Tho Western Missouri Court of
Appeals has decided that a member
of a church congregation is not liable
in law for the payment of the pastor's
salary, and that a minister of the
gospel must depend upon the good
consciences of the members of his
flock for his pay and has no legal
hold upon them for it. This decision
was made in tho suit brought by Rev.
J. II. Riffe against tho congregation
of the First Baptist church of Mon

gaged at a salary of $800 a year, but
was not paid that much, so ho sued
for the balance. Tho clergyman won

Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
Effected Cure.
Heart distase is curable, but in people of
advanced age it does not readily lend itself
to ordinary treatment. There is, however,
hope for all sufferers in Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure, which we know from watching hun
dreds of cases andy rom the letters of grateful
sufferers, will cure where all else has failed.
It is not only a wonderful cure for weak and
diseased hearts, but it is a blood tonic, a reg
.tdator of the heart's action and the most
effective treatment ever formulated for im
proving the circulation of the blood.
"During the Civil war I contracted heart
disease, and in 1896, while living in the grand
old town of Lexington, Va., I grew so much
worse, I left there with my wife to visit my
sister-in-law, Mrs. T. A. Kirby, at Roanoke,
Va. While I said nothing to anyone I never
expected to live to return to the dear old
town. On reaching Mrs. Kirby's she insisted
I should try Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. I pro
cured a few bottles of it, abo thc Nervine
and Tonic. After using one or two bottles, I
could see no Improvement, and I despaired
of ever being better, but my faithful wife in
sisted on keeping it up, which I did. Im
provement soon began In earnest and I took
tn all fifteen or sixteen bottles. I was re
stored to perfect health and while I am 70
years old. I am comparatively a boy. You
sir, are a benefactor, and I cheerfully recom
mend Dr. Miles' Heart Cure to suffering

Good Roads Convention in St. Louis.
No more successf ul convention waa ever
held in the interest of any industrial
movement than the Good Hoads Conven
tion that waa bold in St. Louis from April
27th io 2Mb, iuolusive. In the number
and intelligence of its delegates, in its
enthusiasm ind working capacity, in its
unanimity and singleness o? purpose, In
the number pf able speakers and freedom
from partisan or political influences, it
was seldom If ever equaled.
Two thousand delegates from nearly
every State and Territory in the Union
attended the convention. From the first
day to tbe last the most dominating idea
waa the necessity of government aid in
tho construction of rural routes-govern
ment aid to be conditioned upon an equal
amount of local aid aa set forth in the
Brownlow bill. All the speakers, with
the exception of one or two, dwelt upon
this idea, and the thundering applause
that followed each speaker left no room
for doubt as to the sentiment of the con
vention on this point. No less oonvino-1
lng was tbe ominous silence or oourteous
frigidity that followed the speakers that j
did not give their full support to this pre
dominating idea.
The best evidence, however, was in the
adoption of the declaration of principles
and resolutions on the last day of the
meeting. Thors was not a dissenting
voice in .hat large assemblage. The dec
laration of principles asset forth asserted
that the building of good roada in the
'United States is now of paramount im
portance to national prosperity and com
mercial supremacy; that the harmonious
co-operation of township, oounty, State
and national governments is needed in
furtherance of this end ; that though the
appropriations hitherto made by Con
gress for the improvement of the rivers
and harbors were beneficent and com
mendable, yet the time has ooma when
the agricultural districts should be as
sisted in the matter of building of high
ways, so that the benefits of the free |
mall delivery may be exteuded and thus
promote a higher order of citizenship
and also meet the ever-growing necessi
ties of the great agricultural interests of j
the country, upon which its prosperity
and growth depend.
The establishment throughout the
United States of a complete H nd perfect
organization for this purposo was recom
mended, and the delegates assembled
were made representatives of the national
organization of the Good Roads Associa
tion to carry forward this local organiza
tion. The work of tho ofllce of tho pub
lic-road inquiries was endorsed, and the
sense of tue convention was that its op
portunities should be enlarged and its
\: iuliics.'i extendod by a larger appro
priation.
Tho principle of State and oounty co
operation was commended, and it was
more than once emphasized that it is as
much the duty of tho General Govern
ment to assist iu the building of high
ways as it is to improve tho rivers and
harbors.
The resolution favoring national aid is I
to be presented to the Congross of tho
United States by a commit tce composed
of one member from each S' .te, to be
solectcd by the secretary of the National
Good Roads Association. Tho building
of tho Memorial Road from Monticello
to the University of Virginia in honor of
Tiiomas Jefferson, who signed the first j
bill for tho construction of a national
highway on March 29, 1800, was unani
mously approved and endorsed by tho
convention.
Among tho most distinguished speak
ers at the convention were l 'resident |
Roosevelt, Wm. J. Bryan, Senator Lati
mor, of South Carolina, and Governor
Cummins, of Iowa. Mr. Roosevelt and
Mr. Bryan both spoko of the necessity of
building bottor highways for the nation,
and though neither committed himself to
tho proposition of advocating govern
ment aid, yet tho inference was clear
that both would favor such expenditures.
Senator Latimer made a strong, earnest
and unanswerable argumont in favor of
government aid. His words fell upon a
uighly-appreciativo audience, and tho
walls of Odean 11 all resounded with ac
clamations at intervals throughout his
address, and at its close the applauso
continued for several minutes. There
will bo no moro earnest worker for good
roads in tho next CongreBB than Senator j
Latimer.
The speech of Govornor Cummins was
disappointing to the Iowa dolegatos.
Without an exception they wore in favor
of national aid, but Governor Cummins,
while not opposing such Congressional
appropriations, thought tho wisdom of
such a policy at least problematical and
its propriety doubtful.
Tue President made some good points.
Among other things, ho said:
"It is tho habit of road building that
gives to a peoplo permanent greatness.
"The development of tho iron road has
been nil that one could wish, but it
mero presumption to consider good rail
ways as substitutos for good highways.
"We want to see cities built up, but
not nt tho expense of tho country dis
tricts.
"If the winter means to tho average
farmer a long line of liquid morasses
through which he must painfully force
his team if bent on business, and through
which he must wade or swim if bent on
pleasure; if an ordinary rainstorm means
that tho farmer's boy or girl cannot uso
their bicyoles, you nave got to expeot
that those who live in tho rural districts
will not find farm lifo attractive.
"Wo should all oncourpgo any chook to
tho unhealthy flow from the country tO|
the city."
This movoment in favor of government
aid is gathering strongth day by day. It
will reach such proportions ny the moot
ing of tho next Congress that uo Con
gressman, who has any regard for his
own popularity, will bo able to resist it.
Several oonvorsions occurred during this
national convention. Several who came
propaied to resist tho movoment were
astonished at tho depth and unanimity of
sent i ment, among tho delegated of all
politieal parties. The impulse is gather
ing strength, and he who would not be
swept away must movo with it,
Whon the proposition for government
co opci at ion in the building of highways
was first broached its wisdom only
touched a fow minds that rose high ahovo
others in economio thought. But with
the movement of timo ita wise provis
ions wero caught aud rollooted from the
lowly hills and deon valleys of thought
until now the whole country is bright
ened with the benefloenioof its purposes,
except in tho oaso of a few politicians
who aro so wrapt in the obscuration of
tho fogs of thoir own greatness, or it
may be vanity, that no light, howover
bright, is able to pierce tho profound
darkness of their prejudiced minds.-J.

For Good Roads.
Spartanburg, May 7.-Spartanburg
couuty is wide-awake as to good roads
and to securing the best machinery for
improving and permanently benefiting
tho publio highways. The oounty pos
sesses six steel Champion road machines
and each of the three ohaingang squads
has an additional machine. Reoently the
commissioners purohased a portable rock
bin, two spreading cars and one traotion
engine, securing a completo rook crush
ing plant which has the great advantage
of being portable, and is easily moved
from place to place. This maohinery
was bought from Col. W. A. Neal, State
representativo of the Good Roads Ma
chi neiy Company, of Kennet Square,
Penn. This engine and rook crushing
plant was taken to Hillsvllle, where a
road about two miles in length is being
macadamized from Hillsvllle to Enoree.
The engine was put in order and tho
plant made ready for rock orushiug and
macadamizing. Yesterday County Com
missioners Thornton and Wingo in
spected the now machinery and aro thor
oughly pleased with the results. Ma
cadam roads are what this eounty needs.
Col. Neal stated that it costs from $600
to $800 per milo to build these thorough
fares with improved machinery. A few
years ago tho cost of macadamizing was
from $2,000 to $5,000 per mile. Col.
Neal stated that nineo January 1, 1903, ho
has sold $50,000 worth of road machinery
throughout South Carolina, which shows
that the spirit for better highways is
general and growing.
Kershaw County has purohased $8,000
worth of road machinery.

l.atimor's Plans to Secure Good Roads.
Anderson, May 5.-Senator A. C. Latti
mer passed through the oity last night I
on his way home from st. Louis, where
ho had been attending the convention of
tho National Good Roads Association.
He was one of the principal speakers at
the convention. Mr. Latimer said that
he expected to visit every section of the
State this summer where an interest is
being manifested in good roads and make
speeches on the subject. He considera
good roads one of tho most important
matters that can concern the people of |
tho State and be is anxious to see thom
become more interested.
Mr. Latimer's plan is to have the Fed- i
oral government hear one-half of the ex
pense, the State one-fourth and the
count y or township one-fourth. For in
stance, by this plan, if Anderson county
should vote $25,000 worth of bonds for
making good roads she would get an ad
ditional $75,000 worth of work done. He
says that ho expects to introduce and
push legislation along this line at the
next session of Congress.

A Model Mill Town.
Ono of tho model cotton-milling towns
is Polzer. It bas a population of about
7,000, but bas no municipal government
or officers except a few policomen, whose
rolo is evidently largely a matter of pre
caution. Pelzor has, at different times,
figured in the press of the country be
cause of its peouliar, yet most gratifying,
status, ensuring the moral and material
welfare and development of the em
ployees of the cot ton mill whose estab
lishment created the town. The popu
lation consists of tho mill operatives,
officers, superintendent, storo-kc apers
and school teachers. These are all em
ployees of the Pelzer Manufacturing Co.,
which operates a total of 120,000 ring
spindles and 3,200 looms in the manufac
ture of sheeting, shirtings and drills.
This corporation, through its president,
Ellison A. Smyth, manages the entiro
community. It owns the churches,
hotels, schools, bank, armory and
lyceum. The best, possible service
is rendered in the oonduct of these dif
ferent requirements of modern home and
business life. The educational advan
tages referred to and the facilities of the
lyceum, as well as all the other desirable
features of Pelzer, aro furnished the
employees and their families by the cor
poration. One of the most peculiar regu
lations in Pelzer is the exclusion from its
limits of lawyers, editors, actresses and
negroes. They aro not allowed to estab
lish a domioile there.-Manufacturers'
