The Henderson county road bill
reached the Senate On Friday and went
TO the Committee on Public Roads.
Senator Cloud had previously receiv-
ed a number of requests from Hen
derson county democrats to hold The
til for a hearing by opponents Of the
measure and Mr., S. Y. Bryson ar
lIyed Saturday morning armed with
bottoms, containing 230 names to OF

petitions, which are q dressed to
Senator Cloud. set forth:
we, the undersigned working dem
Goats of Henderson county, do NOT,

Charge OF a oLlt1 of magistrates, one

SIC County Commissioners. We favor
a commission of three TO be appointed
iy this body, who shall have active
direction of the road improvements
and maintenance and the appointment
q a full time road supervisor, who will
hn responsible to this commission. We
also favor any other amendments to
tie present road law which will faci-
ltate more efficient service, and bet
ter roads for the County"
Mr., Bryson does not think the peo-
pie of the County generally have any
idea of the provisions of the bill sent
Gown early in the session, and which
passed through the House without a
hitch. He can see no reason for pro-
posing to turn the road system over
to the republican commissioners and
appears to have a mighty strong
hacking in the pIc+es5 he will make
IL the passage OF S bill. A substi-
>ate vii ~plo1ablc : offered for the
. .ckson bill IL Tie Senate, in which
efect T. mate, mOuld have to go
back to the House for concurrence in
the Senate Amendment. Represen-
tative Jackson says it is a democratic
fight in which the republicans of the
County are not deeply concerned.
However, he will stand by his guns
il the proponents of his bill insist up
on its passage without change. The
probable result will be the passage OF
q bill in harmony with the progress
OF the times and all differences ami
cably adjusted,
There are no names of republicans
on the petitions brought down by Mr..
BrysOn and this fact is having weight
with Senator Cloud, who seems anx-
ious to what a majority Of the people
tmant done. The names Of men promi-
rent in the town and county, some Of
them being public officials, appear on
abe Bryson petitions and this means
that the argument is not ON n side.
The point is being made, and with
sane force, that the country people
were not consulted in the preparation
of the Jackson bill and that they have
a right to be heard, since they must
bear their proportional part Of the
taxes for road maintenance.
Senator Coward, of Jackson County
1eaves today for his home. He goes
as a member of the committee on State
institutions and will visit the Cullo-
whee Normal and other educational
plants before returning To his post OF
dutv at the State capital The Senator
will be away the greater portion o.
