finest road-making material
known, a material that will cover
your macadam roads with water
proofing a thousand times more
indestructible than oil; a sub
stance hard, yet elastic, that is
as enduring as marble. And yet
this vast and priceless deposit to
day is reached only by dirt roads
that are almost impassable. This
is a disgrace to Kentucky. I
would see, and I hope to see, the
labor or convicts, as well, as
others employed in the develop
ment of these great quarries, and
I hope to see this, the greatest
road-making material ever known
spread over 5,000 miles of boule
vard all over Kentucky, from
mountains to Mills Points. (Great
applause')
I could talk to you for a week
upou this subject. Oh, it means
so much to Kentucky, as a State,
- and there is much to expect from
from the developments of good
roads. No other State in the
Union has such a variety and
wealth of undeveloped resources:
more coal than Pennsylvania,
more hardwood than any other
Commonwealth between the
Mississippi and the Pacific and
more acres of fertile soil than
any other State of like area be
tween the two oceans. Our soil
produces a greater variety of
products than any other on this
earth. Why is it that the wealth
of the plain are not developed?
It is because the people of the
mountains cannot reach the
wealth of the plains, and the
people of the plains cannot avail
themselves of the wealth of the
mountains because of the cost
of getting from one to the other.
This is eliminated by connecting
them by great highways. It will
- increase the fertility of the soil
and the richness of the mines
and the vast wealth of the for
est. Upon the great movement rests
the happiness and the prosperity
of the greatest people on earth,
the people who live and who ex
pect to die in Old Kenttcky,

Editor News:
I read The News every week
and enjoy it very much. You
see I was raised within three
miles of Columbia, and have vis
ited there three times in the last
eight years, and hope to visit
old Adair once more. My friends
there won't write or answer my
letters, so I have quit writing to
them. However, I thought
probably they might like to hear
from their friends and relatives
in the Lone Star State and would
write to The News and see if
you would publish this letter,
I see you are trying to vote a
bond for road building, which I
think will be one of the best in
vestments the county ever made.
Last spring I spent several weeks
in our Bell county, where they
voted a six hundred thousand
dollar bond for road purposes,
and they told me that land val
ues were nearly doubled in a
year or two, and it was a pleas
ure to travel in that county and
the farmers could market their
produce at anytime when they
could do nothing else. Temple
and Belton are thriving towns
and the pike roads are giving
them a big boost Also all the
small towns are given an impe
tus in the county. If those bonds
fail to carry, you are surely left
and you even ought not to have
a place on the map.
Well, from parties from Ken
tucky I am told you have fair
crops, notwithstanding an ex
cess of rain. Crops here are
fairly good, especially the grain
crop. Cotton crop will be short,
caused by two months without
rain, then two weeks of exces
sivs rain, which has injured it to
some extent, but' what we have
is bringing paying prices. There
are many Kentuckians in this
county I have never seen, but
from Adair county. Mary Sher-
rill, son and daughter live here
and are jogging along alright.
I run across many old ex-Fed
eral soldiers in Texas and from
the inclosed slip you will see
there is three living here from
Cumberland and Adair county,
one from New York, one from
Tennessee, but was in a Ken
tucky regiment, the one from
Wisconsin used to live here but
now of Corpus Christie. His vis
it here suggested our dinner.
Hoping to visit the old rock
ribbed State in the near future
and hoping this letter will not
fall into the waste basket,
I am yours Sincerely,
W. T. Carter.

Editor News:
One by one the heroes of Adair
county Kentucky, fall before the
grim destroyer.
I learn with intense sorrow,
that the venerable Dr. U. L.
Taylor has crossed with the boat
man's pole to the undiscoyered
country.
He was a man of versatile
gifts, and withal a Christian
gentleman.
While an octegenarian when
the dread summons came, he
preserved his bodily vigor, his
mental development; and best of
all; his moral and spiritual na
ture and attributes.
No profession is brought with
greater possibilities or for deg
radation than that of the physi
cian. Next to the Roman Catholic
confessional, he learns more
secrets of human fraility than
u
any other calling, and has more
opportunities to be licentious.
Like the teacher of youth, he
has a poor opportunity to prove
his merits.
The lawyer or the minister
can charm or sway by his elo
quence; but the doctor ministers
to people who generally do not
distinguish between skill and
charlatanism.
When it comes to blowing his
own horn, I commend you to the
quack in any calling. An "In
jun doctor" can boast of 'skill to
which an eminent physician or
surgeon dare not lay claim.
Dr. U. L. Taylor was not
taught, in his medical course,
that flies and mosquitoes are car
riers of diseases, or that tuber
culosis is a preventable disease.
Neither was he taught any
thing about germs, microbes,
bacteria; or the sterilization of
instruments.
But when younger men, of
better opportunities, by means
of microscopic tests, found out
these things; he caught step
with the vanguard, and boldly
became a herald of new discov
eries. Not so with the small fry fogy.
Every "one of them yelled in mor
tal agony that the fly, mosquitoes
rat, bat and other unclean pests
were handiwork of Omnipotence
that consumption is "inherited"
and no germ was in existence
unless as large as a terrapin.
Old doctors had no surgical
instruments but barlow knives.
handsaws and darning needles,
and had no idea of an antiseptic.
Another thing about old doc
tors, most of them killed out
their patients by thirst and

The careful mother, who watches
iosely the physical peculiarities of her
-hildren, will soon discover that the
nost important thins in connection with
i child's constant good health is to keep
he bowels regularly open. Sluggish
jowels will be followed by loss of appe
tite, restlessness during sleep, irrita
oility and a dozen and one similar evi
dences of physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
the child a teaspoonful of Dr. C."i well's
Svrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night if
necessary more than that will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover its accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally.
This remedy is a vast improvement
over salts, cathartics, laxative waters
and similar things, which are altogether
starvation, and then attributed
it to the Lord. If a patient re
covered in spite of their ignorant
and barbarous practice, then the
doctor claimed the glory.
The same rule applies to teach
ers. . If a teacher is related by
blood or marriage to school trus
tees and belongs to church of
county superintendent and votes
his ticket, the same is a great
teacher.
If, however, he is a free and
fearless thinker, and exponent
of ideas, he is "unsafe."
If he does not carry a face
long enough to eat oats out of a
churn, he is regarded as ribald
and seditious. If he ever smiles
or says any thing funny, and
does not use the snuffling cant
ing tone of Cromwell's hypocrit
ical ''roundheads," he is ad
judged guilty of very unseemly
levity.
From all such pious frauds
may the good Lord deliver me,
and I know that to this senti
ment, all honest and intelligent
beings say, Amen.
I do hone the people of Adair
county will build some good
roads. Every material develop
ment is hampered by the execra
ble highways.
Gome to North Carolina and
we'll show .you fine, sand-clay
roads. My township voted $50,
000 bonds, and we are building
fine roads.
Shelby is a younger town than
Columbia, and has 4,000 popula
tion. The soil of Adair is much
more fertile than that of Cleve
land, and climate just as solubri-

fith. Veechdale, Ky., are always supplied
with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and with
them, as with thousands of others, there
is no substitute for this grand laxative.
It is really more than a laxative, for it
contains superior tonic properties which
help to tone and strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels so that after a brief
use of it all laxatives can be dispensed
with and nature will do its own work.
