fornia have not been idle in the work
for good roads nor blind to the needs
of the state in this respect. Up to a few
years ago some of the conyicts had
been supported in comparative idleness
at the expense of the state, while 9TH
ers had been utilized in direct compe-
tition with free labor. In 1895 the leg
islature decided at the suggestion OF
Gen. Roy Stone TO utilize convict labor
in preparing road materials. A bill
was passed providing for highway
commission and for the construction
of rock-crushing plant on one of the
state prison grounds. Since that time
the convicts have been turning upward

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu.

sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con.

Mrs. Olberg, n Prominent Minnesota
Lady, Tells a Remarkable
Story.

ciaD There are few men and women
in this state or indeed in the whole
northwest, who have not heard, or do
not know personally Mrs. Henriette c.
Olberg Of this city.
Mrs. Olberg was Judge OF Linen and
Linen Fabrics at the Worlds Fair, at
Chicago, and Superintendent of Flax
Exhibit at the International EXPOSE
ton at Omaha, Nebraska, in 1898. Mrs.
Olberg is Secretary of the National
Flax, Hemp and Ramie Association,
and Assistant Editor of the "Distaff."
Her official duties are naturally very
onerous, and involve great deal of
travelling and living away from home.
She says:
During the Worlds Fair in Chicago,
my official duties so taxed my strength,
that l thought 1 would have to give
them up. Through the continual
change Of food and irregular meal
hours, and poor quality of water, l
lost my appetite, and became wakeful
and nervous in the extreme. My Kid
neys refused to perform their usual
duties. One of my assistants advised
me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and sent

benefit. used three boxes, and feel

cacy Of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and am al
ways glad to speak good word in their

AN OBJECT LESSON ROAD.

of 100000 tons of crushed trap rock an
nually. Much of this material has been
given to the counties as the states con.
tribution toward the Improvement of
the leading thoroughfares.
North Carolina, Delaware, Iowa, New
York, Tennessee and other states also
have laws providing for the use OF con-
Wet labor in improving highways.
North Carolina has made great prog
ress and has built more miles Of roads
under this system than any other state.
Thus one might, if space permitted, go
through the whole list of states and
find evidences of great progress in
road improvement. Gov. Mount, of In
diana, for instance, says that his COM
monwealth is provided with $500
miles of graded, graveled and piked
highways, over 5000 miles of which are
comparable with the best roads of
France. The pubic is now more thor
oughly aroused to the Importance of
the movement for better roads than
ever before, and more roads and better
roads have been built in the United
States in 1899 than in any previous year
in its history.
The agitation which has become so
universal will surely result in well de-
fined pubic sentiment that will soon
overcome all obstacles. With the new
century the good roads movement is
likely to receive valuable aid from the
owners of horseless vehicles already
not uncommon on our thoroughfares.
The aid of these new allies added TO
that of the farmer with his pecuniary
interest in the question, to say nothing

STILL ON THE FENCE.

Our Georgia eyed, but not argus eyed, morning contemporary of Birm- ingham indulged yesterday in big dust raising about free schools and free passes to them and incidentally about The Advertiser. 1t per sists in its attempts to misrep- resent this paper. but never a glimpse does it give the public of it's alleged backbone and sound legs. It did not crawl of the fence on the official pass evil.
 The Age-Herald tries to pooh-pooh the pass question by various inuendoes. It overiooks the fact that the future of Alabama will be largely determined by it's public officers. it's judges and legislators. The amount of assess ments. the disposition of taxes, the whole financial basis of the schools. as well as of everything else, will de- pend on the integrity and loyalty to the public interest of these future officials. They have unquestionably in the past been affected by the free pass evil to the public disadvantage. To how se rious a degree no one could determine. The best thing for all the Interests of the State is to do away with this in- sidious evil. The effects of a change will be far-reaching in their wholesome ness. We believe it will even lead di- rectly and indirectly to the possibility of more money for schools and to bet ter schools. about which The Age-Her aid is in such an unnecessary spasm now.
 The Advertiser has always favored the utmost liberality to the public schools. Ever since the Alliance cam paign in this State we have often said that it would be a profitable invest ment for Alabama to guard against the power of ignorance in our politics by arranging to keep the schools open nine months in the year for a period of several years. We would almost go so far as to say issue more bonds. If neces- sary to do that. Then the people themselves would take care that the schools were kept open in the future. | If such campaign CT educd'Ion was made, the State would never again go daft op such nonsense and appeals to prejudice as were so generally gulped down in the Alliance campaign. So far as a three-mill State school tax Is concerned, We are opposed to it., if the limit of taxation is to remain as now fixed by the Convention at six and a half mills. It will be financial impossibility to run the State govern ment and do justice to all other proper demands, if half the State tax is to go to public schools. That would be finan- cial folly. It would lead to bankruptc y. Neither would we favor compulsory county one mill tax for public schools. We think 1t would be best to give the counties the privilege of imDeSiaE ssseA
