TAXATION THE ONLY WAY
Taxation is tho only avenue to Rood
roads and until the people can make up
their minds that they are wiilinfr to so
ehnupe the constitution as to authorize
the levying of a sufficient tax to make
and keep up good roadsthere is no earth-
ly use in talking any more about good
public roadt for the Times can fraukly
tell them now that they can never have
good roads in the absence of taxation for
that purpose DentonTimes
INEFFICIENT KOAD WORKING
In passing over the roads I find many
of the overseers deficient as to the most
efficient means of road working The
most of our roads are newly laid out
having but little or no work expended
beyond the removing of timber and
brush and in many places not even
that much of the lands that our roads
run over being waxy hogwallow land
that holds water after a rain Wherever
there is much travel they soon become
impassable From observation it seems
that the most important work would be
to work plows scrapers and shovels iu
ditching In many places the worst hog
holes extending nearly across the line
could be well draiued by the
work ot plows and scrapers in
a single day with ouo or
two teams Where roads are
Hat overseers would do well to pass over
their roads after u heavy fall of rain By
observation they would see the best op-
portunity of draining and make a note of
it for work in summer and ditching to
the best advantages I find much com-
plaint from overseers that mauy of tho
good citizens who have good teams
neclect or refuse to furnish teims for
road work which seems very inconsistent
when we see the same man driving his
team through the deep mud and water to
market with but half a load Yet he
will go on the road through the summer
and while away line long summerdays
with horse or ox when with one good
days work with teams and scrapers ne
would accomplish much and economise
bv saving his time when the roads are

There is much bemir said and written
on the subject of good county dirt roads
This is au important subject of discussion
because so intimately connected with the
welfnre of both town nnd county The
great burden of the articles which ap-
pear in the public piiuts almost every
week are calling for the remodelinc of
the present laws or the enactment of
new oues or in lonjr price spun theories
as to tho most successful method by
which good roads may be established and
maintained But wo have more of these
theorists treating of tho establishment
of good roads under the present
law Any law upon the statute
is of no value or efficiency unless
put in motion It is like an engine
without steam as valueless as anything
can be nothing moro than waste paper
and its eflicieucy or inefficiency never
will be developed without the motive
power puts the machine in operation
Kaufman county under the present law
is securing bridges over her streams
She has made this advance movement
eminently successful by judicious man-
agement We undertake to say that the
force at command under tho present law
judiciously and industriously managed
would put aud keep every road in the-
o uuty in good condition
Many are the people who remember
tho road from Terrell to Kings creek in
the direction of Kaufman which was
every spell of wet weather impassible al-
most to equestrians Moro than a year
ago Senator J O Terrell asked to be
appointed overseer of this particular
piece of road fully tho equal of the
worst iu the couuty IIo at once though
not subject to road duty iu that precinct
made uso of the means at command and
there never has been a time since when
that piece of road was not in a fair rea-
sonably good condition The force and
time is ample t > put all public roads in
reasonably good shape
We demand ot the overseers of roads
aud their hands that they attend to this
matter as they would their own private
business and let the peoplo seo if prac
tice wont excel linespun theories If
they wont do their duty then wo com-
mend them to the tender meroies of the
county officials and if these dont do
their duty well wo had liked to have
said we would recommend them to tho
care of Jim Hogjr but then hes got his
hands full of certificates issued to rail-
roads for sidings Terrell Register
TURKIC ROADS
The object of good country
roads is attracting more attention
throughout tho stato than almost
any other question now before tho
people Good roads have always in tho
past been a mark of a high order of
civilization and there can be no more
onerous tax on the farming class than bad
roads as no other class suffers as much
as the farmers from this With bad
roads the farmer cannot haul more
than half of his produce to market that
jo can on a good road besides it takes
a third longer The public roads in this
county were never worse than at pres-
ent It is almost a matter of impossi
bilitv to haul half a load over the roads
aud from some portious of tho couuty one
can hardly come to the county seat in a
vehicle The majority of the overseers
have worked tho five days allowed by-
law aud very htlle good was accom-
plished Besides ih mud the roads are
full of chue holes and in driving the
wheels will drop in one of these holes
almost up to the axle to the great dan-
ger of the wh r
This thing ought to be remedied hut
how this is tobe done is a hardlmatter to
decide Wt however thiufc itlmt the
j
sentiment that is aroused throughout tho
slate will compel the next legislature to
pass a law that will insure bettjr rouds
tUan we now have and that the people
will demaud a change in tho present road
lat
Wc will tcko as a fair example the
pul ic roads of this county From till
accounts the roads all over the state
are about iu the samo condition as they
are in our county The full amount of
tax allowed by laxstfor road aud bridge
purposes has oeen levied collected aud
exhausted aud the roads arc almost itn
ttdablo We need relief The farmers
should demand it and we see but
otie remedy at this time There is
every year levied aud collected from this
county 300 road aud bridge tax
our commissioners court would
now if
issue
bonds to the amount of 15000 based
upon that levy they could with that
amount make all of the roads in tho
county firstclass roads and put them in
a condition that the five days work or
even three days work a year would keep
them in splendid lix It would also bo
the means of enhancing the value of
every acre of laud within one mile of the
road at least one dollar per acre Build
good roads throughout the couuty and
there will be such a settling up of the
county with live enterprising citizens as
was never seen before
On uext Monday our commissioners
court will meet and if they could see
that it was the wish of the people to havo
good roads we doubt not but that they
would issue bonds and have the roads im-
proved And if they do so it should be
done between this and next fall It
could be so worked that every farmer in
tlie county could after laying by their
crop work at fair wages on the road that
is nearest and most important to him It
would be a source of relief to our people
to get this work at a time of the most
fearful depression and it would not add
to the county tax one ceut We teel a
deep interest in this county and while to
us individually there would be very little
benefit wo do think that the prosperity
of the county demands it is there in
every community one live energetic man
who will get the sentiment of his com-
munity and come before our eomrais
soners court next week and urge upon
them the importance and demand for the
people good county roads Rains
Couuty Record
SPEAK OUT ON THE SUBJECT
The way to get good roads is to enact a law
that will enable communities to spend money to
make good roads And the way to enact such
law is to elect men who favor such legislation
And the way to elect men favorable to such leg-
islation is to arouse the people to the necessity
of and profit in good permanent roadwaya And
this is the duty of the press Keep the ball
rolling Fort Worth Gazette
Let tho ppoplo require all candidates
for the law makinc department of tho
state government to speak out iu meet
in with no shufHiug under kiver
on the road question and lot the people
elect those to stay at home who havo no
well defined road making policy or who
are so far behind tho times as to enter-
tain the opinion that new Texas can get
good roads by the use of old Texas meth-
ods This is a sure aud saTe route to the
solution of the question Decatur Post
PUBLIC ROADS
Tho Post would favor the issuing of
bonds by counties aud also working both
stato aud county convicts on the public
highways Houston Post
Leave off issuing of bonds and Texas
Farmer is with you Then devise a scheme to
raise money by a state tax for highways for the
oenefitof counties entire and not for any par-
ticular town in counties and Texas Farmer is
with you Then let the towns or cities com-
peting for trade build theirown roads to the gen-
eral highways crosing the counties and Texas
Farmer is with you Texas Farmer
A state tax enffii ieutly high to pay
cash for good highways through the black
laud area of Texas would about bank-
rupt the average farmer and busiuess
man to pay it Public bouds are not
healthv things to have around loose
but eyen a few of them would be better
than confiscation by taxation Nor cau
the public road question be put off much
longer they have become a pressing
necessity more to the farmer than any-
one else and some means must be de-
vised to supply them The Farmer is
mistaken in assuming that the towns nnd
cities would be benefited the most by
good roads In this county it wouldin
crease the value of farming lands 100 per-
cent but there is no probability of town
property being enhanced in tho same
ratio Reagan Herald

THE MIGHTY FALLEN
A Flourishing Gnnibler o Years Aco Now a Sot
on tlio Str ets of New York
Special to the Gazette
2kw York March 1 A score of years
ago one of the biggest gamblers in the
city and in the country for that mat-
ter was James Col way The story of
his life is not without its parallel but it
1s interesting inasmuch as it has a moral
of its own and is a confirmation of the
old saying that 111 got ill gone and
Money illegally obtained has wings and
flies away
Twenty years ago the bailiwick of all
gamblers in this city was in Ann Bees
man Nassau and Fulton streets Park
Row Chatham street and Lower Broad-
way They did a thriving business for
it was just after tho war and the speedy
resumption of business had its material
effect on gambling The bright particu-
lar star of this little colonv of sharps was
James Col way tho Pat Sheedy of his
time Colway lived in grand style He
had his costly home his richly furnished
room at a downtown hotel He paraded
the sunny side of Broadway in tho after
uoou dressed in style and smoked costly
cigars Diamouds glittered in hir shirt-
front and on his lingers aud his manners
had a peculiar charm about them that
won him hundreds of friends
At tho old Long Island trottiug
course he was a conspicuous figure
But it was iu tho lair of the tiger tfiat
Colway was seen at his best When
feeding the rapacious maw of the luxuri
aut beast was ho the synonym of suavity
aud gentleness His voice was mild
but with a mellow ring that charmed
men so they poured the contents of their
pockets on his table Success followed
him aud his tiger devoured thousands of
suLstautiai busiuess men Money poured
into his coffers until he was worth nearly
1000000 That was James Colway of
18io to 1870
Today James Colway is a wretched
drunkard His fame wasuotsuddenit
wa as gradual as slow poison He began
to elbow iu the doors of prosperity mostly
for good fellowship reasons and in a few
years tho appetite had mastered him
He was au educated man and he fought
his enemy determinedly but collapsed In
tho end His money dwindled away
from him his frien Is forsook
him he hecame nervous and
irritable He lost cunniue with his
hand with which he was wont to manipu

late the pasteboard but still ho main-
tained his gentlemanly bearing and ad-
dress Eventually he fell so low
that tattered clothing was sufficient cov-
ering for bis liquorsoaked body but
even theu he was as courtly aud profound
as in his most flourishing days
This morning Colway stood before
Judge Taintor in the Essex Market court
a perfect wreck His clothes would be
scorned by a junkman His shirt was
dirty and unlaundered and his face was
covered with a weeks growth of hair
He ran his long thin Angers very much
like ladies fingers through his iron gray
hair and respectfully bowed to the court
Colway said the judge the
officers say you were drunk What have
you to say to the charge
I admit judge replied tho old
gambler and the tone of his voice was
like the notes of a flute i have been
ill with intermittent fever for some time
and yesterday i took some quinine and
whisky It used to cure me in the days
long ago and his voice had a sad
mournfully back reflect iuto the past
but I could stand the strain no longer
I guess I got drunk
What is your occupation at the pres-
ent
For the lack of something better I
address envelopes I havent drank any-
thing in a long time Im doing my best
to recover and then ho gazed into the
judges eyes with a good deal of his old
time fire and determluation
Ill have to fine you 5 for your
break
Judge Im very grateful 1 assure
you aud he bowed respectfully and
turned aside He appreciated the fact
that flvodavs on the Island would get the
rum out of him

Special to the Gazette
Fort Smith Ars March 1 Deputy United
States Marshal A Wilson arrived here today
from the Creek Nation with Gibson Partridge
the last of the notorious Wesley Barnett gang
He is charged with murder and assault with in-
tent to kill and horse stealing The officer lost
his track on the 23d and followed him until last
Sunday morning when he brought the desperado
to bay at the cabin of Old Cajzar a Creek medi-
cine man on the Verdi Gris river Wilson and
posse surrounded the cabin and demanded his
surrender but he declined They then told the
woman and children to get out of the house
which they did at once leaving Partridge in
possession After pari ying for some time the
officers tired the cabin and just before the roof
fell in the desperado came out and threw down
his arms Partridge is one of the worst crim-
inals ever brought to this court He
is a Creek Indian and has been
tried for murder three different times in his own
nation one time for the killing of hi3 own
father The murder for which he is wanted
here was for the killing of old man Drake at
Tulsa about two years ago Wesley Barnett was
implicated in the same murder When captured
Partridge had been riding a horse that he stole
from a man named Hill at Tulsa

Bob Wants Free Tobacco
From a Recent Speech
Theres something in this plant Thinkof
waiting for a train without tobacco Thinkof
traveling the trackless sea without tobacco
Think of waiting in the rifle pit of watching for
the charge without tobacco Think of it Every-
where in tho world where there is want and suf-
fering tobacco comes like an angel of peace
Tobacco is a luxury and I want luxuries cheap
No matter what necessaries cost I want luxuries
cheap The idea ha3 always been to tax luxur-
ies Thats nonsense
