WRETCHED ROADS
HURT ANERICUS.
Conditions in Country Are
Very Bad.
MUCH TRADE IS LOST ANNUALLY
Many Farmers are Going to Smaller
Towns and All Because the Roads
Leading Here are In Very Wretch
ed Condition.

The fact, lamentable fact, that many
of the principal country roads leading
to Americas are in wretched condition
is the cause of the loss of no small
amount of trade to merchants here,
smaller towns being benefited by our
misfortune.
Very naturally, when farmer starts
to market he will go to that one best
reached by the best roads, all other
things being equal. And he cannot
be blamed for it.
And thus his back is too often turn
ed upon Americas, which is his natural
market.
Prominent farmers tell the Times
Recorder that some OF the roads of the
county are in miserable condition. In
one d jstrict, it is said, no road over
seer was appointed at all this year, if
last year, even. Conditions in that
district, therefore. can be imagined.
A makeshift at working the roads
was probably done in other districts; a
mere pretense.
With two or three notable excep-
tions, all the roads of the county are in
condition to be improved, and such
Improvement should have been made
during the summer.
The busy season is at hand, farmers
are handling cotton, and they are not
going to haul it over labaryth of ruts
and holes, called q public road by
courtesy, to bring 1t to Americus
when they can find good roads and
market in some other section.
Americus may lose thousands of
bales of cotton this year, and oil on &C.
count of bad roads.
ObO A64 A4OA HhAO JQobOAA@J NA~V NAAAS
was true as to bis neighborhocd.
Judge LittIeiohn, it will be remem-
bered, in his charge to the grand jury
recently stated that he had been in
formed that Sumter county farmers
living near the county lines went to
towns in other counties where the
roads were much better.
The present system costs the county
a large sum annually, but results seem
very poor.
Possibly when the mlsdemeanor
convicts are put to work upon the
roads next year there may be an i'm
provement, after lapse of sufficient
time. It is indeed to be hoped SO.
AS is known, the county gets moth
ing, not cent, at present from the
hire of the misdemeanor convlcts-
probably from 100 to 200 of them sent
up in year. If these were put upon
our roads, with the host that could be
convicted here of vagrancy, what great
results?
The case is in the hands of the peo-
pie themselves, and they should de-
mand change in affairs.

The Fatal Germ and It's Remedy Now
Facts Of Science.
1t is the rarest thing in the world fol
a man to be necessarily bald. No mar
whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald if he will use Newbro's Herpi'
eide, the new scalp antiseptic. Herpi,
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
off at the root; and cleans the scalp Of
dandruff and leaves it in perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block, Butte, Mont, was en-,
tirely bald. In less than a month Herpi
eide had removed the enemies of hair
growth, and nature did it's work by COW
ering his head with thick hair an inch
long, and in six weeks he had a normal
suit of hair. Sold by leading druggists,

the American Federation of Labor is
to be invited by the employers to step
into the western field and reorganize
the movement. Socialism, according to

completely controls the western labor
movement. which is practically in the

New York. Oct. 2.-William Smith,
formerly of Topeka. Kan, who died
suddenly Sunday in this city, had been
i'll for some time. He did not call
physician, and his wife summoned u
healer of the Christian Science faith. p
Mrs. Smith decided it would be neces-
sary to call in a regular physician to
establish the cause of death and DR..
Styles Potter made an examination.
On the following day, DR.. Wheeler
called UP DR.. Potter and wished to
know if Mr.. Smith had died of an in
fictitious disease. DR.. Wheeler had rent
ed the apartment to Mr. Smith for the
summer while DR.. Wheeler's family was
in the country, and he did not care to
take his wife and children back to the
apartment if there was any danger of
infection. This brought the matter to
the attention of the coroner.
DIR. O'Hanlon. coroner's physician,
visited the house and found that Mr..
Smith died of tuberculosis and heart
disease. and that for some time he had
been attended by a woman healer of the
Christian Science church. After in
vestigation, permission was given TO re-
move the body to Atchison, Kan.
Mr.. Smith appeared to be in excellent
physical condition three months ago.
