CastIeberry, Ala, OCt. If, ISVo. The Advertiser, Montgomery, Ala: The source of infection here has not yet been unraveled. Only two cases of acute fever are now in the town.

 The houses in the vicinity of the one in which the two deaths from yellow fever occurred are being fumigated for the purpose of destroying any infected mosquitoes that may be in them. All efforts to trace the source of in lection of the two fatal cases will be exhausted.

GOOD ROADS METHOD.
The System in Vogue in Toronto, Can,
Involves Payment Of Road
Tax in Money. ~

A correspondent Of tho Michigan
Farmer in speaking Of the Good Roads
convention held in Port Huron, COM
mends highly the address of Hon. A.
w. Campbell, of Toronto, who ex.
planned the system in vogue in Toron-
to. He said they used to have the
statute labor law by which each town
ship had great number of overseerA
He knew Of one township that had 81
overseers and in that township there
was generally new one in each dis
trict each year: One of them would
build the road Is feet wide, another
rs feet wide-and some 40 feet, and thu
next year new one would reduce tho
width where the one made it wide and
another would widen the narrow road.
SO it was always being changed and q
share Of the work lost each year. So
they never had any good roads until
they adopted their present system.
which is the payment Of road tax in
money-and they have one commits
sioner in each township to oversee all
of the roads and expend the money.
He advocated the establishment OF
gravel pits where good gravel could be
gotten to put on the roads and said
his experience had been that good.
clean gra 'el would outlast most of the
broken stAue. He was in favor Of CO.
ment culverts-said they had molds,
four differ ent sizes-and they put
gangs of men in gravel pits and made
up the blocks and left them In pit all
winter to seaHon, then next season got
them as they wanted them. For very
large culverts they srched them over
even to the width Of 20 and 30 feet.
He said do not be afraid to use plenty
of cement This authority claims there
can be no progress made on our roads
under statute labor law. He claimed
any good competent man could build
roads and he advocated about a>2O-foot
roadway with nine feet of gravel sur
face with gradual slope each way to
bitches. and above all good bitches
and drainage.

Ing up my mind what to do next. l
told my friend that I would see him
again about four p. M, and Immediate
ly left his Office. I'D. ... ..,.
1T occurred to ne that It would be
a good plan to have my own life in
sured by this old line legal reserve
company, and thereby learn their
methods in detail. Accordingly, l tele-
phoned the local agency of the COM
pany that I was III the market for
about $4,000 Insurance.; that l under
stood they could give me seven annual
premiums On 20-payment life policy,
and asked if they would please send
representative to my Office, as I
wanted my protection to begin at once.
Very soon asuave, well-dressed gentle
man made his appearance, and after In
Producing himself, informed me that he
had just received telegram from the
home Office OF, his company, to the ef-
feet that the particular policy I want
ed was to be Immediately Withdrawn
from the market, that the company
was losing money through it. How
ever, he would try to put my applica-
ton through, as could not we'll afford
to lose the opportunity of securing such
very desirable proposition.
81, of course, appeared very ig.
norant of the forms and phrases, CON-
mon to insurance, and simply said that
I desired the best could get for the
least money, and that I wanted 1t
right away; whereupon, he produced
the application blank (the document
for which I had been so anxiously
waiting). In it was embodied In very
fine print, the following:

per he wanted me to sign; whereupon,
I picked 1t up and placed it in my
pocket. Of course he objected strenu-
ously, but possession is nine-tenths Of
the law, and l did not propose to lose
out at that stage Of the game.
II explained to Mi. Agent that was
in somewhat Of hurry; that had al

Tor him, and If he would be 80 kind as
to excuse me, I would call him up at

1.-THE loan Of $975 against the policy
only was so arranged in the body Of
the application that the purchaser
would have no suspicious, thinking
that the company as an old line cor
poration, was surely free from fraud;
and the average applicant seldom
takes the precaution of reading the ap-
plication blank thoroughly.
Had not been suspicious I, too,
would have been led into the trap, even
though I had really intended taking
the policy.
''The loan note of 1915 embodied in
the application is accepted by the
company as the security necessary to
place with the state as the reserve on
seven years insurance. 80 long as
the policy is kept in force, the loan
note against It Is as good as the cash.
inasmuch as it carries five per cent.
compound interest.
''The face Of the policy was payable
at death only. The loan against 1t
would continue to increase, and If the
insured lived 30 years after buying the
policy his family would find that, in
stead Of the $1,000 cash, which the
husband and father had depended en-
to take care of his loved ones, they
would receive only $1,000 less 1915,
with five per cent compound interest
for 80 years, or $4,212, leaving a bal
i ance of only $7SS due the estate.

conditions of the policy, lost no time

to show me the policy which he
had just purchased, giving s0-day

Upon our arrival at his Office, he
spread before me large, imposing
contract. It was almost completely
covered with apparently sworn state
ments from state officials. as to the
sound financial standing of the COM

had no such article, but he guessed he

agent explained was a mere old line
