In addition to what may be term
ed the commercial aspect Of good
roads they have highly important
social aspect as we'll. They bring
the farmer into closer touch with
the world at large. He and his
family are not forced to remain at
home for days at time because the
conditions of the roads may make
travelling unpleasant if not difficult
Good roads insure efficient and
prompt rural mail delivery, plac-
ing the newspaper on the table OF
the farmer early on the day Of 'tS
publication, enabling him to trans
act much OF his business by N:all
and to take advantage of early in
formation as to fluctuation in the
prices Of his farm products. Good
roads mean that the farmer aud the
members of his family can enjoy

ing closer together of thc Own and
country. with advantages on both
sides, for as the farmer is benefited
by being brought into closer touch
with the town, so all the business
interests of the town prosper as the
result of the facility with which the
farmer and his family can do their
sboDpins. Good roads also beneht
the inhabitants Of towns and cities
by affording facilities for pleasant
country drives. They invite the DuSi-
ness man to the establishment ol

as he can enjoy only when he IS

About twelve or fifteen years ago,
while living in West Virginia. had
breaking-out, and it itched and stung so
badly that could not have any peace
because Of it. ! saw three doctors and
they did not agree on what it was, SO
one Of them gave me something that be
called medicine, but I called it soda
water. I might just as we'll have
washed in rain-water. Then got some
Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Resolvent and began to get
be:ter right away. They cured me and
I have not been bothered with the Itch
ing since, to amount to anything.
About two years ago had Ia grippe
and pneumonia which left me with
pain in my side Treatment ran it into
nv leg, which then swelled and began
to break cut. 1t got in pretty bad
shape, so went to q doctor. He was
afraid it would turn to blood-polsonl.
I used his medicine but it did no good.
So sent for another set Of the Cuticura
Remedies. 7 used them three times
and cured the breaking-out on my leg.

Fine City Lots.

DR.. D. J. Hydrick has opened up
suburb which he very appropriately
has named Fairview. 1t Is located
in the Northeastern portion of the
city, as shown in cut in ad. in
another column. The lots are about
SIS miles from the Court House,
and about 10 minutes walk to the
business center. They are high,
overlooking the city and beautifully
situated in first class section. This
looks like a fine chance to build Il
home, particularly so when you con'
slider that labor, lumber and other
material are cheaper now than they
have been in several years past. We
understand that these lots can be
bought on easy terms.

Dear Editor: In reply to my; letter
OF July 31st, 1908, on the subject
of diversifcation Of Southern agr;-
culture and industries. some of the
editors to whom it was sent asked
me to write to them from time to
time on matters of interest to ,..e
people Of our section. This has led
me. to take the liberty Of addressing
you on topic of Importance to all
our people and especially to the
farmers Of the South.
II the farm is to be profitable it
must not merely produce abundant
crops, but its products must be put
where they can be sold. BY what
ever means of transportation they
may u,timGtly be carried before they
reach the final consumer, our farm
products move primarily over the
country highways, and the condition
OF the roads leading from the farm
to the shipping point or to near
by consuming center, such as man
ufacturing town, affects materially
the profits of the farmer and the
value OF his farm. The condition
Df the road controls the size OF
the load that can be hauled over It
and the speed at which it can be
carried An Improvement by whic /
the farmer is enabled to carry. with
the same vehicle and the same team,
load seventy-five Or one hundred
per: cent heavier. will result in a SUI
stantiaI saving in his time and in thu
wear and tear of his vehicles and
teams. The construction Of good
roads leading from market town
has practically the same effect rs
bringing the farms nearer to the
town. 1t extends by several miles
in every direction the area Of terri-
tory in which farmers can profita-
bly, engage in market gardening ana
dairying. That this is true has
been effectively demonstrated II
those localities in the Southern States
and in other sections Of the country
where road improvements hav- been
carried out intelligently and sysie-
matically.
The cost OF the farmer OF hauling
his products over poor. roads is not
always appreciated, for the reason
that it is rare tnat a farmer pays 10!
having his hauling done. The United
has made an investigation of this
States Department Of Agriculture
matter. however, and the result
show the cost for cotton, for Instance
TO be an average rate Of twenty
seven cents per ton per ME Tor IN
average haul Of lis miles. That
road Improvement would materi -Iiy
reduce this cost is shown by the fol-
lowing striking statement in the Hea'

Kodol is a combination Of the
natural digestive juices and it di-
gests all classes of food and every
kind of food, so you see it will do
the work that the stomach itself
does. The only difference between
it and the stomach is the stomach
can get out of order and kodol can
put the stomach into good order.

LOW AND WOODFORD
County Committees Choice Of Dele
gates-at-Lmge to Chicago.

President Parsons of the Republican County
Committee, following a conference yesterday with
State Chairman Woodruff, said that the county
committee would recommend to the Republican
State Convention Seth Low and General stewart
l.. Woodford delegates-at-arge TO the Chicago
Convention. He did not venture to say who the
upstate men would be, but it would not surprise
Mr.. Parsons and Mr.. Woodruff If President Schur-
man of Cornell and Frederick II. Hazard. or
Syracuse, named.
The county organzatios is for Seth Low and
General Woodford" said President Parsons We
are not very much concerned as to who the other
two men are if get Low and Woodford. | am
confident that at all the Congress district conVen-
tions Thursday night the delegates will be in
structed for Governor Hughes, in accordance with
the spirit OF the resolution adopted by the county
committee"
Mr.. Parsons will go as a delegate from the 18th
District.
Little Importance is attached to the stories that
Governor HugheS's name will not be presented at
the national convention. The Governor has not in
terfered with the plans of the Republican state
ganzation here concerning the action OF the dele
gates at Chicago. and after they have been in
structed, his friends say. it is not at all proba-
BILE that the Governor will say do anything
that would prevent the delegates from carrying
out the instructions from the various districts.

DROP FRAUD CHARGES
Do7chng Denies Motion Made by
E.r-4lderman Freeman.

Ex-Alderman Clarence r. Freeman yesterday in
an application Justice Dowling FOR a peremptory
writ of mandamus TO compel the Board or EIec-
tions TO recanvass the primary election returns
of all the districts in the 18th Congress District
charged the Parsons men with coercion of voters
and gross irregularities. Late yesterday afternoon
Justice Dowlng denied the notion with SO costs,
and vacated the stay
Justice Bowling was also asked to grant stay
restraining all proceedings by the Board of Elec-
tions and the county committee with reference 10
the certifcation of delegates and that the holding
Of conventions of such delegates should be stayed
until the votes were recanvassed ana the o'llF
elected delegates duly certified by law.
Mr. Freeman submitted affidavit. IN which he
stated that he was OF the Candidates for cleo
ton q delegate to the Republican Consresslohai
convention for the 18th Congress District, and was
also chairman of campaign committee wh'ch
submitted TO the voters ballot containing the
delegates to be elected from the I'm l5'n
14th and 18th Congress districts, parts of wlhcr
districts are included the 18th Assembly DISTRICT
The ticket also contained the names OF delegates
to he elected to the Republican Assembly district
convention.
This ballot, Mr.. Freeman set forth. was prlnted
in accordance with the provisions of the primary
election law. and there also printed baIiot
by the so-caled Republican organization OF the
district a different ballot which was so printed
that when folded. the names of some OF the dele
gates could be plainly deciphered through the out
side or back of the ballot. thereby afordlng an
opportunity inspectors of election and others 10
identify said ballots at glance"
This ballot was headed by John Henry Hammond
the Republican Ieade. of the district, whose name
was displayed in heavy type above the names OF
other candidates printed in smaller type IN 'he
18th Congress District the name OF howard Cohh-
ling was similarly displayed. The use OF TINS
heavy faced large capital type was, the afhant al
lesed intended to identify aid in identifying
these ballots.
Mr. Freeman then alleged that these ballots were
so nrinted TO intimidate a large number of voters
employed in federal offices, who enjoy certain
privileges or rights under the federal government.
or who hold certain places under the Civil Service,
or voters connected by family relations with such
voters

mand for his nomination that he consented to

These conditions have not changed in the slight

for his alleged withdrawal from the race
Vigorous efforts which some OF the Hughes
men attribute to supporters Of other candidates
and lukewarn2 Hughes men in this state are
being made to create the impression that Cover
nor Hughes would make a good running mate
for Secretary Taft and that his nomination tor
second place is likely. The Governors political
associates admit that he would make an excellent
Nice-Presdcnt. but say he will be one. The
Governor viii not discuss stories II Is said
among his friends that he never would consider
second place for moment. and if he were norni-
