The representatives from this county

The representatives from this county
failed to get the bill through locating
the state hospital here. but the matter
was left in such shape that they feel
confident that the bill will go through
without much opposition two years
hence. The bill was introduced in the
house by MIR. Spradling, but owing to
the rush of business before the body, it
was impossible to get hearing and the
bill was carried over to the senate and
introduced there by DR.. Broyles, one of
the senators of this district, and it went
through by vote of % to 8. He was
ably assisted by Mr. Stevens. our other
senator, Coming over to the house it

Good Roads.

Follow the main highways that
have been improved, and you
will see big, good-looking farms,
big barns, fine stock and every
evidence of prosperity.
The building of good roads has
now become science and mod
ern practices should be adopted
if we wish to obtain the best re-
suits for the least money.
John Wesley, a long time ago,
said he had noticed that the
farmers who lived along good
roads were uniformly prosperous,
while those who lived along poor
roads were almost as uniformly
poor themselves.
An improper use of road funds
will only discourage future ap-
preparations. In order to give
the taxpayers their moneys
worth, public highways should
be scientifically constructed. No
public road should be built unless
it is first properly laid out and
then constructed under the sup
ervision of some competent man.
This is merely business prop
osition. If an individual under
takes an enterprise he is going
TO see that it is worked out on
economical lines. What applies
to the individual should apply to
the public. Elk.

sRyAN's FIGHT ON CLARK.

II Champ Clark fails for the nomina-
ton it will be due to the fatal four
teenth ballot At that time he had a
majority of the delegates and would
have been nominated in thirty minutes
had not Mr.. Bryan started his sensa-
tional fight on him. The ground upon
which he based his fight was that New
York was supporting Clark. Such a
move was never, heard of before in
the history of American politics and
doubtless never will be again. Mr..
Bryan and Speaker Clark have long
been warm friends. Only the day be-
fore Mr.. Bryan in an interview said
Clark was his friend, good man, a
progressive, and that his state was
instructed for. him.. Then to turn sud
denly against him because New York
voted for him is absolutely beyond
comprehension. New York had to vote
for somebody, and why not Clark Z
The vote of New York will also be
wanted for the nominee in November
and such tactics as this will never get
it. The argument that because New
York voted for Clark he is the tool
of Wall street." is all stuff and sensi.
BILE men can not be expected to be-
lieve it. Surely the honor of all the
earth is not tied up in Mr.. Bryan. 1t
can not be that he is the only honest
patriot and that all others are thieves.
He is both good and great, none can
deny this, but there are others.
