THE PUBLIC ROADS,
The most important matter to the
people of this county and the thing
tuai should interest them more than
ail the political scandals going the
rounus is the poor condition ot tht
public roads. About the only thint
tne taxpayer is supposed to get iron
the county is road improvement. Prac
tically nothing is spent in the con
strucuon or improvement of publn
buddings or cnaritable {fnstitutions
The best advertisement the county cat
get is through the betterment of it.
roads, or rather there can be no goo.
udverusement at all until there ar.
some good highways. It is time tax
payers should realize that they ar;
not putting men in office to sit o.
plush and write on embossed station
ery and play politics. If the count;
otticials would consider themselves a
public servants instead of public fav
orites to grow fat, and more system
aticaily and intelligently expend th.
county's money in road building i
would be only a tew years before Wi.
kinson would stop taking prizes so
bad roads.
There never will be a better time t
start. Outside people have come in am
lOund natural resources here that w
knew nothing aoout. Great beauxitt
kaolin and paper mill industries hav
sprung lup, producing ^thousands o
carloads of material a year. Mor.
people are employed in the count,
man ever before, bringing new lit.
and new opportunities for the count,
io get out of the backward class am
come to the front.
If the officials have in the past dom
•the best they could, they have had s.
many different ideas worked at s>.
many cross purposes that the result;,
have not been what they should. Th<
commissioners would do well if they
would try to learn something from the
ci unties who have succeeded at roa
improvement, instead of going ahea.
with some old fashioned idea tha
never has accomplished anything.
There is nothing that retards th
wheels of progress so much as ba.
roads, and the only help for the bach
wardness of this county is the elia.
ination of su much politics and th
election to office of men who are wiL
4ng- to .be public servants instead <’
puaiic chai e us. The responsibility i;
on the taxpayers to put the affairs o
tne county in the hands of competent
men and insist tuat they get something
lor thea - muife,.
When the candidate comes aroun
scanning yuur vote, ask h.ai if he ua;
any cumuwuve ideas and is wiluu
to co-operate with the other official,
to conserve the county's resources to
i..s improvement. Also consider if h.
is competent. What will it prolit th.
taxpayer to vote for a man simply be
ca.-se he needs the job and the pie.
The only sensible way to look at th
matter is, what can he do and wha
will he do with the county’s funds'.
We need some big men on the jot.
who will co-operate with each othei
and the taxpayers with a view of im
proving our roads, schools and insti
tutions. When these things are con
sidered most important, business con
ditions will improve, land values will
be higher, and Wilkinson county will
have a more respectable s.aadin,
among the counties.
