Work Inaugurated on Neigh
boring Highways by
Commercial Club,
WORK COMPLETED
On Several Roads Which In sures
Communication With a Large
Territory Throughout
The Rainy
Season.

Three miles OF impossible mud
holes that have heretofore cut of
communication between Vinita
and rich contiguous territory
during the rainy season, have been
filled and drained by the CONNER
cial Club, making them passable
at all times for the heaviest teams
The value Of this splendid work to
the home merchants is evidenced
by the increased traffic over roads
that heretofore were made impass-
able by days rain.
Its value to the farmers, who
have been cut of from a market
during a large part OF the winter
months in the past, is ineslimable.
The Commercial Club in under.
taking the work Of road improve
msnt, were handicapped by an al.
most depleted treasury and an ev,
ideut lack of interest on the part
Of majority OF the members.
The work was considered too
great an undertaking by many,
and as a consequences it's accom-
plishment devolved upon the few.
With the assistance of the farm.
ers living near the Big Cabin road
work was commenced on the inn.
passable hog holes on that road
south of town. The road was
ditohed, culverts built with ade-
quate drains and all holes filed in
at small expense.
The club furnished all materials,
scrapers, shovels, etc, and the SER
vices Of an expert road builder.
The labor and teams were supplied
by the farmers, who, recognizing
the value of the work, volunteered
their assistance.
This road is now in condition to
withstand the most severe weather
test and will allow winter trade
with a thickly populated district
that has been cut off in the past.
The condition of the road run.
ming west to Gwenndale and White
Oak was next improved by the
same means and will be passable
throughout the winter. The ford
over Cabin creek on this road was
filed in with crushed rock, max.
ing a good road bed for the heavy
teams that have heretofore expe
riencsd great trouble in crossing
over the mud bottom.
a call for volunteers to work on
The Bolin ferry road has been is.
sued by Secretary Parker, and
work will be commenced on that
important highway as soon as a
sufficient number Of volunteers are
obtained.
The completion of this work and
proposed improvements on the
Carey's ferry road will give Vinita
winter communication with all of
its contiguous territory:
The Commercial Club by this
work alone has done more to pro.
mote the business Of this city than
any one agency, and every busi.
ness and professional man should
give the Club their unqualified
support.

cALDwELL-RoBERTs.
Prominent Young Planter Marries
 Union Springs Belle.

Union Springs, June 6.-(special.)- The news of the marriage of Mr. Hugh Caldwell and Miss Anna Roberts at the home of Mrs. w. s. Harris. about ten miles north of here, was received with surprise by the many friends of the young couple. It seems that Miss Roberts was on & visit to Miss Harris and that Mr. Caldwell also went over from his plantation, which is adjoin- ing, and soon a friend of the young couple was on his way to town to se- cure a marriage license. Rev. J. w.. Peterborough, pastor of the Presbyte- rian Church. tied the knot. Mir. Cald- we'll is a son of MT. S. J. Caldwell, one of the proprietors of the spoke and handle factory, and Miss Roberts Is a daughter of ex-sheriff J. l.. Roberts. It has been known for some time that MT. Caldwell was paying devoted at- tention to the young lady, and Dame Rumor had connected their names for a prospective marriage.
 The rains continue and a large por- ton of the bottom lands have again been inundated, doing great damage to the crops. Many experienced farm CTS say that they never saw as poor a prospect for a crop at this season of the year.
 The rains have also retarded the work on the new railroad, although work is being pushed as rapidly as weather conditions will admit. A number of additional hands and teams are expected in a few days and 1t Is expected to complete the road by the contract time, August 15.

THE STORM IN WILCOX.
Many Planters Have Abandoned
 Their Farms.

Camden, June 6.-(Special.)- )-Another heavy rain fell here yesterday evening with a very strong wind, but nothing like the storm of Sunday night. The farmers are very much discouraged but are hard at work to regain as much of their losses as possible. The report of Sunday nights storm was as full as could be gathered up to that time but the reports that have come in since then show that not half had been told. Some of the farmers are searching the country over for seed to replant, but many will search in vain, as there are no seed to be had. Others are blowing up the land where cotton was in a flourishing condition before the hail storm, and will plant the ground in corn. Some will abandon their crops altogether, and go to work at some thing else. Dr. J. P. Jones had over one hundred acres with a beautiful prospect for a full crop. but now the land is swept as clean as a floor. Many others were served as badly and some even worse, as the storm destroyed crops and houses.
 Deputy D. B. Jones has gone to Bir- mingham after the negro Will Simms, who. a short time ago, shot and killed E. F. Walden, Marshal of Pine Apple, and seriously wounded Eugene Harris while they were trying to arrest Simms for disorderly conduct. It is thought here outside of official circles that Simms will be more safe in some other Jail for the present.
 The Advertiser is highly commended for the push and energy 1t has display ed in getting the paper here by noon of the same day of publication.
 Mrs. J. S. Hunter, after a lengthy visit to Mobile, returned home with her daughter. Mattie, last night. Miss Mattie has been attending school in Mobile the past session.

 It was the first wedding ceremony to be solemnized in the Church of the Sacred Heart, and long before the hour for the marriage the building was filled with the friends of the couple.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let 1t stand twenty four hours; a sediment or settling in- dicates an unhealthy condition Of the kidneys; if 1t stains the linen 1t Is eVi- dence of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass 1t, or pain in the back IS also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
 WHAT TO DO.
 There Is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed that Dr. Ktlmers Swamp Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the oack, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects ln- ability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and over comes that unpleasant necessity of be- ing compelled to go often during the day. and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraor- dinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distress ing cases If you need medicine you should have the best. Sold by drug gists in difty-ce cent and one-dollar sizes.
 You may have a sample bottle of Swamp Root and a book that tells more about 1t, both sent absolutely free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bing- hamton, N. Y. When writing mention that you read this generous ofrer in The Montgomery Daily Advertiser.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
Claimed That They are Inferior t'
 British Product. 7H 1

Claimed That They are 1nIerlor 10
 British Product. 7N <
 London, June 6.-The Midland Rail- road Company, since the latter half of 1899. has been using forty American locomotives. Samuel w. Johnson, Su- perintendent of the locomotive depart ment of the company, will say in The Daily Mail tomorrow that the results of six months comparative tests made with standard Midland engines under the same conditions showed the extra working cost of the American locomo- tive over the British to be from 20 to 25 per cent in fuel, 50 per cent in oil and 60 per cent in repairs.
 Tt must be said that the American engines worked the trains satisfacto- rily," MT. Johnson will say, but their inferiority in the three points named is inconteStible."
 The American locomotives in ques- tion cost $400 less than the British. They were delivered in the course of few months. while the engines ordered of British firms in February, 1897, were not delivered until February, 1900, largely on account of the strike.
 Sir Ernest Paget, Chairman of the Midland Railway Company. will con- firm MT. Johnson's statement in The Daily Mail. but will say:
 "In the United States they make their engines on an entirely different principle and with quite an opposite idea to ours as to their future use. The American contention is that by the time 1t is done, something better will come along. We make our engines as good as we possibly can and then we tend them carefully. rest them, clean them and do everything to make them last.
 Although the Midland Railway Company would not give an order in America unless under exceptional cir cumstances. it would not be correct to
