GOOD ROADS MEETING
At RELIANCE LAST NIGHT

When the committee from Bryan ar.
rived at the good roads meeting al
Reliance last night they were greeted
with rousing cheer from a crowded
hall. The hall (the Woodmen OF the
World is beautifully arranged, com.
modious auditorium, and the surround.
ings encouraged talk for progress. Mr.
James Cloud was made chairman.
Judge Board, Prof Potts and w. H.
Morgan made excellent speeches
pointing out the great advantages to
be gained to any community by a good
roads system.
Mr.. hurry spoke at length against
the plan, his only argument being that
he was against bond issue but he
wanted good roads.
Mr.. Lloyd made a splendid appeal
for the issue, as did also Rev. ]. M
Bullock.
The climax of the meeting came
when Mr.. Cloud, the chairman, stated
that he had all along been opposed
to the bond issue, though he was in
favor of good roads; but that the mat.
ter of the bond issue had been shown
to him in entirely different light,
and that he is now in favor OF the
bond issue and will vote for it.
There were over one hundred pres
ent. with a large majority favoring the
issue.

state for general distribution.
The u millions OF farmers of the
United States add each year to the
national wealth S. 400, 900, 900 They
are doing this on a borrowed capital
of 5000, 100000. On this sum they pay
annually interest charges of $4,000, 600.
Counting commissions and renewal
charges, the interest rate paid by the
farmer of this country is averaged at
S12 per cent. as compared to a rate of
Az to 312 per cent paid by the farmer,
for instance, of France or Germany.
Again the interest rate paid by the
American farmer is considerably high
er than that paid by our industrial
corporations, railroads. or municipali-
ties. Yet I think, it will be admitted
that the security offered by the farmer
in his farm lands is quite as sound
as that offered by industrial corpora
lions. Why, then, will not the investor
furnish the farmer with money at as
adVantageou rates as he is willing to
supply it to the industrial corpora
tons? Obviously. the advantage en-
joyed by the industrial corporation
lies in the financial machinery at its
command. which permits it to place it's
offer before the investor in a more at
tractive and more readily negotiable
form. The farmer lacks this machine
ry, and, lacking it, he suffers unreal
soma bly,. This is not theory"

tation of crude materials for manufactur-
ing been as large as for the first eight
months of 1872 according to figures made
public today by the division of statistics

fact that the Importation of that class of
their raw materials which they draw

nearly every instance that of the same
period of any earlier year.

A dull, drab, muddy complexion. or

inexpensive method, be changed to one

most unsightly complexion in from one
to two weeks. BY its remarkable alb

hides the healthier skin underneath, is

invisible particles. This is done so

Century Dictionary: 1.-The passion
moves one to defend his
try from invasion, defending it's
rights, maintaining it's laws and in

During the Civil War no intelligent
mind will question the patriotism
displayed on both sides of the ques-
ton at issue, nor the valor, bravery
and lighting qualities of either side
for what to them seemed best for
their country as geographically fixed
in their minds.
Now as we approach the day of

Now, Contractors, Finish Up.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Now that the laborers' strike is
over, the city should compel the con-
tractors to finish the score of jobs
they left half done before they teal
up any more streets. In many places
the residents suffered night and day.
Clouds of dust and yellow clay, the
kind hat sticks in clothes and ruins
carpets and furniture, was blown and
dragged into their homes. 1t also
made it difficult for horses to pull,
for the pavements were torn up here
and there. and, according to some
who were once on the other side, the
streets were as bad as the rocky roa
to Dublin. The officials of the Board
of Works with their several automo-
biles at their disposal should elm
mate "ioy rides" for the time and
attend to business. A VICTIM.
