This is an odd number, but we ars told there Is luck in odd numbers. Certainly the man who gets the S299 shoe of M. X. Packard X Co. will be in luck. have just received a liberal consignment of these shoes in lace and congress for men and l have this to say about them: have handled boots and shoes for nearly 30 years, 20 years of which l have been engaged in manufacturing them and have never seen as good shoe as this sold for less than S.00. It is perfect in every detail for style, wear and comfort.
 l have also received a lot of the Little Rock shoes for boys and youths, made by the same firm. This is the most perfect line for lit tie men that 1 have ever seen at q medium price.
 Referring to communication which I sent to Messrs. Packard X Go. with regard to advertising these goods, they say:
 We do no advertising of any kind, preferring to put all our money into the shoe itself instead of newspaper advertising. We will give you the VERY best shoe we can for the money and hope to hear from you often with orders Yours very truly.
 NJ. A. PACKARD & Co"
 Hoping that everyone who sees this notice will decide to put my judgment in regard to these shoes to the test, I am very truly,

Why Southern Farmers Should Vote
Against Harrison,

Because he has favored tariff legisla-
tion which mas had a tendency to re-
duce the markets for agricultural pro-
ducts, Although thero has been a
great abundance in this country and a
famine abroad the value of the agri-
cultural products exported in 1891
was S6+2, 2,751,344, while in 1881 it was
$730,394, ,943, or nearly $100,000,O00
more. On the other hand, our ex-
ports of manufactures have nearly
doubled in that time, so that protec-
tive tariff, such as Mr.. Harrison favors,
cuts down the profits Of the farmers
and restricts their market. Because
he tavors the infamous force bill.
For these and many other reasons
no Southern farmer can afford to vote
for Mr.. Harrison, or his "aider, mate
rialy, indirectly" Mr.. Weaver.

FEDERAL INSPECTIoN--A TRAP
SET FOR OUR ELECTION
OFFICERS.

Judge Mcclure, as Chief of Fed
eral Supervisors of Elections, has
issued his instructions to Inspectors
they appear in to days Gazette.
Sometime ago we exposed the OBJ
iect of the P. p. leaders, who have
been foremost in the demand for
Federal Supervisor, hoping to in
some way punish the voters OF Ark
ansas for defeating their ticket in
September. This object is to enable
the Federal Supervisors to virtually
supercedc the Judges uf Il ection AZ
pointed and acting under our new
election law. The Chief Supervisor
makes this quotation from the new
law:
If the voter shall not have COM
pleted the preparation If the ballot
within the time allowed five minutes)
he may call upon the Judges to assist
in its preparation, Or lac can with
draw after having returned TO the
Judges the b,lIot delivered to hiw.
This is followed by his construc-
tion or interpretati of that provis-
ion, towit:
If under this provision of the law,
the judges aIc called upon to prepare
the ballot of the clector, you will take
such position as will enable you to
see whether the ballot is prepared as
the voter requests. If it is not so
prepared you will report the name of
such elector to ;hc Chief Supervisor,
together with the name of the Judge
or Judges who may have marked the
ballot contrary to the request of the
voter. If you are in any manner in
terfered with in thus dischar9ing your
duty, report that fact and the name
or names of the persons 20 intcrf"r-
ing.
The Federal Supervisor who thus
"takes such a position" as will en-
able him to see how ballot is pre-
pared by Il judy in private booth
will violate the State eltcuoa law
He has right to remain at the ballot
box, and perform all the duties pre-.
scribcd 10y The Federal Statutes. But
the ballot hoX and the private booths
are remote from each other; and the
Federal Super, isor who assumes that
it is his business to practically act a.
a Judge Of election in addition to per-
forming his legitimate duties will not
fail to get into trouble.
The election officers know the law,
and will not be frightened by any in
dlvidual constructions, or highsOund-
lug threats about violating the Fed
eral Statutes. 1t is the duty Of thc
Judges and other officers Of election
under our State law to obey and en-,
force that law and they will certainly
keep the fact in mind that the Chief
supervisor is not court Of justice
empowered to pass on its consti-
tutionality
The trap The Gazette exposed, and
which has been set in the body Of he
Federal Instructions, will nos catch
any persons but its inventors - Al:

FRENCH ROADS.
How They Are Made and Maintained !"
Perfect Condition.


Perfect Condition.
The excellence of French roads sven
known. The United States consul al
Bordeaux describes how they are made.
The materials are brought from inc
nearest quarries and placed at either
side of the route surveyed. In order
that the full amount contracted Tor may
be delivered the stone must be heapeo
in angular piles of prismatlc shape ana
fixed dimensions. These heaps. placed
at given distance from one another,
are afterward visited by an official In
spector, and must in all instances mt ex-
actly beneath a skeleton frame earned
by him. The material is usually marble,
flint stone or gravel, and whatever is
used must be of the best quality and
Iucleansed from all foreign substances.
The stone must be broken so that each
piece may pass through ring ga inches
in diameter.
1t is then spread evenly over the road
the interstices being carefully filled III
with small pieces, so that the whole Is
smooth and free from abrupt eminences
and depression. A steam roller then
brushes and further evens the whole,
after which superficial layer OF clay
and earth completes the work. Roads
are classed as national roads, which are
the main arteries of the system connect
ing most distant parts of the country,
and are constructed and maintained
by the government; department roads,
which connect different points Of the
same department or of two adJoin-
ing DEPARTMENTS, and are constructed
and maintained by the department;
highways and public roads, which are
the property of the commune through
whi4l they run, but are in practice
made and repaired by the department
from taxes levied on the commune. sup
plemented by department Subsidy
cross roads, which are maintained by
sums derived from the ordinary reve-
nues of the commune. occasionally sup
plemented by additional taxation, and
country roads which are kept in order
bv the commune. except they are IN.
iured by unusual traffic. when an IN.
demnity may be claimed by the com
munal administration. For the purpose
Of maintaining the common roads the
inhabitants living in the district are
obliged to work three days in each yeai
or pay an amount equivalent to the com
pensation of the laborer for three days.
The consul at Hayre says that French
pavements increase in excellence witt

The width Of Wagon Tires.

A matter that would greatly help the
roads is the width Of the tire used on
the vehicles. The narrow tires in use,
some of them not more than one inch in
width. cut like knives into the roadways
and render it much more difficult to keep
the roads in repair. If tire not less
than two inches in width was used on
all springless vehicles it would secure
the roads against large portion Of the
damage they now suffer. As the load Of
the wagon increases in weight the tirs
should he widened and tire four inche.
wide should be used on all wagons de
signed to carry heavy loads. 1t would

The condition Of the common roads
has a very interesting economic bearing
of direct nature, and an indirect one not
less important. In the matter of the
earning capacity and value of horses
and other draft animals the common
roads have direct effect. II horse can
do one-third more work on q good road
and be in a working condition one-third
longer than he can on a bad road, then
his earning capacity and hence his
value, is increased just one-third. This
assumption is based upon very low es-
innate. In all probability. if il were
possible to make an exact calculation, 1t
would be found that the earning ca
pacity and the total length Of service
able life Of draft animals would be more
nearly doubled than increased only one
third.
The census enumerators Of 1890 found
that there were in this country l4,2l3,-
s37 horses, valued at SOS each; s,3Sl,-
/ O27 mules, valued at Sss each. and &c.
$40. O24 oxen and other draft animals,
valued al $l5 each-making a total Of
s.. 393. sSs. alinlls used on the roads, at
a total value of 81. 7sl ,535, 79S. All these
horses and mules work at some time on
the roads, and indeed much the greater
part Of the total work done by them Is
upon country roads and city streets.
If all the work done by them was
upon the roads. the increased valuation,
based upon the above hypothesis of earn
ing capacity, would be 1913, s45, 266, but
as all the work is not done on the roads
It Is only fair to reduce this 10y one-haif,
