TOWN STOCK LAW BADLY NEED
ED AT ONCE.

A travelling man once truthi uliy
made the remark on recent vlslI 70
our little city, that the is. sice
walks and private lawns of Vldalla
looked as if they all had been con-
verted into a stock yard
This condition is indeed most
wretched one, and is one when GER
tainly imposes upon other cltlzeAs.
The sidewalks are Uttered from
one end to the other-pedestrlans
very often have to get off the side
walk to get by cows and horses, or
else take the time to drive the AMI
mails off, and then just as soon as
they pass, the cows and horses are
right back on the walks.
1t takes a fence strong enough TO
withstand the onslaught Of a steam
roller. to withstand their efforts to
gain admission to your yard or gar
den at night. :,
Now. why is it that citizens should
be expected to spend hundreds upon
hundrers of dollars building ano
maintaining fences, just to keep ou'
a few fifty or hundred dollar cows
or horses? 1t seems most unreason'
aDle, anu SLOulQ NC NSAACSNON ~ -
Board of Aldermen. =,
Because some few persons mlgh
object. by reason of the fact tina
they were stock owners. and had M
place to keep their stock, is no JUS
reason why the vast majority mus
be made to fence up, tie up and loci
up, to keep out the TROUBLESOME
auadrupeds. 1t viii be much cheape
for them to pay dollar or two
year for pastureage for their stock
than for the citizens of the town {
have to spend many dollars to pro
tect their lawns, much less the side
walks.
We do not contend that Their
should be a parish wide stock Law
for in some cases this is impracticS
ard unnecessary in our parish; bJ
in the towns, it is absolutely esser
tial, and the citizens should Untrue
their representatives, the town cou1
ell to make and enforce such an o.
dinance..
The columns of the Sentinel WI
be open for any argument on II
question.

MATERIAL AND APPARATUS

Manv items of material and apparatus are IN
voIved IN the current maintenance OF the prop
erty, entirely apart from the enormous quaint
ties involved in the construction OF new prop
ertv. and this represents large item OF expense
There has been no reduction, nor any lndIcaIlpn
of reduction IN the price OF these essential art-
cles IN practically all OF winch the LABOR Irelsh'
mi naming cost is by tar the largest proportion
OF the total cost
We know that the manufacturers OF telephone
eonipment and material have orders booked Iof
two wears in advance, with a constantly lncreas-
ING demand and which in turn makes reduction
in price in the near future most improbable
FREIGHT AND PASSENGER COSTS
| Our annual expense for the transportation OIL
freight and passengers Is more than one million
dollars. No one expects the Railroads to reduce
their charges under the level of costs In render

INSURANCE.

Even where the actual rate per one thousand
dollars has not been increased, we are compelled
to carry a larger amount of insurance than in
pre-war days in order to protect ourselves in
the reproduction Of, any of the property which
may be destroyed by fire, and this is reflected in
very large increase in the total insurance bill.

INSPECTION OF
SIX COUNTY ROADS
Delayed By Division Engineer
Dawson-Pikes the State
Will Control

Division Engineer J. S. Dawson
Of the State Road Department,
who was to have been in Rich
mond on Thursday to go over a
number of the highways with
County Road Engineer Baxter
and County Judge Price, was un-
able to get here this week but the
inspection looking forward to the
state taking over the roads in
Madison county will be made
within a short time.
Mr.. Dawson, who was in charge
of the work of inspecting the
highways before they were turn
ed to the state for permanent
maintenance, has found the task
an extensive one, and one accom-
panied by considerable work, re-
quiring much time. He has been
at work for some time in the
southern part of this district, but
has not made an official report
relative to the Madison highways.
Plans have been prepared and it
is expected that the six roads de-
cided upon by the state will be ac-
cepted, unless it is a small portion
of one or two roads. which will
have to be repaired slightly, since
the state is particular regarding
this The condition of the high
ways have to reach certain
standard before being taken over.
After this is done, they will not
represent further cost to the
county There has been consid-
cradle road work done in Madison
county during the present year,
and there will be considerable
more. however, the roads to be
turned over to the state for the
future will be given immediate
attention, if am is necessary
They are the following known
highways: Lancaster. Tate's
Creek. Red House, Irvine, Big
Hill and the Lexington pike.
There have been complaints as
to the condition of the last named
and efforts have been
made to have the county repair
and improve it in various places.
However this may or may not be
done, owing to the decision of the
officers after the inspection has
been made.

COX TO OPEN HIS
FIGHT IN WEST
VIII Advocate League of Nations
But Outlines Two Res
ervations

Dayton. O., July 1O-Although
no date has been set, Gov. James
M. Cox, democratic nominee for
the Presidency, will open his cam
paign in the West, probably in
California, and it will be driving,
intense campaign, started son
high" and kept there.
The keynote of the campaign
will be an appeal to the people for
ratification of the League of Ma
'ons, without delay, as necessary
to keep faith with the boys who
went over there" an appeal for a
covenant with Article X unweak-
ened.
But according to information
obtained, while ratification will
be urged for the peace treaty in
full. two reservations or sugges-
tions to the pact may be offered.
The will be, it is understood
First-A reservation that the
United States signs an agreement
that all signatories are bound to-
gether for only one reason-to
keep the peace of the world.
Second-A reservation provid-
ing without any suggestion to
shirking its obligations, that the
League participants clearly un-
derstand that the American war
making power is. vested in Con
gress and that the United States
could not go outside the limita-
tions of the Constitution in com
plving with any league mandate.
These outstanding develop
mcnts followed an announcement

Committee. suggesting that all of

tee assemble here Tuesday, July

HON. W. B. SMITH
STRONG FOR COX

Governor James NJ. Cox, Columbus.
Dear Sir: The Democrats of Madi-
son county with all the other Demo
crats of the state of Kentucky con-
graduate you on your nomination to
fill the highest office in the gift of the
American people.
You must not forget. Governor
that Kentucky was the first state in
the union to speak out and nominate
you in convention for this high office
The action of the Kentucky Demo
Gratis in the convention held at Louis
vile, Kentucky gave to you a pres
tige and called your, name to flash
throughout the country as the best
man for the Democratic party to
nominate at San Francisco. This ac-
ton by the Democrats of the state
called the attention of the whole ma
ton to the fact that your location
was the very best and that your sue
cess in life had been good, having
been elected three times governor of
the state of Ohio and administered
your office to the satisfaction of the
people of that state.
From the day that the convention
at Louisville declared its preference
for you for the high office as the
president of the United States, your
chances for nomination began to
grow and continued to spread and the
Kentucky Democrats had the great
satisfaction of feeling and seeing
that they had brought about such a
splendid result.
Now, Governor, we shall claim
that we did very much indeed towards
securing your nomination and when
you take the oath of office as presi-
dent of the United States you must
not forget what we have done to make
YOU the ruler of this great people
Cor the four years to come. We feer
that we have made no mistake and
we have an abiding confidence in
your ability and that you will be
successful at the November election.
Yours respectfully,
W. B. SMITH
