There is little need to argue for better roads," he said "Several ears ago the club members ran around over the count and at Millersburg donated $100 as a basis for a good reads fund. The road there now is almost as good as could be had. "Good roads and an electric rail road will be weapons with which Co lumbia merchants can combat the mail-order houses and will mean bringing the Universit enrollment up to 5,000 students. "I do not agree with some persons who think a good railroad here would take business to other cities. Co lumbia is situated so nearly in the center of the state that good railroad connections will mean pulling busi ness into tiie town rather Mian pulling it away from here. "The merchants themselves are to hTSTile-lf they" don't gcrthe business from the mail-order houses Start mail-order houses here and de mand our share of the trade." Mr Hetzler advocated a cheaper rate on motor power from the cit clee'nc plant "I believe the increased use of power at a lower rate would make up for the reduction in price. I under stand power can be manufactured in a plant like ours for 1 cent a kilowatt hour. 1 am in favor of selling it at 2 cents for motor use " THE WE VI HER .I.IilTr.
