interest lag, and fail to grow, and
frequently people are at loss to
know the cause.
We have had the occasion Of
late to make some investigations
along this line and we confess we
have been amazed at the growth
of some Of our neighbor towns.
In every instance the good free
school Of the town is pointed to as
the towns greatest asset. More
families have moved into these
towns because Of the school than
from any other reason. 2
We also find that these schools
cost something. They are not run
on a mere pittance, bat the citi-
zens realizing their value, are will
ling to pay the cost. The town
that fails to have a good high
grade school, with free tuition to
those living in the town within
school age, makes a serious mis-
take.

The closing of the |. I S. this
week has given our people an OPP
portunity of seeing something of
the work being done by this
splendid institution of learning.
We have had occasion lately to
make some Investigations as to
this school and the work being ac-
complished. We do not claim to
be an expert along this line, but
we do believe we are capable Of
knowing a good school when we
see it, and we believe Prof. Bayer
is doing a fine work, and has one
of the very best schools, of its
kind to be found in this end of
the state. Fine work has been
done this year. There has never
been a better grade of students.
The work has been most satisfac-
tory and the students leave with a
good opinion of the school and Of
the town.

SCHOOL AN ASSET

The greatest asset any town can
have is a good school. Parents
all over the country are seeking to
give their children the very best
educational opportunities possible.
Many families are leaving their
farms and moving to town where
they can get more satisfactory
school facilities. The town shat
offers the best along this line gets
these families. Towns with good
free schools prosper and grow in
population while those towns that
do not look we'll after the school

Most Promt and Effectuai Cure For
Bad Colds

When you have a bad cold you
want a remedy that will not only
give relief, but effect prompt and

contains nothing injurious. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy meets all
these requirements. 1t acts on
natures plan, relieves the lungs,
aids expectoration, opens the Sc
cretions and restores the system to
a healthy condition. This remedy
has a world wide sale and use, and

THE ROAD QUESTION

The repair and maintenance of
public roads, SO as TO get the very
best results, involve questions Of
interest to every farmer. How to
work roads and when to work
them are questions Of Importance.
Shall the roads be worked as the
law directs and with means fur
nished by the county2 Are these
adequate9
Mr.. Logan Waller Page, direc-
tor, office public roads, United
States department of agriculture,
at Washington, after many years
experience 10 dealing with the
public road situation of the coun-
try has reached the belief that
ignorance on the subject of re-
pair and maintenance of roads is
as much the cause Of their bad con-
dition as any other factor.
There may be something in this
statement, but perhaps our road
commissioner and the contractors
under him, would be slow to adj
nit that this cause could apply to
them. They may, however, ad-
init that they do not know all
about the question, and are open
to suggestions as to best methods.
We do not believe the trouble
Is so much that Of ignorance as it
j., lack of civic pride. Our peo-
pie know more along this line than
tley are willing to do. Instead Of
making the meager means at hand
80 as far as possible the rule seems
Is be to do just as little as possible
SO as not to co ne under the ban of
tie law. If they we're actuated
b civic pride, high regard for
their respective communities, a
desire to do the very best service
at leir command, the roads, in
our opinion, would be much bet
ter maintained. Some communi-
ties have cen thus actuated in
their work and their roads are in
good condition.
A desire to make your COM
munity the best community, your
roads the best roads and willing
ness to back up these desires with
earnest labor will make much bet
ter the road conditions.

PANICS

When, a few years ago, SAL
100000 was to be shipped out Of
this country in payment for rights
to the Panama canal, grave finan-
ciers and economists solemnly dis
cussed the probability Of a tinan-
cial panic as the result Of such a
loss.
A bank or great mercantile
house fails for a.few millions, and
instantly in every commercial cen
ter of the land credit is affected
and panic threatened.
And yet the staggering sum Of
100000, 900 or more is suddenly
wiped out OF existence in Ohio
and Indiana, but credit stands as
if nothing had happened, and finan-
cial panic is the last thing thought
of.
What a striking illustration is
here presented Of the inconsistency
and Stiffness that lie in the basis Of
panics!
Nowhere is there thought Of
anything but to rebuild at once,
and to build better than before.

SOMETHING ABOUT BONDS
An Issue Could Be Used TO Great
Advantage
Editor Democrats:

Dear Sir: There is herewith
enclosed one brand new one dollar
bill, which please apply to thepay-
ment Of a years subscription to
the Carroll County Democrat. 1t
certainly seems like small amount
Of money to pay for such an en-
terprising, strictly local paper as
is the Democrat. What mean
by local is that your great body of
subscribers is drawn from the
county, but as to the news find
that the county items are given in
full, the state news concisely and
the news of national Importance is
boiled down to minimum. There
fore the readers of the Democrat
get not only the local news, but
are as well informed as are the
readers of an associated press pa
per-
In a recent issue | notice that
one of the adjoining counties voted
a bond issue for the purpose of
constructing good roads. This
seems like very good scheme to
me, and might we'll be considered
by the taxpayers OF our county.
Some people are against anything
that looks like borrowing money,
for they seem to think that it
places burdens in increased taxa
tion on them without any compen-
sating benefit. This is true where
the money is expended merely for
the sake of giving a job to some
one out of employment, but where
the money is spent for real public
improvements like good roads, i'm
proved school facilities and drain
age projects, it is the wisest sort
Of business policy.
Let US say that Carroll county
issues a loan for 5000, 900, the
bonds to be payable in 90 or 30
years. At 5 per interest this loan
would cost the taxpayers $4,000
per annum, which to the individ-
ual would be small indeed. The
proceeds of this loan properly ex-
pended in public Improvements
would, in a period of 3 or 4 years,
enhance the value of real estate in
the county double the amount Of
the loan, and for this large in
creased value, the taxpayer would
have been out Of pocket only $780,
900 or $4,000. Yes, butt the
wiley taxpayer says, You must
create sinking fund to pay off
the debt at its maturity. The an
swer is that it may be done, but it
may be arranged so that the in
creased taxation for this purpose
is postponed SO that the taxpayer
will have time to reap the bene-
fits of the taxation. However, it
is not absolutely necessary that
this be done, for at maturity the
loan may be extended for a longer
period. Some of the large Eastern
railroads are issuing century loans,
and so has the state of Virginia a
century loan at the remarkable
low rate of 3 per cent interest per
annum.
1t is a good thing to be out of
debt, but credit is the very soul of
progress, especially where the
terms are easy. A county bond
issue would provide class of high
grade, interest-paying security for
safe investment. The money be-
ing spent in the county would pro-
vide employment for great num-
Der Of people, and the circulating
medium of the county would be
not only by the proceeds
Of the loan, but by the evidence of
the loan itself.

Although not less than 80 per cent

The Sheppard vote, however. is eX-
peCted to go rather sOlidly to Bur
well, apparently making that gentle
mans chances of election just that
much more certain.
Representative Hardeman says he
will remain in the race TO the finish,
and still believes that he has a chance
Of election, but the impression I'M
doubtedly is that Rurwell has won the
race and that it is all over but the

than 130 votes on the first ballot,
which is we'll over two-thirds of the
