DR.. AswelI Had a Big Crowd.

LIZ ASWcu uou Dig OIOWus
On Wednesday, after speaking at
IL O'Clock at Dry Prong to good
crowd, DR.. j. Is. Aswell, candidate
for governor, spoke at the Colfax
court house, at 7:30 in the evening,
to the biggest crowd ever gathered
in the court room for two or three
years. Every seat was taken, and
fully fifty persons stood up to hear
the speaking
When DR.. Aswell appeared he was
greeted with IA hearty round OF APP
plause.
On motion OF NJ. Z. STAFFORD, duly
seconded, DR.. j. l.. Woodall was call
ed upon to preside us chairman of
the meeting. Among those occupy
ing seats on the platform were j. H !.
McNeely, DR.. b. FL. Talbot, c. H..
Mccain, j. NJ. Durham, q. II. Me-
Knight, DR.. p. Goode, Ii. A. Roshto,
q. A. White and others.
DR.. Woodull made ready aud ef-
fective presiding officer, and his in
PRODUCTION of the speakers was in
fitting and appropriate terms.
The first speaker introduced was
DR.. b. H. Talbot, OF Vim parrish,
candidate for Senate from the 9th
Senatorial district, who spoke for
about ten minutes in advocacy of his
candidacy, and claimed that he was
the best man for the place because he
had not made SO many promises.
He was given courteous round OF
applause.
Mr.. c. H. Mccain, of Grant, the
opposing candidate for Senate fol-
lowed in brief bit vigorous talk of
few minutes, asserting that every
plank in his platform represented the
will aud wishes OF the people OF this
district. and that he stood by his
pledge and promise to do the very
best he could in having them crys-
talized into law. His ringing reply
received hearty applause.
DR.. Woodall in introducing DR.. As
well took pride in the fact that he
had graduated FROM the same col
lege with the distinguished educator.
who had won his honors fairly, and
was distinguished among hundreds
by the briliancy with he acquitted
himself.
DIR. Aswell was given a rousing
round of applause as he arose to
speak, and, plunging at once into
his address, he held the undivided in
terest of the large audience for more
than one hour and a half. His tell
ing criticisms of his two opponents
were greatly appreciated. and by the
hearty response elected it was quite
evident he had the entire sympathy
OF bis hearers. Without attempting
any boost for the speaker, it is but
lair to say that bis talk was plainly
q vote-winner, and that Aswell stock
has greatly increased since his tour

waving 1t furiously. He informed the
motorists that cyclone had struck That

The schoolhouse had been turned upside

situation and found the trees packed to-

about half mile. 1t was then o'clock.
He informed the farmer that he had to

$40 to get him through this bad stretch
Of debris. Almost like fairy tale. the
farmers commenced to arrive; Jokes OF

an hour and a quarter of steady cutting
and hauling the road was finally cleared
and the trees hauled away Mr.. Stoddard
and his companion continued their jour-

pulled into Rutland, after covering sixty

is sometimes difficult to clean these with
a polishing fluid, the latter having a
knack Of staining the surrounding var

sees these parts unpolished-which means
discolored 1t is far better to abandon
the idea of cleaning them with polishes
and to use the finest emery cloth, a piece

the activity which has followed the an
nouncement that the 1911 Glidden tour
would be run over the national highway
into Jacksonville. the metropolis Of Flor
ida and the queen of winter resort cities.
For many months good roads enthusi-
asts have been agitating the paving and
hard-surfacing of a stretch of between
eighteen and twenty miles to the Duval
county line from the city of Jacksonville.
Nothing seemed to be sufficient to arouse
the county commissioners to action. With
in three days after it was announced that
the Glidden tour would terminate in jack
sonville public sentiment had compelled
the county commissioners to call a special
pletion of the entire stretch Of work with

a quarter Of a million dollars. Part OF
it is to be paved with vitrified brick.
Two months ago the assertion that this
would be done would have been consid-
cred good humor. and engineers woud
have secuted the time limit for the COM
pletion of the work as absurd and i'm
possible The county had the money and
required the road, and now there are
more than a dozen big gangs of men at
work on the highway. 1t will be COM
pleted well before the specified time il
there is no backset.
Other counties through which the tour
will pass have followed the same meth
ods and the Florida end of the highway
is already taking shape. Up through the
Georgia stretch the same conditions pre-
vail. The near approach of the tour has
stimulated sections Of the state not on
the highway to construct splendid lat
erals leading into the highway and to
Jacksonville. Other cities in Florida ex-
pect the etc be filled with motorists
this winter, and they are undertaking to
make it possible for them to take many
enjoyable one-day trips to the various
resorts Florida lends itself very readily
to road engineering. and indications point
to the fact that the state may, with JUS
tice. before the end Of the year lay
claim to being the winter paradise of

highway. Enthusiastic meetings are being
held in all the counties through Wnicn
the Miami extension would pass. and In
q number of them long stretches OF the
proposed highway have already been com

The good roads idea has caught on in
the remotest sections. and big bond issues
are being announced with clocklike regu-
larity. It Is not an exaggeration to say
that not less than ten million dollars
worth of road work Is either now IN
progress. already provided for by issues
of road bonds, or in contemplation by the
voters OF Florida counties.
With what has already been accom-
plished the people have come to realize
what good roads and motor vehicles mean
Jacksonville and other markets. 1t is
taking on an aspect Of business, as well
as pride and pleasure.
In view OF popular misunderstanding
Of the prizes to be awarded In the Gid
den tour it may be explained that. while
prizes Of cash or plate will be awarded
to individual winners In the various price
divisions for touring cars and runabouts,
the Glidden trophy will be competed for
by teams. Each team is to consist OF
three cars. either touring or runabout,
or combination of both.
They are to be designated by the name
of the city or town from which the con-
testants enter. The trophy will be given
to the team which has the least number
of points penalty to its debit at the finish
of the 1869 miles, the length of the tour.
An entrant has the option OF electing
the team on which his car shall COM
pete. the only exception being that he
must reside in the state from which the
team is entered.
Daily increases have brought the
working force of the Peerless Motor
Car Company Of Cleveland, Ohio, up to
