LAWRENCE TALKS
 ROAD BOND ISSUE

Courtland. June 10.-(Special)-Th good roads convention, held at Moulton last Monday, the first day of the cir cult court, was largely attended and much enthusiasm prevailed.
 As a result there is great discussion in the county over the subject and it is more than likely that an election will be called within the next 30 days to ascertain whether or not bonds to the amount of $25O,O0o shall be issued to build pike roads. Lawrence county has never issued a bond, but it now looks like the people will vote this bond is- sue. The people seem to be wild on the subject and if ensugh hbnds can not be issued under the law, to fpike the county thoroughly, there Is talk of popular subscription to complete the work.

Boston, June 10.-(Special)-'T am Canadian reciprocity treaty, but I am obliged to admit that it's adoption is not a violation of the agreement made with Canada My views on the subject are contained in my speech at Chicago on June. B."
 This is what President Taft tele- graphed to the Boston Chamber of Commerce today after he had read the following telegram sent him by that body:
 Considerable vagueness here in ref erence to your attitude regarding the send the chamber an explicit statement of your position in order that we may support you. Are you opposed to the Root amendment?"
 Washington, June 1O.-Represerea a- tive Underwood is believed to have ex- pressed the general sentiment in the House when he declared today he was unalterably opposed to the Root amend nient. If the Senate should pass the bill with the Root bill amendment in cluded it seems certain from MT.
