USUAL. BAD ROADS CRY
MATTER OF BOND ISSUE

Reports are plentiful that the dirt
roads Of the county are in as bad
condition as it is possible for roads
to get in. In some communities ~ a
roads are so bad that travel Is we'll
nigh impossible and telephone lines
arr down, completely sa.,::tttt!!ng peo-
Pie off from communication with the
outside world. Yet, there is strong
opposition to bond issue for roads
among these very people. They ar
que that if the bond issue carries,
the proceeds of same will be expend-
ed on roads other than those on
which they live, and they will have
the tax to pay and not be relieved of
the conditions which now prevail.
This is doubtless true in some cases.
1t will be impossible to pike every
dirt road in the county with the
100000 bond issue, but when it
shall have been spent there will nee
essarily be very much less dirt road
mileage to be looked after in the flu
ture. Every mile of pike construct
ed reduces the dirt roads just that
much. and as we are already paying
a special road tax, shouldn't we just
as we'll add little more to it and |
get some benefit from it? So long
as citizens vote against progressive
measures just because they may not
be directly benefited, just so long

Yesterday was the lightest day of

possibly be heavier to-day.
The committee in charge feels
that it will be able to cope with the

river goes down and the factories
resume operation at once.

Contentment is the very essence
of happiness. But, to be contented,

have good health.
Our supreme toast to the one we
admire is Health, wealth and hap

So many persons complain of be-
ing nervous and run down. This is
the age of speed, we haven't time to
care for ourselves. These rundown
men and women are not exactly sick,
but just tired out, languid or maybe
good-for-nothing most of the time.
Their business, their home and their
life suffer.
They need something to build
them up, something to throw off
these symptoms of a weakened, de-
bilitated condition produced by eth
err mental or physical overwork or
by the abuse of vital organ-more
often the stomach than any other.
That something has been found.
1t is Tanlac. A tonic Of rare proper
ties, an appetizer and general invig-
GRANT that rids the system of con-
gestion, tones up the stomach, ov-
grooming indigestion, headaches,
backaches, REPRESENTATION of food,
nervousness, dizziness, ailments Of
kidneys and liver, and the COM
plants that are so common to the
half sick, debilitated men and wom-

PEOPLE ARE ASKING QUESTIONS

Naturally no sane person cares ito
Jump out Of the frying pan into the
IRE" Sane people always want to
know, they are from Missouri and
must be shown
Since the matter of taking the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
out Of politics and of allowing him to
succeed himself, has been widely dis
scussed In the papers of the State. the
sane people are asking themselves
and other people questions. Some of
them are asking, IF the Office Is taken
out Of politics and he Is to succeed
himself, will he be appointed by a
board or will he be elected, and how?".
Others are asking, But IL he is allow
ed to succeed himself In Office mightn't
a shrewd fellow get in and stay in for
ever and ever?" These questions are
the ones which every sane taxpayer
and voter in the State should ask him
self.

where are extremely anxious to get the
schools and the whole school system
out of politics. The point which both

legislature which convenes this win

would still have to be voted upon by
the people Of the State at a regular
election. After the, amendment had
been passed both by the legisla-
ture and the people, the manner of Sc
lecting or electing a superintendent
would be taken up by the legislature
of the State.

WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP
ACRE CORN ..-H0W RAISED
Boy Tells How lie Went About
Preparing Ground and
Cultivation.

tBy Walter Lee Dunson, of Ala
bama, champion corn grower of the
world.)
In preparing my land for corn |
first cut the stalks with a stalk cut
ter and turned the land from ten to
twelve inches deep on the first OF
March with a two-horse pillow. /
then double-cut the land with a disc
harrow, and on the seventh of April
/ laid off the rows three feet apart,
bedded the land with a one-horse
turner and planted the corn in the
water furrow, using two hundred
pounds of 1914 guano.
The corn came up in perfect stand.
For the first blowing | used q Guilt
vator Just deep enough to loosen the
soil. The second blowing was made
with a single stock, with scooter and
scrape. I then used four hundred
pounds of 1914 guano.
For its third cultivation I used a
harrow, after having applied six
hundred pounds of 1914 guano.
then thinned out the corn to a stand
Of about eight inches in the drill. At
the fourth cultivation | again used a
harrow. and applied eight hundred
pounds Of 10-4 guano, also giving it
a good hoeing.
For the fifth cultivation I used a
harrow, and applied two hundred
pounds of 10-4 guano as a top dress
ing. The harrow was used for the
sixth cultivation, and one hundred
pounds Of nitrate of soda was ap-
piled. For the seventh cultivation
| used a shovel cultivator, going
over the ground very lightly. Here
is the cost of this acre Of corn divd-

LABOR CONDEMNS SALOON.

"The time has come in this country when even men who take an occasion al drink and feel 1t their right and privilege to do so, if they please, are coming to agree that it is not right for man to make 1t his busi- ness to cultivate the vices of com munity, and to take from men money that belongs to their families, giving them in exchange liquid madness, bru- tality, insanity and damnatlon."
 These words were spoken by Rev. William E. Willard in an address at a remarkable labor meeting held in Garrlck theater, Chicago. "The labor union. like the church." continued MT. Willard, should regard the open sa- loon as it's greatest enemy The time has come, nay is so near, that the rosy radiance of the glorious dawn already greets our eyes, when the saloon will be abolished and the barkeeper out lawed, so that man may no longer be waylaid on payday and sent home to his broken-hearted wife and terri fled little ones raging, loathsome penniless beast"
 Tremendous applause greeted these sentiments. The theater was packed to utmost capacity with representa- tives of union labor.

SHARP RALLIES ON
 MARKET BRING RISE
Prices Decline Early in Session -Close 13 to 20 Points Up Offerings Were We'll Absorbed at the Decline.

New York, Sept 11.-Early de- cllnes were followed by sharp rallies In the cotton market today, with De- cember contracts selling up from l4,9Sc to 15.30c and closing at 15.29c. The general list closed firm at a net advance of 13 to 20 points.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of to 15 points in response to lower Liverpool cables and renewal of the selling movement was in pro- gress here at the close of last week. All deliveries made new low ground at the opening, with October selling at l4.Slc and January at 15.09c, or about 40 to ITO points under recent high records. There was further li- quidation, as well as renewed South en selling, but offerings were we'll ab- sorbed at the decline. The failure of Southern hedge selling to become ac- tive around ? o'clock probably in spired some of the covering, while bull support was also more aggressive and prices sold up rapidly during the last hour. October rallied to 15.12c and January to 15.39c, or about 30 to 32 points from the low level of the morning and the close was at the best point of the day.
 Liverpool said early hedge sell ing had been absorbed by continental buying and attributed the late decline to improved crop accounts from Texas. | Cotton closed firm.
