ONE HUNDRED MILES Of GOOD ROADS
HOW TRAVIS COUNTY CAME TO HAVE
THEM-TOLD BY AN AUSTIN
MERCHANT.

At the meeting of the state
Farmers Institute held at Austin
about a month ago, and which was
attended by an Eagle man as a del
egate, one Of the most intererest-
ing addresses was a brief talk by
Mr.. Dittlinger, an Austin business
man, who by request came before
the Institute to tell how Travis
county got her good roads. Mr..
Dittlinger began by reciting the
awful condition Of the roads and
the great amount Of trouble given
the business men Of Austin through
a series of years, doing patch
work, frittering away money rais-
ed for making temporary improve.
ments that were washed away by
the next rain. He said they tried
raising money by taxes to work
the roads, but not raising enough
il was squandered in the same
way.
At last he called a meeting of a
few bushes men to TALK over the
situation, and they met in the Of
fee Of his store. There they de-
termined upon the plan that was
put into effect. A call for a public
meeting was issued for the purpose
Of organizing the Travis County
Good Roads association. The as
ISOLATION was organized with a
board Of directors and officers, with
a charter. Stock was subscribed
and power in control of the affairs
og the association was exercised in
proportion to the stock held by
members. One Of the first acts Of
the directors was TO 60 before the
commissioners court and effect an
agreement with them to expend
two dollars Of the connty's money
for every one dollar expended by
the association, the directors Of The
association designating what roads
we're to be improved. When a sun

Election Day, November Sd, 1908.
VOTE RIGHT.

The Democracy has presented
to the people of Worcester
County for their consideration
and suffrage a good ticket, COM
posed of some of the best citi-
zens of the county. 1t will
compare with any other that
has been or may be nominated.
The Democracy stands out bold
ly without fear for what the
Republican party has or may
do. This is a Democratic year,
and wherever in the State of
Maryland you go, you will find
T the people in favor of the
Democratic ticket and strong
in their belief of a grand
triumph at the polls on the
third of November. On the
other hand, the Republican
party is split asunder. 1t is
hopelessly divided, and this
was apparent to those who
witnessed the gathering of the
delegate IN the hotels of Balti-
more last week before the Re-
publican convention assembled.
The people of Maryland are not
in sympathy with the Republi-
can party nor with President
of the United States who so far
forgets his position as to enter
tain the likes of Booker T.
Washington.
The white people of Maryland
know what to expect if the Re-
publican party succeeds. We
know that the tail will not al
ways wag the dog, and the
fact that in many counties of
this state the negro represents
two thirds of the Republican
party, there is ever reason to
believe the success of that
party means his ascendency to
power and influence in this
state, and then the dog will wag
the tail.
Let every man who desires
the permanent security of his
home, his daughter, mother or
sister, remember that Northern
states have placed premium
on crime by making criminal
assault no more of a crime than
robbery. and the negroe who
was recently lynched in Della
ware, and justly so, had just
been released from a Pennsyl-
vania prison where he served a
short sentence for committing
another assault on a white
woman. Under Democratic
rule we have made laws placing
the death penalty for such
crimes and have thus deferred
the would-be assailants from
committing unspeakable crimes
in this state.
If you desire the continued
peace and prosperity of your
State, then help to keep the
white man in power by voting
the Democratic ticket.

Whats Stylish
For Fall ?"

That's the question
that women nowadays are
asking-and they look to
Paris and New York for the
answer. We saw the trend
of things long ago-when we
bought our stock of dress
goods-and the display in
our store answers the ques-
ton just as we'll as the fash
ion centers could.
Rough stuffs are the rage,
especially in plain blacks,
greys and soft colors. Hairy
goods are considered especial
ly elegant, with cheviots a
close second. Skirts are cut
so as to clear the ground and
are extremely plain. The
long coat still holds, with
more or less ornamentation
on it. Blouse effects are sty1-
ish. The sleeves are puffed
from elbow to wrist.
Here are some good hints
for the woman with a fall
frock to buy:

The Republicans have done

THE Republicans have done
the best they could in the Sc
lection of their candidate for
Governor, but he does not
measure up to the Hon. Edwin
Warfield standard. Mr.. War
field has been in the public eye
as the next Governor of Mary
land for the past four years.
The people want him and the
people usually get what they
want. While Mr.. Williams is
a very excellent gentleman, he
is a staunch supporter of the
policies of the Republican party,
state and national. In other
words, he is first a partisan.
He demonstrated this while in
the Senate and can be counted
on to do things that are very
objectional to the white people
of Maryland.

Registration.

There will be but two sittings of the
Registrars of Voters this year for the reg
istration of voters and the issuance of
transfers. These will be on Tuesday,
September 20, and Tuesday, October
The sitting on October Is will
be for revision only.
The matter of registration is one of
great importance. 1t is the first step
toward polling full vote ON November
8. Persons who registered in 1896, or
since. are not required to register again,
unless they have changed their voting
residence since last year.
The members of the Democratic
County Central Committee should be
vigilant in hunting up young Demo.
Gratis entitled to be registered. Young
men who will be twenty one by Novem-
Der will be entitled to be registered on
either September 20, or October 6. I'm
registered Democrats should go to the
registration offices and have their names
placed OH the register on the day of the
first sitting. If they delay the matter
until the second sitting, on that day
necessary absence from home, sickness
or death of relative may prevent them
from attending to this important duty
and they could not vote in November.
If you have been registered and have
changed your residence since last year,
you should obtain a transfer on the
first day. To get a transfer you will
have to apply for it in person to the
registrar where you last voted, and take
it to the registrar of voters in the dis.
trict or precinct in which you are ell.
titled to be registered, and have your
name place OH the books.
