retired for five minutes, when they
came back, and the spokesman, to
Lancaster's astonishment, read the
draft Of bill issuing bonds to The
amount of 100000.
The psychological moment had ar
rived. he was shrewd enough to know
it, and bad doubled the agreed upon
igures. With no dissenting voice the
resolution carried, the bill went TO
the Legislature, the bonds were is
sued and the good roads movement
was on.
Now comes salient feature of
the hard-road proposition. When
the hard roads were completed no
more road tax was needed for
roads in those districts. That ques-
ton had been solved. No more
road work was needed, and the
money which was collected for
that purpose went into a sinking
fund to liquidate the bonds when
they fell due.
What do you think of that, gen.
tlemen9 No increase in road tax,
good roads, and a fund provided
for the payment of the bonds.
Can you beat it?

AN AGED PHYSICIAN
After Years Of Experience Gives the
Following Advice.

IF you have anything to do with
medicines at all be pretty sure you
know what you are taking. /"
One of the ProprietOrs of the Red
Cross Drug Store, says this is strong
point in favor OF their valuable cod liv-
err preparation, Vinol. Everything it
contains is plainly printed on the la
bel, therefore 1t Is not patent medi-
cine.
Vinol contains 10 a highly concen-
trated form all the medicinal ele-
meats OF cod liver Oil, actually taken
from fresh Gods llvers, but with the
useless, neauseating Gil eliminated
aud tonic iron, which Is needful con-
stituent for the blood, added.
This is the reason that Vinol accom-.
plishes such wonderful results In cur
ing chronic coughs, colds, bronchial
and lung Troubles, and there Is moth
ing known to medicine that Will so
quickly build up the run down, over
worked, tired and dibIlitated, or give
stength and renewed vitality to the
aged, as Vinol.
We can only ask every person 10
Union City who nee1s such a medicine
to try VinOl on our offer to return
their money II it falls Red Cross
Drug Store, Watson &Kimzey. Props
NOTE. - While we are sole agents for
Vinol in Union City, 1t IS now for sale
at the leading drug stores in nearly
every town and city in The country.

WORTHLESS LEaIsLATIoN.

The Tennessee Legislators hav,
introduced the usual influx of bills
to be passed upon at this session,
and not a few of them are wholly
absurd. One in particular is with.
out the semblance of excuse. This
is the bill to prohibit the sale OF
or traffic in what are known as
patent medicines in the State of
Tennessee, the result of which
would be neither a benefit nor an
advantage practically to any per-
son in the State, but, on the con-
trary, would act as an obstruction
to the enforcement of the National
Pure Food and Drugs Act. What
the purpose was in offering this
bill is hard to tell. 1t would be
worth very little to the physician,
for nearly every doctor is directly
or indirectly interested in som e
pharmacy in his town. Then who
could it benefit. There are lots of
good medicines manufactured all
over the country, and many people
are not only interested in the man
ufacture, but in their use.
The Federal law regulates inter-
state commerce in drugs and medi-
cines, requiring that the label of
every medicine shall tell only the
simple truth and that the presence
of alcohol or any narcotic drugs
in a medicine shall be disclosed
upon the label. This act was
framed after seventeen years of
discussion and is certainly worthy
of a fair trial.
1t is not our intention to take
sides with the manufacturers of
patent" medicines against ply
sicians, or anyone else, but the
tendency these days to legislate in
the interest Of classes is passing
beyond the limits of constitutional
Doundf. Many of these are good
medicines, and they are generally
known to have meritorious proper
les in them. Many perhaps are
Inferior. If so the pure food and
lrngs act will cover the case, and
hat is what it is intended for. If
he medicines are good then the
should be protected .
n their constitutional rights just
he same as any other person,
whether he is physician, drug
list or engaged in any other
profession or legitimate pursuit.

THE ONLY WAY.

i We are living in republic, tina
is we are living under that impress
sion, but it looks like there are
hundreds and thousands of people
who are either ignorant or disre-
spectful of our public institutions.
1t is hard to believe that there are
members of State Legislatures,
and even members of Congress,
who have not read the Constitu-
ton of the United States, but the
way some measures have been in
troduced into and acted upon by
these law-making bodies is evil
dence of the fact that there are
men in high places totally ignos
rant of its provisions, which we're
intended to be the foundation of
all our laws; either that or people
have grown to respect that ancient
and honored instrument no more,
and care less what kind of gov
ernment we have.
The gross neglect or inexcusable
ignorance of many legislators in
drawing their bills to comply with
the provisions of the Constitution
is too palpable when some of the
recent efforts at Legislation have
been considered, and even some
of the laws which are now on the
books. There are conspicuous in
stances of these things. Some
men think they have a right to
ignore Constitution, precedent
and everything else In making
laws against trusts and corpora
tions. These concerns have the
power to WELD world of infu
ence for good or bad. But we
would rather see every trust and
in the u nited States
thrive and fatten and wax greater
and stronger than that the liber.
ties and rights ofour Constitutional
should be threatened.
The signs of crumbling of tn 9
greatest and best-if not the most
government on earth,
or that history gives us any &C
are more menacing than all
the ills of commercialism. There
are no immediate indications of
these things, but there is an insid
ious disregard for Constitutional
rights, with a gradual threatening
of beaurocracy and autocracy.
Public officials are asking for more
and excuses are growing,
Caesar is demanding more tribute.

WHAT WE SHOULD BE.

/
ISOLATION is endeavoring to land a
concrete block plant. The secre-
tary is now in correspondence with
q very reputable concern with
good prospects. The vice presi.
dent, w. q. Reynolds, stated that
it was the purpose of the associa.
ton to double the population of
Union City in five years, and he
added that it could be easily done.
1t has always been our opinion
and we believe it yet that Union
City can be made to grow larger
and better. We have advantages
that no other town has in the
whole te--leaving out the cities.
First we have a country sur
rounding Union City as rich and
fertile as the land Of the Nile-the
best agricultural county in the
State. That is a fact and it is
enough if we had nothing else in
the world. But we have the fin.
est city schools and churches. We.
have pure healthy water coming
from artesian wells, as fine as the
earth affords. What next, we
have 1000 healthy, sensible, hospi-
table, intelligent, Industrious and
religious people. Isn't that enough
to guarantee city. This should
have been city long ago with the
right kind of enterprise.
We have now the men who
propose to look after our CONNER
cial and industrial growth, and
they are good and reliable citizens. |
That they are fully in earnest
and confident that the results will
meet their anticipations there is lit |
tie doubt.
They will meet draw backs and
discouragements. The first will be
knockers. Without meaning to
be disrespectful it must be said
that we have such people. Then
there comes the citizen who tells
you that he would help you, but
your scheme is not practical.
Wonder if all the schemes which
built Chicago are impractical.
Treat the wise citizens and knock
ers with the greatest respect, but
push ahead regardless of what they
say, keeping at it, day in and day
out.
Ii this recipe fails in Union City
with its natural surroundings and
internal advantages, then there is
no hope for US. But never let an
opportunity pass. Inaugurate
what in the wisdom Of the associ-
alton is the best plan, then move
ahead with the spirit and determine
tion to succeed, This method will
work to our advantage and no man
on earth can successfully contra
dict it. e

NO POOL SELLING.
No Attempt Made to Gamble on Re-
suits At the Acqueduct Track.

New York. April 1.-THE anticipated
renewal OF hoStilities in the race track
pOOlrOom war did not occur at the
opening Of the Aqueduct track. The
racing association used the same pre-
cautions used last year to prevent a
leakage Of information to the pool
rooms. and apparently the proprietors
of the latter made no effort to upset
these plans.
In anticipation Of some move by the
poolr0om syndicates 10 obtain racing
news, the Pinkerton men went to the
trouble OF obsCuring the view of the
track from the tower that was erected
close by last season. This was done by
stretching sheets of canvas between
poles, which, however. had TO be taken
down because Of The high winds. But
they were not needed. as the tower re-
manned unoccupied.
1t is the belief among racing men
that the campaign being waged by the
district attorneys office and the police
department against the poolroom syn
dicates had had its effect. 1t has been
learned that the syndicates were the
collectors and distributing centers of
the racing news. With these out Of
business, as they are believed TO be. at
least temporarily. the individual pool
room keepers gets little or no informa
ton.
