How Township Government Would
Help the South.
Clarence Poe in Progressive Farmer.

Clarence Poe in Progressive Farmer,
How much further advanced our
whole Southland would be if we had
had township meetings at least once
year, gathering all the people to-
gether to discuss roads and schools
and taxes, and health matters and
public improvements, etc, etc., and
everything looking to public prog
ress and the public welfare. This is
what New England has done for gen.
erations, and her material progress
is largely due to it; this is what the
South has not done, and our back
wardness is partly due to our not
having done it.
Once a year there is the regular
annual town meeting" in each rural
township or civil district in Massa-
chusetts: that is to say, all the voters
of the town or civil district meet to-
gether and all the business Of the
township or district is arranged for.
The township school committee is
elected; selectmen whose duties for
the township correspond to those of
county commissioners for the county
are chosen they transact all the gen.
eral legislative business for the town.
ship. Assessors are named. Certain
other citizens are named as overseers
Of the poor. Other men are named
as road commissioners. Other men
compose the board Of health, or the
duties Of this board may be left to
the selectmen. Registrars are elect
ed by the same meeting. Numerous
other smaller positions are filled so
that some man of the township is
designated for nearly every public
duty: for instance, one man is named
as fence viewer" and instead of
two farmers having an expensive
lawsuit about a line fence, this man
judges the matter and settles it once
for all.
Not only are all these officers nam
ed for the routine work Of the town.
ship, but any question bearing upon
the public welfare Of the community
may be brought up and settled. This
meeting has entire authority as to
what the expenditures and the tax
rate of the township shall be; it de-
bates and decides upon the public
Improvements; it decides what road
Improvements shall be made, ETC.,
etc. II any new matter comes up or
new interest develops in some old
subject, a certain percentage Of the
voters may call another meeting,
provided the selectmen and regular
officers do not handle it satisfactorily.

MAXIMS MAXIM.

Modest Claims Often Carry More
Conviction Than Loud Boasts.
When Maxim, the famous invent
or placed his gun before a commit
tee of judges, he stated it's carrying
power to be considerably below what
he felt sure the gun would accom-
plish. The result of the trial was
therefore a triumph of surprise in
stead of disappointment as it might
have been if he had overstimated
his guns efficiency.
Our claim regarding Newbro's
Herpicide is based on actual scienti-
