We have, been unable to obtain
the official returnsMoy boxes, as
some of them have not as yet been
turned in, but the vote was less
than eight hundred against to a
few more than thirteen hundred
for the bonds.
In the Olney box the vote was
a little better than three to one
for the bonds.
A petition has been filed ask
mg the Commissioners’ Court to
cut off a good roads district thru
the county, embracing all of the
Graham precinct and a large port
of the Olney precinct, and asking
for another election for $650,000
as soon as it can legally be held.
There is no doubt about the re-
sult of this election, as' the Gra-
ham and Olney votes were decis-
ively in favor of the issue, and it
will carry by a majority of five
to one.
I Newcastle takes credit—if you
consider it a credit—for defeating

•^ed^tpre^umafely eight to one
against the bonds. They evident-
ly do not want a good road at
Newcastle, and it is the plan of
her neighbors, Olney and Graham,
to accommodate them, and the new
road district leaves ‘Newcastle out,
and the highway will be built
some five or six miles north of
that city instead of directly thru
the town as was the previous plan.
If they do not want the road
and are not forced to pay the tax
we fail to see where it concerns
them any what the rest of the
county may decide to do in the
matter, however, they are still
out shelling the woods against
the proposition, which, we believe-
will in the long run make a good
many votes for—not against—the
road bonds.
Up to last night the Newcastle
box had failed or refused to turn
in its vote in Saturday’s election.
They can, if they want to, be con-
trary about it for a period of ten
days. What they figure to gain
by it is more than we have been
able to figure out. LiU most it
can only delay for a few days the
inevitable. That the F. F. F.
Hjo'bway will be built through
Young county is as certain as
death and taxes. That it can and
will be built without assistance
from Newcastle, and in spite of
any hindrances they may offer is
also certain.
Both Olney and Graham prefer-
red to work in harmony with the
people of Newcastle. The road
should by all means have been
routed through that town. They
don t want it, therefore we do
not believe it should' be forced
upon them. It is our opinion we
should respect their wishes in the
matter and build the road around
