When one takes into conSidera-
ton the number of people living
along the road and the compare
lively small per cent of land, that
could properly be classed as agri-
cultural land, adjacent to the road,
the conclusion will be that a road
improved by matchmaking, etc, is
not justified by local needs. 1t is
claimed however, that there is
great need of road for thru travel
b.tween the Ohio Valley states
and the Southeastern States.
Probably the Louisville and
Nashville Pike is the best available
route for such thru traffic at the
present time;
Assuming that the need of a
ro7d for thru travel between the
above mentioned sections is great
enough to justify one being built
II should be, at least, IS feet in
width Following is an estimate
of the cost of building a water
bound macadam road along this
route Is feet in width. having a
compact depth of 8 inches in
the center and 6 inches at the
edges. The only satisfactory
surfacing material along the route
! is limestone, very extensive de
posts of which occur in Rockcastle
County along the raliroad, In
making this estimate it is assumed
that this stone will be used:

STAY ON YOUR FEET.
Taking Calomel Means Staying Home
for the Day-Take Dodson's Liver
Tone and Save Days Work.

If an attack of constipation or oil
iousness hits you, there's no need to
take a dose of calomel and spend a,
least a day getting over the effects OF
it. The Peoples drug store sells the
liver tonic, Dodsin's Liver Tone, that
takes the place of calomel and starts
a lazy liver without any bad after
effects
Dodson's Liver Tone does all the
good that calomel ever did, yet it is
absolutely harmless to young people
and old. 1t is pleasant tasting veg
etable liquid that will relieve const1-
patton or sour stomach or other trou-
bles that go along with a lazy liver
without restriction of habit or diet
You don't leave off any of the things
you regularly do when you take Dod'
sons Liver Tone.
The Peoples drug store sells Dod-
sons Liver Tone and gives it strong
personal guarantee. They say, "A
large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone
sells for so cents, and we will hand
and person back his so cents If ne
tries a bottle and doesn't say that
it does all that calomel ever does and
does it pleasantly. Get the genuine
Dodson's Liver Tone and if you are
not pleased with it we will give your
money back with smile"

Fires Near Ehrhardt.

Last Sunday night about half past
twelve o'clock the barn and stables
of Mr.. J. H. Carter, near Ehrhardt,
were totally destroyed by fire. 1t
is not known how the fire originated.
The blood hounds were procured and
attempts were made to have them
strike a trail, but no trail could be
found, the fire must have originated
from matches in some seed cotton
which was stored in the barn.
All the horses and mules were
saved, but lot of cotton seed and
seed cotton was destroyed, as we'll
as some hay. Part Of the contents
of the building belonged to HERS
Bros, merchants of Ehrhardt.

IN MEMORIAM.

After an illness of several months,
during which time she suffered in
tensely, yet patiently and with
Christian fortitude, Mrs. S. Valeria
Smith passed away at her home near
.Ehrhardt, S. c., on October 21st
and was buried the following day
at the family burying-ground in the
presence of large number of loved
ones and friends.
Mrs. Smith, who before her mar
riage was Miss Ulmer, was born in
Colleton county on April the 9Th
1856. In her early life she was mar
ried to John C. Smith, who preceded
her to the grave ten years ago.
While she was only girl she uni
ted with the Little Saltkeatchie Bap-
tist church, of which she remained
a faithful and consistent member
until few years ago when she re-
moved her membership to the Beth
any Baptisth church, and to this
church she was also a faithful and
devoted member, at times attending
the services of the church when she
was physically unable to 90 so Win
justice to herself.
She was faithful wife and moth
er, and delighted to show kindness
to all who needed her kindly minis
trations. She loved her church, her
friends, and neighbors of whom she
had a large circle. Her life was
spent in doing good within the
the sphere in which she was placed
by Providence. She will be sadly
missed by all who knew and loved
her, but we believe that our loss is
her eternal gain. -
She leaves two sons, D. P. and L..
M. Smith, and two daughters, Mrs.
A. P. Carter and Mrs. J. Williams
Carter, to mourn her loss. May
Heavens sweetest consolation abide
upon them and upon all who are
grieved by her departure.

New Jersey Holds True.

Trenton, n. j., Nov. 5.-The latest
figures indicate that James F. Field
er, Democratic candidate for Govern
or, had a plurality of about $4,000
over Edward c. Stokes, the Repub-
lican candidate. The Democrats will
control both houses of the Legisla-
ture. There is some doubt as to the
result of the contest for State Sena-
tor in Ocean county, but without
this county the Democrats will have
II of the 81 Senators. The lower
house of the Legislature will stand
about 40 Democrats and 20 Republi-
cans.

BIGGEST FARMS BIG WAYS.
Rankin Property in Missouri, Makes
100000 Profit in a Year.

Near Tarkio, Mo-, is the largest till
able farm in the United States the
property of four children of the late
David Rankin. 1t contains $4,000
acres, and last year there were under
cultivation $4,000 acres in corn,
5000 each in wheat and oats, and l.
500 in alfalfa At s125 an acre the
land alone is worth almost $3,0OO,-
600. The profit on the entire farm
for one year recently was 100000.
The farm makes a specially of cat
tie, for which practically all the grain
grown is used. Five thousand cattle
| were fed on the farm last year. 1t
was a theory of David Rankin, and
it is being adhered to in the opera
ton of the farm to-day, that many
| farmers sell too much raw material
and not enough of the finished pro-
| duct. To an inquirer he said once:
Il find it profitable to feed corn, and
I gain an immense amount of fertl-
lizer. Thus I leave my farm as rich
as I found it,
Horses and mules are not permit
| ted to grow old on the Rankin farms.
Every year a sale is held there where
every horse and mule that has reach
ed a respectable age is disposed of.
Practically every year the stables are
filled with a fresh population of work
animals, insuring the maximum of
| efficiency. At the last sale 357 horses
| and mules were sold and the proceeds
| of the sale netted more than $685.
| 600. Buyers come hundreds of miles
to Tarkio to attend these sales.
No manufacturing concern in
| America keeps a closer tab on its
business than do the Rankin farms.
In a little office about II by IA feet,
in the rear of the First National
Bank of Tarkio, two clerks and an
adding machine are busy with books
from one years end to the other.
The farm is divided into 10 ranches
ranging from $40 to 4,760 acres.
Five ranches are operated on part
nership basis, the owners furnishing
the land against the labor of the
partners.
A record of every transaction on
the farm is Kept at the central office.
Not a pound of soap, not box of
matches is bought without requisi-
ton, signed by the foreman if the
farm is operated directly or by the
partner if the farm is operated on the
partnership plan. Each foreman and
partner must submit monthly re-
| port which is virtually an inventory
| of the whole area and stock and
machinery. When the books are bal
| anced at the close of the year a
statement is made just as complete as
any business corporation could sub
nit.
The farm is not as large by more
than 1000 acres as it was when Da-
vid Rankin died in 1909. One thous-
and acres were sold last Summer and
| 1000 acres a year ago. One of the
axioms of David Rankin was: Never
sell the farm But the heirs of
Mr.. Rankin are trying to make the
farm more compact, so that it can be
operated with greater economy.
Eventually it will probably be reduc-
ed to about $1,000 acres and divided
among the four heirs.
But if the Missouri farm acreage
has been reduced the loss has been
| made up in other States. The Ran
kin estate recently bought 4,500
acres of land near Liberal Kan, and
about 5000 acres near O'Neill, Neb.
