Dear Sir:
I was glad to see "little Aleck"
f a step forward when she
voted for good roads. Anyone
that uses the roads as much as I
do can appreciate them more. It
is the best step the county has
ever taken. This state is im
proving her roads rapidly.
I always carry the Scout or
Landmark with me to show these
Georgia crackers what North
Carolina is doing; that being a
good produce market these
Georgia merchants are always
interested. No chickens or eggs
here unless shipped, no dried
iruit at all. By the way, let me

Young men unsteady.
Girls lively and in demand.
Papas firm but declining.
Mamas unsettled.
Coffee considerably mixed.

Eggs quiet but ex pec led U

Whiskey still going down.
Onions strong. Yeast rising.

Well, how is that compared t

You have the best people, tht
oest climate and water in th.
country. Let every Alexander
be a booster. That's what make.
towns, schools and good citizens.
If you are afraid of your owi

Law Still Effective.
Washington, D. (Ir-Many oi
the press comments on the de
cision of the- United States Dis
trict Court rendered March 20,
at Topeka, Kansas, holding that
the Federal Misxatory Bird Law
is unconstitutional according t
the United States Department oi
Agriculture, are erroneous anc.
are apt to mislead the public
concerning the real situation in
this matter.
The Kansas decision like a
former f decision to the same
effect in the Eastern -District of
Vu'kansas, is limited in its opera
tion solely to the district in
wnich it was rendered. Neither
Jeci -;un settles or nullifies the
a v, and the exact' contrary has
uo 'n held by the United States
District Court for South Dakota,
fne Arkansas case has teen ap
pealed to, and is now pending in,
t .e United States Supreme Court.
The Act of Congress protecting
migratory birds stands effective
until the Supreme Court fihaliy
decides the question of its con
stitutionality. In the meantime,
it is incumbent ori every law?
abiding citizen , to observe its
provisions and the regulations. It
is the duty of the department of J
Agriculture to enforce this law
and the officials in charge will
endeavor to do so as long as it is
force. Reports of violations will
be carefully investigated and
when : suficieflt evidence is Be
it should not be forgotten that
an offender against this, as in
the case of other United States
laws, is subject to prosecution
any . time within three years
from the date the offence is
committed.
A Cure For Sour Stomach.

A Black-and-White
Summer.
The men's shirts and the wo
men's cotton dress goods in black
and white stripes was a decree
of fashion, but it may be made
a necessity in styles on account
of the scarcity of dye-stuffs, of
which the papers have had so
much to say. It appears that the
American mill people are de
pendent on Germany except in
the matter of black dyes. Of
this the home mills will have as
much as they may care to use,
and as that is about the only
iyestuff that will be available
ifter a time, black goods in both
stripes and checks will become
the popular thing. The fact de
velops that there is plenty of dye

now loaded and tied up at the

Sngland, however, is not in much
