Recognizing the fact that the yigor of the state lies in It's in dustrial vitality, and that the great arteries through which the life blood of the commonwealth must course are it's great highways. I believe it to be our bounden duty that we labor to- ward having the great thoroughfares of the people built in the healthiest man. her possible.
 By having a permanent anG thorough construction of roads dis tance will be shortened; time will no longer be measured by hours. The time of travel will be lessened so much that the farmer who lives 20 miles or more from the steamboat landing, railroad station or the city will be enabled to bring his products to the place of shipment and return between sunrise and nightfall.
 Farmers Deserve Better Roads
 1.-The farmer deserves better highways It is he who digs from the soil precious gold represented by the products of his labor He cannot be prosperous if the cost is 25 per ton per mile when it should be 8 or 10 cents.
 'Tt is estimated that the cotton crop of Alabama this year, only one of the products of the soil of our state, will reach 1.150,000 bales. The cost to transport this over good roads. reckoning the average haul from the farm to the steamboat landing, railroad station or cot ton mill at eight miles, will be at the rate of l6 cents per bale equal to $1S4,0o0.

And in eonclu- sion, If the governor and the legislature of Alabama will enact wise and pro- gressive legislation which will have roads constructed along practical per manent and economic basis will be a greater monument to that governor and legislature than all previous governors or legislatures in the history of Ala hama, 1t makes no difference how illus- trious or how great service they have performed to the state.'

NapoIeon's Work for French Roads

Gifted with an intellect such as has seldom been bestowed on the children of men, that marvellous warrior and statesman, Napoleon Bonaparte, has left no more enduring monument of his genius, wisdom and foresight than the system of splendid public roads he caused to be constructed in his beloved France. More than s30,0O000O were spent in 1908 by American tourists in France alone by reason of the excellent road ways which traverse that empire. These roadways 1t has been truly said, favored the success of the small landed proprie- tors on whose prosperity and the in- creased distribution of wealth lies the key to the strong box of the wonderful financial vitality and solid prosperity Of

CEREMONIAL FOR WALES
Investiture of Prince of Wales
Will Be at Carnarvon.

London, Sept S.-The announcement
that King George has decided to revive
the ancient custom of the investiture of
the Prince of Wales and that the cere-
mony is to take place at Carnarvon
Castle next JULY has given unbounded
satisfaction to North Wales.
A keen controversy has ragged between
the partisans of the rival claimants for
the honor CarrarvOn and Cardiff both
maintained that historical traditions
favored their claims. The victory of
Carnarvon is undoubtedly due largely,
