Macon Telegraph: The nomi
nation of Congressman Clements
appears to bo certain. The Seventh
Would have hard work to find abet
ter representative.
The office of Notary Public comes
by appointment of the Supreme
Court Judge upon recommendation
of the Grand Jury—it’s not trans
ferable for a valuable considera
tion.
The Mills Bill has passed the
House, and we believe in its pres
ent form even, a certain protection
ist of our town would know it if he
“met it in the road.” although a few
months past he declared it would
be doctored beyond recognition.
To believe a majority of the hot
est Republicans and Democratic
Xiapers, we must conclude that
about all the Democratic voters
have gone over to the Republican
ranks, and vice versa. If this'
thing continues we may expect
Cleveland and Harrison to change
Bides.
The ’Executive Committee of
Dade county met at the court house
last Friday, and fixed August 15th
as the day for holding the conven
tion to select delegates to the Con
gressional convention to be held at

PUBLIC ROADS.
The News grows very eloquent
on the subject of roads, but like
the rest of the advocates of the
present system, dwells upon a sup
posed attack upon the good citizens
of this common wealth, and antici
pates us to the extent to accuse us
of wanting to replace the present
class of slaves with more honora
ble oues( ?) I proposed no system.
I never defined my position, except
to the present, law. But one could
readily see that we had no inclina
tion to dodge the issue, llow is it
with the News? One whole col
umn devoted to the foggin of our
weakest arguments. Did ’em fog?
Set the voyagers ol the “May
flower” the heores of inde
pendence, who fled, who fought,
bled and died ior the equality and
independence of themselves and
posterity, come from the tombs to
shed but one tear upon the perver
sion of their will.
Now the News proceeds to show
us that if we would work five days
m each year, within live years we
would see a marked change in the
roads, we have never said there
wAmld not be a change, but we will
usk who made the change?
There are two values without
which we could not exist, except
as savages. They are inseparable.
The oppression of one will destroy
the otiler. l imy are realty and labor.
Oppress labor and realty goes dou n
Oppress realty and labor is worth
less.
The next greater essential to the
development ol men is public high
ways, and they cannot be made
without both labor and realty, and
to do so will result in a failure, an
example of which we have.
Our law intends to invest certain
individuals with power to execute
its provisions, but it bears the
marks upon its face of a disastrous
failure. It lias been in operation
ever since the settlement of the
country and we have no roads yet,
but you will say the law has not
beeu enforced, and will say, it never
will lie, and lor the reason that the
few cannot force tin* many.
In the 974th Dist. there are about
eleven miles of road. It is a long
district. lour miles ofthis r >ad is in
the upper halt and seven in the
lower half, a majority of hands in
the upper naif. Now will the News
tell us how the commissioners can
distribute the hands upon an equal
ity with th«! amount of labor to lie
done. Tell us how an overseer can
eompell a hand to furnish a certain
tool, when that tool was not to be
obtained. He cannot borrow when
there is none to borrow. If
you can eompell a man to use his
hoe, pick or shovel on the road why
not his horse wagon or plow. Right
here wo will relate an incident. Last
year the commissioners appointed
the hands to the respective roads.
An over-seer of one of the' branch
roads warned and worked a lot of
hands belonging to the main road,
after which they would not work.
They were summoned to appear at
trial as defaulters, but were dis
missed upon the ground that they
could not be fined after working
one road. If any sensible man can
see the practibility of such a sys
tem let him arise and explain.
There is no question whether or
not the man who has no land shall
he subject to road duty. I have
never advocated his non-subjoe
tion. Ido not advocate that the
system be so regulated as to bear
equally upon realty and labor, and
not crush one for the benefit of the
other. There are twelve land hold
ers in this district subject to road
duty and many more not subject.
Quote fair jwilh us Mr. Editor, we
never intimated that these twelve
land holders should alone make the
roads, but that (lie land within the
bounds of that district should bear
an equal part of the burden. The
public will please read my article'
again, But.! do Asm { that tin land J
holder could as well afford to pay j
the iji.'UQ as liie man who lias not *
meat for his next day breakfast
could ahord to work five days.
U hat about working that bov
who is only sixteen years old, not
exempting u school-boy, who has
no voice in Slati ai'.'nii.-, die State
provides a small school fund for
the benefit of poor boys, and then
says they shall work fifteen days on
public roads, or in other words
make him pay $2.50 for each dollar
school fund und deprive him of
part of that. It is a shame, and its
advocate is a Herod. J. B. LEE.
Another column for the benefit
of Mr. Lee on public roads, and
yet we are free to confess an utter
failure on our part to locate his po
sition just when we believe we
“have him pat,” he slips our fingers
and says ho “never said it.”
\Y'e do not care to Ixire our read
ers with futher discussion of an im
meterial ssue and will close the
matter this week as far.as we are
concerned.
Why bless your soul brother Lee,
do you think a poor sixieen year
old boy could be forced to bring
upon the road a steam shovel, or a
rock crusher? No, a road hand is
compelled only to bring ordinary
farming tools, even street rollers
are not included in the list.
See Sect, (320, Codeof Ga. for tools
required by road bads. The “inci
dent” related by Mr. Lee, only il
lustrates the meaning of Sect. till,
of the Code, which doubtless Mr.
Lee lias not read. The above sec
tion may give some light on the
matter of an equal appointment
of th?) hands, and we advise Mr. Lee
fo read it, and all our road laws
(whichare not very much) before
he condemns a system about which
go knows so little seemingly
While Mr. Lee seems well posted
on Biblical and Japanese history,
(as per allusion to Herod and
' Mikada) his knowledge of the road
laws seems unpardonably deficient.
By illustration of the 974th Dist.
Mr. Lee give us what he no doubt
considers a difficult problem—its
simply a fox and goose puzzle to
Mr. Lee, and may be worked thus,
to be determined by the distribu
tion of hands. Take every man
out of the “four mile half” not
nmlcd and place him A far into
tiff “seven mile half” as the three
mile limit will permit, drop him
here and carry other hahds afe far
imtho same direction as you may
cTOose, not over three miles from
their residence. See? If this is
not clear, and if Mr. Lee will come
up and take dinner with us, we
will make the whole matter clear
to his inind, and convince him our
present system is not such a bad
thing after all.
Spell the name of Harrison back
wards and you will have the ver
dict of the people next “fall. “No
sirrah.”
