The Road Oueotlop in Ware.
Warcsboro, Ga., .Tan, 110,—Edi¬
tors Way cross Herald: In regard to
the public roads in Ware county, 1
know they are in worse condition
at present than tjhey have been for
many years, although there has been
me,re work done on, them in the past
five years than has over been done
in the fifty years preceding. There
are many hands under the present
road law subject to - road duty, but
many cf tb,em are, transient laborers,
having no tools, except possibly a
turpentine hack or club a.\ -wholly
unfit to work a public road -except
to cut logs and other obstructions
out of tlvy way, which does ;:pt % niakc
-a road.
Now,, this system of road work
has been and will, always be a fail¬
ure. There was a while before the
county commissioners got that un¬
wise idea of a pauper farm into their
heads, for the purpose,-of economiz¬
ing the expenses of’ qur.county, that
we,could get tools tp.work the roads
'with from the county, but since they
have fathered that institution, which
is now becoming an elephant, it
takes all .the cash in the county
treasury to feed it. And we can’t
get any tools from those economiz¬
ing commissioners to do any work
with, lvance tho bad state of our
public roads, hut we are taxed to
pay interest on . borrowed money to
keep ftp this poor farm. I non; state
right here that I do not charge any
one with mismanagement or dishon¬
est dealings,.but with simply enter¬
ing into a thing without due consid¬
eration. The trouble is, we have
no farmers on the board of county
commissioners that know anything
about the cost of raising the pro¬
ducts of our land, or things would
have been managed differently. It
would be cheaper for the county to
board its paupers at the best hotel
in Way cross at §2.0, per month than
to go upon the scale they are.
I for one say abandon this pauper
farm and give the needy aid as here¬
tofore, sell the farm to some one for
the amount the county luis invested
in it, if it can be done; if not, get
what can be gotten out of it, put
our convicts upon the public, roads
of fliis county, ami cm- county offi¬
cers upon salaries iiwiccardanee with
,the work they do,,and cover all fees,,
fines and commissions into the treas¬
ury. We would then have a, mor«
liberal pauper system—that is, one
that would be of benefit to more
needy people at a..less expense than
jt is to a few now. We would then
have better..- public, roads and less
court expenses. There are several
Streams in, our. county that need
bridging, but it seems that oar
treasury is financially default and ia
in no condition,to bridgo anything.
Why is this? It is not because tho
people have not been taxed enough
or have not paid what they were
taxed. It is simply because we have
tho most extravagant legalized offi¬
cial system in this state and county
of almost any country in'the world.
It costs about 80 per. cent to col¬
lect and pay. otit a dollar of public
money, leaving, only about 20 per
cent for public utility, and this
jsmali amount will, hardly maintain'
our pauper system as it now is,
much loss to build public bridges.
AH this to maintain a great horde
of public officials at large salaries to
do little or no work at all for the
good of tho common people of our
county. A less-number of officials
at half the salaries, they are now
getting will give to the public as
good service as is needed, and leave
more money-for improvement of our
public highways and other things
that would be of interest to all . the
county.
This is my policy, alid as the rep¬
resentative of this county I shall
make every effort to carry it into
effect. 'Respectfully,
J. R. McDonald. •
Ware seems to be following Ir¬
win’s lead. Commissioner Hender¬
son organized a county chaingaiig
about a month ago and the work al¬
ready accomplished is being comple¬
mented on all sides. The tax rate
•is to be kept stationary by reducing
other county expenses sufficiently to
cover the cost of th4 ehaingang,
Representative McDonald is on the
right line, and the only one that
will give wi regrass Georgia credita¬
ble roads..
Commissioner Henderson bas in¬
augurated a road improvement
scheme that is at once practical and
patriotic, and we expect to see
neighboring counties fall into line
and spread the good work.
The Dispatch is always glad to
see .public money diverted in a way
that will largely beneiit that class
upon whom we all depend for our
prosperity—the farmers—and it is
admitted by all that good roads will
he of vast benefit to them.
Dangerous Probing.
She had. concluded to take out a
life insurance, policy and appeared
before the extfipin.ing physician.
“What’s your name?” he asked,
in his‘crisp business way, and sbe
looked indignant ps she answered.
“Age?”
“I didn’t come, here to answer
impertinent questions, sir. I came
to be, injured.”
“But we must know your, age in
order to fix the rate.” *
“What rate?”
“The amount you must pay an¬
nually for. being insured.”
“Thirty-three, then,‘’shesnapped.
“You must be accurate,, or it will
invalidate the policy.”
“Forty; but I must say that I
never heard such impudence.”
“Weight?”
“I don’t know, neither does any
one else. Just as though that
would make any difference!”
“Married o'r single?”
“Single, thank Heaven! Not but,
what I’ve had plenty of chan—•”
“Of course. Any insanity in
your family?”
“Sir!” and she tried her best to
congeal him with a look.
“I guess that you don’t want to
he insured.”
“And you. guessed it right the
first, time. I don’t propose to be a
family encyclopedia for you or any
other gossip monger,” and she
flounced out with a vigor that made
the doctor think she was a pretty
good subject after

• Murder at Chauncoy.
Mr. E. J..Osburn,, the city mar¬
shal of Chaunoejy. was foully mur¬
dered by two young negro man on
Tuesday last, whose names have
been reported to us as Will Wilson
and Jerry Stevens.
The horrible crime was commit¬
ted in a negro house situated in
Chauneey’s suburbs, It seems
that the marshal was •summoning
hands to work the streets, and on
entering this house for that purpose
these young buck*, as is supposed,
were gambling, as there were quite
a number of cards scattered- over
the floor, and whether to evade ar¬
rest and forever hide their crime, or
to vent their spleen on the marshal
for having previously arrested at
least one of the parties, they, as is
supposed, deliberately shot him, one
hall entering* his breast just below
the loft nipple, passing into the
heart and killing him instantly,
the other two fired missing the
mark. The parties were pursued
some distance with dogs, but with¬
out success.
Mr. Osburn was over 'fifty years
old, was a peaceable citizen and the
tragedy is deeply deplored. He
leaves a wife and several children.—

LaGrippe is again epidemic. Ev¬
ery precaution should be taken to
avoid it. Its specific cure is One

and Advertiser, Elden, Mo;, says:
“No one will bo disappointed in
using One Minute Cough Cure for
LaGrippe.” Pleasant to take, quick
to act. Luke & Ashloy.
Au-nt-Sofrony, in the Ocilla Dis¬

others.” Wonder if the old lady is

along this line?—Tiftoh Gazette.
