Supervisor Replies to "Shorty." Editor Courier : September the 8th an article appeared ligued "Shorty," saying that in this district not a shovelful was put on the road tliia year. Evidently "Shorty" is ignorant of what hai been done on the road of this district, or else he is trying to tell a deliberate falsehood. He says "aud still the county pays cah for road tax." Shorty must be one of those who likes to work the road, by lean ing against the shovel and tell stories. I think the present roa-i law the best ever enacted, because if a man does not work, the supervisor can tell bim to get. Now, Mr. Shorty, why put the responsibility on the jndge'B shoulders nnd not call on the ccunty court to investigate.? Supervisor.
