ROAD Improvement AGAIN.
Vance County Farmers Should Write
to Their Representatives at Raj.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-The Legislature
now in session has been notified by a
cabal OF economists which met at Hen
derson short time ago that il would bt
applied to for authority to submit to the
voters OF Vance county the question Of
a bond issue for the roads III Vance county
not exceeding the sum uf $4,000. am
now fully assured that poll opened in
this county to determine the wishes oil
the voters will he a needless expense. In
plain English $4,000 will not accom-.
piish the desired results as is proven BY
the mud roads OF Granville county which
cost 1t seems as q mere coin, lence
just S2O,OJO
This session OF the Legislat re is dra W.
ing to a close and parties who can calcu-
late and have calculated the cost know
full well that such small expenditure as
$2O,OO0 will give only temporary relief
for which we will be taxed for years to
come long after the mud roads have been
returned to their original condition al
degradation. The question is what is
the remedy even at this late day? It's
simply this: Urge upon every farmer in
Vance county to write to his Representa-
tives in the Legislature at once and ex-
press each one his views as to the proper
amount that should he voted for to COZ =
struct Permanent Roads for Vance
county. Let the majority rule regard
less OF political affiliations. 1fthey decide
not to have Permanent Roads their pla N
duty is to vote down the $4,000 issue
of bonds a the end desired cannot be ac-
complished by the expenditure Of any
such beggarly sum.
it's very true that greater values sub
ject to taxation are located in Henderson
and that some of the townships where
the tax levied is proratad, will be found
t. be quite small by comparison with
Henderson township. Be it SO. what
would Henderson be without the wagon
trade? A train of wagons loaded for
Henderson is more profitable to the
merchants than many railroad trains
passing through Henderson. All interior
towns are built up by the wagon trade
Seaport towns or cities keep their water
roadsheds deepened that ships of heavy
lraup hit may ply in it's waters. The Gen
e.al Government pays millions each year
for such improvements. Why, then, is it
that Henderson, an interior town. de-
pendent on wagon trains. should give
such a small crumb of comfort as $40.
300 bond issue when it's we'll known
that the transportation to market over
bad roads is the heaviest tax the farmer
pays? Therefore, the town that is built
mp by the farmer should extend it's hand
to pull him out of the mud

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness. and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition OF the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result and unless the infama-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
iniamed condition of the mucous services.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

DOCTOR SAYS 'TW0ULD lNjURE HEALTH
John c. Mccall starts for Home with
Statement Prepared by Hamil-
ton for the New York
Committee.
DOCTOR SAYS 'TWoULD INjuRE HEALTl

PARIS, Dec 16.-John c. Mccall, son of
John A. Mccall, president of the New York
Life Insurance company, who came to
Paris for the purpose of having Andrew
Hamilton, the former confidential legisla-
tive representative of the insurance COM
pany at Albany, accompany him back to
New York, sailed alone today on the
steamer La Lorraine from Havre. Mr..
Mccall took with him Mr.. Hamilton's re-
port concerning his connection with the
insurance company's affairs.
The first statement was furnished from
an authoritative source:
Mr.. Mccall found upon his arrival here
that Mr.. Hamilton was under the care of
DR.. Rviere, famous specialist Mr.. Nc
Call delayed his departure at Mr.. Hamil-
tons request in order 10 see If the treat
ment would enable Mr.. Hamilton to return,
but the doctor finally stated that the trip
Mr. Hamilton contemplated and his return
by a serious illness. Absolute rest for
several months will be necessary. In lieu
of his return Mr.. Hamilton has prepared
and sent a full and explicit statement COW
ering his connection with the affairs of the
insurance company.
1t is understood Mr.. Hamiltons response
to the legislative committee takes the form
of going over the entire ground of the in
vestigation. Both Mr.. Mccall and Mr..
Hamilton declined to go into details of the
report on the ground of courtesy to the
committee. However, it is clear that the
report was taken to the United States to-
day and that 1t embraces a statement OF
Mr.. Hamilton's operations since his connec.
ton with the New York Life Insurance
company
