 The roads proposed to be constructed are as follows: From the end of the Moulton pike through the town of Hills boro to the Courtland and Decatur pike, one mile; from the Courtland pike to the Town Creek pike one mile; from the Town of Town Creek to the Colbei [ county line, two and half miles. With the completion of the road now under construction and the building of the gaps provided for today. Lawrence county will have an east and west road extending through the entire length of the county. which will connect near Hillsboro, with a road to the county site at Moulton, fourteen miles distant.
 This was the most enthusiastic road meeting ever held in the county and it is safe to say that before snow flies a system of roads will be completed which will reflect credit on Lawrence county.

PROHIBITION NOT AN ISSUE

Mir. McCombs, who has been sympa- thetically inclined to Cox or even Ed wards, it would appear, made one as- founding statement He said: Since the decision of the supreme court the prohibition question is removed from the realm of politics. It cannot be made an issue"
 This statement was In sharp con- trast to the seemingly general inn pression in Chicago. The decision of the court in the minds of many, ac- centuated the issue in that from the standpoint of the anti -prohibitionists. it made the amendment of the Vol stead act compulsory.
 The republicans, while unyielding in their scheme to ignore prohibition, have determined not to take an of ficial stand in it's behalf. The repub licans have an idea that the decision of the court will enhance the oppor- tunities of the "wets" strongly to ap- peal to the country. It is possible, therefore, that Mir. McCombs is wrong. At any rate, men like Cox and Edwards will so contend. and it Is un- derstood that even Palmer will agree to meet the situation ''half way at least.
 Revertng to Mir Lodges speech, and his sharp suggestion regarding McAdoo it was apparent from the beginning to the end of the remarkable document that the Massachusetts erudite was not moved to his course against Woodrow Wilson solely for political reasons. Un- deriving it all was an obvious hatred which Lodge bears the stricken man in the White House, This hatred is com mon among many prominent republicans, especially those who occupy seats in the Seuate of the United States.
 SENATOR LODGE AFFRONTED
 MT. Lodge showed his resentment of the act of Wilson in going to Paris un- accompanied by Lodge; and resentment pared a ducoment of appeal to the entire world without republican assistance. And there is little question but that as Lodge repeatedly flung the harpoon into the flesh of the chief executive, he recalled most vivid1y that master affront of the White House man when he declined an invitation which would have put him on the same platform with the Massachu-. setts senator Lodge was all wrought up." He ouivered in his anger. He stood upon his tip-toes for emphasis. His voice was strangled into scream. His whiskers bristled.
 And that is the manner in which the republicans began the business of patri- otically nominating the very best man in the United States to serve as Presi- dent The spirit of God might have been in the convention, but it was not in Lodge.

By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Chicago. June 12.-tSpecial) )-sena- tor Lodge, in his Keynote" stressed the necessity" of securing the defeat of the Wilson dynasty. He was not venting his spleen against Wilson, per SC. He was referring directly to William Gibbs McAdoo, the son-in-law of the President.
 MT. Lodges reference to McAdoo was an official expression of the un- official expression of the average in dvidual of the republican party who is now running around Chicago. There is no questioning the fact that the re- publican masters fear the power of McAdoos appeal and the hold that he possesses on the imagination of the people.
 Among republicans, the idea obtains

strength which he contends will pre- vent the nomination of McAdoo.
 It is not certain just whom McCombs favors. He mentioned "the good old vice president" who. incidentally, is perhaps too good a democrat to secure the nomination. He thought well of Champ Clark or Governor Cox. In fact, he seemed to favor the nomination of a. Me Adnn

that McAdoo will be nominated. They are planning to present against him Wall Street, "big" business generally and owners of property. It will be their argument that McAdoo as result of his seeming trucking to organized labor during the war, advocates a course and principle inimicable to the security of American institutions.
 It is their hope that business will defeat McAdoo in New York and belief that without New York no democrat can be elected. They do not anticipate a recurrence of the miracle of the west which overturned speculation four years ago.
 M'ADOO HAS BEST CHANGE
 From any angle of the situation which one at this time cares to ob- serve McAdoo has the best chance to secure the San Francisco nomination. Nevertheless. he has his enemies. For instance, this correspondent talked to- night with William F. McCombs. The former chairman of the democratic na- tional committee declares that he will not tolerate McAdoo-"will not stand for his nomination" Very frankly he termed McAdoo a political gambler and anything else than a simon pure demo- crat.
 It Is not apparent just wherein lies the strength of McCombs He was a power when Wilson first occupied the limelight. But Wilson "throw him down." and really offended him more by offering him the post of French am bassador, which his finances would not permit of his acceptance. than ha6 he rendered his faithful pilot nothing It is probably apparent just why McCombs is 'sore" upon the king and the Their apparent"-certainly more apparent than the source of that

KENTUCKY FIGHTS
!. THE WHITE PLAGUE

1t is gratifying to observe the de-
crease in the death rate from tuber-
culosis. This marked reduction is due
to the active cooperation between the
Kentucky tuberculosis Association
and the State Board of Health, and
especially to the activities of the va
rious local health organizations, the
increase in the number Of all-time
health departments and public health
nurses.
With the introduction of physical
education in all; the schools, it is CON
fdently expected there will be a con-
tihued lowering of the death rate of
tuberculosis, u The,tlhealth crusader
movement in the, public schools is at
tracing attention. This movement.
inaugurated by the National Tubercu-
losis Association, is being conducted

where. "Not that | have a part of

the very best quality, and the Lamp

of the streets is what consumes much

the filing in of the thoroughfares,
which is hindering the progress to
Main street. With this grading fin

as to the result Of the work when
