Secretary Knox For Good Roads.

Secretary Knox believes that the
congestion of population in great cities
is caused in large part by the lack Of
good roads in this country. He told
the house committee on foreign affairs
that the reason France is the richest
agricultural country in the world is
because she has had good roads so
long. He said: 1.-THE agricultural pop
ulation Of France does not have to
spend its money in repairing vehicles
and their harness every winter.
think it has improved the attractive
ness Of rural life. think it has caus-
ed the population to remain on the
soil more than in any other country
You do not find that tendency to urban
population in France and England that
you do in this country"

TAFT FAvORS STATE ROADS.
Chief Executive Thinks the Highway
Question Not a National Matter.

~Her Executive thinks the HIGHWAY
Question Not National Matter.
National aid for permanent roads,
system Of national highways connect.
ing the capital Of the various states
and Of stat highways connecting the
various county seats, use of federal
prisoners for building roads and the
establishment Of roadmaking on
strictly business basis are some of the
suggestions made at the good roads
convention.
A letter from President Taft de-
clared against national aid to any
great extent The president says:
My own view of the good roads
question is that it is chiefly a state
function and that all the states ought
to unite in an effort to promote good
roads. do not think that the farmers
are as much interested in the matter
as they ought to be.
Next to education. the system Of
good roads is the greatest civilizer."

Good roads associations are bein.

Use Of a DRAG on eraveIIx Roads.

In soils full of loose stones or even
small powders the drag has done
good service. The loose stones are
drawn into a windrow down the CEN
ter Of the road, while the earth is de-
posted around the powders in such
a way that the surface is leyeled
The loose stones In the center of the
road should Of course be removed
Where there is large proportion OF
small stones or gravel the drag will
keep dow the inequalities in the sur
face.

shows an overdraw of $3.50. go, due by the

parish to the Commercial National
Bank. In addition to your overdraw,
there is an outstanding warrant amount
ing to s., which has not been presented
for payment, making the total indebt-
edness of the parish to date S753.6O.
At the close of business on the 31st of
March the parish was entirely out of
debt, but warrants since issued were
paid and are included in this report.
In submitting this report, as matter
of general information, | would say that
my report for April. 1905, showed that
the parish was out of debt and had a
balance on hand of $3970.21. On April,
1905, the Indebtedness or overdraw due
the bank was $657O.04; April, 1907,
$2966. 10; April, 1908, $6O12.78, and on
April, 1903, $7O62.6O.
This shows that since April, 1909,
Bossier Parish has not only paid all her
current expenses for the year, but has
also paid a back indebtedness of
$7,002.6O, which is certainly matter OF
congratulation for the creditable and in
telligent management of the financial
affairs of the parish by your vigilant
body. Respectfully,

Candidate for Treasurer

! To the People of Georgia:
hereby announce my candidacy for
the Office of State Treasurer, subject to
the Democratic white primary of 1910,
to be held on date to be selected by
/ the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee.
| In making this announcement, |
/ feel that it is appropriate for me to say
that my service for seven years in both
branches OF the Georgia Legislature,
/ during which time many of the present
laws relating to banks and banking
we're enacted, and my service at the
same time on the House Com
mittee on banks and banking, by
which these laws were considered, has
given me clear insight into the Geor-
gle laws concerning. banking and fl
nance
In addition to the foregoing expert
ence, | have been, for fifteen years,
president of the Elberton Loan & Saw
ings Bank, in which capacity l may
say have gained wide practical ex-
perience concerning the operation of
these laws; and, as result of which,
l am in position to recommend GER
tain improvements in the present laws
which will better safeguard the inter.
terests of the depositors in Georgia's
state banks.
If elected to this important position,
shall give my every effort to the
faithful discharge of its duties, to as
sist me in which | shall secure the
services of trained, expert and capable
assistants.
respectfully request the favorable
consideration of the Democratic voters
of the State.

ORGANIZE FOR BUSINESS.

We wish to suggest to those who have
the welfare of Marietta at heart that
there is an urgent need for the organi-
cation of Business Mems Association
to take hold of the opportunities that are
in reach and to boost the town
We need not point out to our own peo-
pie the advantages of the city and of
Cobb county. They may not be fully
appreciated here at home, for many
do not know how far our natural bless
ings exceed those of other counties of
the State. but we all know enough to
understand that values in this county
can be enormously enhanced by attract.
ing investment from the outside. Any
man who will go to Atlanta and see how
that city is growing, will understand
that we can get great benefit from the
development going on there and which
will touch all enterprising points for
great distance in every direction We
should get our share.
We need for one thing a large hotel
and an increased number of smaller
hotels, for Marietta is both winter and
summer resort. With our elevation and
climate we can draw people from the
southern sections in summer and from
the North and West in winter Such peo-
pie are generally well-to-do and it would
not be difficult to get from their num-
Der many permanent citizens and in
vestors in local enterprises, We need
to organize our boosters.
If fifty or a hundred men, the mel
who constitute the back bone of our bus
mess and manufacturing, would come
together in the Armory and organize
live, working Business Mems Associa
ton, to push Marietta and Cobb county
to go after and get what is our due, t.
bring more people and more money t
the city and county, to stand solidl
together for business and to unite tn
town for something worth while,
would be of untold benefit.
We make the suggestion with yer
great earnestness and hope to see it tax
definite shape before the summer i
over.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed Local remedies, and by constantly
failing TO cure with local treatment,
pronounced it iacurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by +. J. Cheney 81 CO.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
