Dear Sir just received wire

The Injunction.
Very truly, .
w. G. COUTTS.

Il is said the injunction filed by the
County Attorney is part of an effort
to defeat the entire Mayo Trail enter
prise. Already il has had the effect
of stopping work on the plans 1t is
giving the best possible aid to those
who are trying to divert it to the route
leading from Paintsville to West Lib
rrty and Mt. Sterling.
1t is hardly necessary to recitc here
the extent of the calamity that the loss
Df this Federal road would be to Law
renee county. This should be evident
10 every citizen and should cause
general protest .." .....
Is il any wonder that Lawrence
county lost 5000 population between
1910 and 1920? And the worst of it is
that the most OF this loss is made up
Of the best class of citizens who grew
sick and tired of the narrow policies.
the incompctency and the small jeal-
uusios that have prevented any prog
ress in road building or other impor-
tant enterprises.
If the injunction game should prove
effectual in defeating the greatest
enterprise that ever came within reach
of the Big. Sandy valley the NEWS will
cite the people of Lawrence county to
one or more opportunities to use the
injunction in a better place. ..... ~
Cooperation Needed. -.
What the citizenship of this county
keetis,is a broader vision and "A better
spirit of co operation less of the dog
in the manger" attitude, and less pea
nut politics. ...r- '... .. '.. e..
