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. All
favored a heavy tractor and road machine
for each district?making four

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."

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.

Farmers are generally done gathering
corn very good on an average peas
and potatoes fair, cotton about sixty
per cent of last years crop.
Owing (we suppose) to the unusual
hot fall, farmers are somewhat backward
in sowing small grain.

There is but one legitimate excuse
?or a paTe. run-down, listless child,
md that is some serious disease of
>ne or more of the vital organs, which,
)f course, needs the prompt attention
)f a competent physician. Unless
;uch condtion exists, the- weak, white
-oungster who takes no pleasure in
omping or playing can be very maerially
helped by a course of that
horoughly dependable blood en- ij
icher and general tonic, Gude's Pepo-MVt'ngan.
This standari remedy
or Anemia (Bloodlessness) has been
:ontinuously prescribed by physicians
ill over the world for thirty years,
o restore the weakened, watery
)Iood to its normal condition. and
hus improve appetite, add color to
)ale lips and cheeks aaxi impart
itrength to the whole body. Gude's
5epto-Mangan can be had in both
iquid and tablet form (no difference
n its effect), the liquid, of course,
)eing preferable for young chiliren.
When buying Pepto-Mangart,
