COUNTY BOARD DISCUSSES ITS
 NEXT YEARS PROGRAM.
proeeeds of e2S0,o0 Bonds Recently Voted VIII Soon Become AvaiI-
 able-Lower Portion of Coua. ty To De Helped Eirst.

The Board of Revenue of Montgom- cry County, at its meeting yesterday, discussed ways and means of dispos- for road extension in Montgomery County recently voted by the people. The Board Is making arrangements in advance for the building of new grav- oiled roads as soon as the weather will permit it in those parts of the county which have not now the splendid grav- eiied roads which characterize the lar ger part of Montgomery County.
 It was decided yesterday that those are in the lower portion and which have the poorest roads should be among the first to reap the benefits.
 Extensive road building will hardly begin before spring, as such work is impracticable in the bad weather of winter. But repear work on the roads will be pushed, so that all facilities for road building will be available when Spring begins.
 During the winter gravel will be hauled to those stations where gravel is kept. and everything will be put in readiness for general road building as soon as tho weather permits. Road contracts to the amount of s60,0oo have been let. pf the money available from the bond sale.
 At the meeting yesterday road mat ters occupied the principal time of the members of, the Board of Revenue. The road situation in Montgomery County was gone over and discussed in all it's phases.
 Mrs. Henry Barnes. of Myrtle. peti- tioned the board to improve bit of road little more than mile in length from Myrtle to the Carter Hill Road The petition was referred to the Coun- ty Engineer.
 The Board was notified by Secretary Mertfns, of the County Board of Health, that under the new code the office of County Physician was made elective by the Board of Healt.l of the county, fn- stead of by the Board of Revenue as in the past County Attorney W. M. Blakey confirmed this information, say ing he had discussed it with the Attor- ney General.
 A petition from an attorney of Dallas Texas, asking that he be paid Tee for representing the State in the pro- ceedings which followed when two witnesses refused to come from Dai- las to Montgomery and testify in the Cafsey case The Board decided that 1t had no right to order the payment of the bill.

SHOW ATTRACTS CROWDS
Hundreds Enjoy Entertainments and Lectures of Col. Dillingham; and His Assistants
 Every Afternoon and Night

yove. laughter and song seemed to prevail at the platform of Colonel Dii- ,,.1h.n, at the meetings which the millionaire holds in this city on Court Square.
 r.. r,etbods of the Plant Juice man seems to attract great crowds as on D platform near the middle of the souare. { good entertainment is given. Songs are sung. jokes are told and a show worth any one's while to see IS given every day and nisht.
 The talk of the lecturer. whether 1t be the Colonel himself who some times takes hand or any one of his associates who are always on hand Is worth listening to and is highly en- tertaining.
 The methods seem to be popular and hundreds of people attend as regularly ss they do moving picture show. and 1t is without the price of admission.
 Plant Juice appeals evidently to the people who readily buy it every night. It is said by some who take delight In attending the demonstrations on the Square that hundreds of bottles are yoId every day and while of course his might be somewhat of an exag- yeration. yet 1t Is very apparent that lhere is good demand for the ren- sdy.
 There are many stories in circulation ,f the good that has been done, and Is where there is smoke there is also sre, it is safe to say that the medi- sine must o5 very ehicacious, other wise the. demand would not be so vreat.

 Tells of the Conference.

State Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Wilkinson returned Sunday from Columbia, S. C., where he went to at tend the annual convention of the State Commissioners of Agriculture, and where he occupied a conspicuous place on the program.

 . "It was a great meeting" said the Commissioner yesterday. "and indi- cated that the agricultural depart ments of the South are getting closer together for the benefit of the farming interests. There were some splendid addresses made. and the exchange of ideas is bound to rebound for the good of the country at large"
 Commissioner Wilkinson's speech was along the line of the adaptability of different soils for different crops, and the need for intelligent survey to ascertain just what crops can best be raised in certain territory. He told

RUSSIAN COTTAGE FACTORIES.
Village of Which the Chief Industry Is
Manufacture of Padlocks

Russian cottage factories are passing,
politico-economic tumults have driven
tailors, joIners, grocers, bakers and can
dle-stick makers to numbering, stoneiCk-
ing and other labors more remuneratiye.
Pavlovo is a typical industrial village
of the old style. The chief employment
of the village, says the Chicago Tribune,
is the production of articles of metal, the
manufacture of locks alone giving en-
ployment to 400 cottages, with 1900
male artifcers. The pet object of manu-
facture is the paddock. With the eXccp-
ton of the bows and springs all the
parts of the paddock are made by the ar
tifcer and the members of his family
of 10 years old and upward. The en-
ploymcnt of outsiders is the exception.
One family manufactures weekly from
10 to $50 locks. according to size and
kind. Latterly an industrial school with
model workshops has been opened in the
village and box and door locks have been
attempted. Barring the products of the
hrgcr factories, which find their way di-
rect TO Moscow and the larger cities, the
entire trade of the district is in the
hands of the local middlcmcn.
Many steps already have been taken
with view of amciioratng the lot Of
the cottager and of giving him a larger
share of the product of his industry.

Glover Hay.

1t is claimed that clover hay may be
baled in the field, but experiments
made are not sufficient to show the
benefits derived, compared with storing
clover in the NOV. The clover is cut
in the morning, after it is free from
dew or rain, and when we'll wiltcd the
hay tedder is used, so as to give it ev-
cry chance to cure. In the afternoon
the hay is baled and hauled to the barn
If this method IS practiced, care must
be exercised in having the hay prop
erly cured and in just the proper con
ditlon for. baling. as baled clover is
more liable to heat than timothy or
other kinds.

PARIS FOND OF HORSE.
Said to Have Eaten 10000 Horses Last
Year Because Beef Is Dear.

The consumption Of horse meat for
food has greatly increased in France
since the present increase in the price
of foOdstuffs set in. \ Partisan news
paper says that out Of 2S.937 horses sold
at the market on the boulevard de l'IIos-
pital, Paris, in 1906, -, 792, or about 50
per cent, went direct to the Vanguard
abattOlr, not to speak of hundreds of
horses that were taken there directly.
1t is estimated that last year Paris
ate altogether 10000 horses or more than
22,OOO,OO0 pounds Of horscilcsh. In 1899
the consumption was less than 10000
600 pounds.
Besides the low price there has been
n demand for horse meat because it is
supposed to be wholesome in eases Of
tuberculosis and tubercuouS tendency.
Many people regard it as in general more
healthful than beef. Its alimentary val
uc is regarded as much lower than that
of beef and 1t is said to be much more
liable to produce toxic effects if the ami
NAL was not III prime condition when
slaughtered or if the meat has been kept
long.

Oats as Green Feed

Oats can be made to provide an album
dance Of food by being grown and cut
While the heads are in a milky stage.
The straw is then in palatable condi-
ton, containing portions of the nutri-
ton which have been arrested on their
way to fill out the heads. When cut in
this green condition the straw and heads
&re cured like hay, can be bundled and
then stacked on the ground for winter
use. The proper way to feed oats
cured In that manner Is to pass them
through fodder cutter. and they will
be eaten readily by horses, cattle ana
sheep.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work Of such q woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of n
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is displacement, Inflammation
or liberation Of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
in strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
cuperating thercfrom it is most eff
cient. 1t carries a woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be n good wife and mother.
Mrs, Sadie Abbott, of Jeanette,
