huRRAii FoR sPARksl-

! was glad TO see in the announce
ment column of the Big Sandy News
last week that Meredith Sparks IS a
candidate for County Judge. There is
no better man in the county. Every
body has confidence in him. He is a
good business man. He has made a
success of his own affairs and this is
the best proof In the world that he can
handle the county affairs in q business
like and successful manner. Road
building and maintenance is the thing
that means more to the people than
anything else that the County Judge
can do. A man of good business judy
ment is needed to direct this work.
Mr.. Sparks is man who has made no
mistakes in managing his own busi-
ness
He is strictly honest and would see.
that no graft takes place under his
administration. He belongs to no fac
tion and would give all parts OF the
county and all the people the same
treatment. Nearly all his life has been
spent in a remote part of the county
where the roads have always been bad
and he knows by experience the great
Importance of doing something for the
people in this way.
The people over in this part OF the
county are glad to hear that Mr..
Sparks will run. There was call for
him four years ago. but he would not
go into the race. A CITIZEN.

DRAIN MUD HOLES
BEFORE MAKING REPAIRS

II is reported that on some OF the
repair work now being done on county
roads the holes containing water are
being filled with dirt without draining
the holes. The result OF this. or course.
is that mud is formed and the wagons
that pass over the places sink to the
bottom and pull the mud out.
II these reports be true those who
are responsible for spending money on
the roads shoyld refuse 10 pay for such
work. II is an inexcusable waste OF
money. Mud holes should first be
drained, and ditching done that will
carry the water away Then when
Allied the repair work viii stand. Piling
large rocks into hole full OF water Is
another bad practice. The water
must first be gotten rid of In any
event. Large rocks simply mako rough
places in the road, harder 10 repair
than dirt.

from going and he postponed the trip
until some time next week.

stop the project by suit II the route
selected does not go certain way. Mr..
Posey said IL this determination is per-
sisted in he will recommend to the
State department that nothing be done
on this road project, as the State must
be free to use its judgment as to routes
and has no desire 10 take up any new
proposition where such obstacles are
assured even before the survey starts.
