Porter Cromelin, Liberian minister
to the Court OF St. James, has returned
from the. Inauguration of Pres. Daniel
Howard with glowing reports of the
favorable conditions under which the
new executive of the republic is be-
ginning his term. The minister de-
clares that trade is thriving, and that
the only handicap to 1t is the nearly
empty condition of the state treasury.
All interests in Monrovia are looking
forward with keen anticipation to the
arrival of Reed Page Clark, the Ameri-
can recently appointed treasurer gen.
eral, for it is generally believed that
with the strict administration Of the
present custom laws, ample funds will
be available both for the ordinary ez-
penses of the government, and for the
permanent Improvements promised by
President Howard. ..----.-

London, Feb. 1.-THE appointment
of f. w. Parker, as chief adviser Of
the British Olymic team, was the first
active step toward the selection of the
athletes who will compete at Stock
holm next summer. Parker declares
that the time for the choice and prep
aration of the team is much too short
and that some strenuous work. must be
done by the aspiring athletes during
the coming six months.
The Olympic trials will be held at
Stamford bridge, May IS, and 1t is ex-
pected that by that date most of the
entries will be in something near their
best form. One expert in discussing
the best methods. of accomplishing this
made the following statement: THE
clever trainer is the man who not only
gets his charges At by a certain date,
but is capable of keeping them fit.
The Americans have lone this, and
his is where they proved their clever
ness. But what one man can do, can
be done by others provided they use
their brains. This Is one of the things
our trainers should keep in mind"

VIII Require Sc. 100000

Figuring the cost of building the
Meridian road on a basis of $4,000 per
miles which is the estimated cost Of a
mile OF road in Texas, 1T is found that
Sc, 00O,0 900 will be required to finance
this proposition. This sum is being
raised BY the issuance Of bonds voted
for that purpose.
This highway will prove a boon to
automobiIists travelling north and
south in the middle west Thousands
OF tourists wiz go north in summer to
the lakes over this road, south IN win
ter to the gulf coast, and II will not
be long until 1t will be recognized as
the best north and south highway
traversing the United States. II goes
without saying that the local traveI
between county seats and the larger
cities wiz be enormously increased
and facilitated.

half division when they want it, we do not wish
to allow the county to be run on the basis of heavy
taxation, that it has been handled in the past

No sane voter would like to see taxes continue
to pile up as they have been dong the last few

The Bison promoters would like to have YOU
believe that they will remedy this if YOU will
give them another chance. We have tried. dis
covered the heavy taxes and paid an almost in
toerable taxation, and they are in poor position
to say what they will do. 1t cannot be much
worse SO far as taxes are concerned If they are
such large public benefactors endeavoring to look
after the interests of the taxpayers, why don't
they start at home, and not try to destroy honest
efforts to save money for the tax payers of Per-
