s Reports from all sections Of
the county are to the effect that
sthe appointment 1.of the Citizens
Cominittee and plcdgeby the Fis-
cal Court to spend in each rlagis-
terial istrict on its own particular
roads,a sum equal to that which
that magisterial district pays un-
der the Special tax, if voted, have
2 made i wonderful change in The
sentiment of the people toward
the Decent road tax proposition,
NJ Many of the most prominent
citizens of.the county who wcte
openly opposed to voting TO a
road tax on account Of the old
system that has prevailed, now
that they will both vote and work
for the tax. They say that they
feel that with the splendid set of
men who have been named at the
1 .hS1 of the proposition, and to
N road program for the
county, that affairs are to be con-
Quoted along business-like lines,

One we'll known farmer re-
marked to the Daily Register
II know most of the men person
ally on the special Citizens Com
: mittee and know that anything
they are. connected with is going
to be put on the square, and fair
and above board. With those
men in charge of the couhty's
, road program can see no rea-
SON for any citizen to hesitate
longer"
MANY farmers who had intend
ed to vote and work against the
special road tax, before the Citi-
zens' Committee was named, have
now expressed themselves in fa-
vor of it. One of the best known
of these is Hon. Harvey Chenault.
He said to the Daily Register re-
porter on Friday afternoon:
A"Well, I'm glad to see we're
citing the road situation in
shape where we can hope for
some good roads. | had intended
to not only vote but work against
the voting of this special tax,
but under the plan that has been
formed, with a splendid Citizens
Committee in charge, and the
money being spent fairly over the
different sections of the county,
/ will be glad to support it and
. vote for it. ! think the plan to
secure some sort of permanent
road that will not wear out every
few years, is also good one"
Other well known farmers and
. citizens are taking the same view
of the situation as Mr.. Chenault,
and the special tax seems now to
be gaining friends every day.
The people seem to have conf
dence that the special Citizens
Committee composed of Messrs.
T. S. Burnam, T. K. Hamilton, T.
J. Curtis, John w. WEIGH, c. 1.
Searcy, Sam Million, T.. w. Tay-
lor and L. w. Minter acting in
conjunction with. the Fiscal Court
will see to it that the taxpayers
get a dollars worth of road work
for every dollar they vote, If
there is man in Madison county
who has nerve tocthink otherwise
ahos.t shis splendid set of men he
I Yen found Y! yet,
wants a good road, is being urged
to tell his friends and neighbors
of the fair and square arrange
ment that has been made; of
fthe assurance that has thus been
pledged to the people that their
money is to be. handled wisely
and a fair square deal givenevery
man and every community in
order that a full vote in favoro
the special tax may be gotten out
to the polls on November 4th. Ia
M Old Madison must be taken
out OF. the rut and n1irc. a
