LANE DISPLEASED.
He Styles Governor Colquitt the
"Liuuor OIiparchy."

Comptroller Lane issued state
ment relative to the veto by Governor
Colquitt of the deficiency appropria-
ton bill, that provided for four addi-
tional clerks for the comptroller's de-
partment Lane ridicules that action
and designates the state executive as
the 'liquor oligarchy
He also says that numerous letters
have been received by him from his
friends telling him to be on his guard,
''as the governor has already de-
stroyed the usefulness of the attorney
generals department and that he was
the next to suffer.
Since the Legislature placed the IL
quor business in control of his de-
partment, and since no provision has
been made to supply him with help
Mr.. Lane declares the liquor interests
will have to suffer. He states he will
give what time he possibly can to han
die the licenses, but since all of the
en- ployes are provided by law, the
governors veto means that large
number of dealers will fail to get their
licenses renewed. He reviews the ex-
pense of the department and calls at
tention to the increased duties since
the past year.

Farmers and Roads.

In Missouri not long ago a man soil
his farm because his neighbors ha'
voted to build a rock road in front o
it, which would force him to have hi
horses shod.
In Kansas a man recently declared
that he would be in favor of good road
il the State Legislature would pass
law preventing automobiles from using
them.
An Oklahoma farmer says he does
not want macadamized roads because
they will wear out his wagons, his bug.
gies and his farm machinery.
The Kansas City Star, which made
the discovery of these three remark
able ANTS, is not discouraged there
by, despite the fact that it is an en-
thusiastic and persevering advocate OF
good roads. 1t contents itself by say
ing that twenty-five years ago the
people who believed in letting well
enough alone we're Directing to rail-
roads because they would compel the
payment of rent for pasturing cows
which otherwise might run at large
without danger of being killed by steam
'injuns.'
1t is possible there are a few persons
in Kentucky who oppose road improve
ment for some of the surprising rea-
sons advanced by this trio of Western
farmers, but it is believed that such
persons constitute only a small and
rapidly diminishing company. Here in
Kentucky the farmers are beginning to.
understand the cost OF bad roads and
are realizing that it is immensely larger
than any losses they may sustain
wear and tear Of vehicles and
horse shoes on macadamized highways.

A Forty-Niner Going Back.

Rev. and Mrs. III. G. Wheeler, accom-
panied by their daughter. Mrs. Annie
w. Jones, left last Thursday afternoon
for Oakland, Cal, where they expect to
make their future home. Their grand
daughter, Miss jamie Burns Wheeler,
went with them and will be the guests
Of California relatives until Christmas.
Troy Press.
Old neighbors Of adjoining homes and
good ones, too, we feel like bidding
them Godspeed. Mr.. Wheeler is 81
years Of age. He is a native of Missis-
sippi or Florida, we are not sure. For
probably sixty years the family resided
at Troy, esteemed by the people OF that
community generally for their hospi-
tality and generosity, and for what is
more-a good name and a kind, hearty
and wholesome personality.
Mr.. Wheeler wa one OF the Forty
miners, making the trip to the gold fields
around the Pacific coast in one OF the
liners Of that day. He returned and
shortly afterwards settled in Troy. Mr..
Wheeler is a Methodist minister, and
in order TO give our readers a better idea
of the man, he was to Troy much the
same sort of mar that the late Rev.
Tom Osborne was to Union City. What
is said Of Mr.. Wheeler can be truly said
OF his good wife. In and out season he
always the same, a Ia whose re-
ligion determined the formation Of his
character, his life work and his entire
being. II he had a fault it was the
lack OF his W ~vindication. He often
sacrificed his individual rights for the
pleasure OF his friends and coveted
nothing that belonged to his neighbor.
He was as guiltIess Of this sin probably
as any man that ever lived. This is
illustrative Of his whole character. He
was as near the Mar Of Gallilee as man
seldom is.
The writer knew the family well. The
home was ideal in the fact that its vel
was wholly free from the art Of de-
ception, more valued than the spIendor
OF marble halls, more to be desired and
as universally enjoyed probably as any
in the vicinity OF the first and oldest
township in the county.
Hundreds who knew them will recog-
nize the spirit which prompted this
and wish them all the blessings
Heaven may vouchsafe in the Sc
rene age OF life's sunset in the land Of
The Golden Gate.

itics than to get to the political crib
America had better return to old King
George and be done with it.
As to the S~tate-iee system Mr.. VIII
Iiams refers to. we believe there should
be a change, but this change should
come after a thorough investigation OF
the receipts and disbursements of all
the offices in the State. The bill here
tofore offered was unjust to many OF
the smaller offices. There is no ques-
ton that more pruning is needed in
Tennessee official quarters. Fees should
be eliminated and salaries adequate, and
literally adequate, should be substi-
tuted, but the conditions everywhere
should be ascertained and provided for.
