Forsyth was a noted bootiogger, and was killed id a fight with his pals on tbe streets of Clayton Wednes day night before Thanksgiving -''A point of iuterest is that the hugagrowth in the use of treated material has been largely due its increased use by cor puratioDs which have found by experience that the treating oi timber is a distinct economy. “Probably the most notable piece of uuustruction on a main nigh way is 'tbe treated timber bridge across Nueces Strait, near Corpus Christi, Texas. This bridge was constructed to carry a live truckload of ten tons. It is 8,164 feet long, with a 2U foot clear roadway, aud cootains 1,3000,000 feet of treated timber It takes ibe place of a concrete bridge built in 1915, which was partially destroved by a storm in lOlO and completely destroyed on September 14, 1919. Tbe reason fur the adoption of treated tim ber in place of concrete was, that in case of another storm, it was believed that the only harm that could come to the new bridge WjuIu be a slight damage tu the decking, which could be readily replaced. "As regards bridge timbers, many instances of long service could be quoted. At the Brook lyn Bridge, built in 1882, a num ber of pieces of treated timber were removed in 1909 for track changes, and they were found to be in excellent condition. The balance of the timber is still sound after 43 years’ service. The Southern Pacific Railroad has had creosoted culverts in ser vice on its Portland Division for over 30 years, aod they are still in an excellent state of preserva tion. The C. & 0 Pier No 6, at Newport News, was treated aod installed iu 1863. and the tim bers are still in service.

Beginning: Dec. 1st Co-operation is the only sensi ble way of marketing; however, we do not attempt to justify useless operating expenses, but the members of an organization elect the directors, and tbe di rectors control the overhead ex penses. Blame those responsible for the high expenses, the mem bers themselves. Our terms will be strictly thirty days, and accounts not paid by- the tenth of each month orders will not be filled. We have to pay our bills and you will have to pay yours. It is going to prove to be a man’s job to control the cotton acre ige. They may plant a lit tie less tnan they did in 1926, but some will not have the money nor t he credit to get fertilizer next year, so there will be less made. Both tbe Methodists and the Baptists have expressed theiY minds in regard to Al Smith, and others will later, so if the Democrats nominate him, they will do so with a full knowledge of the situation. Educators say they do not re quire students to store their minds with facts. Mow we have no idea of how to acquire Intel ligence. A man can borrow about ns much money on a bale of cotton as he can sell it for^ so if he sells it,' he wants to. We do not know how much it wilt take to balance the budget.
