 Washington, D. C., Nov. 9. "Mr. L. l.. Gilbert, Montgomery, Ala:
 Dear Sir-Congress will be in session when the Good Roads Convention will assemble in montgomery. I would be glad to attend the meeting ana to learn something of the methods that are being developed for the construction of cheap and. permanent highways.
 Not only are good roads pleasant and ornamental features of a country, but they are the wisest and most economical bestowal of money and labor Every civ as much as it is by its industries. in the estimate that men place upon its value.
 ",The worst winter roads I have ever often thought that if I could devise some plan to convert them into good roads, I would feel that I could do nothing bet ter for our people, hope that we are about to realize that blessing. As to the hill country, the only difficulty is the in- difference of the people. The drainage and material are furnished by nature along the line of every road to make firm and lasting highway.
 No general movement of industrial progress Is so pleasing as this, and sim cerely regret that I cannot attend your convention.
 With sincere respect,
 John T. Morgan"

sSo,OOO per annum. He thinks the new plan will cost about $40, 600 a year.
 MT Dreysprtng had figured out that his plan would result in a great saving to the County. He said that halt must be made in spending money on the roads MT. Dreyspring showed that the County Is now deeply in debt and that affairs could not run on as they have been do- Ing unless the tax rate is raised
 Dr. McCrummln said he thought the work of road building should be contin- ued. He said that the people would not object to another raise in the tax ra te Tor the purpose of building good roads.
 MT. Dreyspring said the people would object. He said the County had dread V raised the tax rate and that it would not be right to raise 1t again. The mem oers Of the Board of Revenue have su- preme charge of the affairs of the Coun- ty declared MT. Dreyspring and the Board is entirely too liberal much more so than the members would be with their private business affairs.
 C. A. Allen offered as a substitute for MT Dreyspring's plan, a resolution that the Board discontinue for a time two overseers and two of the road outfits. He estimated that this would save the coun- ty about $l6.000 per annum
 Mir. Carter said he thought that a full attendance of the Board should be pres ent when so important a matter was to De considered and he moved that consid- eratlon be postponed until December l6 when It is expected that Mir Thompson Will be able to attend a meeting It was so ordered.

 You can endure all these nervous troubles for years or escape them now and for good. You can choose one condi. ton or the other. The difference is largely due to the presence or lack of Iron in the system-a kind of iron you may never get unless you get 1t from Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic.

TEXAS CATTLE
Shipped to Mississippi to Be

Jackson Cor. Mobile Register.
 The unusual spectacle of train loads of cattle being shipped into this State from pers. It is possible that in the course of time a great industry may be built up alone this line, especially in those years when there is failure of pastures or the cotton crops in Texas or other States These cattle will be put on cotton seed meal and hulls for ninety days, and the feeders may rest assured that they will make profitable gains in weight and flesh and fat. For the past several years no Mississippi stockman thought of feeding on another ration. unless a little hay Is added. and hundreds of them have made good money, though their efforts were more in the line of experiments than otherwise The home feeder may have heen among the last to appreciate the virtue of cotton seed meal and hulls, but he is on to the secret now, and cannot say too much in praise of this compara- lively new food stuff-a commodity that not so very many years ago was looked upon as utterly useless, and which was thrown away or burned at the gins just to get 1t out of the way. An item has been going the rounds of the press for some time to the effect that Professor " c. Welborn of the Agricultural and found meal and hulls an admirable food ration for all kinds of live stock, and that colts fed on 1t have grown and fiOurished to his entire satisfaction. He the feed at first. but that in course of time they come to like it. and to eat heartily. The average farmer is preju- diced against the feed for horses and mules, and will not give it a fair trial, but it may be that this winter they will be forced to the necessity of feeding 1t because of the scarcity of corn, The Mississippi cotton crop is somewhat short but there will be meal and hulls sufficient to feed all the cattle that Texas or any other State may ship in, to say nothing of the thousands that are native to the State

CEREMONY NOT NECESSARY.
Judge Adams Delivers Opinion as tt
 Marriage.

St. Louis, Nov 25.-The United States Court of Appeals. in reversing the deci- sions of the United States District Court of the Indian Territory, and the Indian Territory Co lrt of Appeals, which were In favor of Rose Pryor, who sued Samuel T. Davis, a wealthy merchant of the Cherokee nation, for alleged breach of promise, decided today that common law marriages are legal.
 Miss Pryor, who Is also a resident of the Cherokee nation, was a member of Davis's household. As mistress of the household, was a young woman known to Miss Pryor as Mrs. Davis. According to Davis this woman was his wife, with whom he had lived for upwards of twen- ty years. When RoEe Pryor was 61 years of age, Davis was alleged to have eioped with her, but for some reason refused to marry her.
 Miss Pryor considered that her affec- tions had been injured to the extent of $9,500 and filed suit for this amount and won in both the lower courts. She al- leges that Davis told her that he was not legally married to Mrs. Davis, and that there was no legal objection to his making her his wife Davis contended that he was already married. hence he could not have made a valid contract to become Miss Pryor's husband.
 In delivering the opinion of the Appel late Court, Judge Adams said:
 Mar iage is civil contract and may be made by any persons of different sexes competent to make such contract. While commonly entered into with some cere- mony. either civil or religious, it may be consummated without any ceremony. If a man and woman. in good faith, agree to become husband and wife, and this l. falta and notorious eohabitation, the relation of husband and wife Is lawfully estab- lished."
 It is held by the court that Rose Pryor knew of Davis's relations to Mrs. Davis and should not or could not have there fore been deceived when he proposed to marry her.

 Bishop Galloway. who presided oyer the North Georgia Methodist conference at Rome, made an impressive address to number of young men who were en- tering upon the second year of their min istry.
 One of the mos. striking and timely portions of his remarks was Shat em- bcdying his strong protest against spe- cies of sensationalism which some preachers affect in these days and some persons admire and applaud.
