The ambassadorship to Italy would be

about as far, they say, az they can 20.
1t has been semi -authoritatively an

GOOD ROADS.

That the farmers of Hamilton
county are alive to the benefits
to be derived from the construc-
ton of hard roads is evidenced
by the following from The Jasper
News:
The farmers Of this county
are becoming interested in good
roads. AS evidence of this state
nent, at the last session of our
board of county commissioners
a proposition was presented to
that body, signed by fifty farm
ers residing north and east of
Jasper, that if the commission
ers would furnish the rock thew
would meet every Saturday and
maui 1t out on the roads.
"This means fifty wagons haul
ing rock every Saturday aud this
would soon make good reads for
several miles east of Jasper. 1t
would do away with those terri
bic sand beds which extend
two or three miles from town,
and the material being rock it
would be a permanent work.
"This rock, which is just such
as the streets of Live Oak. New
berry and other towns are paw.
ed with, can be purchased for 65
or 70 cents a ton delivered here
in Jasper. Thus it will be seen
that these farmers propose to
pay with their teams and labor
about three fourths of the ex.
penses of building these good
roads.
This proposition our county
commissioners will accept be-
1ond the shadow of doubt. In
act they cannot afford to do
otherwise, because it is d duty
.ney owe to these tax payers
who so nobly propose to bear
~ far the larger part of the ex-
)ense.
"But our county commission I

actions in the past have demon
strated their public spirit and
their desire to have good roads
built.
1--WE complain of our taxes,
and justly, too, tor they are high
err than in the days of carpet
bag reconstruction, but burden
some as our State and county
taxes are they are not to be
compared to the tax levied by
bad roads. Where the Saul of
State aud county taxation has
slain its thousands, the David
of bad roads has slain it's ten
thousands.
These public spirited farm
ers, who thus propose to donate
their labor, are to be commend
ed; their noble example emulat-
ed, and their proposition ac-
cepted."

Don't be alarmed about this
new tangled disease calle d
Pellagra. We doubt not but
that it is fully as ancient as
appendicitis which was the med
ical or surgical fad a few years
ago. Possibly there have been
many cases of it right in our
neighborhood during the past
hundred years, but it hadn t
then been discovered by modern
doctors. The present scare will
last until some other old FASH
Toned disease will have been
resurrected from "musty medi-
cal tome" by the doctors and
thrust into public view under a
new name.

The following from the Starke
Telegraph is as true DIS gospel
and the merchants and business
men Of Madison who will act
upon the suggestions will find
it so. The Telegraph says; The
trade territory of a town is not
all dependent upon the distance
to neighboring trading points,
The trade territory depends up
on the enterprise of the mer
chants and residents Of the
town. If town doesn't reach
after the trade it will come on
ly as fast as it has to; but if the
merchants 60 after business in
the surrounding country, adver-
tislng in every possible way, and
make good every word of their
advertising, trade will come
from an ever increasing radius;
the town will gain reputation
for being awake and it will
forge to the front. 1t is the
men in the town and not alto
gether the men living within a
number of miles from it that
make the town what 1t is"

Every progressive, enterpris-

considerable space In it's November
number to an article by Judson Har-

the new tariff bin and other alleged
political iniquities.
Governor Harmon was the principal
speaker on Democratic day, at the
Texas state fair at Dallas, Oct. is, and
his address there, taken In connection
with his article in Chairman Mack's

committee has deposed Bryan as a.
presidential possibility. and is now en-
gagged in grooming Governor Harmon
for the nomination in 1919.
