Mr. H. C. McNair discussed the
load problem in a communication pub
lished in Thursday s Robesonian. we
is right, of course, In saying that no
road law of itself will build roads.
He might as truthfully have said,
too, that the people are not going to
build roads under a law that allows
tax themselves for for
buildine roads to be frittered away
in oilinir a political machine. Mr.
MacNair seems to .have the right idea
about employing experts to super
vise road work. We judge that also
he might favor getting advice from
men who have made a study of build
ing roads on what sort of law is best
suited for Robeson. Time and time
again has been tried in Robeson the
plan of calling together the people
to tell their representatives wnat sort
of road law to draft, and always it
lias resulted in confusion and in a
law that failed to bring the desired
results. The Robesonian believes the
people would approve their represent
atives learning from men who know
what sort of law ought to give best
results in this county and passing
such a law, -..'.'.

They Almost Drop. How
Mrs. Conley Got Help.
Here is a letter from a woman who
had to work, but was too weak and suf
fered too much to continue. How aha
regained health :
Frankfort, Ky.-" I suffered BO mnrfi
with female weakness that I could not
do my own work,
had to hire it done.
I heard so much
about LydiaE. Pink
ham's Vegetable
Compound that I
tried it I took three
bottles and I found
it to be all von
claim. NovIfeeIas
well as ever I did and
am able to do all my
own work again. I
recommend it to any woman suffering
from female weakness. You may pub
lish my letter if you wish." Mrs. James
Conley.516 St Clair St , Frankfort, Ky.
No woman suffering from any form of
female troubles should lose hope until
sne nas given Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg-
etaDie compound a lair trial.
This famous remedy, the medicinal
ingredients of which are derived from
native roots and herbs, has for forty
years proved to be a most valuable tonic
and invigoratorof the female organism.
All women are invited to write
to the Lydia E.Tinkham Medi

sale of calomel because it is real liver medicine:
entirely vegetable, therefore it can not salivate or

I guarantee that one spoonful of Dodson's Liver
Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and
clean your bowels of that sour bile and constipated
