They seem to nourlek the vain and delusive Idea that th.y can make the negro and th. so-called trash gang work th. ro»d». But tlm. has proven and will conUnue to prove to me some time ago that the road double taxed (to get rid of the street tax) as they will say and commence to- pull the bell line over a mule and' and to showfreely his improved Ideas of agriculture that he has been try ing to drive Into the noggin of the old planter so long. He may be a benediction - to the race by causing two ears of corn to grow where only one grew, &c., and thpn If the old planter that has reached his two score ten should taken notion to swap place, with him In order to get out of sight of a public road and also to fill a long felt desire to handle the yard stick and try the balances In order that he might show forth to the world how much the greedy hand of extortion Imposes upon them he too might become n benefactor.

Now an to experience Our town brother would encounter tbe vicissitudes of the seasons some times he would have to plant over because It rained too hard and again It rained too light and then again, It would rain so much he would al most come to th; conclusion that he would make all the blades of grass and none of the earn of corn and an other time It would stay dry so long that he would fear he would not make seed and then the experience of fodder pulling, but when he got to work with his mowing machine and rake he would know he was going to get rich at once, bnt when an unexpected shower wets ‘ a few tons and cools bis ardor. J. S. Ward, Jr. ' tax system waB all right If the >3 per capita would do , but that'll was unfair for their property in town to be taxed to keep up the country roads. A casual glance, upon the surface of the subject would Indicate that this view was correct. When the subject was first agitated I took this view of tt and argued that as the city people were taxed to keep the streets worked It was not right to subject their property to taxation for ,ond working outside the city or town. But after thinking about the question from another standpoint I believe the law making men right In requiring them to do their part. Suppose a ditch with perpendicular walls ten feet wide and ten feet deop should he dug around the r.r.les anj loons and laws passed foroidding anyone to put a bridge except the railroad across it. How long do you .suppose the town would he In- krblted. No yellow fever or cholera pinrue would depopulafe it so quick ly. A biff etty like Atlanta n.Jgbt continue to grow provided there was no ethers likewise surround.!, but h smell hustling town like Cairo that Is sntlrely dependent on her country trade would commence to die before night. Even Thomaavllle with her winter tourist trade would^ hare a congestlvd chill before the first quar ter was out. Now friends of the towns ss your Ufs depends on yonr having some sort of roads to your placet of business you ought st least to be willing to help keep or save your life and then asthe life of your towndepends on your having some sort of a, road to your place, don’t it seem reasonable that tbe better the roade are the more life your Iowa wtU have.
