Some well.informed authority on the
subject Of public roads states that there
are 100000 miles Of public roads in the
United States, over which the aggregate
amount of 100000 900 tons of freight is
hauled annually.
Estimating the average distance over
which freight is thus hauled from the
farm to the depot at eight miles, it is
figured that the total cost of hauling
freight annually over the public roads
in the United States is 81 ,OO0,0 900, or
81 per ton.
With uniformly good public roads it
is claimed that the cost Of hauling
freight from the farm to the depot ought
not to be more than $4O0, 900, 900 or 5000
100000 less than what it is at present.
This difference is strongly emphasized
by the authority from whom we quote
when he states that it is equivalent to
the yearly interests on $4,000, 900, 900 OF
3 per cent government bonds, and adds
JudI WIN Ohly OhO-hail VI buib dluiOnt IN
conceivable vast amount every public
road in the United States could be re-
built.
There is food for reflection in these
figures. The community that possesses
good roads has an incslculsble advantage
over others. The secret Of Rome's great
ness lay in the highways that Caesar
built. The secret of the prosperity that
France and Germany possess to-day lies
IN the good roads that gives them imper-
ial greatness.
Roads are the arteries OF commerce
and it is criminal to allow them to
deteriorate.
Here in our own county, a plain hum
BILE citizen is doing a world OF good to
spread the doctrine Of good roads. He
is Hardy Walker, the road overseer for
the Cloverport district. 1 was talking to
a well-known physician the other day
and he said to me. "You cannot praise
Hardy Walker too much for the work he
is doing ON the roads in this district
His conscientious efforts deserve the
support Of all good citizens"

SOME OPINIONS.

A great many people in this commun-
ity have expressed the wish that the
worthless elements Of society, consisting
Of tramps and good.for-nothing negroes,
go TO the front and fight the battles OF
this war, rather than the young men
representing the best blood Of the state
and nation. l think such people are
unfortunate, inasmuch as they haye not
true conception Of patriotism. 1t is as
glorious a privilege TO fight and die for
this country as it is to exercise the right
Of franchise. The tramp and the good
for-nothing negro do not think 30.
Both are unpatriotic and, being such,
they could not defend the American
nation and American institutions as they
were defended at Manila, La Quasina,
FL Caney and Santiago, by the "best
blood OF the nation" 1t is the patriot
in civic life that makes the hero on the
battlefield.

Formal Charges Against Lieutenant
 French Last Night.

Another meeting of the members and non-commissioned officers Of A com pany, N. G. A., was held last night in the matter of First Lieutenant French, who has been accused of trying to break up the company. The meeting was organized by the election of First Sergeant Willis Brewer, chairman, and Quartermaster Sergeant E. J. Hollingshead, secretary. After the reading of the details of the meeting of the night before, the work Of pre- pairing formal charges and specified tions againsc Lieutenant French was begun. The usual charge of "con- duct unbecoming an officer and a gen tleman' was formulated. The speci- ications recite the various acts of the lieutenant. including damaging re- marks he made against the officers and men on the occasion of his late visit to Prescott and his alleged persistent efforts to interfere with the discipline of the company.
 A committee of two was appointed to deliver the charges to Captain Dun bar for transmission to Adjutant- General Robinson, along with a re- quest that he summon 6 court martial for final hearing.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a com nunity of simple honest. God-fearing men and women, have prepared the Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years and it is always the same simple, hon. est, curative medicine that has helped to make the Shakers the healthy. long lived people that they are. The Shakers never have indigestion. This is partly owing to their simple mode of life, partly to the wonderful properties of Shaker Di- gestive Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the stomach glands not supplying enough digestive juice. Shaker Digestive Cor dial supplies what's wanting. Shaker Di- gestive Cordial invigorates the stomach and all it's glands so that after awhile they don't need help. As evidence of the honesty of Shaker Digestive Cordial the formula is printed on every bottle. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to sl per bottle.
