He was ill only a day or two with Eureic ipoison, 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. Going To Txeas Therfc are several families in this county making preperations to move to the state of T#xas in the j Vmr future.

Meyshonemar — j 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 NOTIUE Will pay' bash for beeT hides de livered at Drug store. G: W; M.
