Second-lt VIII give the peopi0 %
Hillsboro county ssventy-nve miles OF
. brick roads, with concrete bradses
both practically indestructble.
Third-The comfy is now spendinS
100000 annually in MAINTAINING the
said seventy-five miles Of so-called
rock road, despite that it IL almost Inn
passable in wet weather.
Fourth-The 100000 spent annually
will pay the interest on the 100000
bond issue and provide . sinking fund
which will retire every bond 1T the
maturity period.
Fifth--Three Of our most prominent
bankers have agreed to act N trus'
tees of these bonds. and viii serve
without charge. thus saving the county
enough to nay the salary OF q compe-
tent engineer and superintendent.
Bonds can not be sold below par ana
no commission will be paid.
Sixth-The county commissioners
have agreed to appoint competent
superintendent or engineer eatis1ac-
tory to the board Of trade.
Seventh-The county commissioners
have agreed to buy the vitrified brick
in lots of a million or more. from the
lowest bidder, after due advertisement,
said brick to be submitted to standard
tests.
Eighth-Au roads are to be built by
contracts and contracts are to b let
to the lowest responsible bidder, after
due advertisement.
Ninth-It is further agreed between
the Tampa beard of trade and the
county commission that there shall be
no increase in taxes.
Tenth-The county annually collects
and has for years collected $1S0,eOo Tor
roads. The interest on 100000 Of
bonds and the sinking fund will only
require $4,000 annually, leaving bal
ance of $4,000 which can be used
either in building more brick roads
from year to year or in actually re-
ducing the tax levy.
The roads will vary in width from
nine to twenty-four feet, according to
their location. In sections where the
travel is heavy the roads will be OF
greater width than where the traffic
is light. Where hard surfaced roads
now exist a trench will be dug. the
vitrified bricks laid therein, and the
material taken from the trench will be
placed on either side Of the brick and
tamped. thereby adding to the width
and giving plenty Of room for turn
outs on the narrow roads
The value of these bricks roads to
Hillsboro county can not be estimated.
While many thousand permanent set
tiers will come as result the in
creased number of tourists which these
good roads will bring to the county
will doubtless spend enough to cover
their cost long before the date Of the
retirement Of the bonds. Hillsboro hav-
ing set the pace. it Is question OF
only few years when every county
between Tampa and Jacksonville will
build a brick highway. forming link
in the more than 2o0-mile chain con-
Meeting the two cities. A number OF
counties in south Florida have this
year bonded for good roads. bond cleo
/ ,ions have been ordered in others, and
{ soon motorists will be able to spend

GOVERNOR CLARKES CAMPAIGN.
[Des Moines Register and Leader.l
One or two newspapers are still
criticising Governor Clarke because
he has taken up the cudgels for the
capitol extension act and is going
about the state explaining the legis-
lation for which he was and for which
he holds himself largely responsible.
The fact that criticism has dwindled
to one or two newspapers is enough Of
itself to vindicate his course. If there
were any real Ground for criticism
dozens Of newspapers would be apply
ing the lash in a manner to force him
out Of the field.
Not only have the newspapers
abandoned capitol extension as de-
batable proposition, but the people
themselves are coming to take a sen.
sible view and to see that SO long as
there was no scandal, 50 long as no
interest was profited, 30 long as the
burden falls equally upon the state
and 50 long as the legislature voted
fairly and honestly, without compul-
sion and without an ak to grind, Il
is absurd to make SO much outcry
over half mill tax levy. when in every
township and school district there are
several half mill levies much entitled
to investigation.

gress along material lines. The latese
evidence of such progress is the for
nation Of q company to build q mod

did not call on outside capital to fur
nish the money. It was all subscribed
by home business men who thus gave
substantial evidence Of the faith they
have in their own city.

IOWA NEEDS DEBT.

There is nothing CT pride to take in

The business man without debt Is. as

Chicago Savants Upset Theory of
Earth's Rightly; Interior
Not Seething,

CHICAGO, April Modern sci
entific investigation has cut the guy
ropes Of another long cherished pop
ular belief and allowed it to sail away
and vanish in thin air
Physicists at the University Of Chi
caso. led by Professor Albert S.
Nicholson Nobel prize winner, have
upset the theory that the interior of
the earth is a molten mass of seeth-
ing gases.
They declare, on the other hand.
that the interior Of our planet resists
the .idal forces of the moon IS though
il were made of solid steel.
But. in snite of this high rigidity,
they have found the earth behaves
like an elastic body. not liquid, of
course. but subject to the same inf1u-
ences as the oceans which cover most
of it's surface.
The experiments were designed by
Professor Nicholson, head of the de-
partment Of physi S at the University
of Chicago. at the suggestion Of Pro-
fessor T. G. Chamberlin. of the de-
partment Of geology and Professor
F. 3. Moulton of the department of

That Walter Wise, former Solicit
tor General Of the Flint Circuit ~
the Superior Court. is squarely in ~
race for Congress from Nhe SiXta
District. with all his bridges burned
behind him no longer is a matter Of
speculation or doubt He has an
nounced unequivocally in various
newspapers throughout the sixth Dis
tract that he is a candle to, and they
have been. without exception, full Of
comment upon the subject.
Whether Judge Bartlett will be a
candidate to succeed himself does not
seem absolutely clear although the
judge some time ago was credited
with a statement. apparently of an
authoritative character to the effect
that he will offer once more.
When last Judge Bartlett was
candidate, ne stated that he then did
not expect to run again that his
present term would be his tenth, and
that it was his ambition to round cut
a full twenty years in Congress be
fore retiring from public life. He is
the dean of the Georgia COMPRESSION
al delegation. as it is at present con
stituted, ranking Judge Adamson by
one term
In the race between Judge Bartlett
and Mr.. Wise last time only the final
count served to settle the question OF
victory On the face of the returns,
Wise seemed to have won, but later
counts gave a plurality Of the vote to
the Judge and he accordingly was de-
clared the nominee AS it was. how
ever. Wise won by a wide margin in
the county unit votes
Walter Wise has been looked upon
generally throughout Georgia for
long time as fine Congressional ma
terial 1t is doubtful whether any
man in the district other than Judge
Bartlett could have defeated the Fay

Judge Bartlett should decide not to
