In this issue ot the Enterprise we have an article on the building ol a sand clay road by Mr. M. O. Kldredge, of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C. Those who were present at the re cent Farmers' Institute will rec ognize it as being ttie outline of Mt. Eldredge's talk on road mak ing »t that meeting. The study of the article will enable any good practical man to make a good road. During .Mr. Eldtedge's talk on road making he suggested that out county do away with the present road tax, and adopt a money tax for the purpose .of making and keeping up our roads. And w think the plan a good one. Lei the County adopt a road tax al lowing those who do not want to work on tbe road themselves to pay so much per day tor the time they would be required to work, and let the money raised in this way go into a road fund, to be used in paying a regular road force Until we have such a plan, oui roads will always lie in as bad shape as they are now. But, if we do not take sotne action along this line we will nevei have good roads. Suppose a gord roads club for Martiu County be, organized? Who will take up this matter aud help to make our road* better? Any one interested in this work, and who will lend such assistant* as they can, will please communi •cate with the editor of this paper. Uncle Sam Airald ol Standard oil Co It Is rather a pitiful confession for the government to have to make, but it is explained by the Navy Department that the reason there are not oil burning boats in the Navy is because the govern ment is afraid of the Standard Oil Company. Perhaps it is a w4iole some fear, but it is a remarkable confession for the government to have to make. For three or four years past, the Navy Department lias bpen study ing the problem of oil burning boats, and for a year there have been extensive tests made with the smaller craft. The tests showed what observation of tbe British ex periments already ( indicated, that oil ia a better coal. There has been much done with oil bur ners in the British Nayy Many of the torpedo boats destroyers have been fitted witji liquid fuel apparatus. even of the' larger cruisers have used it. It 1 has been demonstrated that oil is! easier to trans-ship at sea than coal that in the same space more fuelj can be stored, giving the boat an j increased steaming radius and that ' it is easier to handle and reduces the number of the crew that must be carried. The British Navy has! such a big flotilla of torpedo boats j that it has found it pays to put in its own tank steamers and est ah- I lish oil depots over the world just; as it has coaling stations, $0 that now a British naval vessel burning oil fuel can go from Englaud to the China station and find fuel sup plies all the way?> But this is im-1 possible for the American Navy j It i* explained that thp Navy De partment would have to purchase its liquid fuel from tbe Standard j Oil Company and that it is irapossi ble for the government to put fjself in the position xA being at the >. mercy of one corporation for~ sinews ot war. The Standard Oil Company on the other hand does not care particularly about selling liquid fuel to the Navy. It means aelling crude or almost crude oil, and tbe Standard can make more money out of refinning oil than it can aelling it crude.

The Government ishelpless. Prohibition Matter Settled The lower branch of legislature last nigljt declared for prohibition in no uncertain language. They passed the bill originating in the Senate except changing the date oi election from tbe first Thursday in August to the hist Thursday in April. The measure passed on very near a unanimous vote, there being only three dissenting votes in the entire body. This disposes of the whiskey question so far as the present General Assembly is loacerned and baring the wasting of a about three months it disposes of it as a State issue, because it is as sure to be carried in this state as the sun is to rise-on the morn ing of the 28th of April, 1908. Don't worry yourself about the final issue. A few whiskey cities may succeed in dividing the vote 111 half, if they do this it is their limit, tbe balance of the State which feels a greater interest in the young men of the State than tliey do of the soul destroying money will be the Gibraltra behind which the guns of temperance will lind an impregnable fortress of everlasting right.—lndustrial Ad vocate. aßth. There is hist as much money in the conntr™ as there ' ever was. There are plenty of people scatter ed throughout N the country who hive money, and it is only through imaginary fright that they are hold ing it instead of paying what they owe. The business men must stop talking panic and scarcity of money if they want to see confidence res tored and times get better.—Green ville Reflector. "This is the year to make money if one has the capital and the nerve to back it up," said a business man yesterday.

Random Shots About the Farm Grow corn and oats in abund ance, but do not overlook the lowly peanut. It will fill the pork barrel cheaply. Do uot waste feed by giving it to stock that have wet, uncomfortable sleeping quarters. Less feed and more comfort would be better. Without good seed there cannot be a good stand of corn, and no one can tell whether he has good seed if he does not test ft before it is planted. In setting out fruit or shade trees do not treat them as if they were weeds. Prepare the land for them as thoroughly as for any val uable crop. The bank swallows are one of the best kinds of birds that exist, from the farmer's viewpoint. Thought less boys should not be allowed to molest them.

Good work stock well fed go far toward making a good har vest. —Progressive Farmer Tki Piri Fooi Lit Secretary Wilson says,"One of the objects of the law is to inform the coustimer of the presence of certain harmful drugs in medi cines." The law requires that the amount of chloroform, opium, mor phine, and other habit forming drugs be stated on the label of each bottle. The manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy have always claimed that their remedy did not contain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the label. This remedy is uot only one of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds. Its value has been prov en beyond question during the many years it lias been in geueral use.
