TAKING CARE OF ROADS.
from the Nashville Herald.

From the Nashville Herald.
While millions of dollars are being
spent in Georgia in building public
roads through a short-sighted policy,
little is being done toward their
maintenance, observes The Dawson
News. After the roads Of a county
are laid out and are being travelled,
the question of maintenance and re-
pair, both for bridges and culverts,
and also for the road surface itself,
is continually with us. The effort to
have a system of good roads over a
long period of years is much more a
question of maintenance than it is
anything else. Anyone can see this
who will think a minute. We all
know that it is impossible to build a
road that will last always and it be-
comes necessary to do something to
it if it is kept in good condition. This
is just where the question of mainte-
nance comes in. If it is not attended
to it will soon be gone.
A large per cent. of the millions
that have been spent in Georgia for
good roads represents nothing but
waste. We may we'll emulate the
rule of the railroad in this matter.
What do you suppose would become
of railroad track and right of way
if, after having built them, it did not
set aside every year a fixed amount
for their upkeep? 1t would not be
long before it would be unable to
send trains over it's tracks. Unless
we form the habit of taking care of
roads after we build them We will
continue to waste a considerable part
of what we spend in making good
roads.

A LETTER FROM MIR. RIVES.

Editor Dawson News: That lynch
law is essentially lawless is proven by
the trend of public opinion in the
Nick Wilburn, the Cantrell, and the
case of that doctor, whose name es-
capes me now, all of whose cases
were parallel. At the time Of the
commission of the crime, sentimen-
talists-lynchers in theory and fact
called for summary vengeance, but
time passed. passion cooled and the
same class is prepared, through the
ballot, to lynch Governor Slaton for
refusing to commute the just SEN
tence of the law in the two first
cases. Now, l am not a supporter
of Governor Slaton, did not vote for
him for governor in the primary, and
because Just as good men are offer
ing for the United States senate from
other portions of the state, and At
lanta already has one senator, who
will be returned, shall not vote for
Governor Slaton for senator, but l
do admire him and the prison COM
mission for upholding the punish
ment of murder by due process of
| law and not yielding to sickly SEN
timentality that in the heat OF pas
sion would defy law and lynch with
out regard to proof of guilt. When
law has spoken, judges have been
found who hold their office for the
good of the whole people; juries who
are able to look beyond weeping rela-
tives and legal subtleties, and see the
outraged law and menace to life and
property, and executives who dare to
| look to their oaths and not to popu-
I lar clamor, which cries on Tuesday
'Hosannah," and on Friday Cruel
fy," and see that the law is executed
upon criminals. But it has been ever
! thus, and unless men who aspire to
stations of responsibility are willing
to abide the consequences of doing
their duty they had best remain in
private life, and there had best be
very quiet, else the lawless, with
whom their desire to uphold law will
come in contact, will find ways and
means to take vengeance-even per-
jury appearing as small matter, II
it stands in the way of their venom.
But the prayer of all good men will
ever be God give us men; men
whom the glare of office cannot lure,
the greed of office cannot buy, and
the venom of men cannot scare" The
quotation is from memory, but is the
substance of the sentiment. There
fore, ito him that knOweth to do
good, and doeth it not to him it is
sin, or, as the full translation has
it, the sin.

Makes BACKACHE
QUICKLY DISAPPEAR
A Few Doses Relieves All Such
Miseries. Bladder Weakness,
Kidney Trouble and Rheu-
matism Promptly Vanish

1t is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backaching, kid
ney trouble, have disagreeable blad--
der and urinary disorders to contend
with, or be tortured with rheuma
tism, stiff joints, and its heart
wrenching pains, for the new discov-
cry Croxone, quickly and surely re-
lieves all such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for Kidding the
system of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. 1t is entirely
different from all other remedies. 1t
is not like anything else ever used
for the purpose. 1t acts on the prln-
ciple of cleaning out the pOisons and
removing the cause.
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, like water IN
sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and
makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away, all the uric acid and pOisons
from the blood, and leaves the kid
neys and urinary organs clean,
strong, healthy and well.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
YOU have used, the very principle Of
Croxone is such, that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. There is
nothing else on earth like it. It
starts to work the minute you take it
and relieves you the first time you
use it.
If you suffer with pains in your
back and sides, or have any signs OF
kidney, bladder troubles, or rheuna-
tism, such as puffy swellings under
the eyes or in the. feet and ankles, II
you are nervous, tired, and run down
or bothered with urinary disorders
Croxone will quickly relieve you OF
your misery. You can secure an orig
inal package of Croxone at triAing
cost from any frst-class druggist
All druggists are authorized to per
sonally return the purchase price II d
fails in single case.

HOME is THE PLACE TO
JUDGE A TRUE MAN
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
The place to take true man S
measure is not in the market place
or in the amen corner, nor in the
forum or in the field, but by his own
fireside. There he lays aside his
mask and you may learn whether he
is imp or angel, king or cur, hero or
humbug. We care not what the world
SAYS of him-whether they crown
him or pelt him with bad eggs; we
care not a copper what his reputation
or religion may be; if his better half
swallows her heart every time she
asks him for a five dollar bill, he's
fraud of the first water, even though
he prays night and morning, till he
is black in the face and shouts hal
lelujah until he shakes the eternal
hills. But if his children rush to the
front gate to greet him and loves
sunshine illumines the face Of his
wife when she hears his footsteps,
you can take it for granted that he
is true gold, for his home is a heaven
and the humbug never gets that near
the white throne of God.

some of our progressive, hospitable

A Fulton county citizen who in
dulges in a bit of farming occasion
ally has just sold his crop from an
acre in onions. He made 100 bushels
on the acre, which brought him S2'1 .
a bushel. AS the cultivation OF the
crop was only SIS, he had a neat
nrofit of 1858. If a man in Fulton
county can make that much OFF an
acre of onions, how much could a
Tiff county farmer make? asks the
Triton Gazette. The big drawback to
growing onions and other truck IN
South Georgia is the uncertainty OF
the seasons. Here in Terrell county
q large acreage in truck products was
planted this year for the first time,
and in most instances the drouth
practically ruined the crops. The
new industry, which promised to
grow into large business, has re-
ceived a serious blow.

Rural Origin of City Typhoid

We are coming to the season OF
the year usually marked in our cities
by the annual spring increase of ty-
nhoid. attributed to infectious mate
rails carried by freshets into water
supplies. There has recently been a
protest against what is called the
rural origin of typhoid.
Typhoid is usually considered to
be mainly, if not almost entirely, a
water-borne disease. There is no
doubt that drinking water has been
responsible for the great majority of
cases in large cities. Yet the water
seems to be slightly, if at all, respon-
sible for typhoid in New York.
The proportion of cases to the pop
ulation of the five boroughs of Man
haitian, The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens
and Richmond, is about the same,
though each borough has a special
water supply.
The more carefully the sources of
New York's typhoid infections have
been studied, the more frequently has
milk been discovered to be the chief
vehicle of infection. Efforts at con-
troll have resulted in decided improve
ment, but the education of the dairy
man is a slow process, and dairy
farming is still largely in the hands
Of the ignorant.
After milk the most common source
of typhoid fever in New York is in
lection of the patient while out OF
town. About one-quarter of all New
York's typhoid infections are Of this
origin. While it is impossible to give
any exact figures, over half the ty-
phoid infections are probably of rural
origin.
Any attempt on the part of New
York further to reduce the incidence
and the mortality of typhoid must
consider the lessening of typhoid in
the country places from which water
milk and food are drawn. During the
past three years there have been an
average of about $500 cases of the
disease in the city, and about $50
deaths. This is too large a death
rate to be neglected.
The problem in New York is the
same as that in other states. AS oul
knowledge of sanitation grows, says
the Journal of the American Medica
association, we realize that the health
of the individual depends largely OF
the community in which he lives, anC
that the health Of community de
ponds to a great extent on the healtl
of other communities having com
merciaI and other relations with it.
It is, therefore, all important t
secure by general legislation such i'm
provements of the health of smalle
places as will assure large cities fror
being contaminated by them in tn
course of commercial relations. ProI
erly directed this will not infict
burden on the smaller communitie
but on the contrary by improyin
their health will prove of the create
possible benefit.

that l had been so kindly remember
ed. We got the "Wanderer" ready
and left the landing at the iron
bridge at 1926 and arrived at our
destination, a distance of ten miles,
in a little over one hour.
The people had gathered on the
banks of the river about one mile
below the Red Hill. The whole party
was rejoiced to see the good boat
cutting the water straight for the
seine yard landing. After all had
disembarked the old skipper stepped
ashore also. A spell came over him
that caused him to look away back
and as his eyes looked over the
smooth and unruffied' bosom OF the
river, he well remembered standing
sixty-three years ago or the same
spot. l was in company with a party
going on a hunt. At Camping Pond
we had stopped to eat dinner and
while resting, my old friend, ] j
Reardon, and myself agreed to swim
across the river. 1t was about the

rides in the boat and all seemed to
enjoy it so much, which made me
feel quite we'll paid for the trip, but
the greatest pleasure of the day to
me, more than dinner or anything
else, was to crafty the wish of one
dear afflicted lady who was unable
to walk. She expressed wish to
ride in the boat and was borne into
it in the arms ofhusband and friends.
The good boat, the "Wanderer'

that dear but pitiful burden, with
her "chug-chug" she cut the current,
making a safe and pleasant trip. |
