Confederates Defend Grant.

Birmingham, Ala, June lore
Elections on the character of General
Grant, made by Secretary Taft in his
Memorial day speech at Grants
Tomb, New York, have put thatpres-
idential aspirant Gin bad" with many
Confederate veterans. ''Untimely"
and ''ill-advised" are among the
characterizations OF Taft's speech by
leading members of the United Con-
federate Veterans, who are in Bir-
mingham to-day at the general en-
campment. Among majority OF
the boys in gray there is a great re-
spect for the memory Of General
Grant, and the statements of Secre-
tary Taft do not meet with the favor
of the men who SO often saw their
victories turned into defeats through
the military strategy OF the short,
calm, implacable leader OF the Union
armies.

ent localities, however, that 1T is
quite impossible to lay down any
specific rules Certain sections OF a
roadway will require more attention
than others, because OF steep grades,
wet weather springs, soil conditions,
exposure to sun and wind, washes.
etc. There is one condition, however,
in which special attention should be
given. Clay roads under persistent
draggings frequently become too
high in the center. This may be cor
rected by dragging the earth towards
the center of the road twice and away
from it once.
There is no question rs to the
economy of this roadmaking imple-
ment. either i'm first cost or III opera
ton. In six counties Ill Kansas IN
1896 the cost OF maintaining ordln-
arv earth roads, without the aid OF
the split-log drag, averaged S42. oO
a mile. These figures were furnished
BY Prof. W. C. Hoad of the Univer-
sjtv of Kansas who secured them from
the official records OF the counties.
Some figures furnished by +. Z.
Sanborn and r. ii. Ashton, general
manager Of Chicago and Northwest
ern railroad. have revealed the won
ders of this simple device. Mr..
Sanborn said: "The least expense
per mile per annum for split-log drag
ging was 81 80, the greatest a little
over So, and the average expense per
mile for 5A miles II little over $3. l
have lived alongthls read all my life
and never in 40 years have | seen it
freer from mud and dust, despite the
fact that Turing the season we have
experienced the extremes OF weather

The testimony of Mr.. Ashton is
equally strong. learning that a
township in Iowa had been making
an Investigation of the split-log drag
! and had been experimenting for a
year on % miles Of highway, he sent
an agent to secure information. 1t
was reported that although the town
board had paid the cost OF making
the drags and OF hiring men to oper
ate them, the tota! expense for one
wear averaged but - 40 ii mile, and
then roads were reported to have
been "like a race track the greater
portion Of the year.

Nature has provided the stomach with
certain natural fluids known as the digestive
juices, and it is through these juices that the
food we eat is acted upon in such a way as
to produce the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins OF our body and thereby
makes Us strong. healthy and robust, and it
Is the weakening of these digestive Juices
That destroys health. 1t is Our own fault if
We destroy our own health, and yet it is so
easy Tor any one to put the stomach out of
order. When you need to take something
take 1t promptly, but take something you
know is reliable-something like Kodol For
Dyspepsia and Indigestion. Lodol is pleas
ant to take, it is reliable and is guaranteed
to give relief. 1t is sold at Parker's Two

THE Georgia Lesson. -
Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald.

Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald.
The good sense of the people. who
tire of shams, asserted itself and
Georgia demagogy was routed.
Joseph M. Brown, Little Joe. as he
is called, defeated Hoke Smith for
Governor. In 1906 Mr.. Smith was
elected Governor by a landslide ma
iority. He stood for all the extremes
that so-called reformers in other
Southern States advocated. Two
years ago Georgians were swept of
their feet by demagogic talk, while
appeals of thoughtful, conservative
men where whistled down the wind.
Railroad reform was the campaign
slogan-two years agO-and when
Smith won on his populistic plat
form, Georgia got backset which
was felt from one end of the State to
the other. The railroads were Grip
pied, capital was withheld, and bust
ness in general was seriously affected.
Georgia, which had once occupied a
commanding position as progress
sive. wealth-producing common
wealth, came to be known as a re-
form .run-mad State and good
State for capital to avoid. The result
of the primary will change all this.
The pendulum swings back. Sane
policies win. Georgia comes again
to its own.
Business throughout the country
has been improving gradually, and
the effect of the Georgia vote will
prove most helpful all along the line
in restoring confidence and in speed
ing a return of prosperity.
Governor Smith is a man OF capac-
ity and experience in public affairs,
but he jumped into the band wagon
and after the manner of the weak
politician, prostituted his influence
| and brought distress to the honest
but deluded masses.
A cheer for~Brown will go up in
every Southern State where radical
ism had got a footing. A brighter
day is dawning from the Potomac te
the Gulf The lesson in Georgia vii
not be forgotten.

The Constitutionality Of the Law
Fairbrother's Everything.

-
Word was sent from Durham and
published in the North Carolina press
that there was great deal Of talk
among anti-prohibitiOn leaders over
the cOnstitntionality of the law re-
Gently voted on, and that in short
time the matter would be tested.
We do not know anything about
the constitutlonality of the law; We
know nothing of the intentions Of
the snti-prohibitionists, bnt were we
going to give an opinion it would be
that there will be nothing doing along
that line. The fact that the bill was
carried by large majority of prohi-
bitionists; the further fact that
thousands of wet men did not voteis
conclusive evidence that the fight is
on. and it will be finished at the
polls.
The bill was wOrded so that many
men would not vote wet who thought
wet. so they remained at home and
the scheme is to carry the question
to the polls 1t will be an easy mat
ter to elect a wet legislature within IL
short timc-two Years from this fall
at the farthest, and when that is
done then your Watts law and the
last law will be lifted from the books
and North Carolina will have legal
lied saloons. That has been the
history since the world began, and
North Carolina people are no eXcep-
ton to the general rule The stay-at-
home vote is what puts the long face
on the prohibition Democrats. They
know the question isn't settled and
twO-thirds of the party leaders said
before election that tie measure was
ill-timed and now they know it.
1t would be all fOOlishness to con
test the question. The ma iority got
what it wanted, and the next &c
around another majority will get
what it wants. To test the matter
in the courts setting up the question
of constitutionality would make
friends for the people who drew the
bill. Leave it alone and let the fight
be taken to the polls. 1t will give Us
something to talk about. 1t only
cost the State fifty or seventy-five
| Thousand dollars to vote the three
towns dry that wanted to vote them
selves dry; when prohibition is being
agitated you can't hear anything
about trusts and railroads, SO it is q
