THE LIVE STOCK EXPERT.

Through the action Of the county
commissioners Monday in making an
appropriation Of $500 a year towards
defraying the salary and expenses OF
a live stock expert for Halifax cour-
ty, great movement has finally
been launched which portends great
things for this good old county Of
Halifax in years to come if the farm
crs will only avail themselves Of his
services and learn how to grow cat
tie and hogs to the greatest profit to
themselves, and cut out SO much
acreage in cotton and peanuts This
appropriation will be supplemented
by the United States agricultural
department through the direction of
Mr.. Hudson, State demonstration
agent, who will appoint live stock
man and locate him in Scotland
Neck the whole year.
Sometime ago a number Of bust
ness nen and farmers, realizing
that real crisis was at hand, set to

In to.day's News, Judge John
E. Newman, of Nelson county,
announces his candidacy for
Railroad Commissioner in the
Second district, subject to the
action of the Democratic voters
expressed at the primary to be
held Saturday, August Z. There
is no better qualified man in the
district for this position than
Judge Newman, as he is perfect
ly familiar with the railroad
business. He has spent more
than ten years of his life in the
actual and practical solution of
the rate problems, and by reason
of his correct knowledge of such
matters, Mr.. c. c. McChord
when he was Chairman of the
Kentucky Railroad Commission,
induced Mr.. Newman to come
into the office and take charge
of the rate department. Mr..
Newman is a tried and true
Democrat, a gentleman who
stands high wherever he is
known for sterling character,
his walk in life being that of an
upright citizen, standing for the
right upon all questions touch
ing the interest of the people.
Until last week he was a perfect
stranger to the people of Adair
county, but in short visit, he
made a most favorable impress
sion. He asks the Democrats of
Adair and adjoining counties to
take his candidacy under con-
sideration, feeling that a favor
able conclusion will be reached
after an investigation. He prom
ises, should he be nominated and
elected, to make a faithful. con-
scientious officer, not forgetting
to feel grateful to the people
who placed him in the position.

DIXIE HIGHWAY.

What of this Dixie Highway
of which we hear so much tall? ?
Tell me about it? 1t seems from
the papers that every city and
town in the county is trying to
get it.
Well, that is so. They all see
the Importance of securing it.
and it means very much to those
that succeed-the fortunate
ones.
1t is proposed line of high
way extending from the city of
Chicago ILL.,, to the Atlantic sea
coast on the southeast of Florida.
1t will also be extended hundreds
of miles beyond Chicago to the
northwest.
Who are proposing to build the
road?
The people along the line.
When do they expect to COM
plete it?
1t is expected that it will be in
reasonably good condition for
travel within the next eighteen
months. The larger part of it
has already been constructed.
Will it receive aid from any
other source?
1t is believed by we'll informed
persons that the General govern
ment will at a very early day
turn its attention to public roads,
and that these great thorough
fares -the Lincoln Highway and
the Dixie Highway, will be the
first for which appropriations
will be made-one extending
from the East to the West the
other from the North to the
South.
Even without this aid the road
will be of incalculable benefit to
the country through which they
pass, serving the interests of the
country better than a railroad
would. The auto and the auto
truck are here to stay, and are
doing much of the work that
was formerly done by the rail
roads, and their Importance to
the travel and traffic of the
country is being recognized more
and more every day. Govern
ment aid would naturally be at
tracted to these roads, and it
would make of them boulevards.
How would such a road as the
Dixie Highway benefit the coun-
try through which it runs?
In many ways. It would draw
travel-men seeking invest
ments, men seeking homes, men
who would help to develop the
resources of the country-it
would bring new life and enter.

would transform it from a con-
dition of stagnation to a condi-

Hostilities are continuing with
varying degrees of intensity
along the whole Italian front.
An official communication from
Rome states that Austrian at

further advances by the Italians,

apparently the invasion of Aus
