As Madison IS rapidly becom
ing an automobile center for
the benefit of those persons who
are so fortunate as to own one
'of the things. We copy this from
the Albany, Ga . Herald: "Some
people who drive automobiles
want to get the idea ont of their
heads that all they have to do
is to honk, honk. and that
everything and everybody must
get out of their way right noWr
regardless. Automobiles have
no superior rights over otheG
vehicles 90 the public highways,
aud when an automobile meets
or overtakes a vehicle at a place
in the road where it is not safe
or convenient for the latter to-
turn out 70, one side, the machine
should be slowed down or stop
ped until safe aud conpenient
passage $an be made" We be-
.lieve our automobile drivers are
all right in every particular,
and that they do not ever ar
rogate. to themselves all the
rights OF the road, but we print
this just by way of suggestion
to keep. them right.

ment of a competent engineer Of
some enc who has had some ezpTi.
ence in road building.
One of the vexed and most seroul
questions always in road building d
that of labor. Unquestionably Tie
easiest solution to this problem D
convict labor, for every eouIS u
more or less conyicts in their jail
serving short terms for crime. M
them do this road work, holding ths
plows, the scrapes, swinging tb
picks, handling shOvels and rolling
the wheelbarTOws. In road buili'
ing it does not require skilled
labor but muscle, and the convict
has that. The old way in rosd
building is sn OVerseer is appointed
who summons all those subject TO
road work and who scratch little
with a hoe, the hands Summoned
.piddle along throwing a 'ttle dit
here and there feeling that il is only
IA road and any pretense will ansVsi'
but not 50 with the convict, ucan
make him work and do it well u
that way you can have good ro,d''
The money needed? Well the ciu-
zens ought to go downin their po'I'
cts and dig it up,in fact there ought
to be a road tax to build goOl
roads.
Money spent in building g00a
roads is the best money a man cA'
part with. He gets more value T.
ceived for - dollar than in any oIna
commodity a dollar ever went D'.
Vote for the money to build e0Ol
roads, hire a competent man WHO
knows how TO build good roads n'A'
your county convicts work and 'l''

Our merchants and business
men generally are complaining
Of dull times, and certain it is
that the times are very duh,
We can testify to that fact by
simply examining our advertis-
ing columns. Look over them
yourself and see if our evidence
is not conclusive. Now, Mr..
Merchant, would you have a
revival of business in Madisoni
We can tell you how to bring it
about. Use more space in your
county paper. As the matter
stands now only one or two of
our merchants are advertising
aud they are getting the bulk
of the business. You who are
not advertising depend up o n
catching a small amount of
trade by word of mouth, but you
will find that this wont do. The
man who has money to spend
for necessities and Injuries con-
suits bis paper to learn who
keeps the things he wants aud
the prices asked for them, and
nine out of ten hunt that store
whose attractions are printed in
his paper. Get wise ard adyer-

Good Roads.

No question Of late has taken a
stronger hold upon the minds Of the
Ioltizers of our sister State, Georgia,
than that of road building and seem
ingly with a strong determination on
their part TO perfect the public road
system.
Now, If the citizens Of our beauti-
full State, the land of Flowers,
would Join hand 10 hand with Geor-
gIa, and Vet tue whole trend OF pub
lie sentiment be for progress, good
hard public roads,, and development
in every material thing-and there is
no longer step-nO sarer effort in
thls direction than the construction

roads.
If tha travelling publie, and es-
pecially the producers. of our land ,
would only stop and think a few
minutes and count the wear and tear
of vebloiles, harness, the strain and
injury Of teams, the delay in many
ways, tLey would soon see that the

But there must be s. system about
everything to insure success, and
there are numeaous, proven and tried
systems for good road construction
adapted to the character Of the coun.
ty wherein ths roads are to be con-
structed, the facilities Of obtaiLing
material, and the kind Of material to
be used, whether rolling timbered
or a level plain region. Oaly a evil

thoroughly and knows how to apply
them, how to evolve new system,

ASKING TOO MUCH.

Adiutant General w. E. Mickle, referring
to the annual reunion of the United Con-
federate Veterans at Memphis on June 9th,
9th and 10th, next, declares the Sons OF
Veterans are asking too much from the
Confederate Veterans. He says:
Gin speaking of the expense attached
to reunions, want to say that in my opln-
ion the Sons of Veterans are demanding
great deal more for their organizations
than they should. | believe that the Sons
ought to help entertain the Veterans in
stead of asking the Veterans to donate to
them. heartily approve of the organiza-
ton, but they are costing the reunion COM
mittees too much, and it ought to be elimi-
mated to an extent
Adjutant General Nickel deserves the
thanks of all Confederate Veterans for the
admirable position he has taken in this
important matter. His words are pointed
and true, and should meet with the hearty
endorsement of the Camps Of the organi-
cation throughout the South. Let the
Sons pay their own expenses. They are
indeed asking too much from the Vete-
rams.
Furthermore, all Confederate Veteran
Reunions should be in reality what the
association stands for. The leading fea-
ture should be the attention given Veterans
themselves. All others should be given
secondary consideration. While the men
who wore the gray are generally modest
and unpretentious, and do not expect much,
the first consideration should be in their
behalf. ''The men behind the guns, .
who made glorious Confederate history in
the immortal sixties, occupied position
at ''the 'front.' and although now advanced
in age and infirm in step, they do not take
kindly to being relegated to the rear in the
interest of any one.
Overshadowing, eclipsing or handicap
ping the Men in Gray at Confederate Re-
union renders it as meaningless as the
play of Hamlet with the characterof Hamlet
omitted.
