construct a first class public road

people have been interested in
the project,

culated on the streets in this city
Saturday afternoon, requesting
the county commissioners not to
construct the road. The citizens
of the county living away from
the towns say that expenditures
and work are needed on the pres¬
ent roads of the county before
the construction of any »e\v high
way is commenced, and that
there are now two fairly good
pablic roads between these two
towns. There were a number of
signatures to the petition, and it

County Comissioner.
A new coup was effected in
politics last Thursday when Mr.
Walter Jackson of Baeonton was
elected county commissioner.
The election was held for the
districts of Raiford, Sale City
and Baeonton. The only known
aspirant lor the office up to the
day of election was Dr.-H. H.
Jones ot Sale City. So sure was
Mr. Jones and his friends of his
election that they did not go to
the polls in any considerable
number, and he did not know
that any one else was running for
the office until Thursday night
after the election was over, when
he was informed that the voters
at the Baeonton and Raiford dis¬
trict had voted solidly for Wal¬
ter Jackson of Baeonton.
The Baeonton District went,
solid for its home man, the only
vote cast there for Mr. Jones lin¬
ing that of Mr. Jackson himself.
The number of votes cast in
the three districts was 2» L
bS were ehst at S*!e - City,
are excellent men, and White tfc
county would have been satisfied
with the election of the Sale City
man, they are nevertheless thor¬
oughly satisfied with the election
of the Baeonton man.
