Watch out for records. There will be an airing in the coming cam paign. Oh ! what fun it will be lor the boys. 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 Cedartown September (3th.« Let all the Clements men past.- (bis in their hats and !>*■ here to warm things up.

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.” G EG RGlA—Dade Co u n t y , Whereas J. E. Patterson admin istrator of L. F.
