would be objection to 1t. also knew
It would be a fact that no bill could De
drafted which would suit everybody,
and I am not, therefore, trying to DO
that, but 1 am trying to carry out the
pledges I made in the recent primary
on every stump In the county. agreed
to two things-the working OF our
roads upon the township supervisor
plan, each township to receive its own
money, and the using Of the chaingang
in repairing or constructing two main
highways through the county first, and
then the use of the chaingang In those
townships through which the main
highways did not pass, until each had
received a just proportion OF It's ben
efits. That is what the bill / have
passed in the senate does, though some
people think differently. The objection
to my bill is based upon the assumption
that the chaingang will be for q long
time used upon the main highways, but
anyone at all familiar with the public
highways must know that this work,
IL kept going continuously, can be done
in less than two years, why, then,
should Fort Mill, Bullock's Creek and
Bethel townships do any kicking? Is
It not a fact that these three townships
Of our county are the ones which In
the last two or three years have had
the principal benefit Of the chaingang?
Is this not especially true Of Fort MIL
township? Therefore. why the kick
ing? The chaingang has been shift
ed here and there through the county
for the last ten or twelve year (some
say for political purposes) with the
consequent result that we have not ten
miles Of continuous good roads. But
II the chaingang Is required to repair
e two main highways through the
county, we will soon begin to see some
lasting benefit to all our people-some,
of course, receiving this benefit to a
greater degree than others, which can
not be helped. I was little surprised
at Mr.. q. T. Bales idea, expressed In
your last issue, that we could build
good roads without money, under the
old system Of "all work and no pay"
I thought he lived near enough to the
good roads Of Mecklenburg county and
travelled them often enough to know
that good roads cost money, and much
Of 1t. I believe that bad roads are
even more expensive-hence I am try
ing to give our people law to spend
the money which they have paid into
the county fund in their own town
ships and under their own supervision.
I did not put the 20 per cent increase
in taxation on our people, but as 1t is
there, I wish it wisely and judiciously
expended. and In my Judgment that
can only be done by the township SUI
pervisor plan."

Chester special of February IL, to
News and Courier: One of the most
helpful meetings held by the Chester
County Farmers Union since its or
ganization was that held at the court
house Tuesday morning. There were
number of farmers present, repre-
senting the majority Of the local Un-
ions throughout the county. After the
business on hand had been disposed of,
the meeting got down to a discussion
of several vital subjects that affect the
farming and business interests of this
section of the country today as few
other subjects do. The first topic dis
cussed was reduction of cotton acre
age. Those present were agreed that
reduction should be brought about and
from the sentiment expressed on the
occasion it appears that Chester far
mers will do their part in a movement
looking to this end. Other subjects
discussed were an increase Of cereal
products. curtailment Of fertilizers
and an increase in hOme-raised live
stock. The UniCn is thoroughly agreed
on the necessity and Importance of in
stituting the various reforms indicated
by these several topics and good re-
suits are likely to follow.

THE senate has killed the bill pro-
yiding for the investigation Of county
dispensaries, on the ground that 1t has
not been made to appear that such an
investigation is necessary. AS to what
the facts are, we have no information;
but we suspect that If the authors OF
the bill will make diligent inquiry af-
ter the adjournment of the general as
sembly, they will be able at its next
session to show at least, some justifi-
cation for such an investigation.

THE general assembly Is still II
practical deadlock because Of the pro-
hibition-local option filibuster. The
prohibition forces are in the majority
in the house; but the local option
people are strong enough to prevent
final consideration of their statewide
bill. Although leaders on both sides
are declaring their ability to remain
in session indefinitely, the forty days
to which pay applies expire next week

ton on the state wide question.

NEW HOPE FOR DOPE FIENDS
Speedy Remedy for Alcoholism and
Drug Habit In
New York

The announcement made by DR.. Alex
ander Lambert Of 80 East Thirty-first
street, New York, visiting physician at
Bellevue hospital. and professor Of clinical
medicine at the Cornell Medical college,
that he has at least discovered a speedy cure
for the drug habit and alcoholism has
aroused much public interest. Men OF his
profession are particularly interested.
The fact that DR.. Lambert is a physician
of high repute and a recognized authority
In the matter Of specifics lends credence to
his contention that the most confirmed drug
flends are not beyond cure.
THE obliteration of the craving for mar
cotics is not a matter Of months or weeks"
says DR.. Lambert, but Is accomplished in
less than five days. The result is often
so dramatic that one hesitates to believe
It possible"
The physician says he obtained the spe~
ciflc about five years ago from Charles B.
Towns Of 1Is West Eighty-flrst street, who
spent some years in China studying opium
cases among the hospitals, there. Since
that time he has been experimenting with
1t extensively in his practice at Bellevue.
Here is the specific:
Fifteen per cent tincture of ~bsliadonna,
NHo 10 NAA0Sb Va AeutuO4g iuHl NpTiCkiy
ASH, and the fluid extract OF ~hyoscyamus,
mixed in the certain proportions.
The cure, according to Dr.. Lambert can
be effected with a minimum Of suffering,
and no matter how long the patient has
been addicted to the habit, or In what
quantities he has been accustomed to take
drugs, he will be placed In the same atti-
tude toward them as before he fell into
the habit. His health will be In no way
impaired by the treatment, or the depriva-
ton Of the drug; on the contrary, a physi-
illogical chang comes about whereby, all
desire being eliminated, se~lf-confidence is
restored to the patient, and his system ad-
justed to do without 1t. :
DR.. lambert says, however, that he has
no intention to call the specific IAN in
fallible cure.'' He says:
This treatment is not a cuFe-all for dis
ease, a Rehabilitation OF all the disturbed
functions OF the body"
As to the method Of treatment, as DR..
Lambert explains II, after employing 1t in
Bellevue In the case of twenty-eight pa
TENTS, all of whom he cured, It begins in
the usual way OF getting the patient into
roper physical condition. Then, In cases
Of cocaine or morphine, the specific is ad-
ministered in certain proportions and guam
titles, depending largely on the individual,
every hour throughout the treatment. But
after six hours the specific is Increased
