While the business man is confined to his desk in the city, the telephone keeps him in touch with wife and family, though they may be many miles away, summering at some pleasant resort. During his own vacation the business man relies upon the tele phone. He is free from care, for he knows that he can be reached at one by telphone should important matters require his attention. At the vacation home also, the telephone proves so convenient in arrainging games and outings with friends and ordering sup. plies from the distant markets. All this is possible because Bell Telephone service is universal. By the way, have you a telephone? Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph Company.

Split-Log Drags Cost Very Lit tle and Will Make Good, Serviceable Roads. "We have more than once pointed out," says Southern Good Roads, "that where a bond issue or a heavy road tax is im possible owing to the strength of the opposition or to the poverty, there can be nevertheless good earth roads built at very small expense. The chief thing is co operation among the people of the community. There is no ex cuse for bad roads in apy farm ing section-none whatever. For the split-log drag is the poor man's friend, and with it many people, however poor, however far from the day of macadam, can make and enjoy good roads. "Let us take, for example, a stretch of bad road in the coun try. Say it is ten miles in length and that ten farmers live at in tervals along its course. It is very bad in summer and next to impassable in winter. These ten farmers decide that they are not going to put up with the holes and ruts and washouts any longer, and they come together. They agree that they will divide the road into ten sections of one mile each, and every farmer is to take charge of one mile. They select one of their number to act as foreman of all. They fall to work and build split-log drags. These cost practically nothing. The office of public roads, United States Department of Agricul ture, will gladly furnish inform ation as to the construction, and if possible will doubtless send pan expert to give preliminary in structions. '`When the farmers have everything ready, the foreman calls them out after each rain to drag their several sections. This is repeated until in an amazingly short time that miserable old road has been transformed into a splendid highway, smooth, well drained, well shaped, a thing of beauty and a joy for ever, without the expenditure of enough money for the farmers to miss it. They receive incal culable benefit from the road, and it serves as an object lesson to the rest of their parish, caus 4gig others to go and do likewise, until in the course of no great time the road situation in the parish has been revolutionized and the way paved for the day when permanent stone roads will be built. "Why not try it in your com munity?" A special messenger was sent to Baton Rouge last night with the election returns of Beaure gard parish, so that the commis sions of the newly elected officers may be made out and forwarded before Jan. 1. The authority of Calcasieu over the Beauregard territory ceases to-morrow, and failure of the new officers to qualify in time would leave the new parish without legal organi zation. Failure to receive returns from two boxes was the cause of the delay. The Democratic city committee his evening called a prim ary or Jan. 28 to nominate the new city commission. Peonage, holding a man for debt, is prohibited and the man or woman who holds' a negro for debt, takes the chance of getting mixed up with the Federal courts. Our own candid opinion is, that no farmer should allow any negro field hand to contract a debt larger than the crop planted, could, under favorable seasons and fair prices for sotton, pay. It is not in good judgment to have a negro carrying around a statement showing a balance that is large and that cannot be paid by the man to whom the. regon would like to live the following year. We do believe that small balances will and ought to be paid, or, an assumption to pay out the crop grown by the negro at his new home. Right is right, and we do believe that every negro in Morehouse Parish is en titled to just treatment.-Mer Rouge Democrat. The Opelousas Compress Com pany made its stockholders a much appreciated New Year present in the shape of an eight per cent. dividend. The Democrats and Free Sugar. One of the promises made by the Democrats'during the recent campaign was that the country should have free sugar, with the result that the householder would be able to buy that table necess ity at a very much lower .price. But Senator Gore, in sizing up probable legislation of the spe cial session, has decided that free sugar is an impossibility. Senator Gore is very likely right. The Democrats, we are glad to believe, will not pass a bill giving us free sugar, or mak ing any great reduction in the tariff on that article. Why won't they? Well, there are two rea sons, One.is the selfish reason that there are too many Demo crats senators and representa tives from sugar-producing sec tions. They will not want to see the sugar growing industry ruined in their home States by throwing open the doors and allowing the Eastern refiners to buy the raw article cheaper than they can produce it. Neither will they want to see the sugar refinery industry of their States ruined by taking all duty off the refined article. There are enough of this sort of senators and rep resentatives to hold up tariff leg lation until they get about what they want on sugar, and we may be sure they will do it. But there is another and a very much better reason why the Democrats will not pass a free sugar bill. That is that a major ity of them realizes the truth of what President Taft told the last Congress. It had passed what was practically a free sugar bill, which would immediately deprive the treasury of $55,000,000 an nually, to be mace up by an ex cise tax, or tax on occupants. But President Taft vetoed it be cause, as he said, its first effect would be to ruin the American beet sugar industry, and thus re duce the domestic supply; its sec ond effect would necessarily be to raise the price of sugar, since the world's supply is already short. Reduction in the price of sugar can be effected only by increas ing production to the point where the supply will be adequate, and by attacking the monopoly of sugar refining. The amount of raw sugar imported into this country has no effect on the re tail price, which is made artifici ally at the refinery. The way to break the refinery trust is to en courage independent refineries "to set the industries free," in the language of President-elect Wilson. The promotion 'of the beet sugar industry has much to ward that end, by encouraging the building of independent re fineries in the section where sugar beets are produced. With these plentiful enough-and they would become much more plenti rul if insured against free trade nterference-the strangle hold >f the Sugar Trust would mighty soon be lost altogether. Free sugar to-day would be disasterous to the beet sugar in dustry, which employs 25,000 men and supplies 15 per cent of our sugar demand. Free refin ing-that is, the fixing of prac tically an equal tariff on raw and refined sugar-would do some thing for the consumer. But to take off al the 4ity on either raw or refined would not ruin a great industry, but would harm instead of help the consumer. And besides all that it would run counter to the Democratic policy of a tariff for revenue. What the country needs is moue domes tic sugar produced in independ ent refineries run in opposition' to the Sugar Trust. Anything' the Democrats can do to that end wiN be for the public good. But it certainly does not lie in the direction of free sugar.-Johns town (Pa.) Leader.
