Says Lexington's Senator

outfits for the county.
Second from those living in the
county. All approved the plan and
many asked that it be put into op-
Grafton soon as possible. One sug,
gested the supervisor serve for two
years. Some favored a road engineer
to a supervisor and about twenty-five
per cent wanted the supervisor elect
ed instead of appointed.
Assuming this to be fairly good
expression of what our people want,
and will approve the means Of bring
ing it about, see nothing left for the
delegation to do but put it in opera
ton as soon as possible, if we would
comply with the desires of our consti-
tuents. Now how can it be done at the
least cost to the tax payers and get
it operating in 1920; as the money
borrowed in 1919 to rebuild roads and
bridges, caused by the heavy rains
must be paid out Of the 1920 taxes
This way, find out the amount it viii
take to buy tractors and road ma
chimes for each district, also the
amount the county is to match from
the federal aid and these two is the
amount to r:.se. This should be bor-
rowed by whatever means is neces-
sary, for a period of five years and
paid off in five annual payments. This
is the only practical way to accom-
plish it at a minimum tax rate per
annum and get to work at once. Time
is short, so our delegation must decide
quickly if we are going to try to do
to better the roads. The peo-
pie we have the honor to serve have
let us know in no uncertain
language that they want their roads
improved and it becomes our bounden
duty to give them the best we are
capable of. I think our delegation
will meet soon and go over the plan
very carefully, try to improve it and
get it ready to introduce at the op-
ening of the legislature.
Finally my conclusions: Our peo-
pie are decidedly in favor of the plan
and want it soon as possible. Their
getting it, depends upon the action of
their senator and representatives.
Mr.. Editor, thank you for the use
of your columns through which I
could present the matter to our peo-
pie. To all who have written or
spoken to me on the plan, accept my
deep appreciation. I will not discuss
or say any more on the subject.

There is but one legitimate excuse
for a pale. rundown, listless child,
and that is some serious disease of
one or more of the vital organs, which,
of course. needs the prompt attention
of competent physician. Unless
such condition exists, the. weak, white
youngster who takes no pleasure in
romping or playing can be very ma
teria1ly helped by a course of that
thoroughly dependable blood en-
richer and general tonic, Guides Pep

for Anen1ia (Bloodlessness) has been
continuously prescribed by physicians
all over the world for thirty years,
to restore the weakened, watery
blood to it's normal condition.. and
thus improve appetite, add color to
pale lips and cheeks and impart
strength to the whole body. Guides
Pepto- Mangan can be had in both
LIQUID and tablet form {no difference

being preferable for young chill

SUCKERS AND SUCKER BAIT

A reader sends us two letters from
a concern in which she bought stock

and asks if we can do anything TO get
her money back. We cannot. Mon
ey paid for worthless stocks is, as
a rule. just the same as thrown

all grown-up people should know
better than to put money into con-
Germs of which they know nothing,

The Nashville newspapers, for eX-

advertisement these days. and every
such advertisement is evidence that
the sucker .crop is still abundant.
Otherwise, the men who are selling
this stock would not be spending
good money to pay for sucker bait.
Just about the first rule of prudent
investment is to put your money into
something you know something about
or can keep an eye on. And proba-
