Millions for a
NeW Stomach

One of the greatest American million
aires said to his physician, ga million
dollars, Doctor, spot cash and no grum-
bling, for a new stomach" and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
All his wealth could not make him
happy or eontented, for happiness large
ly depends upon digestion. Without
health where does happiness come inf
After all the stomach plays a great
part in everyday life. Without a
healthy stomach and good digestion our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our
heart action is weak, our liver does not
do its duty, and man is miserable and
unhappy. Prevent disease by putting
the house in order and strengthening
the system against the germs of disease.
DIR. Pierce, Of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y,
years ago understood diseases and their
prevention, and he discovered certain
roots and herbs which were natures
remedies, and succeeded in putting them
up in form that could be easily pro-
cured at the drug store Liquid or
tablets. This he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This Dis
covery gives no false stimulation be-
cause it contains no alcohol or any mar
cotic. 1t helps digestion and the as
similation of such elements in the food
as are required for the blood. 1t gives
to the blood the food elements the it's
sues require. For over fifty years 1t
has enjoyed the confidence of the
American public. Try it now!

Allow a man to buy his time at the

We have now just reached the High

of rising civilization, if times are nor.
NAL.
There is just one single corrective, in
the way of settling the tax question for
ell time, namely, increased fertility of
the soil. with consequent greater pro
ductiOn. This can be accomplished only
by home owners. The tenant is not
interested in soil building, schools,
churches etc; except incidentally. The
home owner is vitality interested in
them all. 1t is well known fact that
the small farm, which is farmed by the
owner is more productive than the large
one formed by tenants. The reason lie
clear to all. Any scheme that cuts the
county into small farms with the own
er in charge as the actual operative
will meet the situation. l suggest q
graduated land tax, exactly like the
present income tax. as the remedy, the
primary unit of land that shall receive
the normal rate to be about a quarter
section. Within two generations the
tax question will be settled, otherwise
in the same time it will be in first
class muddle.
In settling this question of land own
ership, all smaller questions settle
themselves. 1t takes such long time,
you say. Correct. But we are a for
ward looking people.

Reports coming from over Tennessee
indicate that the county courts thru
out the state have nearly all come to
the aid of the school system in giving
increased revenues for the schools in
order that teachers may have increased
salaries to help meet the increased
costs of living. The effect is seen in
the number of teachers in the nor
NAL schools, the number of applicants
for positions as teachers, etc. Last
year many schools remained closed
turnout the year because teachers found
better pay in other work and left the
schools for the better paying work
This year it appears that every white
school In Fayette county can have q
teocher. Applicants are plentiful
enough at this tire and teachers will
be assigned to each school before they
open on Augusta Under the increased
revenue promised by the county court
of this county the salaries of teachers
were increased by the county board rs
per cent over last years salaries and it
seems this has had the desired effect In
securing for the schools the needed
number of teachers. The annual sal.
aries of teachers in this county will
continue to be better than any of the
other counties near Us except Shelby.
Which has Memphis wealth to supply
her funds.

Roads and Taxes

The fault with the present system
of road work lies not in tractors. price
of gasoline. garage bills. high cost of
labor, etc. But it does lie primarily 10
the roads not worked by the said tract
ors, Out of a possible mileage of 1000
or more of public roads in the entire
county, the tractors touched but 4O5,
about one fifth. The kick comes from
the other four fifths.
This involves irregular mail delivery.
The patrons sometimes take it out on
the carriers, but at heart it is a matter
of poor roads. Watch those at the
mass meetings, and see how often they
are patrons of mail routes on second
class roads. The truth lie all mail routes
ought at once to be declared first class
roads. The force Of this county at a
recent meeting instructed its repre-
sentative to the State convention to
fight for the idea, with a view to bring
pressure to bear on the state legislature
to that end. You, as patron of the
R. II. ID. routes, should speak to that
end Begin now.
The contract system is open to the
same objections as the tractor scheme.
II will promote few fairly good roads
in the particular district. the rest will
go begging Without a county super
visor il will be hopeless failure.
There is no doubt the wheel tax being
unconstitutional. To the man who has
not one thousand dollars personally, it
is certainly unconstitutional, to the
man who has more than the said thou
sand, it is double taxation. 1t is class
ed as privilege tax. II is not such.
A privilege tax is one where the idea
of cash profit is involved, as a jtney,
hotel. store etc. This idea is not in
volved in the private use of buggy,
wagon etc.
No one who knows the County High
way Commission doubts for moment
their honesty. The feasibility and
fairness of the law they were appointed
to make operative may be fairly called
In question but not the honor of the
gentlemen IN question. 1t is a gray
matter to teach the young peof lie Of
the county that our leading men are
crooked. We will reap as a harvest
from it later.
] incline to the old fashioned overseer
plan in the matter of roads. We now
have cars. which creates the demand
for good roads. We have much better
tools than once. Two horse plows are
fairly common. Now install drag is
an imperative necessity, and fill the
county with the idea "a true One) that
no road is worked until it is dragged.
Mr.. E. c. Boswell dragged bis road
last year nearly one hundred times.
This will work ALL the roads, and
that is the heart Of the present disturb
ance. 1t will do it at minimum cost.

Our Present Road Law

agree most heartily with the Editor
OF The Falcon that it is time for every
citizen TO express his opinion about our
road law. have been doing that for
sometime, and with the permission Of
The Falcon / will give some of the res-
sons why / think our present law
should be repealed.
Q. It gives to the Highway Com
missioners absolute power over oil
road matters in the county. They can
cav what roads are to be worked, how
money is TO be spent, and il they choose
can leave the roads Of one district or
of several districts untouched. There
lie vague provision that they shall
keep all roads in the county as near the
same state Of repsis az msy be prscti.
cal. OF course this means nothing.
They are the sole judges Of what Is
practical. Under this law there are
roads In the county that have not been
touched. We of number ak have seen
our roads deteriorste until they become
impossible. and have had no redress.
These Commissioners gave bond for
$1,000 each and yet handle and control
more than $4,000 in Is months. The
bond shonld be adequate. They re.
eeive salary Of 500 per year. This
would not cover their absolutely nee
essary expenses. No man should be
forced TO work Cor the county for moth
ing. don't think We need commiss-
toners, but If we do we should pay
them. Voluntary service Is rarely
satisfactory for long.
(2). This law provides that the
Commissioners shall designate certain
roads TO be worked beginning at the
county seat and extending TO the county
line. Some Of the mostimpOrtsnt roads
in the county do not touch the county
seat. Why this provision? These
Commissioners are elected by the
County Court and are al memhers Of
the Court. | DOUBT the wisdom Of

Corn is selling at $3.50 per bushel
from the dealers here and turnout the
country and il is about as close as it
can be sold to give them reasonable
profit. And yet the writer saw a
farmer last week offering roasting ears
on the streets for sale at rs cents per
dozen. At this last price bis new corn
is bringing him less sold in small lots
on the streets than he would pay for
old corn from the store. But he never
once stopped to count that little over
eight dozen ears of corn will make a
busbel. and eight dozen at this farmers
price would be $500 per bushel, where
as old corn costs $3.50 per bushel.
Then who is responsible for some farm
ers getting almost nothing for their
produce?

this. II they are to be elected by the
court it should be pro 'ided that they
should not be members Of the court.
| will not dwell on this point now but
hope at some future time to give good
and sufficient reason for this provision.
(3). This law provides that the
County Court shall fix tax of not less
than $50 nor more than $40 on each
500 of property for the support Of
roads. Since this law was passed the
assessed valuation of property subject
to taxation has been increased four
fold. The tax rate, then, based on the
old valuation is from $50 to $3.50.
This of course would be ruinous If en-
forced and the taxpayers of the county
should be protected.
(D. The Communication Plan is ridic-
uous on its face. Why should the
county sell a man his labor at fifty
cents day and buy it back at So 90
per day? That is not business.
(5). The wheel tax. a part of this
law, is absolutely indefensible. A
farmer pays bis road tax, on bis prop
erty, works the road If he is of road
age, and then has to pay privilege
tax before be can have his Gotten to
market over the roads he has helped
make. His buggy has to bear priv
ilege tax before his family can drive
1t to church or his children to school.
This seems double taxation Uf the
crudest kind to me. Not another
county in the state has this tax. 1t
is always unfair to question mans
motives. Only God can read the human
heart, but IL wanted law that was
absolutely unfair to the farmer and I'M
just to the outlying districts | would
take our present road law. The mo-
tives of its authors l do not know, but
the effects Of their law are painfully
apparent
This law will have to be repealed II
we ever hope for better roads. No
men in the county could make success
as Highway Commissioners. IL has
been tried and has failed in every way.
Why try 1t sgain? The aid that we
are to receive from the state and ma
tionsl government is not to be expend-
ed on our county roads but on high
ways planned and worked under spec
ifications of U. 5. Engineers.
To work the roads of the county
under the district system would not
effect these highways at ell.
