About (ibod Roads.
Editor Tribune:
We notice a lengthy epistle in
last ycek's Tribune on the pub-
lic rdad question, which induces
us to write' on the same subject
this week. We notice that Mr.
Subscriber bitterly condems a
special road tax for road pur-
poses. We disagree with him on
this and recommed a special tax,
of sufficient magnitude, to be lev-
ied on all taxable property to
maintain a scraper and a crew of
of hands in every precinct, to
buy land and widen lanes, at low
wet places, and to put in culverts
and bridges wherever needed.
Until this is done no roads of re-
pectibility can be had. The
present road law, relative to citi-
zen labor, is good enough. All
that is needed is to inforce it, but
how on earth can a road be work-
ed, snch as the Jennings lane,
When there h no dirt to make a
dump? The place, in question, is
a nuisance, to any well organized
community. The lane at this
particular point is too narrow, in
which to whip a cat decently, and
there is but one way to remedy
it, that is buy land and widen it.
We are aware that the parties
who own the land along said
lane have consented to sell the
the land to widen the lane, but
who will buy it except by special
tax. If the land can be bought
by the county, at this place, then
the road can be elevated and
drained.
We believe there is too much
of the public money going into
salaries, to enable our officials to
maintain secretaries while they
walk the streets, take trips, talk
pdlitics and have a good time
generally, Wc are opposed to
any" such tom-foolery, and think
that it would be advisable to
elect men who desire the office at
smaller salaries, and who will
rigidly enforce our present road
law. What is true of the public
roads east of Bartlett is also true
West, North and South.
We are aware that the roads in
some localities in the county need
a greater expenditure of labor
and money than others, to keep
them m first-class repair, since
that is true, we believe that a
special road tax by precinct, or
locality, should be voted by the
people, on themselves, to main-
tain the roads in that particular
locality. A special tax of this
kind, in addition to the allotment
by the county would enable any
precinct to keep her roads in tip-
top style. This special tax could
be levied and used as in the case
of special school taxes. Take
the Bartlett and Holland pre
cinct tor instance: in tnis pre
cinct a greater effort is needed to
keep the roads up than is needed
in western Bell county, where
the roads are more gravelly and
rocky.
We feel sure that if the peo-
ple in Bartlett and Holland pre
cinct knew for certain that their
money would be used at home,
for home roads, with the most
economical expenditure they
would be willing to vote the tax
tomorrow to maintain a scraper
and crew of hands on the roads
the year round. The county al-
lotment of money could be used
to keep up bridges and culverts
and buy land to widen laden, all
work being done by citizen labor,
as at present. Reader.
Dr. J. S. Chapman, presiding
elder of tho Georgetown district,
M. E. Church, South, preached
.to large Congregations here last
Sunday, morning and evening at
the Methodist qjiuriih. The ser-
mons were of the highest order,
and greatly pleased tho auditors.
There was a feeling abroad, and
justly so, too, that the retiring
elder, Dr. Nolms, could hardly
be" equalled, but after hearing the
discourses of Dr. Chapman, tho
shadow of apprehension gave
place to no of delight, and oy-
ory one seemed satisfied to per-
mit Wilder Nolms to retire ,to the
good, easy pastorate at George-
town, altho' he's an awful good
rtreacher to be "spoiled" with
suoh aTazy job. Bro. Chapman-

What Makes Cotton-
A number of newspapers and a
greater number of dry goods box
prophets are predicting a big
cotton crop as a sequence to tho
great "season" we have in the
ground. The champion pre-
cedent for same, as quoted, was
the overwhelming crop of 1882,
following a winter very Jmuoh
like we havo been experiencing.
Tho Tribune farm editor hates
to pose as an iconoclast in this
matter, but memory must act a
part in the performance. Mem-
ory says that in the early part
of July 1882, cotton in this part
of the vineyard was about as sor-
ry as it ever gets to be, and the
farmers were awful blue about
it. About July the 4th or 5th it
rained and then kept it up all
summer, not going longer than a
week at a time without a
copious shower. If the most ex-
perienced cotton farmer in Tex-
as were to order rain, to suit him,
he could not improve on the
schedule of summer rains

It is now very generally con-
coded by scientific papers that
the days of the steam locomotive
are numbered, that electricity
will be the motive power of the
near future. Indeed, it is now
rapidly displacing steam, power
in many parts of the world. In
England they are using electric
locomotives on the old establish-
ed railroads. The safety and
economy bo clearly in favor of
electricity are so great that the
ohange must come rapidly. Men
with money are not so blind to
their own interests that they will
spend twice as much money as
is necessary to accomplish the
desired result. And tho econom-
ical feature will make it practi-
cable to build roads that will
prove very profitable in localities
where steam roads would be for-
ever unprofitable. In many
places in the United States, elec-
tric roads are making good
profits off tiaffio, in stuff that
steam roads would not handle.
Electrio plants in small towns
will furnish light, heat and mo-
tive power on intervillago roads
that will, in largo measure, take
the place of coal, wood and
horses, because it will prove so
much less expensive. The eleo-
tnc era has come. Most or us
were born a good deal too soon
to see tho magnificent dovolop
mont that the near future" will
disclose,
A Templo dispatch says : ,"J
E. Yantis, of Waco, was in tho
city yesterday on his way to Pe-
cos City, where ho is to ropresont
O. D. Jarrel, of this city, in the
trial of tho man who murdered
his brother some weeks ago a
that place."
Bartlett may not boom like a
cannon this yoar, but she will
keep up a rumbling noiso, which
will indioatb that something is
doing.
