not been fully developed.
Il have seen the Curtis Neck farm
and it Is my idea to have just such
another. The man who developed
that property has done exactly what
wish to do. | want to have the
pleasure of taking an undeyeloped
farm and improving it until it will
be as fine property as the Curtis
Neck farm. may not realize my

Works Both Ways.
Had Caroline county voted for the
issue of bonds to improve the high
ways there is little doubt that great
development would follow. Markets
in Richmond and Fredericksburg
would be opened to the farmers, and
naturally market for manufac-
turers Of farm implements. motor
trucks and other ~ essities that go
with improved farming methods
would be opened among the farmers
of the county. The benefits of good
roads are not to the farmers alone.
There has been talk of calling
special election In the districts
through which the Richmond-Wash-
ington highway would pass in Caro-
line county to determine whether
these districts would favor a bond
issue TO improve the roads. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether this Will
be determined upon. 1t La asserted
that many property owners along the
proposed route of the highway 1ero
not allowed to vote In the county
election. as they have not voted in
the previous general election for
county and State officers. These
voters were all in favor of the bond
issue and their votes, II recorded,
would cut quite figure In the result.
Through Hanorer County.
From present indications, how

building the highway through Ham

The citizens of Fredericksburg have
guaranteed to finance the building
of the road through Spotsylvan!a

To the voters of Alabama

To the voters o1 AioDHma
 Hon. Charles Henderson announces his candidacy for president of the rail road commission, to succeed himself in an office to which he has been once elected by the voters of this state.
 If his official acts are such as' to warrant your approval, he asks your Endorsement a the coming democratic primary on April 1, 1912.
 MT Hendersons opponent about one year ago. was elected to a four years term of office. which will not expire until 1915, and his cleo tion in MT Ienderson's stead will leave vacancy in his office of secretary of state, which must be filled by appoint ment and not by selection of the voters. Why is he a candidate? Why Is he desertng the duties and the trust that the people, at his earnest solioita- ton. so recently gave him?
 In view of the problems likely to arise in case of d defeat of the state In the railroad rate litigation now pending in the federal court, which de- feat would restore the former passen- ger and freight rates in Alabama, the following facts should be considered:
 l. MT Henderson, for twenty (20) years, has been identified with rail- road rate regulation in this state, and his wide experience gives him pre- eminent fitness for the position.
 ?. The election of totally mex perienced man in these matters at this time would be of serious moment to the consumer and shipper. Why should change be sought? Who are those en- pouraging d change. and for what pur- pose?
 8 In the election of MT. Henderson the state will retain the services of a man of successful business experience and one capable of taking care of the conditions that will arise. The rail- road commission is the only protection for the people against the application of excessive rates and unjust shipping requirements. An unnecessary change at this time may prove costly experi- ment
 Knowing Mir Hendersons wide ex- perience and high qualification for the office he is seeking, we heartily indorse his candidacy.
