 Are Elected.

Livingston. April S.-(Specialo - John W. Tomlinson of Birmingham addressed the voters of Sumter coun- ty in the courthouse here today at II o'clock. being introduced by T. F. Scale. chairman of the democratic coun- ty executive committee.
 Colonel Tomlinson carired this coun- ty for governor eight years ago, anu is quite popular in Sumter
 He showed that a democratic VIC tory in the nation would be benehcia' to the south in that it would remove the cloud of the race question; prevent the cutting off of south ern representa- tion in Congress; enable us to get more government funds for our rivers. har- DOTS and roads. and make sure the completion of the Panama canal.
 Unity of purposes and of factions was essential to success He appealed to Conner and anti-Comer mem to Rankhead and I1obson followers. to those for, and against Bryan to al to join hands for victory
 He said he never undertook to dictate the officers of the Bryan club, believing each county should decide that ques- ton, and that any criticism of any lac ton as officers slated was unjust. The Bryan clubs are organized solely in the interest of national democracy.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Tomlin- son's speech q Bryan club was organ ized, the election of officers put in nomination resulting as follows:

STATE NEEDS UNIFORM AND
 DEFINITE SYSTEM OF WORK
c. w. L. Smith Opposes Bond is- sues, But Wants Competent
 Engineers in Charge.
BY pR. W. A. LOVETT.

Brewton, April 3.-(Special.) .)-Your correspondent interviewed Hon. c. w. l.. Smith today as to his views on the subject of better roads in the state. MT. Smith said in part:
 ."The difficulty is not in the want of interest in good roads, nor for a lack of desire for them by the people. The difficulty lies in procuring them. There are only two ways suggested for build ing good roads in this state; first by the action of individual counties, and the other is the action of counties aided by the federal government.
 My own opinion is that all money expended for good roads will be largely wasted until the state of Alabama. by some uniform and definite system under takes the maintenance and supervision of roads. The knowledge of road build

ing in this state is very limited, and in order to secure the right kind of roads there should be established a board Of engineers who should be commissioned by the state, and who shall supervise and direct the road building done in the sev- era1 counties.
 .I do not believe in issuing bonds for road building nor do I think our pres ent methods are the best for road con struction, but I believe a good road sys- tenn in each county can be provided by placing road machinery and labor under the control of a competent engineer or other person, who shall have at his dis posal the convicts of that county, and the labor for ten days in each year of all le-bodied persons in each county, as now provided by law. With these and a moderate appropriation each year by the state and county, the basis of good road system can be begun. My observa- ton has been that a bond issue for good roads ends in disappointment, for the reason that the roads after being con- structed soon wash away, and the in- terest on the bonds is so great each year that nothing is levied to maintain these roads; whereas, if the same amount of money which Is used for interest on the bonds was appropriated each year for the establishing of good roads, in the course of a few years the county would have good roads and no bonded indebted ness.
 ..There should be a national commission of post roads in the United States, and when a state or county has decided to inaugurate a system of good roads this national commission should make such recommendations and suggestions as would insure the assistance and co-oper- ation of the federal government in es- tablishing the post roads and mail routes which pass through the counties which have levied a road tax. If county deems it wise to issue bonds to build roads in that event it should go further and make provision for maintaining them either by the toll road system or other
