Attention Is Called to Importance of Carrying on This Kind of Work. Immediate Response Received
 From Washington
Rr E. E. FRANTZ

Jackson, Miss, May 26.-(Special.) Next to the greater foodstuff campaign in Mississippi, perhaps, is that of good roads. The entire state is alive to both situations, and all possible is being done to induce the farmers and others to make the heaviest food crops they ever attempted. At the same time the state Is heavily interested in the matter of good roads, and millions are being in- vested in that direction. The state high way commission, of which J. M Mo Beath of Meridian Is president, has been to Washington in this interest The gov- ernment has been appealed to for relief and 1t has been promised, one way and another. Mississippi has inaugurated a fight for good roads that is believed winner, demanding that road building material be made first in getting cars from the railroads-just as is coal and war supplies. The council of national de- fense has agreed to that proposition, and the advocates of good roads are deter mined that gravei and other road build ing material shall have the right of way, so that the farmers may the better get their produce to market, thus prov iag themselves as much patriots as are the men in the trenches.
 In this connection a little telegraphic correspondence between Governor Bilbo and the Council of National Defense Is

T got more for my money when I bought Tanlac than I ever did from any money I ever spent" declared c. C. Morris, a well known resident of Marti- neg, Ga, and it's been a long time since felt as well as I do now.
 Twelve years ago I had to give up my store and quit farming on account of bad health,' he continued, and haven't been able to do anything in all
 that time till l began taking Tanlac. I suffered agonies from rheumatism and the pain I endured almost run me crazy. My kidneys worried me lot and my back and sides ached most all the time. didn't want to eat and when l did the gas on my stomach would cause my heart to flutter and interfere with my breathing. The least excitement would make me shake like a leaf. l had awful headaches and was so miserable many a night I never closed my eyes. Nothing ever took did me any good and my health was getting worse every day.
 "Tanac made a wonderful change in my condition. My food all tastes good to me now and I eat anything I want. My nerves are quiet and I sleep like a log all night and I have no more head aches or rheumatic pains of any kind If I had got hold of Tanlac 12 years ago I never would have had to give up my store and farm
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu. sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug company; in Besse- mer by Pegram- Patton Drug company; in Pratt City by Gale Drug company, and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug company.-Adv

GOVERNOR HAD NO TROOPS

Monday night last Governor Bilbo was appealed to for troops to protect the Memphis negro who was taken from the sheriff at Potts Camp this state, and would have sent them but for the fact that he had none. He wired to the de- partment of the east at Atlanta, but was told that the only man who could send the troops from Jackson to Potts Camp elsewhere was President Will son. The governor then gave it up, but ordered the sheriff to summon posse of 200 men to protect the negro. The sheriff was an hour or two too late and the negro was taken to Memphis and cremated. The action of the mob, supposed to have been composed largely of Mississlppians, was very heartily in- dorsed here
