Raising Road Funds in Estill.

While over at Irvine a few
days ago, we saw our friend Chas.
L. Maple, and others, busy with
road subscription paper, getting
a bit of money from everybody
they came across, 10 aid In the
re. reconstruction of the old Irvine
and Richmond turnpike. The
county has agreed to give $500
every time the people give $4,000
and il looked from the way the
people were rushing to get their
names on the paper, there is dan.
ger of exhausting the county
funds.
Fortunate indeed that Estill
has such wise, liberal and
brOad.minded Fiscal Court to SO
institute such a method of ex-
panding a weak road fund.
We used to have just such Fis-
cal courts in Powell county, hut
that was days when there was
no worry over expending that
$40, 900, bond issue. The worse
thing that was ever done for good
roads in Powell county was the
voting of this money to spend on
them.

HORSE LABOR ON FARMS.

On the grain farm the heaviest
work for the horses comes in April
May and in August, September and
October. The rest of the time there
is practically nothing for the horses
to do. But enough horses have tn he
kept during the year to take care Of
the work during these busy months.
When averaged up the horse on the
grain farm only works three hours
day. These figures were secured in an
investigation by the Minnesota Exper-
iment Station, under the direction of
Thomas Cooper now director of the
North Dakota Experiment Station In
this same investigation it was found
that when the crops are diversified
the horse labor is better distributed

JUDGE WH|PPLE'S

The people of the Cordele. Circuit
are highly pleased with the choice
of Judge U. V. Whipple for the Fed
eral Bench by President Wilson.
Judge Whipple is jurist of great
merit, combining the mental Quail
ties required for this august position
with the finely developed heart quail
ties so much needed in the proper
administration of the affairs of this
high office.
The Senate should confirm this ap-
pointment without a question and we
put the Georgia Senator'S on notice
that any opposition coming from
them will be remembered when the
time comes by every voter in the
Cordele circuit
Judge Whipple is loved and re-
spected in this territory and the re-
Election that one of our senators may
cast upon his career by opposing him
will lose him the votes that may have
gone astray on his previous race il
