Our Public Thoroughfares.
In this issue of the Democrat
will be found a most interesting
article, being an address by Mr
P. A. Derthick, on the subject of
road improvement. This is
question in which our rura
friends are vitally interested,
and is now enlisting their aid in
all parts of the county. The
first and most important act
ion to be taken in this matter
is the creation of a strong public
sentiment, which will require
some time to do. Mr. Derthick
is directing his ener :-ies at the
present time in enlisting federal
assistance in this matter, which
must be agreed is proper and
right. The government would
be more consistent in appropriat
ing money for our public roads
throughout the country then it
was many years ago when a vast
amount of public lands were
given to corporations in the
building of railroads. We do not
wish it understood that the
government should be censured
in that matter, but to the con
trary, it was a most potent fac-
tor in the development of the
unsettled parts of the United
States, and the government
should be commended for its
wisdom But we insist that
more good can be accomplished
at this time by the federal
government in igakiDg^ a large
appreciation etch year for the
benifitof our coutrv roads. It
will ;e of more direct benefit to
the people at large than was the
assistance rendered the railroads
in the building of lines through
the unsettled parts of the coun-
try many years ago.
It occurs to the Democrat that
the time is here when the peo-
ple should become active and
press this question vigorously.
An organization should be per
fected and a plan of action out-
lined, thus giving strength to
the movement. If the farm
owners of the county are wise
they will lose no time in start-
ing to work on this line. They
are the ones who will be most
directly benefited, but the town-
people are ready to give them
assistance in such matters as
this. And in this connection
the Democrat tenders its as-
sistance In every way that its
services are needed.
Why He Attracted.
A broker who had the reputation
of using strong language on the golf
links started out on a sunny au-
tumn afternoon to play nine holes.
Looking back after he had driver
■off, he saw a great crowd following.
There were young men and old,
good players and bad, all trailing
close behind with looks of interest
and expectation.
The broker paused and turned.
He smiled politely and nervously.
"Beally, gentlemen," ho said, "this
is very fluttering. I hope I am in
rod form this afternoon. I trust
shall play well enough to reward
all this kindly interest."
"Oh, it isn t that," replied an eld-
erly lawyer, with a chuckle. "We
came out to listen."—Ladies' Home
Journal.

No alum, no lime phosphate
The government and food authorities have
enabled the housekeeper to protect her
family from the alum baking powder.
They require that the label shall give her
warning. She must buy from the label and
decline any powder which the label does
not show to be made from cream of tartarv
At The Majestic.
At last Belton has a high class
moving picture show, where the
pictures are really good, the sub-
jects are new and pictures are well
produced. The best that we have
ever had. The proprietors, Messrs.
Slaughter & Adams, say they will
spare no expense in securing inter-
esting and pleasing numbers to
make the Majestic Theatre a win-
ner.
The picture machine is in the
lands of a well known and exper-
ienced operator, B. A. Robinson,
who is acting manager, and The
Democrat wishes success to these
enterprising people in their en-
deavor to give us good, clean at-
tractions.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf-
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin-
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum-
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and uuless the inflamma-
tion 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 in-
flamed condition of the mucous sur-
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co.,

Maidic, nearly four, brought to
her mother two little branches
which she had broken from a bush
and (tripped of their leaves.
"Here, mother,"  he said—"here
are some switches to switch the
boys when they are naughty."
''But," objected mother, "you do
not want your dear little brothers
to be switched, do yon V
"Well, when they're naughty,"

MORNING OF
THE FIRST BOYCOTT.
English Wnvwi Leagued Again** Mm
Scotch In 1527.
The trade boycott is by no means
of as recent origin sb some people
suppose, nor is it of Irish extrac-
tion. Among the early boycotts
which strongly suggest the modern
institution is one that hails from
north England and is chronicled in
Brand's "History of Newcastle."
This had its inception in a dread of
Scotch competition. On Aug. 31,
1527, in the corporation of weavers
in Newcastle a number of regula-
tions were adopted, among them
that "no member shall take a
Scotchman to apprentice or set any
of that nation to work under a pen-
alty of 40 shillings." More than
this, to call a brother "Scot or man-
sworn" involved a forfeit of 6s. 8d.,
"without any forgiveness."
The canny Scotch doubtless did
not delay to pay back the English
in kind, but it is nearly two cen-
turies later before any record ap-
pears of the extent to which this
commercial feud raged between the
two peoples or as to the reprisals
that were made by-the "blue bon-
nets over the border."
In 1752 a sort of covenant was
entered into by the drapers, mer-
cers, milliners and other trades-
men and shopkeepers of Edinburgh
to cease all dealings with commer-
cial travelers from England, then
called "English riders." The lan-
guage of this covenant runs: "Con-
sidering that the giving of orders
or commissions to English riders or
clerks of English houses when they
come to this city tends greatly to
the destruction of the wonted
wholesale trade thereof, from which
most of the towns in Scotland used
to ba furnished with goods, and
that some of these English riders
not only enhance the said wholesale
trade, but also correspond with it
and sell goods to private families
and persons at the same prices and
rates as if to us in a wholesale way,
and that their frequent journeys to
this place are attended with high
charges, which consequently must
be laid on the cost of those things
we buy from them, and that we can
be as well served in goods by a writ-
ten commission by post (as little or
no regard is had by them to the
patterns or colors of goods which
we order them to send when they
are here), therefore, and for the
promotion of trade (?), we hereby
voluntarily bind and oblige our-
selves that in no time coming wp
shall give any personal order or
commission for any goods we deal
in to any English dealer, clerk or
rider whatsoever who shall come to
Scotland."
To this document, with its naive
pretense that it is for "the promo-
tion of trade," is added an obliga-
tion to have "no dealings with any
people in England who shall make a
practice of coming themselves or
sending clerks or*riders into Scot-
land." The penalty for violating
this agreement was set down to be
£2 2s. for every offense.—Indian-
apolis News.
The Best Judge.
The trust and dependence which
characterized the Rev. Mr. Brown's
attitude toward his wife's judgment
in all practical affairs were some-
times touching, but ocasionally they
were amusing.
"I'm sorry you've been troubled
with the toothache," said the fam-
ily dentist when Mr. Brown ap-
peared in his office one day. "I gave
you the first minute I had free aft-
er receiving your wife's telephone
message. Let's see—which tooth is
it that's troubling you V
"M-m—it's not aching just at
present," said Mr. Brown after a
moment's hesitation, daring which
he made a cautious investigation
with his tongue. "Didn't Mrs.
Brown mention to you which tooth
it was? I always rely on her in
such matters."—Youth's Compan-

Herbert 8pencer'e Courage.
Who but Spencer would have been
content to fail as an engineer, an
inventor and a journalist and yet
keep his ambition and vitality un-
impaired? Who but Spencer would
have projected a work which could
not pay, <t work which would con-
sume his life and be judged only
by posterity and after thirty-six
years of incessant labor complete
it? The world will pardon much
arrogance and many crude judg-
ments for the sake of such a spec-
tacle of devotion and courage.—
London Spectator.
The Fascination of Golf.
When all is said and done, there
still remains the incontrovertible
fact—a fact that no other game can
boast of—that even the veriest foo-
zler at the game gets a huge amount
of pleasure from it. It is only in
this way that one can account for
the fascination exercised by golf
over ages and classes of men and
women who persist in playing it un-
der the most apparently disadvanr
tagoous conditions. —Golfing.
Cold Weather Advice
■>
to all is to beware of coughs and
colds on the chest, as neglected they
readily lead to pnoumonia, consump
tion or other pulmonary troubles.
Just as soon as the cough appears
treat it with Ballard'a Horahound
Syrup, the standard cure of Amerioa.
Use as directed—perfectly harmless.
