will be eQualixed. There Is no reason
why the railroads should not be taxed
to help build the county roads. The
same may be said of the mapufacturer
and the city merchant who are doing
business with the farmers; their in
terests are bound up In his interests.
II one suffers, both suffer. The United
States is a great big family, and what
we need is family prosperity; those
things done that make for the best
good of all concerned. There 10 moth
ing that contributes more to this than
good highways. They enrich country
life and make the farm home more
pleasant. 1t would be hard to con-
ceive Of a more delightful existence
than to live upon a good farm with all
modern conveniences-light, heating
and sanitation-located upon a we'll
QUILT highway, ana therefore accessible
to the market town at any day in the
year, the trip being made speedily and
with comfort.
Investigation shows that at least
four-fifths of the traffic on the high
ways passes over about onsfourth of
the road mileage; that certain roads
have heavy traffic. These are the
ones that need the first attention and
should be permanently improved. We
find the same thing in our railway sys-
TENS. Take the trunk lines. Here is
a great city where trains are moving
every thirty minutes. and with an
enormous traffic and wear. These
roads must have heavy rails, well bal
lasted and carefully maintained, while
pionener road has single track

MISS LAURA SHACKEL-
FORD BECOMES BRIDE

The marriage of DIR. w. ].
| Crockett, of Nashville, Tenn,
to Miss Laura Shackelford, of
this city, was celebrated in the
private parlors of the Phoenix
Hotel in Lexington Wednesday
afternoon at a o'clock, the Rev.
F. w. Delcamp, oficiated.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. f. ]. Shackeltord,
and is widely admired. Miss
Shackelford met DIR. Crockett,
who is a well-known dental sur
geon of Tennessee, at the home
of DR.. and Mrs. H. R. Miller in
Mississippi where be- sa CUES
DIR. Crockett comes of one of
the Oldest families in the South,
and he is a young man of dis
tinct ability.
DR.. Miller acted as DIR. Crock
ett's best man, and the other
attendants were Miss Bessie
Shackleford, the brides sister,
Mr.. Daniel Crockett, of Frank
lin, Tenn, and Miss Priscilla
Crockett. brother and sister of
the bridegroom.
After the wedding ceremony
an informal dinner was given by
DR.. Miller to the members of
the bridal party in the cafe of
the Phoenix Hotel, at which the
following sat down for the de-
lightful affair: DR.. and Mrs.
Crockett, DIR. Miller and Miss
Bessie Shackleford, Mr.. Daniel
Crockett and Miss Priscilla
Shackleford, Miss Susette John
son, Mr.. and Mrs. Marion Bird
ges, of Mt. Sterling; Mrs. N. A.
Moore and Miss Elizabeth En-
bry, of Paris; Mrs. E. H. Field
and Mrs. w. o. Field, Miss Mar

After an extened wedding
journey in several Western
States, DR.. and Mrs. Crockett
will 60 to Franklin, Tenn, to
reside.
DR.. and Mrs. Crockett have a
wide circle friends in the states
of Tennessee, Kentucky and
Mississippi that will hear of their
wedding with great interest and
have many good wishes for
their happiness.

ly improved to meet the requirements.
The highways in the central west do
not meet the needs Of the people. but
the people do not always realize this.
We are too apt to get along with what
we have, without looking to getting
something better One OF the surpris-
ing things about this whole road
movement is that one state will have
large amount of splendid roads and the
adjoining state few, II any. Indiana
and Illinois are notable instances OF
this. Nearly 40 per cent. OF the
"Hoosier" highways are improved and
most OF these are splendid roads. while
In Illinois the percentage is seven or
eight per cent. Can anyone imagine
reason why the people OF Indiana
can AFFORD good roads. while their
neighbors In Illinois cannot This u
an absurd situation.

ROADS
EXPENSE SHOULD BE DIVIDED
Railroads Should Share With Farmer
Cost Of Building and Proper Main
tenance Of Roads.
CBy HOWARD II. oRoss)

(By HOWARD III. GROSS)
In a large sense the building Of a
road should be local matter; that is,
no community should have good roads
forced upon them, and the building of
the roads should not begin until the
majority Of the people living in a COM
munity want to undertake 1t. Let the
voters of the township or the county
press the button that puts the ma
chinery In action.
II also would be well to remember
that the roads are public property and
belong to everyone. The farmers
ought not to pay all the taxes for
building and maintaining the roads.
they are the feeders for the railway
lines. 1t is all important to the rail-
ways that the highways shall be kept

SUBSTITUTES FOR HANGING.
(From the Washington Post.)

(From the Washington Post.)
Suggestions of members of congress
that electrocution or shooting be sub
stituted for hanging in the District
are given striking support from the
revolving execution of Nathaniel
Green. 1t is conceded that the exc
cution of murderers must have an
exemplary as well as punitive effect.
1t has been urged that the more re-
voting the punishment the greater
the effect on the minds of criminals.
If that were wholly true, however,
it might be argued that it would be
better that all murderers should be
drawn and quartered.
When the stealing of bread was a
capital crime in England there was
more stealing of bread than later
