Good Roads Essential.
From Bay St. Louis Echo.


Bad Roads add TO distance, and
it Is not surprising our friends
living in the northern and central
portions of the county, who are
thus cut off from the county seat,
should be clamoring for a special
court district or division of the
county. 1t has been quietly sug-
gested, and the remark will bear
repetition here, that half the cost
of new district and courthouse
could be put to better and more
practical results if expended on one
grand roadway-wide and level
cutting directly through the coun-
ty, connecting the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad with the North
eastern Railroad.
The present system of building
and maintaining the county roads
has we'll proven failure, and II
now behooves those IN authority to
apply the remedy which is found
only in the contract system. Good
roads in Hancock are essential to
The prosperity of every part of the
county, a factor to progress and
instrumental in establishing and
maintaining business between
towns and immediate points, No
supervisor who is not a champion
of good roads should receive the
favorable consideration of the too
deluded voter.

IntercOastaI Canal.

The Congressional party inspect
Ing the waterways of Louisiana have
said many nice things about the
State. Among the numerous inter-
views published in the Picayune we
note the following:
HON. ERNEST F. ACHEsoN, OF WASH
INGToN, PA.
This til , through Louisiana has
been a wonderful revelation of the
marvellous and varied resources of
your State. We have seen evidences
that the fertility of your soil is un-
surpassed, and that the extent and
value of your mineral resources are
remarkable. With such care and
cultivation as is given to the soil in
France, Holland and other coun-
tries Of Europe, Louisiana could
readily sustain population Of 500
per square mile, instead Of thirty,
which it now has. Your 5000 miles
OF navigable waters, which reach all
save three parishes, are unequaled
by any country in the world. At
comparatively small expense, ev
cry portion of your splendid domain
can be made to enjoy the blessings
of water transportation. The area
of Louisiana is the same as that of
Pennsylvania, but our State is fin
ished, while y our territory increases
each year many thousands Of acres
by the rich alluvial deposits of the
Mississippi, and by reclalming
marsh lands. Western Pennsyl-
vania has a deep interest in the
prosperity and development of your
State With the completion of the
9 foot channel in the Ohio river and
the construction of your Inter-
coastal Canal, with its network of
intervening waterways, we shall be
able to deliver our bltuminous coal,
the best in the world, at your doors
at $3.50 per ton. We can thus
bring you structural steel for your
skyscrapers, pipe for your oil wells
and rice plantations, all finished
products OF iron and steel, glass,
pottery, fine BRICK and heavy
freight of all kinds at 81 so per ton
for carriage, where you now pay a
tax of from 50 to 81 per ton on all
these articles which you consume.
These are official figures, fixed by
the special Board Of Army Engi-
neers, who have reported on the
Improvement of the Ohio river.
Moreover, these engineers say that
the products of Louisiana-sugar,
molasses, rice, salt, lumber and
heavy nonperishable frelghts- can
be conveyed from here to Pittsburg
at So. 80 per ton by water. Now
the railroad freight charge is 81 to
SIP per ton. Even when your pro-
ducts go by water to Atlantic sea-
ports, Baltimore, Philadelphia or
New York, it costs us $3.50 per ton
to bring them from seaboard by rail
to Pittsburg. Is it any wonder we
want the Ohio river improved and
your intercoastal constructed !?
Twenty million people will be bene-
fitted by these waterway improve
ments.
The management Of our party by
Mr.. GueVdan has been admirable.
Only by his tact and courtesy were
we enabled to make our itinerary
MIR. Lowe has been most thoughtful
and attentive. The trip has been a
continuous ovation, due, l imagine,
to the personal popularity Of your
capable representatives, Messrs.
Ransdell, Broussard, Watkins and
Puio, who arranged for it.

GuREn 0E RHEUMATISM.

Mr.. VIM. Henry, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, had rheumatism in his left arm.
"Ihe strength seemed to have gone out
of the muscles so that it was useless
for work." he says. "I applied
Chamberlain Pain Balm and wrapped
the arm in flannel at night, and to my
relief found that the pain gradually
left me and the strength returned. In
three weeks the rheumatism had dis
appeared and has not since returned. "
If troubled with rheumatism. try few
applications of Pain Balm. You are
certain to be pleased with the relief
which it affords.
