Political Reforms Welcomed.

There is general effort being made to bring about the purity in politics that the people have been clamOring for in recent years. Whether the elimination of part ies wifi have the desired effect re- mains 70 be seen. It is being tried in the smallest unit of govern ment at present (the cities and towns), and if it works there can be given furt her trials in county and state. The commission form of government being adopted in many towns and cities. seems to be gaining in favor. Of course, any government depends on the character of mn en who administer it, but the responsibility is so di- rect in the commission .form"t that it seems to have a good effect on the officehOlder. Political reforms that promise relief from the old conditions, which were so un- satisfactory, are welcomed by the mass of people.

GRAIN AND MEAT
 MUST PAY DUTY
Democrats Favor Duty on Imports From Countries Which Tax
 Similar American Imports

Washington, D. c., June g. The Democratic majority of the Senate finance committee have decided to place a duty on all lm- ports of meat, live stock, grain or flour, which is imported into this country from any country which has a duty on American imports of similar products.
 The fight for duty on meats, -four, grain and live stock has been made by the grange and live stock associations of the, west, who say that they cannot com pete with the foreign cheap labor and sell at profit.
 If the change in the tariff is agreed to by the Senate and low er House it will keep out of Amer ica the Canadian beef and grain, as that country imposes a duty on our meats and grains.

COAL HEARINGS
 IN SPIRIT CITY
Dep artment of the Interior Would Cancel Wilioughby Lo-
 cations.

Seattle, June 9.--The hearings in the case of the government against lhe lOcatOrS of the Wil- lOughby locations of coal claims in the Boring district started day. The government is deIer- mined to contest the issuing of patents because of lack of work done by the owners prior to the location of claims.
 Nell Mcdonald, a prnspector. one of he witnesses. testified that the C laim was one of the best in the Bering. section and that ma ture had done all the work. The outcrOppings of coal on the claim were exposed for many hundreds of feet. He also testified that no work had been done by the lOca- tors to open the ground to prove they had mine, as it was his, and the opinion of every other man, who hau seen the claims, ladt ihe work done by nature proved beyond a peradventure of ii hcubj that lht claims were val uable.
 The Department of the Interior is determined, however, to insist that the law was violated because of the failure to open the claims prior to the filing of applications for patent.

ROAD WORK IN THE MOuNTAINs
Bright Outlook for the Walhalla-to-
Highlands Automobile Road.

Mountain Rest, Nov. l0.-Special:
Work will begin to-day on the Gcor-
gia section Of the automobile road,
commencing at the bridge spanning
ChattOOga river and continuing on to
the North Carolina line. under the
supervision OF John Nix, as foreman
Of Squad No. |, and Andy Handy,
foreman Of Squad No. 9. Both OF
these gentlemen nave the reputation
Of being active and careful worker
and We may expect good and sub
Stantial results from them as good
road builders. They will push their
part to completion as rapidly as cir
CumStanCcS will permit. Commence
ing at the village Of Pine Mountain,
there will be an entirely new road
built, about two or three miles long
which will interSeCt with the old
road well up the mOuntainside, with
easy grade, probably about per
cent.
Commencing at the bridge over
ChattOoga river on tho South Caro-
lima side, we have Alf Whitmire and
b. Nicholson, with fine gang Of
hands, doing excellent work on the
cutoff running through w. G. Rus
sells field. When this work is COM
pleted an easy grade will be had
around this hill, which has been so
long dreaded by the travelling public
Coming further this way we have
Albert NJ. Brown with his efficient
force, making a road which is first
class in every particular, about three
quarters Of mile of which is entirely
new and Of easy grade. Mr. Brown
is making good progress with his sec
ton Of road, and calculates to have
1t ready in time for spring travel, if
not before.
Highlands is also forging ahead
with her part Of the work, which has
advanced about three miles this side
of Highlands, one mile Of which is
entirely new and easy grade.
Hampton Pell is reported as max
ing good progress on the Cashiers
Valley end Of the old turnpike road
and the work is proceeding with con-
siderable enthusiasm.
SO we are made aware of the fact
that there is something doing on this
end OF the line, with very bright
prospect for completed automobile
road between Walhalla and High
lands in the not distant future.
lt is pleasure also to know that
the work done by Civil Engineers
liughS and Harrison on the South
Earolina side is first class in every
way, and from what can learn from
others Mr.. Wright is doing equally
as well in Georgia and North Caro-
lima. SO with long pun. and a
strong pull. and pull altogether"
we viii soon have road that will be
a thlng Of beauty. and perhaps a JOY
forever" w II Doy
