A quarter of a mile peyond Choco winity cross roads where the road is double tracked and very wide, Mrs. Brown was about to drive by a young man who had a lady in the buggy with him and was driv ing very slowly. A man in a bug gy just behind the man and lady deliberately drove across the road in front of Mrs. Brown, and when she attempted to cross over and get by on the other side he headed her off again and deliberately ran into ner bugey and ran it up against a telephone pole. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Gallagher were botb thrown out with vio lence and the buggy broken up and Mrs. Brown seriously injured.

No agricultural people will ever prosper as they should under the existing system of county mads. The cost of bad roads is too heavy a tax upon them. Yet we g- on from year to year making little or no effort to improve upon the old methods. Many counties in this state are grading and improving their roads by macadamizing them or by some other method. Good roads' can be made in this section the same as anywhere else, and we long to see the day when nil our people will wake up to their "in terests and have every public road in the county put in perfect con dition. Those counties that do hot move up in this matter, will get lost in the shuffle. Henderson Gold Leaf. War's Great Cost. Though the Spanish war was but a skirmish as compared with the Civil war, it has been thought necessary to raise almost as much revenue, and the expenditures for our military operations exceeded those of the early years of the civil war, threatening to last for years, there is no probable -re lief from war taxes, and if greater economy is not enforced either a new issue of bonds or higher taxa tion will be necessary before the end of the McKinley administra tion. The economic waste of war is one of its most marked features. Commercial prosperity may hjad the people to submit for a time without protest, but in the end the cost of imperialism and militarism will impress itself upon the mass es of the people who are the chief sufferers, since most of the rich corporations escape the payment of the war taxes by shifting the burden to their patrons, who can only protest and pay. Buffalo Courier. Mac and Mark. It is scarcely possible that Mr; McKinley does not realize that'l Mark Hanna is an offense to all ' persons who hate a bully of high or low degree and who resent a public and boastful exhibition of political immorality. But even if the President shared this senti ment himself he would not be in a position to call down a man who was responsible for his nomina tion for the presidency anil who is pulling all the strings ho can lay his hands on to make McKin ley his own successor.

Chairman Simmons has called a meeting of the Democratic State Executive Committee for Decern - Uer 11th. This meeting at this time is wise. In fact, we can de pend on Chairman Simmons to do the right thing at the right tie. There can be but one object ana result in the meeting, and that is to lay the plans for organizing the white men in the State in the in terest of the Amendment and good 1 government. The committee -should proceed at once on the work of the next campaign. It is true that the State convention will name a committee and there may be a new chairman though we think not and hope not; yet there is work for the present chairman and his able assistants. They must hand over to the State con vention the white voters of the State as a solid mass for the amendment. In no way can this be done so well as in club organi zation. The unions ,in the last campaign were the most powerful factors in the great work that wag done. "There must be perfect pre cinct orgonization. The name of every white man must be at hand and each individual supplied with literature on the amendment. Windsor Ledger. The Ismore Breaking Up. London, Dec 5.
