An evangelist was hugged to death
recently by members of his audience.

not imagine a more pleasant death.
President Taft has been elected a
member of the American Antiquarian
Society and we would be perfectly
willing to see him chosen president of
that organization.

Courteous treatment of all who have
business in the office; all of the duties
of the office performed exactly right
and always promptly; no detail too
small to be given careful attention
have marked the administration of J.
Ed. Shannon, as clerk of courts. He
is a candidate for re-election.
Many nlcp things were said of John
S. Faris and the manner in which he
would conduct the Recorder's office If
he was elected, during the campaign
two years ago. ne has more than
lived up to his advance notices, which
Issaylng that he has been an unusually
faithful, careful and efficient officer.
He deserves re-election and we believe
will be
"Highland c&unli' has never had an
officer who more consoieiitldUsly did
his very best to perform every duty
exactly right than Sheriff Carey Long.
And that best has been verv good. He
has met every demand and has done it
promptly and energetically. He has
been a faithful servant and It is only
lair and just that he be given a second
term. Vote for Long for Sheriff.
No man has ever aspired to the office
of treasurer of Highland county, who
was better equipped for the position
than John L. Penn. Mr. Penn has
been the deputy of Charles D. John
son during his two terms and Is
thoroughly conversant with every de
tail of the business of the office, ne
is not only vpry accurate In the pir
f ormance of the work, but he works
very fast. He is also courteous, polite
and obliging at all times. A vote for
him Is a vote for efficient conduct of
public business.
When we say that W. A Teter Is
the most competent auditor Highland
count) Ins had In 20 years Wti do not
ask you to take our word f ,r it Ask
any man, Democrat or Republican1,
who knows how that office has been
conducted during that tlmeand he
will Icorroborate our statement. If
there Is anything In the saying, "One
good term deserves another," Bill Te

If Theodore Roosevelt had secured

publican newspapers that are now
most vigorously opposing him and
calling him the most dangerous man
'in the country, would be proclaiming
him as the greatest man that ever

An Advanced Stand.
Hon. Coke L Doster, the Republi
can andldate for prosecuting attor
ney, is an able lawyer and an eloquent
advocate. If Mr. Doster Is elected the
le ral business of the public, both civil
and criminal, is certain to be well
handled.
In a statement given out last week
Mr. Doster also shows that he realizes
that it is the duty of a public official
to not only perform all the duties that
the letterof the law demands of him,
but that he shall perform all the duties
that a broad interpretation shows is,
also the spirit,, of the la.w,
He says that he does hot think that
Individuals should be compelled to
9 apiuy attorneys at preliminary hear
ingsor criminal cases before magis
trates and that if elected prosecuting
attorney he will conductsucli hearings
for the state. He believes this will
not only save money for individuals
but will be a saving for the public
generally, as the Prosecutor will thus
have acquired a knowledge of the case
that will be beneficial when it is
brought to the grand jury and upon
final trial.
He "also says that the Prosecutor
should give his services to the officers
of any municipality that has not a
solicitor.
In agreeing to perform such duties
if elected prosecuting attorney, Mr.
Doster is taking an advanced stard'
b t -v stand that is certain to be of
benefit to the people and should re
dound to his credit. A man with such
high Ideals of public service is deserv
ing of hearty support and should be
elected.

Poor Judgment.
Every man who Is a candidate for
reelection for ottlce should stand upon
the record he has made while Inolllce.
No on department of a county's
business Is of such general Importance
to all It's residents as the roads. This
department is in the hands of tho
county commissioners and under their
control. O. O. Kesler and Harry C.
Illestand, two of the commissioners,
are candidates for reelection on the
Democratic ticket.
During the year ending Sept. 30,
1012, $7227.10 was raised by taxation
in nighland county for the repair of
roads and $6750 16 received from the
state, making a total of $13,977.32.
While the money received from- tho
state for last year went Into the fund
for the repair of roads, in the iuture
anv that is received can go only for
the construction of new roads.
Was this money judlcously expended
so that the people of Highland coupty
generally got the greatest benefit
from it? We think not ana tninK
that we can clearly show that it was
not.
A state lilghway Is In process of
construction, starting at Sugartree
Ridge and running about one mile
east. It passes very few houses nd
when completed, if one travels on east
It lo necessary to go o er several miles
of mud roads before reaching a pike.
It will thus be seen that this road will
be of little value as it ends In a mud
road.
It will cost $7483 50 to build this one
mile of road, not including bridges and
culverts The state will pay one half
of the cost of constructing the, road,
$3741.75 and one half will come out of
the county repair' fund, $3741,75. It
Is true that one half of the money paid
by the county will be paid back to It
by the township In which the road is
located and the abutting landowners,
but It will be five or six years before
this done.
The county commissioners have also
granted a state highway a mile and a
half In length starting at Belfast and,
running In a westwardly direction.
The estimated co3t of this road is
$6785. Of this sum one half will come
out of the county repair fund at once.
As In the case of the other road It
terminates in a mud road and benefits
very few people.
The county commissioners thus tied
up over one half of the money raised i
for the repair of the over 500 miles of
road In Highland county in construct
ing two by roads about three miles ,
long. At a most HberaTestlmate these
roads will net be of any benefit to 200
people in the course of a year and
Highland county has 28,000 residents.
We do not charge that there was
any graft in connection with building
these roads, but it does look like poor
Judgment on the part of the commis
sioners. In addition to the money paid out
for construction on the road starting
at Sugartree Ridge the county -will pay
out $1047 for culverts and bridges.
Both of these roads were turned
down by a. Republican board of com
missioners. A Republican board of commission
ers also rebuilt the pike from here to
SamantUa a distance of about six miles
at a cost of lees than $1300 a mile.
About $1300 a mile "was the average
cost of rebuilding the roads by the old
board and tha work was done on main
thoroughfares, where it would benefit

Farming Willi Dynamite
A demonstration consisting of tree planting
subsoiling, drainage, stump and bowlder blasting
with dynamite will be given in G. B. Beecher's
field opposite the Hospital building next Wed
nesday afternoon, Oct. 30, at 2 o'clock p. m. A
representative of the Du Pont Powder Co. will
be present and will courteously answer all ques
tions. Using dynamite on farms is simple, cheap,
safe and shows results. It is to" the interest of
every farmer in Highland County to attend this
free demonstration.
HILLSBORO HARDWARE COMPANY
the most people, and not on side roads.
We want to be absolutely fair to Mr
Kesler and Mr. Hiestand and state
that if the roadfr were to be state high
ways and the state pay one half the
cost of construction, they could not be
built for less money. -The Btate only
helps in building highways, when tho
construction is under Its supervision
and according to its specifications. .
We havfl tried to give the facts Just
as they are in regard to tho expendit
ure of the county's money fpr the re
pair of roads'. Summed up they are :
nighland county had $13,977 32 to
expend on all the roads of the county.
To build about three miles of side
roads which end in mud roads $7134.25
was taken from this fund,
Is this satisfactory to the people of
Highland county ? If so, vote for Kes
ler and niestand. If not, vote for
Cockerlll, Orosen and Barrett, the
Itepubllcan candidates.
If looking for a house dress, a fancy
or kitchen apron, don't forget Stabler
carries a complete line. adv
