EFFECT OF BAD ROADS.
II Is Felt Not Only by Farmers, But
by Merchants and Railroad
Companies as Well.

Many people look upon the road ques-
ton as one which affects mainly, il not
wholly, the people OF the rural dis
triets This is mistaken idea. Road
conditions seriously affect the people
OF all towns depending on trade with the
rural population Bad roads hinder and
depress local trade by making 1t almost
impossible for the farmers to get &c
town sometimes for weeks at stretch
This depression in turn affects the
wholesale trade. Local dealers reduce
their orders, are slow in making remit
tances and have to ask for extensions OF
credit.
The business of the railways Is also
seriously affected. The farmers must
haul their produce to the shipping points
at times when the roads are in fairly
good condition. This causes congestion
OF traffic at times, and partial suspension
at other times. AS result of this, the
railway companies must have a great
many more cars and engines than would
be needed il the traffic were regular and
uninterrupted by impossible roads,
The road question has an important
influence on our national finances in
much the same way As it affects railroad
interests. 1t is well known that large
amount Of ready money is needed in tho
fall Of the year for the moyemento of the
crops This always causes more or less
stringency in the money market Good
roads would make II possible for tho
iarmers to market their crops more at
leisure, would greatly extend the time
during which their surplus would be car
ried TO market, and would relieve these
periodic strains on the money market,
which really have depressing effect on
the business of the whole country.
Ii can thus be seen that the effect OF
| bad roads is far-reaching,- affecting di-
rectly or indirectly the people of the
| towns and cities as well as those o. the
| rural districts. The road question is,
| therefore, a national as well as a local
question. As such It is a proper subject
/ for consideration in the halls of con-
| gress, and 1t is at last receiving the Sc
rious consideration 1t deserves Just
what action will be taken cannot, of
course, be forecasted with certainty, but
all indications point to the enactment of
a national aid law-the Brownlow bill,
or some similar measure, Much, OF
course, depends on the popular demand.
If the people who are most vitality in
terested in road Improvement remain
silent, congress will be slow to act On
the other hand, II the farmers, business
men, manufacturers and railroad men
express their wishes plainly and strong
ly congress may be spurred to prompt
action

Booker T. Washington insists that the
negro is not ungrateful, and, although the

of the fact that their grandmothers and

the story OF an old colored man who saw
the old street cars being replaced by ears

SOME
NEW LAWS
Representative Clark's Bill Con-
sidered Quite Important.
Under Newly Enacted Legislation
Men Garnisheed May Appeal to
Higher Court.
ONE BILL is NOT SIGNED

Frankfort. Ky, March Ain two
measures passed ut the session Of tho
general assembly just closed will the
laborer for wages be especially inter
ested. They are the bill of Represent
alive w. O. Clark. Of Paducsh. repeal
ing Section of the exemption laws,
and tho bill of Senator Nat A. Porter,
of Warren county. amending the act
of 1898 relating to courts of justice.
Both affect the laws as to garnish-
ment OF wages.
The Clark bill, which has already
been signed by the governor and is "A
law, repeals. the section of the exemp-
tion laws adopted at the 1902 SEES
sion, which reads as follows: THE
wages. not to exceed $50. of all per-
sons who work for wages, shall be
exempt from execution, attachment,
distress for rent, garnishment of fec
bills: Provided, That the exemption
of $50 shall not apply to debts con
tracted for food, raiment, or house
rent for the family" The Porter
measure, which is before the execu'
tive awaiting sotion by him, amends
the present law as to courts of justice
so as to authorize appeals from all
Judgments and orders in civil cases of
magistrates, fiscal. city and ordinance
courts to the quarterly court. The
present law permits appeals only
when tho value in controversy is over
