 The Wooster road at this point has the most heavy traffic of any in the county, in the opinion of MT. Surratt. One day last week he says he counted 1S3 vehicles crossing the bridge in 12 hours, an average of about one each four minutes. During the day 175 bales of cotton headed for Conway were carried over the bridge.

VICE PRESIDENT SHERMAN
 PASSES AWAY YESTERDAY.

Again the 1912 National campaign has been elouded with sorrow by the announcement this morning of the death of Vice President James School craft Sherman, who was the nominee of his party this year for reelection. Mir. sherman has been in poor health for several months and not able to participate in the campaign. The at tempted assassination of Col. Roose- welt two weeks ago was a shock to the country and hushed political dis eussion for several days. Now the death of vice presidential candidate Will again dull the enthusiasm Of the canigalgn. These two regrettablc events will mark the campaign of this year as one of tragedy and deep sor- row.

 WHY WASTE YOUR VOTE?
(New York world.)

lNeW York World.)
 Every vote for Woodrow Wilson is a vote for progressive government. Every progressive vote against Wood row Wilson is vote thrown away, or worse than thrown away.
 Why waste your vote?
 Mir. Roosevelt cannot be elected. As between him and Mir. Taft the con- test is merely a question of which will run third This may be interest ing but it IS not important to the wei, fare Of the American people. Even if Mr. Roosevelt could by any possible chance be elected. his victory would result only in a deadlocked govern ment. He would have a hostile con gress to deal with, which did not rec ognize his leadership and which would not work with him. His election would mean merely four years of turmoil without profit to the country.
 Governor Wilson can be elected, and he will be elected But this is not enough. He should be elected by a majority so great that there can be no mistake as to the meaning of the peoples mandate. He will go into office with a democratic house, and If his majority is large enough he Will have a democratic senate as well This will make President Wilson the leader of 8 united party in full control of both branches of congress and in a position to carry out all the progress i've policies to which 1t is pledged.
 ''The country VII have immediate revision of the tariff 70 reduce the cost of living, with as little disturbance to legitimate business as possible It will have an honest enforcement Of the law against predatory trusts and mon opolies.
 It will have a free government efnancipated from boss rule and from corporation rule. It VII have sane. progressive administration of public affairs from the day of Woodrow Will sons inauguration.
 That is what the great mass of the American people want whether they call themselves democrats or republicans or prcgressives. That is what they will get if they act intel Lgently The way to get it is to give Governor Wilson a majority so over whelming that it will be indeed the voice of the people.
 Why waste your voter"

DON'T STUNT THE RAILROADS.

Can We afford to stunt the rail roads?" This question is asked and partially answered by the Atchison Globe. This question, which is asked in all seriousness, will be passed light ly by most people, but a farmer who wants to market his grain or stock, and who runs up against a car short. age. will tell you few things. He will tell you that his prosperity de bends on the prosperity of the rail. roads; that the interests of the farm CT and the railroads are, in a meas ure. identical Tn a season of plenty both are prosperous if products can be marketed. In a bad season each suf- fers, and. in addition, the railroads must fight the politicians who would make the people believe their mis- fortune is due to ruinous railroad .n. nuence or discrimination. Railroads are not being attacked by the politi. clans as formerly. Although Dottf clans had largely changed their tune, those who formerly rode into office on wave Of railroad abuse were either defeated at the primary election this year or were elected by greatly re. duced msjorities."
 Consider a little more at large what the troubles of the railways are: The ownership is private, but the manage ment is public, and without financial responsibility for results. The number of employees and the lengt hof the working day are fixed by law. The number Of men to crey Is not left to the discretion Of Ire nominal man agenent The standard of equipment, the erection of signGIs. the removal of grade crossings. the provision of safety appliances and countless other things are directed by legal process. The only thing not controlled is the

maintenance of credit, and with that problem the reads are struggling. No private business could be sus- tained under such conditions. but rail ways are public utilities and that the oretically alters everything. Does it alter anything practically? Is there any form of statue known to man which will alter a balance sheet per manently? TS
 In Canada this year an excess of 100 millions will be spent for railway construction. In this country half billion would not be enough on simi- lar scale. Where is it to be got? The question is not asked in tenderness for the railways. That is the peoples interest in the railway question.
