The William Randolph Hearst
political partp, alias the Independ
ence League party and better term
edas political “roustabouts” is
•made up of disgruntled political
straw-grabing beings throughout
the land aM country, who have
tried every denomination of poli :
tics under heaven.
Hearst, the originator, and Chief
Higli-Preist dictator has tried ’em
all. Temple Graves, the brilliant
editor, and second in the Grace of
his majestic dictator, has tried, this
inakesthe second we khow about.
The gentleman with the Sweed
ish name, that heads the national
ticket, we never heard of before
his nomination, and can’t say how
many he has tried, this may be his
unaiden effort. Its enough to know
that he is a Hearst product.
But how about AY. Yancy Carter
their candidate for governor of
Georgia., He has tried all, and lias
attempted more times than one to
gain oflicethrough different ones.
By the time “Little Joe” and the
true democrats, of “stick to the
nominee” brand get through with
him, if there is not anew party
started by that time, he will be so
disgusted with this one that he
will either quit all or rotate.

Picking Plumbs from Mr. Wilkinson’s Orchard
Grasses grow excedeingly well
Red top especially,' Orchard grass
grows better than in the valyey.
Two meadows on this larn> are
well set in these grasses. He also
in a crop of corn and cane.
This man has gained fortune and
fame out of the earth in this section
where the people hereof have gen
erally considered the land worth
less for other than grazing pvrposes.
He has dome it by thrift and in
dustry and has well gained the dis
tinction of being the pioneer fruit
growef and general farmer of Sand
mountain. Mat his experience in
spire others to follow' his example
and develop this wonderful country
and may Mr. Wilkinson live long
and continue to prosper, as he just
1 y deserves to do.
The upheaval caused by The in
vestigation of the State convsct
lease system presents golden opper
tunites for both the state at large
and the several counties to use the
convicts on building roads, in event
thfe lease of them isdoneaway with
and the state concludes to deal with
them direct.
The Governor has recomended
tbeextention of the state road to
the sea with convict labor.
He has also wrote letters to the
proper authorities of each county
in the state to see if they could
handle,and wished a share of them
to w T ork on the public roads. Many
of the counties answered him in the
aff irmat i ve. and some a re excedi ng
ly anxious for a full quota.
The adoption of this plan will,
of course, be expensive to the state
and counties, but in what measure?
Surely not to the extent that it
will be impossible for the counties
to use their share.
The possahility of getting the
convicts to work in building better
roads presents, in our opinion, the
greatest oppertunity that has ever
been presented to improve our pub
lie the lowest pos
sible cost.
The funds to defray this expense
will, as a matter of course, have to
come from the pockets of the peo
ple by taxation as does our present
road money. But if we ever get
good roads we will have to pay for
them. If we were- allowed to go
a long from now uni il ‘Gabriel blows
bis horn” under our present road
system we would have no better
roads then than we now have-
A plan to apply oUr present
road funds) derived yearly, to a
special assessment connected with
the working of convicts would soon
lift ts out of the mud and make
good roads without much extra ex
pense.
Let us get busy on this subject
and take advantage of this great
oppertunitv, if it is one* and build
better roads in Uadecouhty.
This subject is worthy of con
sideration and we invite anyone
desiring to discuss it through the
paper to do so. A column of space
a vveek will bo devoted to the sub
ject and if you care to write more
it will be published as continued
matter. Wake up fellow-citizens
and let us see if there is anything
in this plan for tis. If so, let us go
after it

bought several frying chickens
Tuesday of Eph Page. Among the
lot is one that sings li a bird. It
follows a musical chord and whist
les sweet Strains of mtisic in pefect
concord, like a mocking bird.
There is nothing phe inal in
its makeup, being, from all appear
ance , just an ordinary chicken of
the common variety, but its gift of
song is something singular.
While ye Edithr was nosing

ed by the Chicken singing in the
coop* He bought it, not for its
musical accomplishments or to cage
or the odity of the thing, but for
the usual purpose and satisfaction
of gnaw ing the.meat from its bones j
when it is put thronsli the frying
pan process.
While the fowl might bring a
good sum of money With the circus
people, as a curosity, most likely j
it will have sang its last song be- I
