Active in Coed Work.
Mr.. King is the chairman Of the
committee on good roads appointed
| by the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment Association. He has taken a
leading part in the conferences at
Bemidji and Brainerd on the pro-
posed trunk lines. and has thorough
ly posted himself on the ElWell law
under which action is to be taken.
AS county commissioner, he is we'll
acquainted with conditions in the
woods, the need of roads and the
difficulties in the way.
He is a tall, grave, iron gray man,
with eyes that are grey till they
twinkle blue Smooth shaven, he
parts his hair like w. J. Bryan.
He is an enthusiast about farming
in Northern Minnesota, about good
d roads, about iron ore on the out
skirts of Deer River, about human
ity in general. He is one of the
men we have not heard much about
who are doing real work.
Coming to elimination.
It seems as though the good roads
movement was just arriving. Hun
dreds of men have been working
for years to bring about things that
are now happening, as it appears,
Of themselves. Roads seem today
to be leaping from point to point.
AS though by wave of the hand
they are constructed from one center
to another. But the easy progress
today, where it is easy, is due to
the hard work and to the effort that
sometimes seemed wasted in the for
mer years.
Here is a road from Duluth to
St. Vincent, to be built all of a sud-
den. Three hundred miles Of first
class thoroughfare to be constructed
in few months. No, far from it.
That road has been creeping along
section by section year after year.

one village and another, then an
other, then a corduroy was laid
through a swamp, then another

piece was cut out and almost made
passable. Some of it grew up to
brush and had to be made over.
Some of it rotted into swamp and
was filled again with earth Gradu-
ally the road was pulled and scrap
ped together, till now a highway of
800 miles can be made by building
a few stretches of three or five or
ten miles and bringing up to stand
ard The neglected parts.
Again the road from Moorhead to
Duluth. That has been even longer
building. for most of the country
was settled after a fashion forty
.ears ago, and much of it has been
well settled twenty years ago or more
All those counties and towns have
taken care of their local roads and
licked them into pretty good shape
with few exceptions. To link them
tne either is a task that is trif1ing
compared with what has been done.
ii has come to the place where the
scattered parts run together almost
o. themselves. And we must thank
the men whose work is buried and
hose efforts often seemed wasted,
for laying foundations on which the
easy building is done. 49, -
Frontier Work Done.
The real work in road building
is being done in the new counties
like koochching and Northern Bel
trami, where ways must be cut
through the virgin wilderness. The
men in those districts are addressing
themselves to their task with bold
ness and directness. They are try
ing to plan their work SO it shall be
most effective, and SO what is done
each year shall be Joined to what
came before and what is to follow.
They are in a position to do their
work more Systematically than the
former pioneers of the older counties,
and htey have broad plans more
clearly in view. -
And further more, this new plan
of highways on lines that cross the
state, helps their work Take Kooch-
ching, almost an unbroken waste as
it seems or did seem two or three
years ago. Run a line southwest
through Koochching, following
roughly the Minnesota & Inter-
natioanl Run another line south
erly parallel with the county line.
Connect one with the road to Be-
midi and the other with the road
"a Grand Rapids and Duluth. And
it is surprising how easily and by
what short lines a. road can be made
70 enter every town and reach every
section.
System More Expeditions.
Formerly the counties built and
had TO build to reach first one set
tier and then another, and what was
done last year had little to relieve
the next years needs. To run
few lines first as a backbone to the
system, doubles the efficiency of roads
built after.
If better road work is being done
now than formerly, it is largely be-
cause better road work is possible.
1t is not little due to good legisla-
ton that permits roads to be financed
through new country. It is due most
of all to work done year after year
by road enthusiasts, work that does
now appear on the surface, much
of it that seemed wasted at that time.

and let you know what DR.. Kilmer's
SWamp-Root has done so far for me.
About one year ago I was taken
sick with terrible pain in my right
side. Ny family physician pro-
nounced it appendicitis. About two
weeks ago received your almanac
and read in it about weak kidneys,
and my back hurting me SO much,
I thought I would try your Swamp
Root and to my great establishment,
after using one bottle, expelled
three gall stones, which weighed 1876

neys are not well yet, so have con-
cluded to continue with Swamp
Root. Mr.. Schwake, the druggist,
thought that it never was appendi-
citis and that the doctor had made a
mistake. 1t was no doubt, gall
stones that caused the trouble, or
they would not have come away so
soon after commencing with Swamp
Root.

MUCH ENTHUSIASM MANIFESTED
IN BIG OWENS FERRY MEET
NEXT WEDNESDAY
II Is Now Thought That About Eighty
People Will Go From Brunswick,
Large Delegations Will Also Be
Present From Other Points.

If good roads in this section does
not get the boost of its life on Feb.
% at the big Owens Ferry meet it
will be no fault of the Brunswick Au-
tomobile club, which is working in
conjunction with the Jacksonville club
in the affair. The club held an in
teresting meeting in the directors
room of the National bank last night
and some real enthusiasm was mani
tested by large number of the mem
ters of the club who were present In
the absence of both the president and
secretary of the club who were out of
the city, Vice President E. H. Mason
presided at last nights meeting and
J. Hunter Hopkins acted as secretary.
According to plans formulated last
night, some 16 cars will make the
trip to the ferry, carrying in all about
so passengers. These will include
the officers and members of the
Brunswick automobile club, the mem
bers of the board of Glynn county
commissioners and few prominent
citizens who are active in the cause
of good roads. The cavalcade Of cars
will leave the city promptly at S
o'clock Wednesday morning, arriving
at Owens Ferry at II O'Clock The
Jacksonville party and others from
other points will arrange their time
of leaving so as to form a juncure
at the ferry at about II O'Clock. An
old fashioned fish fry and dinner will
be served during which short talks
will be made on the good roads move
ment, etc
Information received from Jackson
Vile and other places is TO the effect
that large number of automobiiists
and others will be present and at this
time the success of the affair seems
to be assured.
At the meeting last night the as.
signment of the guests OF the club
in the local cars was also made,
which will be published in the coarse

LAW HOLDS GOOD.
State Supreme Court Again Passes on
Georgia Prohibition Law.

The following news story from yes
terday's Atlanta Journal is Of local
interest:
In a decision handed down Tuesday
By the supreme court certain portions
of the prohibition law passed Aug. 6,
1907, and contested in the suit of
Sureton against the state. were held
to be in accord with the constitution
of the state
In the decision the supreme court
affirmed the Judgment of the court of
appeals uncertain certified questions
in the suit. The supreme court held
that the prohibition law passed Aug.
s, 1907, was not in violation OF article
l, section /, paragraph 3, of the con-
stitution OF the state, which holds that
no person shall re deprived of life.
liberty or property except by due pro.
cess of law, on the ground that it pro-
hibits the manufacture of alcohol for
al and every purpose, including med
icai. scientific and mechanical usag-
es, and for alcoholic and spurious
liquors.
1t was held further that the prohi-
bition law of 1907 was not in viola.
ton of the 14th amendment, which
provides that no state shall make or
enforce laws which abridge the priv.
ileges or immunites of the citizens OF
the United States, nor shall any state
deprive any person of life, liberty or
property except by due process of law
In the original papers of the case it
appears the Cureton operated a dis
tillery In the state OF Georgia and
that in papers filed subsequent to the
closing of his distlllery he contended
that the prohibition law was uncon-
stitutional in that it deprived citi-
zen of property without due process
of law.
1t was claimed further that several
articles containing alcohol for me-
chanical, scientific and medical pur-
poses were sold in the state and the
plaintiff contended that he should DE
allowed to distill alcohol for these
purposes.
When the case was heard before
the court of appeals the constitutional
ity of the prohibition law on these
points was sustained and list Of GER
titled questions bearing on the con-
| tested parts was submitted TO the SUI
preme court. In the supreme court
in answer to the certified questions it
was held that the prohibition law was
not invalid on the contested points,

| peals was affirmed.

LEGATION at the local postoffice, but the
postal authorities were as mum as
oysters on the subject. merely stating
to 1those who have complained of
missing mail, etc, that certain mail
pouches were stolen on the dates
named in the Atlanta advice
So far as can tie learned, the mail
going out on the 18th was light and
not so many complaints have been
made. but information here is to the
effect that several hundred thousand
dollars in negotiable papers, such as
checks, drafts and bills Of exchange,
not to mention many important bills
of lading, were lost in the mail going
out on the 31st.
Mail leaving this city for Savannah
and teastern points goes out via the
A., VI. e. A. railroad at 9:10 p. m.
in charge Of the porter. and is deliy-
cred TO the Jacksonville Hamlet route
Seaboard Air Line train, an hour lat
er at Thalman. In the meantime the
mail is stored on trucks at this juno
tion, and the pouches were evidently
stolen from the truck between trains.
On account OF there being no clerk
on this train out of Brunswick. no
registered mail is sent on this route,
bat it is the most important of the
outgoing mails.
It is known that the federal post.
office department is making a very
strong effort to locate the mail thieves
as well as the missing paper 1t is
recalled that three or four postoffice
inspectors have been in and out of
the city for the last three or four
weeks and locally, their frequent Wis
its to the city have been the subject
OF conjecture by those who knew OF
their coming and going.
Whether any of the missing checks
etc, are really negotiable paper and
just the nature of the large amount re.
ported to be missing, are matters
which the postal authorities in Bruins.
wick will not discuss. There were
no special agents of the postoffice
department in the city yesterday and
with a grim silence on the part OF
local officials, details of the incident
are meager.
