"' -.. r: ' This is what the; iertnient of Justice agent, now in Raleigh, regard as the most important element that figured in his trail and capture of the three Georgia men wanted for over a month for desertion and . mur der. Since his arrival here S JtUrday morning, it has been learned that Young will receive $60.0 reward for the arrest of the three men $600 offered by Union county, Georgia and $300 by the, government. His story of' hunting the three "out-la ws" - and their subsequent capture in a hut not so far from where their mother was critically illj-perhaps dying furnishes an interesting and thrilling story of daring anl coolness Mr. Young told this story to the Atlanta . Journal when he carried his three prisoners to Atlanta. In his .narrative of bis work, in North Carolina, he also tells something of his life. ' Mr. Young's account of how he followed the fugitives by their foot prints inNthe snow, as it 'appeared in the Atlanta Journal, is as follows: "I have been special . agent for thejDepartment of Justice for about two years; My heaaqUartera are in Asheville. l&y businesses to nhunt down deserters and t government outlaws " v' ! : T started after the Crawieyslast I knew the v th6uaiotoFber: I first went to Fontana, N.

I could oot cross there jo went back to Asheville then to Kuoxville, then to Maryyille, and finally to a point about five miles from Alcoa." 1 "There I struck the trail of the Crawleys ana tracked them on foot through the mountains. The snow was heavy, and I trailed them by their footprtnts in the snow. I work ed all that night, laid up next day and came on the Crdwleys next morning. I dould not ask anybody for information, because they Were all friends oj the Crawleys; I couldn't even let myself be Seen; All I had to folio w them by were their tracks in the snow. , , "Tuesday mornihg about 40 o'clock I reached the cabin where I knew they were hiding.

Holley, residing at 427 BrecKenridge street, Lexington, Kentucky. ' 1 was in an awful fix for over two months," he continued, 4 and my whole system seemed to be run down and worn out. Rheumatism was my worst trouble, my muscles seemed to be tied in knots. I could hardly deep at night and would feel as tired in the morning as when I lay down at night. My digestion was affected, I had no appetite, my nervous system was disordered, and I suffered with awful headuches. The rheumatism would draw me up so l couldn't use my right arm at all. "One day a friend of mine told me about Tanlac and I got a bottle and started taking it It has certainly made a new man of me. I can eat anything I want, and this is some thing I haven't been able to do in years, and I sleep like a log at night. That awful rheumatism is all gone and my strength has been restored and built up in every way. I sure am glad to tell others what Tanlac has cci-e for nie" Tanlac is sold in Sylva by the Syiva Pharmacy,, in Erastus by M. L. doggius, in Uienviiie b y W. M Fowler, and by all good druggists.

C, SITUATION Farmers ROAD BILL (Editorial from Raleigh News and Observer, Feb. 15, 1919.) t The Stacy road bill fails in sever al particulars of being the sort of bill that the occasion demands at this time. It is not comprehensive eno ugn in point of time and mo eVi A prj- 1 k ject so vast, so technical and so delicate as building a svstem of State and National highways requir es the assurance of sufficient funds coupled with sufficient time to in sure the success of the undertaking and a square deal to every part of the State, including the somewhat sparsley settled counties as well as the rich and p pulou3 c mn ties. The Federal Government p'ans for an expenditure covering a period of ten years. Any less comprehensive plan On the part of the State would jeopardize the successful working out of the whole scheme. A two year program is inadequate. The Stacy bill does not provide sufficient funds for the proper main tenance of the proposed State high ways to keep the roads so designated in a passable condition while the building program is in progress. The circumstance of the State high ways being inadequately maintaind w,ould militate against the whole State-wide plan of development. The Stacy bill does not provide adequate and permanent financial support of the Highway Commission and the Federal Government will not enter. info contracts with a de partment which is not a permanent basis. .;v !ffie;tacy bhTdiscredits the prer '-mirMedtndentsicif'the es must iar4 ast involving cnegrpssesr sore 01 injustice u caRes the Governor and ail the 'engineers off the commission, but worst ofTa!i r Would eliminate the map who has done more rosd-huiiding jn North Carolina, than any other one man in the State, Colonel Joseph Hyde Pratt now with the Thirtieth Div- istdn, who has spent the past year building roads and bridges in France and who has been commended by General Haig for his efficieacy. Col onel Pratt is seer jtary of the Amer ican Ass3c at 01 of State Highway Offlcials. IU commands the atten tion and respect of road bui'ders 0 the entire country. He is both entit led to a place on the Highway Com mission and he is needed there. The road bill is the second most important matter before Legislature. The most important matter isx the matter. of raising revenue, but the road bill is a close second. It should be solved along broad lines. The ben of expert opinion should be availed of. A bill should be passed that would be certain to command the approval and co-operation of the Federal good roads department. The Stacylbill enaqted into law would imperil the whole road enterprise Let's do this thing right while we are about it . THE RIGHT USE OF LIME Some prejudice against the use of lime has been created by an un wise use of it in the past. It was found in art: early day that a heavy application of burned lime would increase crop production on a stiff clay soil. It flocculated the clay particles, improved the ' physical condition of the soil, and made the organic matter quickly available as plant food. The immediate result was an increase in the crop pro ducing power of the soil, and de pendence by the farmer upon lim as a fertilizer. - Within a few year the' vegetable matter of the soii . iiqoH im thfi more avaiiaDit I mineral plant food was changed UOVV. STACY INADEQUATE into' soluble form, and partial soil exhaustion resulted. This irrational Use of lime in European countries gave rise ro the proverbial expres sion, "Lime and lime without ma nure, will make both farm and farmer poor. According to Mr. N. Winters, Extension Agronomist of the W. C. Experiment Station, itwil usually not pay to use lime when corn, cot- Uon and similar crops are grown continuously; but it will pay to ap ply from a ton to three tons of fine ly ground limestone, lime or marl every four or five years when peas, beans, clover and other legumes are grown as much as possible in the rotation for turning back into the soil as greeu manure. The r; tionai use of lime includes the lib eral use of legume crops, green manures and farm manures. . VISITS C N & IS.
