TO SUCCEED MIR. GILLIAN.
MT. Oliver Has Announced as Candi-
 date.

Dadeville, August 15.-(Special)- The intelligence of the sudden death of Hon. Harry J. Gillian, at Alexander City, last Friday came as severe shock to his many friends at this place MT. Gillam spent the most of his life as a resident of Dadeville and was loved and honored by the people here He was the mayor of Dadeville for long number of yeaDs and held the re- spect and esteem of all who knew him.
 Since the death of Mir. Gillian. the nominee for Chancellor of the North eastern Chancery Division. the people of this section are very much interes- ted in the matter of his successor on the ticket. It will be remembered that there were five candidates for the posi- tion In the April primary: Hon. H. J. Gillam.of Elmore County; who re- ceived 5,597 votes. E. M. Oliver of Chambers county, who received 5,2S2; Hon w. w. Whitesides. of Calhoun. who received 4291: Hon. R. A. Dunlap, of Etowah, who received 3,3S6, and Hon. B. B. Bridges, of Coosa County. who received 2,742 The difference between Mir. Gillian and MT. oliver being only 315 votes and between MT. Whitesides. the next highest to Oliver, and Oliver being 9S5.
 Many people in this section express the hope that the committee will declare the candidate who received the next highest vote to the lamented Gillian the nominee. This would give Oliver the nomination. If another primary is or dered the vote will be very light as 1t will be impossible to get people inter- ested to attend the election.

theory mny be found all right and an
other all wrong while stiil another may
be half right and half wrong.
The man who attempts TO formulate
a good road measure. for example, must
anticipate all sorts Of questions and OBJ

different kinds of roadbed. In city and
rural highways He must recognize the
fact that there are many places where

structon; he must make provision for
its wise and Just distribution among tho
different towns. and he must formulate
measures for the thorough supervision
of the expenditure of that money aud the
adoption of proper methods of construc-
ton.
We believe II men like the Hon. Fuller
C. Smith of st. Adams who has devised
a plan for a State system OF highway
improvement, and an engineer like Prof.

and state Agricultural College and state

Of Vermont
Whether measures dealing with pernian-
ent highways and the liquor traffic and
political primaries are formulated prov
ious to the assembling Of the Legisla-
ture or at the very beginning of the scs-
sion it is to be hoped that these matters
may be placed in the hands of men of
experience and ability and progressive
ness and the results promptly given to
the people through the press so that
public sentiment may keep pace with
legislation, restraining or squirting on,
as the occasion may require. Vermont
legislation will never reach its aprroxi-
matcly best results until our citizens as
a whole take an active interest in all
important matters at issue, and make
their voices heard through their represent
