stood the motive and knew also the
little Generals record.
Gen. Wheeler said the President hah

eral. Referring to the sensational social
story that has been printed to the effect
that he and The widow of the late

Wheeler denied that there was any
truth in it, and said doubtless that Mrs.

ROAD QUESTION.
EDITOR COMET:


OF the three ways out of the mud
road bondage in which our county is
held, a good one would be to build
macadam roads gradually by direct
taxation. A better one would be to
authorize corporation turnpike roads.
The best one would be to issue either
short or long. term bonds and build,
without delay, a system of roads from
the market depots out through the
county. 1 believe that eighty miles of
such trunk roads would impartially
reach the body of the county and fur
nish the people with safe and easy
transportation. $4,000 would be re-
quired. Will it be profitable for the
people of the county to adopt this best
plan? Yes; and can give clear proof
shown by facts and figures to support
the answer
First, to execute our present, about
worthless road law, not less than $500
of road-tax are annually collected and
used; and, there are not less than $500
liable to road-work 8 days each year.
This represents 1850 days; and, at
rs cents per day $13, 1876. Adding the
two items, gives an aggregate of $16,
1926 put into "good-for-nothing" roads
Suppose the required $4,000 Of
bonds are issued. l believe they can
be foated at par for an interest of
per cent The annual interest charge
would be "a, 800. What we now throw
away on our dirt or mud roads would
pay this interest and leave the sum O
81, 1925 at the. close of each year fol
paying off the bonds; and, if so applied
would wipe out the entire $120, 900 il
less than eight years. Lay this over
pluss aside as dead money-that is
bearing no interest, and in less than 1
years it would amount to $126, 775.
Now let me ask, if this, our presen
, road fund composed of $4,000 in harC
cash and $13, 1875 in days worked o
cash rates and contributed, really b.
only part of the people, can in les
than ten years foot the entire bill, ca
} not all the people, under equitable tax
alton do the same thing more easily?
G But stop a moment OF how muc
. benefit to the people of the county
this expenditure of $4,000 and $13, 12
J worth of work? If none OF the roa
: work as now performed was done, niue
of our road areas would be rough an

Democrats will be glad if the repub-

Representative Cannon, Of Illinois,
one of Gar Reeds most obedient
henchmen, that real Nicaragua Canal
legislation, which has been commended
by national conventions, regardless of
party, was purposely prevented at the
recent session of congress by the re-
publican house. The blame for the
failure of that legislation had been
placed upon Reed, but when Nj. Can
non says: fortunately, the house OF
representatives resisted the enactment
of the proposed legislation" in his
labored commentator Of republican
accomplishments during the Fifty-ffth
congress, he places the responsibility
on the republican party, and actually
gloats over it as something to be proud
of. Will the national convention O
his party dare to assume the same at
titude on this question?

THE FURNACE.

Last Friday it was found necessary
to bank the Carnegie Furnace ON ae-
count Of the lack Of ore,l Orders were
sent to the company's mines at Roam
Mountain and to the Cranberry COM
pany to double the daily shipment,
and sufficient stock of material has
been accumulated to warrant the fur
mace being started again and the blast
was turned on today. .Since the furnace
started it has only been making 45 to so
tons of iron day, but after Mr.. Perrin
the new manager, took charge it was
only few days until 40 tons of iron
were made daily. This increased de
mand soon reduced the stock OF ore on
hand and wait was made necessary.
The new management will make sew.
eral changes, it being the intention Of
Mr.. Perrin to operate this furnace and
the one at Embrevllle upon the mos
economical basis consistent with goot
business Judgment. The gate watch

The young lady, thinking he was the

to drink it. He then put his arm
around her neck and repeatedly kissed
her. She asked him what the bill was.
"Fifty cents" replied the B. B. Y. M.
The young lady departed, apparently
in very pleasant frame of mind. In
about an hour size returned. But this
time the doctor-who Is an old man

Not in a Kissing Mood.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan de.
clined to kiss pretty girl IN Texas
last week, remarklng at the same time
that he was not Hobson. There was
probably no intention on Mr.. Bryan's
part to make the young lady feel badly
or to reflect on the osculatory achieve
ments of tn hero of the Merrimac.
Doubtless what he meant to intimate
was that he lacked Hobson's capacity
and endurance and that he would prove
a Disappointment to the ladies if he at
tempted to enact a role that might de.
mand millions of kisses in the course
of the next year or two. Possibly he
also had private reasons Of a domestic
character that were weighty and con
vinclng. The unmarried hero may rove
gayly about in the gardens of female
loneliness, slipping honey from every
flower that holds up its pretty lips tc
him, but the married hero is obliged tC
conduct himself with more reserve anC
less gayety. He has a superior Officer
at home to whom he is responsible fol
his behavior and who is not likely t.
view with favor campaigns of sentimen
and OSCILLATION.
The wife of the political hero may
have no objections to free and unlimit
ed coinage Of silver, but she is very
apt to veto free and unlimited kissing
on the part of her husband and as
domestic committee on resolutions tx
strike that plank out of his platform
with promptness and force that would
reduce it to kindling wood. Baltimor,

Senator Chandler, who has reputa-
tion for talking against things sup
ported by his party, but always voting
with the party, has an acute attack of
anti-trustphobia just now. He talks
against the trusts as serious as though
he was good democrat or populist,
but that is no reason to expect that he
will vote against any measures desired
by the trusts which may come before
the senate, in the future; he certainly
has not done so in the past

Navy Department officials say that
armor for our warships cannot be
bought for $500 ton, the limit set by
the last congress. A statement made
before the House Naval Committee
shows conclusively that it could be if
there was not an armor trust, formed to
bleed the government. One of the
members Of this trust sold Russia 5000
tons of the same armor for $240 ton
1t was claimed by representative of
that company that $40, 900 was lost on
that order, for the purpose of introduce
ing their armor in Europe, This claim
was direct admission that the armor
only cost 1855 a ton; yet, the trust got
the price fixed at $3.50 a ton in the bill
as first passed by congress. The re-
duction was made by the Senate. That
is the sort of business that makes rich
trusts and disgusts those who believe
in old fashioned honest dealing with
the government as we'll as with indi-
viduals. If the trust can make armor
for 1858 ton, which its agents say II
can, it can certainly afford to sell it to
the government for $500 a ton, but, OF
course, that is no reason that it will. It
will probably prefer making the next
