Take Hall's Family Pills for constipation. Some By-products Of Good Roads. A recent enactment of the Leg islature "provides a bond election for Roxboro Township, looking of course to the permanent improve ment of the roads of this township. The act.itself fixes the amount or limit of the bond issue to $75,000. It is certain that we can not exceed the authority of the Legis lature and therefore the amount fixed in the bill. Let us thn con sider the propriety of this election and the benefits to be derived from the same. ; . As a proponent of this bill and an advocate of good roads, I wish to say in the beginning that I in vite no quarrel with its opponents. It is a question to be settled by the individual voters of our town ship. I have a right to favor the passage of this bill; I shall not gainsay your right to oppose it. It does, however, behove every elector to study well the provis ions of this act; the benefits to be derived from its adoption, before he allows t is YPte to defeat the Measure. As an advocate then of the pro posed bond election, I shall admit the burdens incident to any bond election. The bill if carried will impose an additional ' tax of not more than fifteen cents on every $100. worth ot property. And this is the only argument that can be used against the issuance of bonds for such purposes: It creates a debt to be paid in the future; the unusuathiug about such a debt is that we are given forty years to pay it and that it bears less than 6 per cent interest. Frankly this is the only argument that can be, used against such an election and when we iponsider the present ex penditures of our county, this is hardly an argument. But admit the burden; let us look to some of the advantages this fifteen cents tax will bring. I favor the passage of this act not for the tax but for the investment of the tax. In other words I favor it as I favor public education, not for my school tax but for the investment of this school tax. And I believe, in fact, I know that a good road tax will aid my good school tax. It can not be denied ; that when you make your roads "passable, you make your schools prosperous. It will bring your school house nearer your door. It will put your child nearer the teacher. And as with the school, so with your churfen? it will bring you nearer ypur Sunday service. Let me add just fiere that a vote for good roads is a vote for better citizenship; a more enlightened community; in fact it is a vote in the words of the poet for the ik best good." I believe , then in arood roads because it will enlarge our church facilities. It will increase the usefulness of this institution. Now then a vote for good joads eans a voteifor your own house- hold. You can reach your doctor over the phone; there are times when he can only reach you by a good road. A vote then in Jay or of thii measure is a vote folQur own wife.-Advise with her.. on this important question. If a vote of fifteen cent tax will assure me against a possible death,' I shajjtjbre glad of an opportunity to : vote it before I die. I mean just , this jt will j)ut every home in closer touch ! with its physician. . - And now Mr. Voter' listen to just a few more - by-products" of gooa roads. ix - win , ormg your warehouse nearer your ten;' your market nearer your Jiome. In. feet it will be a valuable asset' to every citizen of our county. rljpod roads ! are an. asset; mud holes are a-lia- 'bill ty.. Let us then vote to place our county in line with the progres sive spirit of our state. The good adooted by a maioritV bf the coun-1 ties of our state. Let us accept tjie approaching election as an oppor tunity to go on record witty the best movement ever inaugurated for the upbuilding of our common wealthT S. G. Winstead.

One very enjoyable feature of the County Commencement was an informal luncheon served to the Teachers of Person County by Supt. and Mrs. J. A. Beam, in the superintendent's office, at the noon hour. This with many other kindnesses and marks of hospitality, have won for Supt. and Mrs. Beam great popularity among the teach ers and in view of his work as a progressive superintendent they all expect to look upon him as the right man, in the right place, for a right goodly while. Notice The Board of Education will meet on the 1st Monday in April. All who have business for the con sideration of the Board will plej.se have in shape and be preset on the above named date. J. A. Beam, Cuningham and Woodburn. Our community has buried dur ing the last few days two of our best, men, Mr. J. M. Bray last Friday evening, and Mr. T. L. Reaves on Monday evening. They were both members of the church at Ephesus, and we trust are now enjoying the sunshine of God's smile in the Gloryland. Mr. Bray by great industry and economy had accumulated a nice estate, cul tivating a farm and also very suc cessfully merchandising, he help ed his own people and did much for the poor around in his section. Having a store he was kind to them and indulged them, and wait ed for them to get able to pay him. Marshall v'as a very useful man and will doubtless be greatly missed by us all. He was twice married, first to Miss Mollie Frank lin and lastly to Mrs. Robert Bray his brothers widow. Mr. Reaves was a farmer and a most excellent one, he improved it and brought it up to a high state of. cultivatian, and raised a large family who are all doing well in life, and are ornaments to society. He was perfectly devoted to his church at Ephesus, and ev ery first Sunday unless he was too sick to go, he was in his pew ready to hear the word of God from the ministers'lipsvHe was a man of tine christian character, and I have riever heard a man speak one word against him, and he surely had no enemies. He was ready willing and anxious for the Lord to take him as he no doubt had suffered much pain for the last several years, as he he was in the hospital for a con siderable time, and remained as I tut The Ford car is built to serve and to save.
