People Endorse Says Lexii Editor Dispatch-News: Allow ma to report through your paper the suggestions I have received fromi the people on. the plan I submitted for building and maintaining our public highways. This information was obtained by letters and conversation from those who read my article in your paper. I have exerted myself to get a full and free expression on the subject?for or against?realizing it is a hard one, I wanted all the help j obtainable and from any one who would offer it. First, from those outside Lexington county. About ninety per cent approve it, some wanting it to become a state law that their county would be included?practically -all favored appointing the supervisor or road engineer?preference being given to an engineer and four comissioners. One favored the supervisor having all control, thinking his and the commissioners work would conflict. A small per f cent preferred animals to tractors.

Those having the misfortune to suffer from backache, urinary disorders, gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatic j pains, or other kidney and bladder | disorders, will read with gratification this encouraging statement by a Lex\ ington man. E. S. Roberts, carpenter, Box 132, says: "I have had kidney trouble ever since boyhood. I had a too frequent desire to pass kidney secretions and : , there was an ache through my kid- j neys. I tried different things to get j relief, but didn't secure any, until I j used Doan's Kidney Pills. D,oan's were better than all the rest combined. ; "Whenever I feel the slightest return of the trouble. I take a few of Doan's and they soon fix me up in fine shape." Price 60c^ at all dealers.

MILLER, Mai FF / 5 Ridgell Plan igton's Senator outfits for the county. Second, from those living in the county. All approved the plan and many asked that it be put into operation soon as possible. One suggested the supervisor serve for two years. Some favored a road engineer I a ctmprviciftr and flhnut twpntv.fivp per cent wanted the supervisor elected instead of appointed. Assuming- this to be a fairly good , j'expression of what our people want, ( [and will approve the means of bringi ing it about, I see nothing left for the ^ delegation to do but put it in opera- t I _ tion as soon as possible, if we would comply with the desires of our consti, tuents. Now how can it be done at the ' least cost to the tax payers and get it operating in 1920; as the money borrowed in 1919 to rebuild roads and bridges, caused by the heavy rains; must be paid out of the 1920 taxes? -This way, find out the amount it will take to buy tractors and road machines for each district, also the amount the county is to match from the federal aid and (hose two is the, amount to ru'se. This should be borrowed by whatever means is necessary, for a period of five years and paia orr in live annual payments, Jtmsis the only practical way* to accomplish it at a minimum tax rate per annum and get to work at once. Time is short, so our delegation must decide quickly if we are going to try to do anything to better the roads. The peo'ple we have the honor to serve have let us know in no uncertain language that they want their roads improved and it becomes our bounden duty to give them the best we are capable of. I think our delegation will meet soon and go over the plan very carefully, try to improve it and get it ready to introduce at the opening of the legislature. Finally my conclusions: Our people are decidedly in favor of the plan and want it soon as possible. Their getting it, depends upon the action of their senator and representatives. Mr. Editor, I thank you for the use of your columns through which I j could present the matter to our peo- j pie. To all who have written or j spoken to me on the plan, accept my j deep appreciation. X will not discuss or say any more on the subject. E. C. RIDGELL. 9 d Sixes He : Us Give You a Demonstratior Repair Departtn ;ion.
