Every year the question of good
roads becomes more manifest to the
intelligent farmers Of the county.
They realize that the expense of
their crop does not end with the
harvest. They have to transport
their cotton, meat, hay and grain
to the market. The condition of
the roads has much to do with the
transportation charges. The ex-
pense is light with good roads and
correspondingly heavy with bad
roads. This is a question worth
thinking about by every farmer in
this county.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1917-03-16

The hauling of ties from a dis.
lance of several miles in the cOun-
try is found of sufficient profit to
induce number of farmers to en-.
gage in the business in spite Of the
bad weather and terrible condition
of the roads. How much more
profitable it would be to those far
mers if they had good roads over
which to do their hauling. Car
roll county is making a mistake by
giving SO little attention to the
question OF good roads.

FRIDAY. MARCH Is, 1917
THE NEW SENATORS

On March 4tl the new members
from sixteen states changed the
personnel Of the United States
Senate.
California, Minnesota and Penn
sylvania snapped Republicans for
Republicans.
In Florida and Tennessee the ex-
change was Democrat for Demo
crat.
Delaware, New Mexico, Rhode
Island, Utah and Wyoming sent
Democrats and took back Repub-
licans,
Indiana, Maine, Maryland, New
Jersey New York and West Vir-
ginia did the opposite and replaced
defeated Democrats with Republi-
cans.
The result of the changes is a
loss of one for the Democrats and
gain of one for the republicans,
which seems almost incredible
when all the fuss and Juror of the
campaign aud autumn elections is
remembered. The last senate stood:
Democrats, 50; Republicans, Al.
The new, or Sixty-6fth Senate,
stands: Democrats, "a; Republi-
cans, AZ.
1t is a remarkable thing how
near the balance of power is pre-
served in the great deliberate body;
it shows how clear is the line of
demarcation in public sentiment.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1917-03-16

But with - majority votes on their
side of the ledger, the Democrats
feel reasonably safe as TO the re-
suit of any legislation that may
come up. With the possibility Of
a fillibuster eliminated there should
be no reason why the..senate should
not stand squarely behind Demo-
cratic administration. CONNER
cial Appeal.

Judge Jesse Edgington has been
found notyguilty by a jury in a
Memphis criminal court. He was
charged with receiving bribe
while a Judge of a Memphis court.
This was one Of the charges which
the bar of Memphis investigated
and asked the governor of Ten
nessee to call the legislature to-
gether in extra session to inquire
into. The legislature, after max
ing a thorough investigation, sus-
stained the charges and almost
unanimously voted to impeach him.
A great many people in Memphis
thought Edgington had been pun
ished enough and did not feel that
he should be prosecuted 10 the
criminal court, and this public
sentiment, no doubt, had much
weight in influencing the jury that
found him not guilty a few days
ago.

The extra session Of congress,
which the president has called to
meet April Is, will very likely be
a long and exceedingly important
session. Questions of grave i'm

at this time, it is impossible to
give any estimate of the import
ance of the questions that may be
brought before that body.

ARE YOU THE MAN !?

There is a man in this world who
has let slip by the wonderful
chances of his life. Are you the
man9
There is a man whom fortune
has caressed and mas placed before
him, smiling at the time and open
ing the way to a future of great
promise, and the man with muscu-
line overconidence has answered
in his heart, What is the use;
there is plenty Of time? III have
a good time first Are you the
mani
There is man in this world who
has built his dream castles that he
! could have made permanent, but
for physical abuse and designations;
who has later on sadly watched
them crumble, because of his own
moral negligence; through his lack
of appreciation of the chances in
his budding life that his good God
gave him. Are you the man?
Are you the man who, after
wrecking your life, goes to ply
sian and asks the time-worn ques-
ton, Doctor, can you fix me up"
Are you the man who receives
the inevitable answer; mo, | can
not and neither can Nature"
We that is, most of US too
frequently go far into Natures
debt. When we do we must pay.
Nature waits just so long. In time
it is possible for you to make
good, sound man of yourself, but
you will never be the man you
used to be.
The man who has abused him
self and his opportunities will re-
alize his mistake sooner or later
and will see the handwriting on
the wall, Go Slow
This is the prophetic warning
that every man must some day read
and understand, and once again we
ask: Are you the man."
1t is merely matter of con-
science and a retributive thought,
)ut if you are the man, then you
must pay.
The law Of life exacts this pay
nent.
A gray road will stretch before
,ou. You will become known
lmong your companions as a plod-
Ter. You have spent and wasted
your vitality. You will become
appalled, with the haunting thoughts
Of your squandered yesterdays.
You will recognize what you might
rave done and what you did not

n you has been burned out. You
are not the man you used to be,
because of your own reckless way
If living, and once more we are
mpelled to ask: Are you the

SINGER HAS S125,000 HOME.

New York, April 14.-Next to being munition maker the quickest road to wealth in these days would seem to be that of successful singer, especially one whose voice is suited for the machines that grind out the "canned music" Anyone who is in clined to doubt the truth of this state ment might as John Mccormack, the celebrated tenor, who today takes possession of a country estate at Noroton, Conn.,, for which he recently paid s125,000. This sum is said to represent the amounts paid to the Irish Caruso in the past few years by the photograph companies. 1u addition, the singer is said to possess another hundred thousand or so that has been paid by the American public with fondness for hearing him war bIe the ballads of Old Erin. MT. Me- Cormack will probably add consider ably more to his "pile," as he is still in his early thirties. It is scarcely a decade since he left his native Dublin and arrived in London virtually pen niless, but possessed of voice that soon won him recognition.

WARS BENEFITS.

Whatever and whenever the end of the European war, in which the United States is participating, the benefits will be great. The peopl', of Central Europe will obtain rights to which they are entitled, and we of America are going to learn how to handle our vast resources to the best advantage.
 The war is doing for the South something nothing else has done: forcing us to grow the food and feed we need, instead of depending upon other sections. This country-the best in the. worlds going to be bet ter because of the war. And the South is going to have wealth greater than the most optimitic optimist ever dreamed. Once the Southern farmer realizes the profit of growing his own food and feed, he'll never stop, and with the millions of idle acres adapted to agriculture in cultivation, we will, as lumberman put it at New Orleans last week, "build another empire"

 "'Tiz" makes your feet glow with comfort: takes down swellings and draws the soreness and misery right out of feet that chafe, smart and burn.

Buy at Home

a suit of clothes from a merchant one day and do a job of plumbing for him the next, and in that way get his money returned. The merchants from other cities cannot thus return patron age for patronage.
 But let us see what good Buying at Home really does.
 It offers an opportunity to MT. Aver age Man to keep Pine Bluff money here, thereby doing his duty as a citizen.
 It gives him an opportunity of pa tronizing a fellow citizen. Pine Bluff merchants advertise in the local news papers and pay salaries to many clerks. They pay taxes to this city and this county. They belong to local churches and send their children to local schools. They contribute to our Associated Charities and are enthusi- astic about new roads, public library and other improvements here and not elsewhere. Their money is invested here and their confidence is in the city. We must not destroy it.
 Buying at Home in more ways than one beautifies the city. It increases the prosperity of the merchants to such an extent that they can expend and ornament their establishments. And they will feel able to have paved streets and have beautiful residence districts also.
 Buyinc at Home attracts new citi- zens here. This is true, because there will be demand for more people here. And people looking for a To- cation adopt prosperous self-sup- pouring city.
 It will make Pine Bluff greater fi- nancially. This leak of out-of town buying stopped, our bank deposit fig ures in the annual bank statements will grow with our population, im- provements, undertakings, progress iveness and civic unity.
 Undoubtedly Buying at Home will make Pine Bluff "A MORE UNABLE CITY,"

Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Remove Them With the Othrine Prescription

This prescription for the removal of freckles was written by a prominent physician and is usually so successful in removing freckles and giving . clear, beautiful complexion that it is sold by any druggist under guarantee to refund the money if it fails.
 Don't hide your freckles under a veil; get an ounce of othrine and re- move them. Even the first few appli- cations should show a wonderful im- provement, some of the lighter free kles vanishing entirely.
 Be sure to ask the druggist for the double strength othrine; it is this that is sold on the money-back guarantee. Adv.
