Captain, Corps of Engineers, U. S.
Aainy had sent out notices that he
would be here ricxt Saturday to hold
a hearing in regard to proposed
location of , the new bridge across
the V\ accaroaw. The location has
already been decided upon of course,
but tho department always gives
the chance for anybody who opposes
the location of a bridge across a
navigable stream, to state the objections
at a meeting held for that
purpose. It was stated in the
meeting that the matter of a twelve
foot waterway to Conway was also
in the hands of Capt Adams for the
purpose of making a report to thel
government before beginning the
work of spending on our riv^er the
large appropriation recently made
by co itrress. The meeting stressed

oy local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is onlv one way to cure
deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or an imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
close, Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Too Much Personality and
Not Much Argument.
THE REAL ISSUE OBSCURED
It is a Pity that Such an Important
Measure as the Bond Issue Cannot
be Discussed on its Merits Free From
Personalities. The People Demand
Information and Not Personal Abuse.
Mr Editor, you neglected to send
a man around "to ask me if I had
any reply to make" to the personal
remarks of Mr Spivey on my criticism
of his bond bill. T would think
this really unkiud of you; but I remember
that nobody has ever had a
special Herald man around to interview
him but Mr Spi\ey. I understand
that Mr Spivey's lack of comment
on my criticism stopped with
his intimation that my locomotion
on the paved streets of Conway
served in some way to unlit me to
talk about his bonds The rest of
the article, I am told, is part of a
semi-editorial reply by Mr Spivey to
I a ouestion of Mr Burgess' about
taxes. I am glad I learned that. I
care little about his weakly sarcasm;
but I was about to get vexed at
Doc's trying to tell me anything he
supposes he knows about taxes. I
can talk a heap nicer to him now I
understand that.
I am challenged by Senator Spij
vey on my personal qualifications
j to criticise him and his bond bill.
I accept the personal issue. As his
j catalogue of my disqualification include
only things of very recent ori*
[gin, his argument of my consequent
j unfitness is easily answered. Senator
Doc knows very well that I opposed
his scheme long before 1 was
a candidate for Auditor, long before
1 consented to become acting
clerk to the County Commissioners,
long before I had the enjoyment of
a paved street to disqualify me I
have opposed it from the very first
time 1 heard that Doc was trying to
raise money for himself and an un known
board to handle and spend
without first organizing the board
and separating himself from the
spending of it.
And whatever may be the "opinion
advanced by many"?I believe,
Mr Editor, you have spelled that
last word wrong; it should be spelled
M-o-n-e-y?whatever opinions
> J.~ T\ 4 1
are auvanoeu Dy money lu oi-u, tuo
people of the county have not been
seeking my advice, but they do wish
to profit by my information; I do
not ask them to accept dictation,
but to understand plain facts when
they see such Whether f pay any
taxes or not, I have helped to put
the beginnings of wisdom into many
departments of the couuty government
and 1 still will help some more
to put tho fear of the Lord into the
one more oflicial exponent of laziI
ness and imbecility that clings to the
court house pay roll. Having had
some years experience in fighting
folly and imfliciency in the county
government, 1 feel myself quite fitted
to discuss not only the Senator's
bill, but also the Cashier's fitness to
frame it.
{Senator Spivey, Cashier, does not
have the personal qualifications to
preparo a bending scheme that
many people, who know him, would
feel themselves safe in supporting.
Many years indulgence in speculative
priyate finance is bad training
for tho preparation of a fiscal scheme
for the public good. Innateand cultivated
selfishness will certainly
coil itself snugly within any scheme
concocted by one of Doc's training
in squeezing cash perquisites, legally
if possible, out of every public or
private position he has held. He
squeezed when ho was a member of
the County Board of Education some
years ago?and then helped McKin
ley and Tutwiler divide $5,000 they
defrauded out of the county. He
squeezed again later?and had to
vicariously disgorge to a well known
bonding company. It has not been
so long since he easily and quickly
talked the town of Conway out of a
good round sum for which it got
absolutely nothing in return but his
talk.
Oh, Doc has tasted blood all right;
and it is a savager mouthful he is
lighting for now. One hundred
thousaud dollars for a bank to leno
out, ten per cent discount aud eigh
por cent interest, is a might}' gcoi
thing, isn't it?
Suppose you vote this bond issue,
the Senator-Cashier appoints hi
Commission to sell the bonds. D
you think be will appoint anybod..
so ungrateful as not to deposit th?
proceeds in the Senator's bank?
And then, they begin to spend it;
do you think they can spend it s<
fast that the bank can possibly fai.
to get its interest on lending it out

Doc's Dank will be quite apt to get

DAY, OCTOBER 6, 1910.
BIGGER THAN BOTH OK THEM.
Children's Hands Were Never Made to
Tear Each Other's Eyes Out.
Mr Editor: 1 was sorry to see
Mr Van Norton and Senator Sptvey
venting their dislok to each othei
through the newspapers. A* I am
a friend to both of them, and have
voted for each of them every time I
have had a chance, 1 do not mind
taking the liberty of saying that
they are both wrong this ti ne. It
s evident that Van's opposition to
the bona issue plan principally
comes from his dislike or tne autnor
of the Act; and then Ooek should
not have hit back in the way h did
4T takes two to make a quarrel,"
and if the matter had just ueeu lot
pass without reply Van's opposition
would have properly sized up
by the people.
1 do not intend this as casting a
slur at anybody, but the fact is this
g<-oJ roads and bond issue question
is lar bigger than both of them put
together, with any number of smaller
bore politicians thrown in for
good measure, aud no one should
shoot off his mouth about this purely
business proposition unless be intends
to discuss it on a high ulaue
and lrom a business standpoint.
This is peculiarly the light of the
men living in the country. Tnoy
are the ones who are to be the most
oenelitcd by the good roads; the
roads are in the country and we arc
the ones who have to travel them,
be they bad or imod; the farmers
living in the country are the ones
who will profit oy the increased value
of their farms from the building
of the good roads; it is the countryman
who will be benefited by short
ening Lis haul to and Irom market,
or cutting in half the time required
on the road, and doubling to load
his team can carry with less strain
on his stock and less wear on his
wagon; it is his road to church
which is to b^ made a pleasure to
travel over, and put him in better
humor to listen to the preaching of
the Word on Sunday. But the merchant
should be interested in ibe
country trade coming bis way, instead
of being drawn oil' to Marion
by the good roads soon to be built
od that side of the river, and for
which they have already sold their
county bonds I am told.
But, Mr Editor, it is so seldom
that we country people see any good
coming our way from the taxes we
pay, it is hard to make some understand
and appreciate the importance
of this question to the people wh >
live in the country. Just a few days
ago I was talking to a neighbor on
tnis subject, and ho said that he
was in favor of good roads, but he
thought we should pay as we go.
Says 1, 4 Old man, have you any
^ ^ !?**-. si . * 4- f i i?/\ /inrkt V "
luuui^y iiuiiv^ ciu 11 vu ]jti ucu v i
Ho said he did not, and 1 then told
him that what little money I had
was worth eight per cent, to me,
and what 1 had to borrow cost ine
about ten or twelve percent, by the
timo 1 paid the discount and for
drawing and recording the papers.
And I said that if the county can
borrow the money at four and a
half or live per cent, that it was
much cheaper than 1 can get the
money to pay my taxes with, and I,
for one, will be mighty glad fur the
county to borrow my snare of the
good roads money, and save me the
higher interest, the giving of my
own bond and mortgage, and the
trouble of getting my wife to sign
her dower. You see I know where
the shoe pinches But says he, "I
don't like to vote bonds for my
children to pay after 1 am dead and
gone." Bless your soul, I said,
your children will rise up and call
you blessed for having left them
the good roads, and your little farm
increased in value thereby, Besides,
they will bo in mujh better
shape than vou are to pay their
share of the expense of getting the
good roads. You aro better olT
than your father was before you,
oecause you have had tetter touls
to work with, and guano for your
crops; and your children should be
better able to pay than you are if
they profit by their better chance
for an education and the constantly
improving facilities and conditions.
Uut if they are not, they will not
have much of the debt to pay, as t he
bulk of it will fall on the rich corporations,
the banks and monied
men, while the poor man's road
work or commutation road tax will
be cut down more than half. My
good frierd, 1 said, when the good
roads are built, and you see your
team walking olT to market as if going
to a picnic, with twice the load
ihat they can now drag through the
heavy sand at a snail's gate, you
will get a smile on your face which
will not wash olT; and as you trot
i - - . i
jti to cnurcn on ^unaay, wuu year

/ou will wish that you had your
:ourting days to go over, so you
jould take your host girl out driving,
and you will feel like shouting
as you go, hurrah for
Good Uoads and Bond Issuo.
