ing, but then it is to be hoped that
they will make a better success of ma
cadamizing than they have of that sec
tion of Commerce street already done.
Considerably over $1,000 of the
towns money has already been spent
and in as much that so much money is
involved, we agree with certain
members of the Council that 1t
would be wise and expedient to have
an expert road builder come to

While Milford on the one : hand is
pleased at the thought of entertaining
the next Wilmington M. E. Conference,
the Milford Chronicle, its only town
paper, points thus early to the fact
that there are "three large hotels in
the town and the ministers will find
ample accommodations. 1t further
says: "There is no reason why the
people should entertain them free,
and good women stay at home to do
cooking and other drudging, that they
may save a few dollars. Milford
will welcome all visitors as they
should be welcomed; but school
teachers are compelled to pay theil
footing, and as they get much less
salary than preachers, we fail to see
why the preacher should be especially
favored; of the two, the teache

SUBSTITUTE MEASURE
WILL BE INTRODUCED

Guthrie, Jan. 10-An entirely new
prohibition measure is being prepar-
ed as compromise between the two
two extremes that exhibited them
selves in discussion Of tne Billups
bill. The measure provides that liq-
uor may be sold at drug stores under
provision Of regulations made by the
state. It eliminates the dispensary
and enforcement commission features.
It's chief benefit seems to lie in the
fact that drug stores being numerous
would be more available in cases Of
necessity than county seat dispensar-
les. The bill will be introduced Sat
urday in the house.
