Good Roads.

The citizens Of our county have
waited patiently for the meeting of
our new board Of County Commits
sioners believing nat tn ey
would begin the Good roads work
again, but il seems that we are dis
appointed. How can this opposition
to such needed improvement be eX'
plained' 1t is easy. With Madison
ald the court house in the center,
GreenviIle near the western border
Of the county, Lovette in the North
west, Pinetta and Hanson in the
Northeast Lee, Ellaville and West
farm in the eastern portion, it is
very natural for the people in those
towns and the vicinity o. them to
want all the gocd roads leading to
their OWE town, and Madison with
the court house and in the center,
very naturally claims that all the
roads should point towards the CEN
ter So, inasmuch as we can't
all bave the good roads first, we
will not have them at all,
With this condition OF affairs con.
fronting US we will never get a
board Of County Commissioners who
are a unit on road building. What
is the remedS7 L see only one: The
sub district plan. Let each section
divide into scb road districts, levy
and collect their own taxes and
build their own roads and then we
will try to outrival each other 10
the good work.
/ heer one mall say: But oul
district does not want TO build roads
for people of other districts to drive
over. " Brother that is a mistake.
That is just what we do want. We
people 10 the Madison district want
to build fine roads and invite moi
only the people Of the neigbborng
districts but the people Of adjoining
counties to ride over them and see
our fine farms and pay US fancy
price for what lands we wish tc
sell. Our merchants will take great
pleasure in showing their goods
and wrapping them up for you.

Ugly Rumor Unfounded.

last week an ugly rumor was
.ir.nlated in Madison to the effect
that Rev. Burke Culpepper--who
conducted a great revival meeting in
,bs Methodist church here last sum
osr-bad "shot at man in a con.
grepation and killed woman" The
Mace where this awful tragedy was
,reoed to have occurred was stated
q, some town in Georgia. D." The
editor Of this paper upon hearing
be rumor directed a letter to Mr..
Culpepper at his home in Valdosta.
The letter was forwarded to Suther-
land, Fla, where he conducted a
meeting last week and an answer
was received Sunday in which Mr..
Cnlpepper wrote: "Your letter was
the first / had heard Of the awful
tragedy. am glad it occurred in
some Ananias mind instead of my
Me." Thus is the ugly and SEEM
ingly malicious report proven un-
founded.
The iumor seems TO have been
circulated l.: other parts OF the State
slso as the following from the Tai,
lobassee True Democrat of last week
will show:
"Some person with gross malice
or criminal thoughlessness started
the rumor in Tallahassee last week
that Rev. Burke Culpepper, who
assisted bis father in a great revival
here in November, had shot at a
man and killed a woman. The ru-
NOR spread rapidly and was soou
the subject of conversation, on the
streets and in every house.
"Rev. |. S Patterson, the pastor
Of Trinity church, placed no cred
eOce in the rumor, but in order to
quiet it, wrote to his father, Rev.
John B. Culpepper, for a denial or
confirmation.
"Mr. Culpepper replied in this
Characteristic way:
"'The man who Burke shot at he
certainly missed, and the woman he
killed is still alive. Absolutely no
foundation fol the rumor, not even
aquarrel.
"Professed christians and so.called
members Of the gospel have been
conspicuous in circulating this ru-
NOR. They should now be more
busy in denying it,"

Secretary Wilson says zone Of the
objects OF the law is to inform the con-

quires that the amount Of chloroform,

ing drugs be stated on the label Of

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy have al
ways claimed that their remedy did not
contain any OF these drugs, and the
truth Of this claim is now fully proven
as no mention Of them is made on the
