ANENT THE HIGHWAY ACROSS THIS COUNTY The Rutherford County Board of Commissioners is in receipt of a letter from State Highway Commissioner Page stating that the estimated cost of building the Ruther ford county link of the Char lotte-Asheville highway across this county is u w $175,000 instead of the first estimate of StOO,GOO. It will be remembered that the five townships of Colfax, Cool Springs, Rutherford ton, Green Hill and Chimney Rock, thru which the high way will run, agreed to put up their pro rata part of SIOO 000 to build the road. This money is now at hand, but as the road will cost about twice-as much as at first thought, the county commissioners want some ex pression from the people be fore proceeding further. In terested persons may write to the commissioners or ap pear befor- 4 the board at its next meeting which will be in the county court house the first Monday in Maich. '1 he members of the board and their addresses are as follows: (xeo F. Watson, Rutherford ton; T. J. Wilkius, Henrietta; J. A. Martin, Elienboro. The Courier it would be wise to go ahead and build the road as soon as possible. There iw no doubt but that it is needed and there is no indication that it could be built cheaper witli- in several years. All indi cations point toward higher prices for labor arid material and the longer we put off building the road the more it will cost us. The road will eventually be built, so why should we do without its ben efits several years and then pay more for it, when we need it and are able to build it now? If we are correctly inform ed, the federal government is to pay one-half the cost of this road, the state one fourth, and the five town ships it touches will pay only one-fourth. If this be so the l uilding of the road would bring more money into the county than it would take out, for full* one half the cost would be paid for labor and other things furnished by the county. Let the commissioners hear from you, whether you favor the building of the road now or not. Farmers Union Will Meet at Forest City The Farmers Union of Rutherford county will meet at Forest City on February 28, 1920, for the purpose of electing all county officers.

My Commission Expires February 14, 1920 THE BEST INSURANCE AGAINST INFLUENZA Prominent Educator Believes That Vapomentha Is A Sure Preventive Dr. R. M. Brame, discoverer of Brame's Vapomentha Salve, has a letter from C. C. Wright, Superinten dent of the Wilkes County, N. C., Public Schools, in which he says: "We have used Brame's Vapomentha Salve for nearly all the ills for which it is prescribed and have always se cured satisfactory results. If used in time it has never failed to break up colds, usually the forerunner of Grippe, Influenza and Pneumonia. 1 speak from personal ob servation. I believe if this prepara tion is used in time it will prevent the development of pneumonia in every instance, if used according to directions." * These strong statements are fully * justified by the remarkable recov-1 eries that follow. Brame's Vapo-i mentha Salve is applied freely over, the chest and throat and inserted in ON YOUR GROCERIES On account of being unable to get a store room in the town of Forest City, we have moved our entire stock of groceries to West End.

Drug Co., North Wilke»;boro, N. C. IA small bottle cost 30c.; a much larger one, containing six times as much, $1.20. —Adv. Fate of Dennis Lovelace In Hands of Governor The Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, writing under date of February 11, says: Raleigh, Feb. 11. —Whether R. Dennis Lovelace, sentenced to be electrocuted for killing his father-in-law, H. E. Ed wards, who he claims, broke up his home by getting his wife and four children away from him, forbidding even a conference on the subject of a reconciliation, is now up to Governor T. W. Bickett, who is expected to announce his decision shortly. Lovelace lost his appeal in the supreme court and as yet no date for the execution has been set. Today the young man's father, G, W. Lovelace, of Union Mills; J. W. Pless, of Marion and W. C. Mcßorie, of Rutherfordton, held a lengthy con ference with the governor, pleading for the prisoner's life, asking that the death sentence be commuted to life im prisonment. The father is an elderly man and has an honest, industrious ap pearance. There is strong sentiment for com mutation in the vicinity of Rutherford ton, where the killing occurred. The petition presented to the governor is signed, it was said today by Mr. Pless, by 2,000 persons. Included in the list are all the county officers of Rutherford; all the lawyers who appeared in the case, except the prosecuting attorney, who was a relative of Edwards, and every jurymen except one. «.ite Judge's Decision Pleading before the governor, the boy's father and the two other advo cates cited this from the opinion of Judge William R. Allen in supreme court: "We have examined the record with care and find no error; but we cannot but be impressed by the evidence, which shows very clearly that this tragedy, which has wrecked two homes, could have been easily averted if the deceased and his wife had given a little encouragement to their daughter to re turn to her home and her duties." It is claimed by the defendant's advo cates that his wife went to the home of her parents and that, without provoca tion, she was prevailed upon by her parents, H. E. Edwards, and his wife, not to return to him. Not only, there by, was Lovelace, he claims, bereft of his wife but of his four children, also. The elder Lovelace said today that when his son was in jail, one of his children went to see him and the wife of Ed wards raised serious objection, censur ing the jailer for admitting the child to see its father. Sensational Case This case, one of the most sensation al in years in Rutherford county, has been pending for some time. The killing occurred a year ago last Septem ber and the case was finally passed on by the supreme court before Christmas adjournment. Mr. Pless, Mr. Mcßoxie and Love lace's father returned to the western part of the state this afternoon. While the governor gave no intimation as to what course he would pursue, he told them he would carefully review papers in the case. Lovelace's advocates are very much encouraged. They take the view that no one has ever been execu ted for a case of this sort and believe that the governor will show clemency. West End Locals J. M. Hughey and daughter, Ray, visited their cousins Friday near Henri etta. Miss Sallie Blanton was called to the bed side of her sister, Mrs. Mary Self, of Henrietta.
