouldn't fall out with a man simp-
~ because he voted for Blease," he be-
came so excited that he actually danced
Jig on the sidewalk and said he sure
ly would.
When we left that crowd we were
nearer to being Bleasite than at any
other time in our life.
we want to say right here that we
believe the unlimited and unsurpassed
abuse OF MIR. Blease in the past by over
Jealous ants has caused him to be ell
ected to office before and it will do so
again if it is kept up.
We 40 not hesitate to say that we be-
heVe the ex-governor has been painted
blacker than he is and has been abuaed
beyond reason. 1t is unAmerican. and
1a'r minded and independent people re-
sent such treatment accorded ANYBODY.
"A certain class of antis are constant
~ referring to Bleasites as a low clasa
OF people. Such supposition is as un-
fortunate as it is untrue. We know
good people who are supporters O,
b'ease as we'll as good people who are
supporters of Cooper and Manning. A,
the good people were never on the sam,
sioe OF any question, and no man can b,

but whichever he is we believe he i

that ne is in sympathy with the masse
OF the people and we believe him to b.

aspires This is why we are support

States to Maintain
u. S. Built Roads

Road building by the nation in
cooperation with the States is
made possible by the acceptance
by Congress of the Bankhead-
Shackleford measure. It has gone
to the President for his approval.
The bill authorizes the Secre-
tary of agriculture to cooperate
with the States, through their re-
spective State Highway Depart
ments, in the construction of
rural post roads. A rural post
road means any public road in
the United States over which the
United States mails are trans
ported. A State Highway De-
partment means any department,
commission, or official or officials
charged with the work ordinarily
directed by highway departments.
The bill provides that the roads
built under it's terms shall be
properly maintained" W h C h
means that they shall be kept in
as good condition as when they
were first built. It is further
provided that the roads construct
ed under this law shall be main
tanned by the States or by subdi-
visions of the States.
How appropriated
The bill appropriated, "out of
money in the Treasury not other
wise appropriated" the sum of
S75,OO0,OOO for the construction
of rural postroads in the States
and S1O,OOO,OOO for the building
of roads in the national parks.
The appropriations are to be
apportioned among the several
States in this manner: One-third
in the ratio which the area of
each State bears to the total area
of all the States; one-third in the
ratio which the population of
each State bears to the total
population of all the States, as
shown by the latest available
Federal census; one-third in the
ratio which the mileage of rural
delivery routes and star routes
in each State bears to the total
mileage Of rural delivery routes
and star routes in all the States
For the fiscal year ending June
80, 1917, the sum of S5,000,00(
will be appropriated; for the ifs
cal year ending June 80, 1918

LEVY COURT HAS
BALANCE
Review of County Finances

Review of County Finances
Considering matters as a whole
it appears that the Levy Court
has wound up it's affairs for the
fiscal year of 1915-1916 with a
balance.
There is a balance in bank, ap-
plicable to general expenses, of
$4,000, which undoubtedly was
welcome news to the county Off
Gals. Against this, however,
there are liabilities, due today,
which will somewhat reduce the
surplus.
Also there is surplus of about
$4,000 in the Third street (River
'FRONT.' bridge account, but this
amount will be reduced in finish
ing up the approaches and beauti-
flying the site, and paying the
contractors percentage which
had been retained.
The various hundreds have sur
pluses of varying amounts which
total about $4,000. This amount
is applicable to roads in those
hundreds only, and is built up by
the Accent road tax levied on
rural residents.
Against these assets, or more
particularly, against the current
, expense fund, there is a remain
der of the county's indebtedness
of possibly more than $4,000.
This amount is what is left of the
100000 indebtedness upon the
county at the beginning of the
last fiscal year. The 80-cent tax
rate, it is said, aided considerably
in reducing this Indebtedness,
which had been carried for sever
al years. 1t is the prediction
that by the end of the present
fiscal year, the continued S0-cent
rate will have completely wiped
out the Indebtedness.
1t is pointed out by trainers of
the county's budget for the fiscal
year that of the S693, 1885 esti-
mated expenditures, the Levy
Court really has control of only
S206,516.25. The difference, S4S7,
1880, is required to be spent by
law, for the election expenses, re-
demption of and interest on
bonds, maintenance of the work,
house and other county penal and
industrial institutions, etc.
Of the amount which the Levy
Court spends as it may see fit, $50
