THOMAS S. CARTER.
Both Feet for Better Roads"--
Some Good Thoughts Set Forth

Attorney T. S. Carter in the
Sturgeon Leader writes:
see that you propose to subscribe
500 for each of four rock roads
leading in as many directions out
from Sturgeon. Now, l want to
raise you one, that is, I'll raise
you $500. But l don't want rock,
or gravel roads. l favor building
them with vitrifed brick, as that
is the coming material for paving
roads and streets. The brick can
be made at convenient points along
the proposed roads, and where
there is hill it could be graded
down aud the clay used to make
the brick. For the sake of econo-
my we could put up with a road
II feet, or even ten feet, wide, by
making half moon switches at
convenient distances for the pur-
pose of passing. Then automo-
biles could make speed on these
roads equal to an electric line. For
bedding for the brick we could use
ballast such as is placed on rail
road beds, which, like the brick,
could be burned along the route.
do not believe there will ever
be any more gravel roads built,
especially in this prairie country.
1t is not only possible but highly
practical to build these brick roads,
and they are easily within the
reach of the people, and can be
built by taxation or private sub.
scription, or by both. | believe
brick cheaper than gravel and
very much more durable. Why, l
think it would be a good private
investment, as farmers would
cheerFully pay reasonable toll.
Let us all go to thinking about
this and the first thing you know
we will have good roads, provided
we put our ideas into execution.
The farmers could do all the work
and the town people and men of
capital could furnish the money to
buy the brick machinery. The
people in town tax themselves to
put up electric lights which are
merely a luxury compared to good
roads which are an absolute neces-
sity. Yes, farmers along these
roads could we'll afford to bond
their lands to build brick paved
roads as the enhancement in the
value of their farms would more
than Offset the expense. Put me
down with both feet for better
roads"

The Republican ANGELS. !"

The Republican Angels"
The Fulton Gazette publishes
the following:
The largest contribution to the
Republican state campaign fund of
1904 was $4,000 given by AdoI-
phus Busch, of st. Louis.
Mr.. Busch, incidentally, is the
biggest brewer in the world. Asa
brewer he is intereste d in the en-.
forcement of the Sunday laws to
the extent that he wants them vio-
lated, for with closed saloons on
Sunday the demand for beer is ma
terially decreased, thus hurting
his business.
Is it not unreasonable to believe
that the Republican committee ae-
cepted Mr.. Busch's money and at
the same time opposed his inter
ests? Yet Thomas K. Niedring-
haus, chairman of the Republican
state committee, is trying tomake
the people of Nilsson ri believe that
that paradoxical condition existed
in 1904 aud that it exists at this
time. No one with really good
sense believes that Mr.. Busch
would give so much money to
support political party that is
sincerely opposed to his interests.
Whatever else may be said of Mr..
Busch, it cannot be said that he is
business fool, and the fact that
he gave $4,000 to the campaign
fund establishes an alliance be-
tween the Republican managers
and the brewers that Mr.. Med
ringhaus, nor no other man, can
explain satisfactorily to au instinc
tiy honest people.
The only way for the Repubh-
can party to make good" in sup
port of law enforcement is for it's
state convention to fire" Med
riughaus from the craftsmanship of
the state committee aud return
the Busch contribution. 1t takes
no prophetic mind to foresee that
that will not be done. Mr.. Med
ringhaus contributes some of his
i'll gotten gains from the tin-plate
trust to the campaign fluid, aud
he, with Mr.. Busch, are the IAN.
gels" of the party. The party
might give up some things in def
erence to public opinion, but not
its "augels"-that is asking too
much.

R. E. Sobolewski, j. w. Harris

first used one section of u harrow
with two horses, then three, going
over the road twice. They then
laid low the harrow aud pulled it
over the road. Mr.. Sobolewski
says it now looks like it was made
for a bicycle track. Earl House
began to drag the road Tuesday in

HOG CHOLERA
The Problem of a Cure is
Now Solved

The much dreaded disease, hog
cholera, has lost its terror to those
who are posted on modern methods
of tr1 ating the disease. 1t is now q
durable disease. Any practical
farmer who will follow the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturers
can stop the worst outbreak of dis
ease that ever came and save almost
every hog able to take the treatment
and restore the herd to thrift in a
few days time.
The Snoddy Remedy, manufacture
ed by The DR.. j. H. Snoddy Remedy
Co., of Alton, Ill.,, has been used in
this country and has proven itself a
positive cure for the much dreaded
disease. 1t is now on sale in Hop
kinsville. by the Planters Hardware
Co., Inc, who will furnish any farm
er or hog raiser one of Snoddy's
books on hog cholera, free of charge,
who will call at their store for it,
Full directions for curing hog
cholera is fully explained in this lit
tie booklet. Every farmer should
have one. They are free, and it is
hoped that the people will study up
on this new method Of treating the
disease so they can feel safe from
the disease when raising hogs and
also so they will understand how to
keep the cholera out of this country.
The remedy is also OH sale by E. w.
Stegar & Dickson, down at Mason

farmer a copy of Snoddy's book on
hog cholera, who will call there for
it.
This remedy is the greatest worm

there is on the market. The extra
gain they will make from its effect
will return the farmer an average of

and one that pays a greater profit
than anything else on the farm the

vested into.
The remedy is certain in, its action
when properly used. 1t is impossi-
BILE for a cholera germ or worm of
any kind to live in hog while that
hog is under the influence of this
remedy. The remedy will destroy
every worm or germ of this kind and
the hog will get we'll in short while
