To the Voters of Alexander County:
lit is stated,in an article given
space in last nights issue of the Citi'
zen that Alfred Brown. who Is my
opponent for the nomination as Cir
emit Clerk. has made ''the best record
of any official that ever held Office;
that he is always at his post of duty
during office hours and that he has
earned more money for the County
than any other official that ever held
the office, and that he is valuable
man for the County, fact that the
taxpayers should not overlook !
wish to say in reply, that we have
had Just as good men in the office as
Mr.. Brown and I think that The Citi-
zen is placing quite slam on E. ).
Dewey. who held the office for six
teen years also on Lee B. Davis, who
held the office for eight years, and
declined to run again, and others.
also wish to state that the hours OF
the office are from a. m. to 8 p. m.
and that have been in the office at
different times and Mr.. Brown was
not in. Only his deputy was on duty.
Another thing, Mr., Brown DID
NOT MAKE ANY MORE MONEY
THAN came through the business OF
the office, he only did just what he
had to do Mr.. Brown has made nc
better Circuit Clerk than ! will be II
elected. / was educated in the Cairo
Public Schools and think that with
training thus obtained can perform
the duties of the office with just al
much success as Mr.. Brown, and
win SAVE as much money for thu
county as he did. The books of th'
Circuit Clerk are examined by thu
County Commissioners every thre'
months and il they are not correc
the voters would soon know about 1t
III pledge that If the tax payers cleo
me to office, In preference to Mr.
Brown, that / will make AS GOOD
RECORD as he did. If not better.

MAN WOULD HAVE
TO TRAVEL 65 YEARS
TO COVER R0ADWAYS

Even with high-powered auto
mobile that could keep up pace OF
90 miles a day indefinitely, 1t would
take a man more than 65 years to
cover all the public roads in the
United States. A young man of
twenty starting out to accomplish
this tremendous task would be IS
before he had covered the last mile
of pubic highway in this country.
After an investigation extending
over many months, Logan Waller
Page, Director Of the Office Of Public
Roads, has ascertained that there
sare now 2.19s,645 miles of public
roads in the United States. The fig
lures include all the new roads built
up to the year 1909 In 1904 there
were exactly 2,151.370. 1t is APP
parent, therefore, that the increased
mileage of new roads within a
period of about FIVE years has been
1896.
The investigation just concluded, I"
said Director Page, in an interview
shows conclusively that the move
ment for the Improvement of public
| highways has obtained a firm grip
on the country. The percentage of
roads which were really improved
amounted to TIA in 1904, while in
1909, to which year statistics are
nav available, the percentage was
1856.
1T is interesting to observe the
growth of improved methods in road
construction. For instance, the
total mileage of stone roads in 1904
was 36,Sl8, while in 1903 1t was
5s,237. The total mileage of gravel
roads in 1904 was, 109. s05, while in
1909 1t was only 102,870. This de-
crease in gravel roads, however, was
due to a Redistribution OF roads.
Many of those reported In 1904 to be
of gravel proved to be of some other
substance. while exaggerations were
illuminated. gro t haGta a 'i,
