THE ROAD QUESTION AGAIN.
• now w
The public road , question is nf ,
goiting to be a serious matter.
The ooolilHlous rain.
tho roads to bo badly cut up int0
Been 1 and ugly mud holes, and in
■
many places , they . are almost im
passable for any sort of loaded
vehicles.
But tho road commissioners,
seers, nor anybody J else, is responsi
lie for this condition of the roads.
Owing to the continuous rains of
the past two months it has been
Utterly impossible for the road hands
to keep their roads in good condi¬
tion—especially so where tho road
bed Is red clay,
But our lato grand jury has re
commended a change m our road
laws, so as to enable tho county au
thorities to have tho roads worked
under contract, or with hired labor.
» The feiAit has advooated such a
plan for more than fifteen years, and
wo are glad the grand jury has
last made tbetrecommendation.
We believe the public ' roads
ahould bo let, under plans and spec
lfications, the same as other public
works are let, "'.a an>ry man
• aubieot to road duty,
baVo tho option of paying li io »’OiuJ
tax either in money, or work at so
much per day.
In this way wo believe in a few
years wo would have good roads,
which could bo kept up at hut com¬
paratively a very small cost.
As tho grand jury has mndo the
recommendation for a change in our
road laws, it now hehoovcB our peo
plo to jo thinking about tho matter,
laws .•nil eWflsvnr l<> tlulOl to liliuu i the
arc accessary meet
wants or necessities of our county.
A plan for working our roads should
ho formulated and agreed upon by
our people, before the bill is drawn
and presented to the legislature for
its enactment into a law.
There is but little time to lose, as
the legislature meets in July, and
the bill will have to bo advertised 30
days beforo it is introduced in that
body. i
The Stab will be glad to have tho
views of’our-people on this subject,
and will take pleasure in laying the
same beforo our readers.
The Silent Tents
All cf the great heroes o{ tho war,
says the Philadelphia Times, now
ste'ei* in tbe City of the Silent.—
Beauregard is alone among the liv¬
ing of those who commanded a
Southern army in a great battle,
and be commanded at Bull Run in
1861 onlj’ until Johnston reached
tho field, and ho succeeded to the kl
command at Sbiloh only after the „
fall of A. Sidney Johnston, while
Rosocrans is tho only Union general
left who commanded in a great bat
tie. Leo and Johnston, who led the
Army ot Northern Virginia, and
Scott, McDowell, McClellan, B u ni¬
aide, Hooker, Meade and Grant, who
Commanded the Army of tho Poto
mac, all Bleep the dreamless sleep ol
tho dead. Sherman and Thomas
who met Bragg on Missionary Ridge
and Hood whose army perished be¬
foro the assault of Thomas at Nash¬
and Sheridan who led tho pur
suit of Lee to Appomattox, and
Lyon and Curtis and Price and Me
Cnliough who crimsonod the fields
of Missouri, and Lincoln and Davis
constitutional Commander-in
chiefs of the blue and the gray—all,
all are at peace in the grave. And
of the scores of great lieutenants
who led their corps or grand divis¬
ions in desperate conflicts, only her,
and there is one who survives
—
Jack>on, Hill, Ewell and Stuart,
whose names are inseparably inter- I
wwvcn with tbe heroism of Leo’.-I
»iuiy: and Hancock, Reynolds,
Sedgwick and Sumner, whose names
are indissolubly linked with the
achievements cf the Army of the
Potomac, all have passed ttway, and
the only officer in active service to
day who fought an important battle j
is Gen. Schofield, now commander-!
in-chief ot tho army. His bloody j
VK-‘ >r 3 ai Franklin was the prelitni- j |
ni ,rv stiugglo of Hood’s annihilation
at Nashville. The heroic actors of
our civil war have gone to their
final rest, but their heroism will be
remembered like Grecian and Jios
man story of valor, and while free*
dom shall have worshippers, the ho¬
roes of a saved and redeemed repub¬
lic will live in grateful memories.
A, Fins Business Town
The city of Roanoke, Va,, which
has sprung from less than 6,000 to
more than 20,000 population in the

Ilecd the Warning
It is not infrequently the case
that itching pimples and irritating
-‘cat boils” are the forerunners of
larger boils, or tho more serious car¬
buncles. Invariably Nature puts
* m t l.Hi- .lun.r.ir Menials, and they
pics and little boils show that tho
blood is not in a good condition and
nature is trying to relievo tho BJ'S
tern. A few doses of Swift's Spe¬
cific at this juncture will accomplish
wonders. The eruption will be
healed and the system cleansed of
its impurities. The- modern para*
phrase of the old saying, “A stitch
in lime,” etc., is that “Timely stitch¬
es will save nine pairs of breeches.”
The modern form has a touch of hu
mor that doos not modify tho truth
of it. In that vein, wo nuiy say
I t ] it a course of Swift’s Specific
pre
vents ills terrific.
