IDEHJ.II. SOUTHERN •rimitive Baptist Minister of Meadows Township For the Bond Issue. >IEANS GOOD ROADS afest Way To Get To the Court House Is On Foot —The Roads Are Dangerous. liermantoii, March 21. klr. Editor ; As one who is lookiry? for good "oads in our township 1 Meadows) j wish to say to the voters of old stokes: Come let us reason to gether. Let's not say so many »rd things about each other. !ne has said it is not good that an should be alone, so that »ows us plainly we need each ithers help. We need not say; ve can live without you. There j sno one so full handed that he :an live by himself. You may hink so and try it if you wish hen you will soon see the need if a friend. Now 1 am glad ach voter has a right to vote he way he thinks best in this mportant matter. So the bonds ire to be voted on soon. If carried t means good roads. Now I vant to say to each vo'er in Stokes county when a matter is o be settled by a vote let each •oter go to the polls and vote as le thinks best. If I have thought ight we need good roads. We lave a grand old county. Think. ;oter. what we have. We have ine mineral water, we have he finest ore. we have a lot of ine timber, we have lots more ire could mention. We have pnough in old Stokes to bring Iter up We can't bring her up in one year but we can start the aid county by making good roads. [ long to see the time come when see can start and have good roads, I see good roads start then [ can say old Stokes can yet some. Think of it. voter, we lave a good court house. Let lie ask you the safest way to get » it. What would lie the answer? My answer would be on foot, ft'hen we have all the blessings ive could wish for and no roads ;o them how could we appropriate Jiem? lam willing to pay my ittle part of the taxes to have food roads. That is not all, we leed another bridge or two. Let's >uild them. One thing I must ay something about is our lounty home which is a shame to lur county. Look at the location, Stiff Joints Sprains, Braises are relieved at once by an applica tion of Sloan's Liniment. Don't rub, just lay on lightly. ••Sloan's Liniment has dono more fool than anything 1 have ever tried or still joints. 1 £t>t iny hand hurt >o belly that 1 had to nt»>p work right in tUe liuaiot time of the year. 1 thought at tiiat that 1 would have to have my band taken off, hut I got a bottle of biouu's Linitm-nt and cured my hand." WILTON WUKLLLU, Mori id, Ala. Good for Broken Sinews G. U. JOXRS, Baldwin, L. 1., writes: —"1 used Sloan'* Liniment for broken sinews above the knee cap caused by a fall and to my great satisfaction was able to resume work in loss than three weeks after tho accident." SLOAN'S LINIMENT Fine for Sprain MR. TTFNRV A. VoniL, 84 Snmerwt St., PIHIIIIIUM, N. WRITES :" A friend sprained his ankle so badly th it it went Mack. He laughed when I told him that 1 would have him out in a week. I applied Sloan's Liniment and in four dava ho was working and Slid Sloan's uaS u right good Liul lueut." look at the cabins, look at the roads to them. I want to say to the county commissioners, how would we like to live in that hole which is a shame and a disgrace to our county. I say please buy us a location and build us a county home. If you can't buy it cheap buy it high and let our county pay for it. I know some one will criticise it but buy and build us a county home. Never let it once be told that our grand old county can't come to the front- Some one may hack at this but it's hard to hack the truth. Respectfully, J. H. SOUTHERN.

C. 15jan2n.o Guard Your Children Against Bowel Trouble Many children at an early age become constipated, and frequently serious consequences result. Not being able to realize his own con dition, a child's bowels should be constantly watched, and a ncntle laxative given when necessary. i>r. Miles' Laxative Tablets are especially well adapted to women and children. The Sisters of Christian Charity, 531 Charles St., Luzerne, l'a., who attend many cases of sickness say of them: "Some time uco we began uslns I>r Miles' l.nx.itiw TuU.-ts and lml that we like them wry much. Tlivlr action is excellent ami we are gra!> f::', f-> having li-en mailt- n'iunim 1 twit them. We have had «»•«! tvstiltf in eery ease ami the Si- SiTc arc \ much pleased." The form anil flavor of any medi cine is very important, n > m.'.tnr who i> to take it. The t.irte and appearance are especially important ttlu-ti children are concerned. All parents know how hard it is to give the average child "medicine," even though the taste is partially dis guised. In u.-ing Dr. Miles' Lax ative Tablets, however, this diffi culty is overcome. The shape of the tablets, their appearance' and candy-like taste at once appeal to any child, with the result that they are taken without objection. The rich chocolate flavor and absence of other taste, make Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets the ideal remedy for children. If the first box fails to benefit, the price is returned. Ask your druggist.

THE IMNBURY REPORTER What Bushels More to the | Acre Means I IGHT years ago the farmers in a central state averaged crops that ran three bushels less to the acre than they now get Suppose each J n Y l . acre of farm land in the country were so tended that it produced an increase equal to that of this state. How much more money would you have with which to buy the luxuries of life that you earn and deserve? I Your share in this prosperity depends entirely upon yourself. The first step is to fertilize your land properly with manure spread by an I H C Manure Spreader | The spreader that does its work as it should must have many excellent mechanical features. The apron should move without jerking; the beater should meet the load at exactly the right point to pulverize the manure without too greatly increasing the draft of the machine; the sp> .d changes of the apron should be posi tive Ail these features are provided for in th. „• instruction of I H C spreaders. i i I C spreaders are made in low styles which are not too low for use in deep mud or snow, narrow and wide, with both reverse and end less aprons, for use under all conditions. The rear axle is located well under the box, instead of at the rear. Placed in that position (under the box) it carries over 70 i>er cent of the load and insures ample-tractive power.

Oliver fn Op-J position To the Bond Issue. Kit u\ March 21. j Editors Danburv Reporter: In my letter of Feb. 2"th, pub lished in your issue of Feb. 2Uh, I made use of the following language: "Iredell county, as we all know, recently voted and issu ed bonds for £400,000 for sand- j clay roads. According to their official report not long since pub lished in the papers, they have already spent about half that money, 5>40,000 of which was ex pended for mules and machinery and the chairman of the board of I commissioners now states that j in order to do as much road work I as was promised the voters when the bonds were voted it will be necessary to vote another issue of bonds to the amount of $300,- 1000 ana this too in face of the I fact that they had already spent | more than 5200.000 on macadam roads, which he now states are • so worn as to be only a waste of money." In an attempt to dis parage this part of my letter a j clipping was furnished Mr. R. R. Clark of Iredell county, who pro ceeded at length to edify the readers of the Reporter and at; the bottom of his article signed , his name "Editor of the States ville Landmark," but, mark you, j not as any sort of road official, i This would naturally incline one | to the belief that Mr. Clark con siders himself more of an editor than a road builder, and in this I concur, for he is kept very busy getting out two issues each ; week of his splendid and ably edited paDer. This article was paraded as a double column affair, ! set up in bold face type and per mitted to sail under the box-car heading in half inch print: "Mr. Oliver in error,"—as though the 1...5t word in controversy was now to be uttered, by a world-wide authority, the curtain drop, and both hands up in token of com plete surrender. hy should Stokes enlist, the services of another editor? Have we not j some in this neck of the woods 1 who can theorize as far and write as strongly on road mat-' ters as any of them and as the nature of the subject will admit? 11 Let us compare figures and facts. I stated that they have already j spent about half of' that money I (or $200,000) $40,000 of which i waa expended for mules and ] machinery. Mr. Clark refers to official report of W. S. Fallis, I engineer, for 15 montns, ended 1 Nov. 30, 1912, as published in I the Landmark of Feb. 4, 1913, a copy of which I have, and shows that up to Nov. 30th. there had , been expended a total of sl>9,- j 45610. From information ob ; tained from the next quarterly • report ended Feb. 2Sth, 1913, it seems that the expense ran about $12,(100 net per month after deducting supplies on hand. If so, then from Nov. 30th, to Feb. 20th. the date of my letter, the | total expenditures amounted to as much as $32,00" which added to his figures make $221,456.10 at the time I wrote, and instead of being over the mark I was under it by a safe margin of over twenty-one thousand. This report of VV. S Fallis shows that up to expended for mules and equip ment 538.364.25. Thei\ fore my letter of Feb. 20th, or two . months and 20 days after report, was evidently about right. As totl.atpart "and the chairman of the board of commissioners now states (along about Feb. 20th) that in order to do as much road work as promised the voters ! when the bonds were voted, it ' will be necessary to vote another i issue of bonds to the amount of ■ s3ou,UiK)."—the question on this point depends of course upon ; how much road work was prom | ised during the hot campaign j waged preceding the election, and i which it is hard to ascertain ac ! curately and admittedly. Editor ! Clark understands as he expresses it, that the people were promised that the main thoroughfares of the county would be built, but it seems nothing more, hence his stand. The chairman of the board of commissioners (they have the road building on their hands), can very naturally have the understanding from the law which reads that the road work is to be done, so as to serve every township in the county, (there are Hi townships) and from his observation) information and ex perience both while the respon sible and irresponsible spell bind ers were netting in thtir work for the bond issue, and since that time when he has no doubt been called upon to build roads pro miscuously over the county, that prior to the election nearly every voter got the impression, as many of our own people here: now seem to be getting, that the Kublic road leading by their; ornes would be served with at j least a small 3lice of road im- 1 provement. So there we are, with each honestly, no doubt, | believing as he expivues it. But lam inclined to take my infor- mation from road officials them selves. The rest of my quotation reads: ' And this too in face of the fact that they had already spent more than $200,000 on macadam roads which he now states are so worn (at that time) as to be only a waste of money." I am informed that for about ten years the county has been paying a special tax which began at about $17,500 and has been in creased to something like SBI,OOO, averaging as much as $20,000 per year, or more, and that this has been used with their chain gang in building macadam roads have evidently cost not less than *200,000. Editor Clark does not deny that the macadam roads have, in this brief space of time, practically worn out, but says they were not a "total loss!" Certainly not, for no doubt they rendered more or less service in the ten years. He adds: "But it has been found that macadam roads are too expensive for the life of the road, as'they soon wear out." Yes. that fact has been found by Iredell and many other rich counties too, through the experience school route which has exacted many thou sands for tuition. But with many times our property such counties can rally and come again. lam wondering if Mr. C ark did not as strongly favor land know just as much about ; macadam roads a few years ago, which are now, it seems, admit ted by all to be a failure, as he 1 now favors and knows about sand-clay roads which, it must Jbe admitted, are comparitively guessing and hence in the ex perimental stage. Editor Clark out of the abundance of his heart | and the overflow of his enthus ; iasm for the cause, also gives us the benefit of this: "But I can , not conclude without saying that Stokes county will make a great | mistake if it fails to vote the bond issue for roads." Now how j did Mr. Clark come into possess | ion of this important and vital i fact? Wonder if he was ever ' inside Stokes or even saw it? and does he know sufficiently our needs and our limitations in mat terof wealth and broken country? We will of course, subject his opinion, statement and advice to the usual old telling test,—that of giving it just such weight as we think his knowledge of the subject matter under considera tion will justify. And judging from the road record his county has made to date, or rather has failed to make, it seems to me that for Stokes to go to Editor Clark or any other citizen of Iredell county for dependable information on constructive road building would be about as wise as it would be for a citizen to apply to a bald headed barber for | a restorative to make hair grow ' luxuriantly upon the topmost i peak of a barren and glossy I cranium.
