MiniOns spent on River.
Let me say in this connection that many
millions of money has been spent on the
Missouri river from the SOS and sos largely
above and below Lexington, Mo-, with very
little purpose, driving piles, using brush
and rock to make permanent improve
ments. Major Chittenden Of the United
States army, in charge OF the work for
many years, visited points on this great
river some years ago and assured me that
If he could get the money he could control
the river, hut would not undertake 10 do Il
as had been done in the past by driving
piles and use of rock. My views of caring
for this river are to let the engineers study
it's vagaTies. and protecting the banks
from erosions. similar to the work done by
Messrs. Paxton and King of the Union
Stock yards at South Omaha, who at a
small expense protected their own lands
a steamer or ferry boat to do the same,
using sand instead of rock which would not
cost as much by a twentieth part, and an
swering the same purpose when covered
with silt. With a small steamer TO police
! this river in reaches OF one hundred miles
or less and barges to carry the machinery
cattle and material, I would be able 10
protect the banks from erosion and with q
dredee to dredge through the sand bars
and straighten the river, give us a much
better channel than we had forty or fifty
years ago. We could thus save much valua-
bic soil. much OF il worth Sl0t
an acre and save the homes and
energies of one or two generations, which
could be protected at a very moderate cost
I think the government should protect tho
banks, and dredEe through the sand bars
in places, and let the river deepen its chan.
! mel and make II better for navigation.

Judge hillwee Suspends
 Road Work.

County Judge K F Milwee has given notice to the tax payers of Monroe County that all road work must suspend because of the action of the Railroads in stopping the payment into the Treasury of the Road Tax that has just been collected. Judge Milwee states that the Mon roe County fund has already been over drawn, but recites the fact that the contention of the railroads in fighting the legality of the road tax, will be fought to the bitter end and that there is hopes of the law still sticking
 In his letter which was handed to the ARGUS after the paper~was on the press last week, Judge Milwee closes as follows:
 "However, as before stated, all road work, except such as will be necessary and for present travel and as can be done with free labor. will be suspendedfor the present, or until the matter is finally settled by the Courts or the rail roads cease to resist the payment of the taxes. The latter  course, I am inclined to believe they will persue. for they are bound to see that, should they accomplish the de- feat of the three mill road tax, their victory would be only of short duration, as am thoroughly convinced that just as speedily as possible there will be an Amendment voted by the people not for three mill road tax but for five mill instead.
 Very respectfully.

 In commenting on her action, Mrs. Henderson made it plain that while these liquors had never harmed her or her family in any way, yet she believed that they had been tempta- ton to other men and women. She said that she didn't propose to ever allow liquors and wines in her home again.

 Judge R. F. Milwee was up from Clarendon Monday and Tuesday look ing after public road affairs. He inspected the Bayou road Monday and the roads to the south Tuesday. The Iud2e is enthusiastic on the road question and is doing very effective work in road improvement. On the subject of road improvement, the writer has occasionally spoken to pri- yate individuals on the subject of wide tires for wagons as one very helpful way of preserving the road ~bed and has found ready assent to the prop osition that there ought to be 9 measure requiring the use of the wide tire. Many farmers and most teams ters have already voluntarily adopted the wide tire because of it's practical advantages over the narrow tire. We are confident that agitation ot tae i matter would make the measure 2 popular one. The use of the wide tire is required by law in many parts of the country where the roads have been brought to high standard.

The license OF tie Conservative Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company has been
cancelled by Insurance Commissioner
]. r. Young, of Raleigh, after eXamin-
ing the books and being informed
fully as to the status of affairs OF the
company.
Mr.. Thomas Ruffn was appointed
receiver of the company last night by
Judge r. B. PEBBLES upon application
OF Mr.. Young. Mr.. Young came to
Charlotte at the request OF the COM
pany to make an application into the
affairs and to decide what was best
70 be done for the p0licy-hOlders. Al
ter examining the accounts, he decided
that it would be hazardous to the pol
icy-holders for the company TO con-
tinue business and therefore revoked
the license and brought action in the
superior court Of Mecklenburg county
for the appointment OF a receiver TO
settle the affairs Of the company and
to restrain the company from furtner
proceeding with its business.
The amount Of insurance IN force
in the ordinary life department IS over
$500, 900. It is believed that the policy
holders will possibly be protected oy
