England Is now debating roads for
motor transportation, for. although
she is amply equipped with railroads
II IS believed that hereafter motor
trucks will play prominent part In
the business of the country. Systems
OF special highways are being mapped
out, and the plans proposed include
an apparently excellent feature. To
avoid the delays and congestion incl.
dent on traversing towns, Il Is sug.
geSted that the main road be located
beyond the borders Of the town, and
this would certainly expedite traffic

Fighting Honest Battlc.

To the Democrats of the South:
The success of the democratic
ticket in the November election will
depend largely on the amount OF
money subscribed by Southern dem
ocrats 10 the National campaign
fund.
Let me appeal to every democrat
in the South to make contribution
to this fund which will be used in
the words OF Gov James NJ. Cox TO
fight an honest battle"
All moneys contributed will be
used for legitimate purposes in pre-
senting democratic policies TO the
voters in doubtful states.
The South owes its industrial and
economical freedom to thd Federal
Reserve bank In the event of re-
publican success every effort Will no
doubt be made to wreck the efficien-
cy of this great institution.

possible 20 every man and every wo-
man in the democratic party in the
Southern states to get actively be-
hind the movement TO collect funds
for the fight. JOE SPARKS.

A Great Stride In Civic Improvement
The public square has been graded
and well graveled and the people fee
thrill of pride when they look out
over the smooth surface and vehicles
and cars move along without bumps
and jolts.
1t IL n wonderful improvement and
the court square is an object of coun-
ty pride.
The crossings are all In tip-top
shape and pedestrians are out of the
mud
Cars are expected now to park
along the court yard curb, and there
IL no congestion of traffic.
The large gravel is expected to
gradually be beaten down so that
motoring will be still more pleasant.
1t is being suggested that a good
coating of oil will help the situation

the job.
