Martha GieIOW Gives
 "Mammy" "Reminiscences
 Al the Mormon University.

Of Mrs. Martha S. Gielow of Alabama. who is delighting large audiences in the west with her Nanny "reminiscences, the Salt Lake Times says:
 Mrs. Martha S. Gieow of Alabama, de- lighted a large and appreciative audience yesterday afternoon with her dialect readings at Barratt Hall Mrs Gelow is unique in her line and presents the lova- ble side of the darkey character as per- sonifed by her own old Nanny" in a series of delightful short sketches from her own writings Her two books from which the selections are taken are 'Mammys "Reminiscences and "Old Plantation Days" They recount the do- ings of the time "befoh de wah" ana bring forcibly before one the ideal plan tation of the old times. Mrs. Gieow has a peculiarly pleasing accent and falls easily into the darkey dialect.
 Mrs Gielow writes from Salt Lake an interesting account of her trip to a friend following extracts:
 "The scenery from Colorado Springs and Glenwood is the most beautiful in the world It is beyond descriptions ana so varied it is like a panorama. Many of the ranges were covered with snow shim- mering in the golden sunlight with the cloudless turquoise sky above. From Glenwood to Salt Lake City it was won derfully interesting The great Rockies gradually grew less, as if the rocks hao given out and left only the huge moun- tain of sand and sand hills. with the most wonderful formations you ever saw. Sometimes we seemed to pass through the craters of extinct volcanoes. and at last we entered the great American desert through Castle Gate, strange and grand in its bleak vastness.

bility of wealth and obligations of la- Dor; the servant problem and how the housewives of Birmingham can pro- tect themselves.
 Here are a few why's to be addressed to the city:
 Why our city Is so dirty.''
 Why we have no public matron,"
 Why we do not own our water works"
 Why we do not have better facilities and police protection for our homes"
 Under the head of the "City Beauti- full" Mrs. Hademan suggests com parson of ideas as how to beautify our parks, cemeteries schoolrooms, charity institutions and our homes.
 Attention is called to the Ready Print House, and how to overcome the great evil 1t is doing our city in publishing the vile stuff by the negro, now circu- lating over our entire state.
 Mention is also made of Sabbath breaking, gambling houses and disrepu- table places in our city.
 Mrs. Hardeman suggests lectures on art and literature in the home, the stage and it's influence for good or evil, and music.
 Under the head of "Protective," is asked why we have no transfer sta tions and the women of our city forced to stand in the rain and unprotected on isolated street corners while waiting for their cars; why does the dairy man sell us doetored milk; the groceryman vit- riol for vinegar and why are the sta pies of life higher than in any other southern city?
 Why Is the city dog-catcher allowed to starve dumb beasts and the boys of the town allowed around at such times, thereby teaching them cruelty to ani- mals?
 Mrs. Hardeman suggests that the club gives an annual breakfast to retiring and incoming officers.

THE ROAD QUESTION.

The county court, by bare majority,
passed a resolution asking our repre-
sontatives to introduce bill to permit
the county to issue 100000 in bonds
to build roads. The sentiment of the
court was really opposed to the measure
but the idea prevailed to allow the peo-
pie a chance to vote on the matter. If
the bill passes an election will have to
be ordered by the court. Everybody
wants good roads, but we differ as to
how they shall be secured. THE COMET
is opposed to bond issue because it is
the most expensive method possible.
A bond issue of $780, for twenty
years would cost $780, in interest,
and that interest each year would build
more roads in twenty years than the
money raised by the bonds. Our solu-
tion is to have the general road law SO
changed as to allow a county the privi-
lege Of levying road tax of from ten
to forty cents on the 800 Gas at present,
and to allow the expenditure of this
fund, in bulk if desired, upon any road
in the county, and not compel it to be
spent in the district in which it is crea.
ted, as at present. We would also favor
compelling incorporated towns to pay
such highway tax. Under such an act
Washington county could raise $780,
annually upon a twenty-five cent levy
an increase of fifteen cents-and witt
that sum could build five miles of road
every year and pay for it. In twenty
years the county would be covered will
good roads and not owe dollar upoI
them. Then, if we could get govern
ment aid, we could build all the NOR,
rapidly. The present legislature viii
give us relief along these lines, and ",
should be very cautious about bono
issue.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1903-01-08
SHOULD BE AMENDED.

There is one law that should be
changed by the legislature, if nothing
else is done, and that is the exemption
law covering the wages of employees.
At present $50 is exempt from execu-
ton. Under this law man who gets
$50 a month, payable monthly, can be
made pay So on a debt, but man who
gets $50 week, payable weekly, can
not be made pay cent by punishment.
The law should be SO changed as to ex-
empt only $1.0O day of the wages Of
an employee. When the old law was
first framed wages were paid monthly,
but now nearly all persons are paid by
the week, and as it was evidently the
intention Of the old law to exempt $1.0O
day for the support of the employees
family, it should be brought up to date
and made effective under existing con-
ditions. If we must have an exemp-
ton law give us one that treats all alike.

The effort to amend the city charter
is not we'll timed. The present officers
accepted their duties knowing they
were not to receive cash remuneration
and they are making good, faithful
servants and are in honor bound to
continue to labor for love only. Any
amount the city could afford to pay in
salaries would not compensate any one
for services and so long as loyal citi-
zens can be found who are willing to
serve their fellow men for honor we
fail to see why those not so serving
p should interest themselves in the sala-
ry movement. A small salary to each
alderman and the mayor would cost
the city over 81, 900 annually and this
can be avoided just now by leaving the
charter intact on that point. Let's use
that money to improve our streets.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why. ,
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it,
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be.
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
