= A representative of The News was
in jamestown the two first days OF
the present term of Russell circuit
court.
Monday morning, before day light
a heavy rain storm struck jamestown,
but the only damage reported was the
uprooting of trees, here and there, in
the suburbs of the place. The storm
was so fierce, accompanied by con.
tinuous roaring of the elements, many
people became more or less frightened.
The rain raised all the water courses,
and, as consequence, people were
late in~reaching town, and many who
were expected failed to put in an ap.
pearance. Judge Carter and Mr.. A.
A. Huddleston did not reach their
destination until about the noon hour,
hence court was not organized until
in the afternoon. After the grand
jury had been instructed, four Re-
publican candidates to represent Cas-
ey and Russell spoke to the dear PEG.
pie. When they concluded Judge j.
c. Carter, made short talk, annonnc.
hss candidacy for reelection to. the
office of Circuit Judge. He was fol.
flowed by Mr.. Lilburn Phelps, who did
hot say that he was a candidate to
Succeed Judge Carter. but that he
was in receptive mood, and would
make the race if his friends over the
district thought it was the proper
thing for him to do. Mr.. Phelps is very
popular in his home county, and he had
been assured of strong following in
the other counties of the district. By
this time Mr.. Phelps is either a full.
t1edged candidate or he is out of the
race, as the time for fling with the
Secretary of State was GU. last Satur-
day. Mr.. A. A. Huddleston also an
nounced in short speech his candi.
dacy for reelection to the Office OF
Commonwealth Attorney. Mr.. Hud.
dleston is Republican, as our read.
ers know, and he has no opposition in
his party. -.--
The enterprising citizens of Russell
are very much interested in the bond
issue for the Dixie Highway, and it is
believed that the proposition will car
~. Every man who wants to see Rus
sell county prosper should vote for
the bonds. Forty thousand dollars is
all that is asked, and to carry that
amount would not be burdenSome.

Proving a Success.

The Rapid Transit Company was
organized for the purpose of hauling
goods between Columbia and Camp
bellsville, offering better service,
quicker delivery and better roads.
The company has been operating
now for over a week making a round
trip daily, and the merchants and
shippers are practically unanimous in
their approval of the quick and safe
delivery. One merchant received 12O
dozen fruit jars with none broken, an
other 1890 pounds of bottles with none
broken, which proves the reliability
of the springs in this truck.
The local manager, Mr.. T. B. Short,
stated that he had so exclusive orders
so far and wholesale firms signed for
hauling.
Evidently this kind of delivery is
what the people are looking for and
the Rapid Transit Company is pleased
with the reception given them at Co.
lumbia.
A trip over the road to Campbells-
vile will convince any one of the in
estimable value the road. roller wheels
have been to the pike. Autoists de-
clare the trip can be made even now
with safety, in little over an hour.
The improvement on the road is no
surprise to the manager of the com.
pany however, as he comes from the
blue grass where all the roads are be-
ing made with this type of machine.
Both Mr.. Short and Howard are
products of the Engineering course of
the State University. Mr.. Short has
for the past five years had charge of
the compulsory school law and Chill
dren's Court of Lexington, KY, and
is also very much interested in Mill.
tary affairs, holding the rank of Major
of the third Battalion of the First
Regiment of National Guards. Mr..
Howard is the State agent for the
White Motor Co., of Cleveland.
The capacity of the big truck is 5
tons in itself and "a pulling capacity
of tons more on the trailer. 1t does
seem that the Good Roads Movement
have received a national help in Sc
curing this company, for if we can get
the Dixie Highway through here sure
ly this machine can hold it down.

The continuous rains during this
month has damaged corn prospects
considerably. The ground being too
wet to pillow, crab grass took the corn
and retarded the latter's growth. We
had some dry days last week and a
great deal of work was done by far
mers, and at this time prospects are
favorable for fair crop, though there
will not be as much corn grown as
last year. Wheat of the county has
been cut, yield about half crop, but
throughout the United States it is
much larger than last year.

Would this be in addition to the
twenty-five cents levy?

twenty-five cents levy?
No, it would be in place of it.
Thirty cents is the limit.
Then the annual tax of this could
not be much greater under one plan
than it would be under the other?
No, under the present arrangement
it could not exceed five cents on the
one hundred dollars.
What did our court house and Jail
cost?
Something over forty thousand dol
lars.
Was the credit of the county
strained in paying this sum?
II it was no one knew it.
If the county could pay this sum
for a court house and Jail land they
do not enhance the value of land in
the county, don't you think it could
safely risk sixty-two thousand five
hundred dollars in good roads and not
be in danger of bankruptcy?
To an unprej udlced mind it would
seem so.
How are public improvements of
any magnitude made?
By bond issue?
Did the government adopt this
plan with the Panama Canal and the
Alaska rail road?
Yes.
Is it usual for counties to issue
bonds to construct roads?
Yes, it is the usual way.
Hundreds of counties have done it
all over the United States, and added
to their wealth by so doing.
Who will be benefited by the con-
struction. of roads?
Every body now and hereafter.
How will it benefit them now?
BY putting the money in circulation,
and giving employment to the unem-
ployed.
Men who use the spade and pick,
and men who have teams can get work
at good prices.
Will this be true of all the county?
Yes, because the roads will be built
in every direction, and all parts of the
county will share in the prosperity,
and the money will remain here.
What brings prosperity to county?
Capital and labor cooperating. 1t
is the only way.
How will it benefit the county here
after?
The county will be wea.Ghier-inter
communication will be easier; exports
and imports can be moved at less ex.
pense of time and money; the wear
and tear Of vehicles and teams will be
less; our school, church and social
privileges will be much better, in
fact the enumeration would be too
long for full answer. -
TheD to build the roads at once
would help this generation as well as
the next generation?
Yes. beyond doubt.
We would enjoy the benefits, and<so
would our children after us.
What does the town of Columbia
pay on the county roads outside of the
town..
1t pays on s454, 725 annually, or about
one-sixth OF the whole road tax.
Will it be required to continue to
pay under bond Issue?
Certainly.
Then, the town does not get all the
benefit, does it?

AMUSE M ENTS

Seats for the all too brief engage
ment of J. Hartley Manners, mo t
compelling and appealing comedy peg
o. My Heart" will open at Fields
Dru Store tomorrow.
| In Peg o. My Heart" Mr.. Manners
has written one of the sweetest plays
and created one of the most lovable
characters seen on the stage in recent
years. Peg is the daughter of an aris-
tocratic English woman who has mar
ried against the wishes of the family,
an Irish socialist. At her daughters
birth the mother died, and Peg has
been raised by her whole-hearted
father She is simple, natural and
impulsive and when she is transplant
ed into the effected surface living at
mosphere of the Chichester home,
there Is trouble of all sorts. Pegs
rich uncle has repented and made her
his heiress, and according to his will,
she is to be brought to England and
educated. The Chichesters act as her
guardian, and while this hurts their
sense of pride, the remuneration
which they are to receive, at that
time, is very acceptable. She is as
much out of her element as the ever
existing square Peg in the round
hole"
The three acts of comedy develop
the humor, pathos, and tenderness of
this situation, finally eliminating in
Pegs running away to dance, and
her Illustration of her naughty cousins
with married man. The
harshness and misunderstanding which
follows this episode determines the
little alien to quit the house in which |
she has been miserably used and so
unhappy. oliver Morosco is again

ton with cast which includes Miss
Rea Martin in the title role, that has |
