MATTERS FOR THE CONSIDERATION
OF THE GOOD ROADS ORGANIZATION.

an equitable law to protect its
useand abuse Much money has
been spent in Christian county out
Of the general fund, and by public
subscriptions. that is now simply a
matter of history, and the results
we're that the last stage of the roads
was worse than the first.
Christian county, it is claimed by
some, has never at any time built
any pixies capable of sustaining such
tonnage in the shape of saw logs or
any other kind of loads as the Brad
shaw pike and GAINESVILLE pike is
being alternately subjected to and
will be for the next six months, and
maybe eight months.
AS the first story has not been
built, the SECOND story will soon be
matter of having seen better days, |
and the last stage will be worse than
the first, from the fact that we are
still owing the money, borrowed to
build that which we have allowed to
be DIES royed from abuse and failure !,
to give reasonable attention to.
Now at the last meeting, in ar
ranging a program for the next
meeting, committee of one was APP
pointed to investigate the road laws
of Kentucky as it pertains to the
protection of the roads. of course,
do not know who that committee
will be, but realizing the fact that
all the efforts and expense that may
be put in this matter will be as sure
ly wasted and go for naught now,
as it has in the past, (present condi-
tons will support this statement).
Twill take the liberty to request
the president to invite the present
county officials who have charge of
the road matters in any shape or
form, and that you include in this
invitation, the retiring county road |
supervisor and the newly appointed |
road supervisor, and have the gentle
men tell what each of their duties
are las authorized by law in regard |
to maintenance and protection of |
public roads, Some of these gentle
men have had long experience in this
line of work and can supply the citi-
zens with the information necessary
to determine upon some authority of |
law, the course to pursue. And as
this organization is intended to work
in harmony with the county officials,
justice demands their presence that
they may work together and give
needed information to prevent any
resolution that may be- antagonistic1
to any existing law. that governs
them in the discharge of their duties
as officers or subjects them to any
If this request should meet with
the approval of any citizen or of all
the citizens of the county, will they
please make known their wishes to |
the President S. L. Cowherd?
Very Respectfully,
ELBRIDGE BRADSHAW.

Melba Loses Voice
During Boston Opera

BOSTON, March 7.-One of the
most pathetic and dramatic incidents
on the opera stage in Boston took
place at the Boston Opera House this
afternoon when Madam Nellie Melba
appeared before the footlights in the
costume of Mimi in "LaBoheme,"
and in an almost inaudible tone told
her audience that she had been eX-
pecting to sing, but had suddenly lost
her voice,
The great diva said her physician
had warned her that it would be dan
gerous for her to attempt to sing.
81 am deeply grieved to disappoint
you, my friends" said the prima dom
ma, "but hope to make up for it in
some other way later"
A part of the audience left.

Mrs. Crawford Wins
In Famous Will Case
Auditors Report Declares Testator
Was Of Sound Mind When He
Drew instrument.

The report of Auditor James L.
Anderson on the famous Crawford
will case handed down Saturday aft
ernoon sustains the will Of Joshua B.
Crawford, leaving his entire estate TO
his widow.
The report of the auditor goes to
the judge for confirmation. A bill Of
exceptions may be filed by the heirs,
but if the, judge confirms the audi
tors report the finish will be writ
ten in the case. ~
The report declares that, judging
from the volume of evidence in the
case, Joshua B. Crawford was of
sound mind and fully capable of con-
tracing marriage at the time of his
wedding. II declares that ne was
at any time a drunkard, as alleged by
the contesting heirs, or that he was
drunk at the time of the wedding.
The report states that Mrs. Craw-
ford did not fraudulently induce
Joshua B. Crawford to enter into the
marriage.
The report says that inasmuch as
she had heard nothing of her former
husband for seven years preceding the
marriage to Crawford, the laws of
Georgia rendered the first marriage
invalid.

"Beware Of the Soubrette," the
Vice President Adds; "She's
the DEVILS Own"
DRINK STICK TO GENUINE
BIames Stress Of Business for
Lack Of 0scuIatory Practice
in the Home.

NEW YORK, March kiss your
wife at least once day"
Such is Vice President Thomas r.
Marshalrs prescription for the d.
vorce evil He said so himself in
an address at the Bedford Branch of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton in Brooklyn.
The audience applauded him.
"The Puritan of to-day" said Mr..
Marshall, lis great deal different
from the original Puritan. The spirit
of the times is changing the whole
world, and progress sometimes means
straying from the narrow path.
THE old Puritan lived a righteous
life. He even went so far as to abb
stain from kissing his wife on Sun
day. And may add. he abstained
from kissing his neighbours wife on
any day of the week.
Kiss Every Day.
"A wifely kiss is the foundation Of
the home-in fact, of the entire ma
ton. I advise every man to kiss his
wife at least once a day. The old
Puritan always followed this rule;
but, through the stress of business,
the Puritan of to-day is rather neg
lectful in that respect.
1T does not pay to get rid of atifs
ld-fashioned wife and put the little
soubrette in her place. For If you do
the little soibrette will lead you the
devils own dance"
Again the audience broke out in
applause.
81 do not know anything about
Tammany Hall" went on the Vice
President, land / never fed the Tiger
on raw meat. But If all that is printed
in the New York papers is true, every
citizen in this community needs a
policeman to protect him from being
eaten alive.
Religion Beats Legislation.
"There is a religious revival all
over the country to-day, and this Is
doing more for the uplift of the people
than all the legislation at Washing
ton.
Il have no use for the man who
goes to his lawyer to find out whether
the money he's got belongs to him or
to somebody else.
I'm sorry the Young Mems Chris
tan Association was necessity in
our land, but ! am glad the necessity
was met the way it was.
IF the good old Presbyterian belief
were universal in America, We still
would have the old fashioned Puritan
with U.S."
Mr.. Marshall said he earnestly
hoped that nobody in the audience
drank liquor But IL you do" he
added. get the real. genuine stuff,
no substitute under a pretense name. "
The audience roared.

Miss Wilma VIM, Of Virginia,
Declared by Noted Sculptor of
France to Excel in u. S.

NEW YORK, March lit is left for
a Southern girl to win new and I'M
precedented laurels in New York.
Miss Wilma Winn, a Virginia girl,
has the most beautiful feet in Amer
ica-and perhaps the world-accord-
ing to Paul Chevri, a famous French
sculptor, who should know.
And with this declaration, follow
ing the sculptor's enthusiastic work
in modelling Miss Winns feet, comes
another interesting declaration. 1t is
a defense OF dancing. for Miss Winn
declares she owes her beautifully
symmetrical feet to her love for
dancing. She would select dancing
as one of the most healthful, recrea-
tive and generally beneficial exer-
cises.
Exercise in Bare Feet"
would YOU have beautiful feet"
Miss Winn asks the world OF women
through her interviewer Then
dance. And why shouldn't dancing
be good for the feet? Calisthenics
benefits the body. and so certain ex-
ercises for the feet and ankles will
make for beauty such as the old
Greek sculptors used to revel in.
Exercising in the bare feet or in
sandals every day will make the feet

course, play an important part III the

New Counties.

The Raleigh Times seems to be
considerably exercised about the
movement for more counties in North
Carolina. The State now has an
even 100 and the figures are likely
to remain there for some years to
come. The new county agitation
originates in most cases from polltl-
cal motives to create more court
houses and more jobs. The last
legislature put somewhat Of quiet
US upon the movement, not even
giving the High Point people any en-
couragementr The High Point en-
deavor is perhaps the only one that
has any practical merit to it, the
population, wealth and extent of
territory of Guifor1 lending color to
the claim of the need of court house
facilities at the furniture town. 1t
is probable that in the end a new
c)unty will be created in Guilford
Dut the other projects are rather in
the nature of foriorn hopes. In later
years the Legislature has been dis
posed to SidetraCk sentiments tor

creation of A new county will have
to be backed by business reasons of
a substantial character-in other
