ORATORICAL GIANTS
MAY SPEAK At FAIR
Will INVITE PROMINENT men
Effort VIII be Made to Secure
John Sharp Williams. Earle
Brewer and james K
Vardaman

In the event tnal plans Ho"
on foot are successfully consunh
mated the people of Columbus
and the surrounding territory
will have the pleasure OF hearing
three of Mississippi's oratorical
giants speak during the forth
coming exhibition of the Missls-
sippi and West Alabama Fair AS
sociation. Senator John Sharp
Williams, Hon. James K. Varda-
man, who will soon be his col
league in Washington. and Hon.
Earle Brewer, who recently re-
ceived the gnbernatorial nomlna-
ton, are to speak at the Winston
county fair which is to be held
at Louisville, Miss during the
first week in October, and an eff
fort is now b=ing made to have
them come here and deliver ad-
dresses during the progress OF
the local fair.
1t was not until a few days
ago that the forthcoming engage
ment of the three distinguished
Mississippians at Louisville was
announced. and as soon as the
news reached Columbus some of
our public spirited citizens con-
ceiyed the idea that it would be
a fine thing to invite them to
come here. Col. John P. Mayo,
who is always on the lookout for
anything that will promote the
interests of Columbus and the
surrounding country, suggested
to Secretary Randle of the fair
association that the statesmen bel
invited to come here, and thel
suggestion met with the hearty |!
approval of the aiciat Mr. Ran-s
die 3aid. however, that before
extending an invitation he would
have to take the matter up with |
the directors, and get their per-
mission to take action in the
matter. 1t is pretty certain,
though. that every member of
the board will favor the plan.
and kilograms will probably be
sent to the three gentlemen in
yiting them to come.
In the event that the three
distinguished statesmen come
here they will not discuss party
Or personal issues, but their
speeches will be along patriotic
lines. and can be listened to with
pleasure by all men, no matter
what their political opinions and I
may be.
Col. Mayo suggests that Champ
Clark, speaker of the house of
representatives, also be invited !
% come here and deliver an ad-
lress during the progress of the }
fair. Mr.. Clark has numerous
demands upon bis time, and may !
ind it impossible to accept the
invitation. but Col. Mayo reminds
IS of the fact that the best way r
% get anything is to ask for it,
Ind maintains the opinion that
he directors should write to Mr.. h
Clark, and ask him tocome here. .

NEXT PRESIDENT A DEMOCRAT.
Observations Of Editor Hoyt During
Trip to New York.

James A. Hoyt, editor of the Co.
lumbia Daily Record, who hos just
returned from the Associated Press
and American Newspaper Publishers
Associations meeting in New York,
has the following to say in his payer
Monday afternoon of the political
outlook:
"An exceptionally we'll posted man
from the Middle West, having joined
very heartily In the applause ac-
corded the President, turned and
said: "The next President will be
Democrat" THAT was the belief
expressed by men from every section
of the country there gathered. Dest
pite the respect in which Mr.. Taft
Is held, and despite the certainly
that he will be his party's candidate,
the prevailing belief is that he will
be defeated, or that Democrat will
be elected, or that is what it means.
There is not a great deal Of talk
about who the candidate should be,
but the fact that Harmon has carri-
ed Taft's own State makes him seem
to many the strongest candidate,
politically, and the suggestion that
the Democratic ticket should be
Judson Harmon for President, and
Woodrow Wilson, for Vice President
is very popular. That may be the
ticket, if Governor Wilson will &C.
cept second place, and there is nc
reason to believe he will not"

If the donor wishes TO qualify the de-

Let the pass-book be accompanied by
a nice letter from the donor to the re-

that this little nest-egg be added to

VERMONT R0AD-MAKING
DESCRIBED BY GATES
Vermont Highway Commissioner Told
New Hampshire Men That State
Has 1000 Miles of Select
ed" Highways.

Concord, N. H., Dec. State High
way Commissioners G. w. Gates of YER
mont, who was one of the speakers be.
fore the New Hampshire good roads con.
Ference in Concord this week, described
the methods Of good highways develop
ment in his state, as follows,
He told in an interesting and enter
tanning way what Vermont had done
IN the way OF state roads by using the
material at command and doing the
work without bonding the state TO pay
the bills. The law there is based on
conditions existing in the state, and the
plan Is based on the principle of pay
as You 90. Under this the state has
made roads adequate TO its needs, using
the material at hand, and without ex-
pensive machinery.
The law as it operates balances the
burdens between the towns, the richer
helping the poorer
The roads are all considered state
roads, and for the use of the whole peo-
pie Of the state The town there is
considered the unit, and all business is
dobe with the town.
Mr.. Gates told of the various laws
on the subject, and the methods Of taxa
tion TO secure the funds needed. With
the tax of five per cent, together with
appropriations BY the Legislature, there
are now 1000 miles of selected highways
in the state, out of total mileage OF
$1,000. on which the entire state fund
Is expended.
The law at the present time gives the
highway commissioner full power in the
selection OF the road The phrase trunk
line" has been left out Of the law
purposely, but the state is quietly de-
veloping the trunk lines.
Mr.. Gates gave figures Of cost Of de-
veloping roads in the state for several
years and continued: "The town Is the
unit both in building and maintaining
and by carrying out this plan we have
escaped bonded Indebtedness.
"FNe have some macadam roads, some
common water bound. and some treat
ed with tarvia asphalt and other bind
ers."
Six years ago he had declared that
the gravel road was better for Vermont
than maeadam, and he had had no oc-
casion for changing his position in the

For the Next Annual @. A. R. Encamp-

Burlington. Dec l5. The next annual
encampment of the Grand Army Of the
Republic, department Of Vermont, will
be held in Burlington in May 1t is
very probable also, in this connection
that the annual gatherings of the Sons
of Veterans and Woman's Relief corps
Of the state will also be held here at
the same time. No place of meeting has
yet been decided upon and the details
Of the Grand Army meeting will be ar
ranged later.
Department Commander DIR. G. M. Fer
rim Of Essex Junction is anxious that
there be as large an attendance Of vet
Grams as possible and an interesting pro-
gramme viii be prepared. The election
of A. A. Niles of Morrisville is said
to be thought likely. 1t is possible that
the commander in chief Of the Grand
Army organization will be present at
the encampment. The time of holding
the encampment was changed few
years ago from winter to spring in or
der that more veterans might attend.
