Complyln with your request that
I report to your body at its regular
meeting on 2nd of January, 1908,
satisfactory, aid Ineffectual, the
Legislature In 1891, enacted what is
known as “The Alternative Road
Law,” which was afterwards cod! j
fled, and Is now fully set out In Secs
from 673 to 683 Inclusive of the
first volume of the code of 1396.
The system provided tor In these
sections Is tbe one under which the
public roads of Thomas county are
now being worked and has under
gone no material change since Its
adoption in 1801.
Under it "Each male cltlxen between
the ages of sixteen and fifty years
(except those who are now exempt
by law) Is subject to work on the
public roads of the county, provided
that no one shall be required to
work longer than ten days to one
year,” and that public road duty n
be commuted by the payment of
tax not more than fifty cents #er day
for the number of days work la re
quired to be done.
And as above stated, the Alterna
tive system Has undergone ill
terlal change since the act of .1891.
In 1396, and in response to the
wishes of some of thej central and
northern counties of the Btate, the
Legislature to December of that
year passed an act which was entit
led, “An Act to amend an Act ap
proved Oct. 21st., 1891” In various
particulars set out In the caption of
the Act; but which to fact waa sim
ply an act to provide for the estab
lishment of a third system of public
road working, commonly known
THE FOUR DAY ROAD LAW" and
Is to all Its essential features and re
quirements wholly distinct and dif
ferent from both the other systems
of road working.
The Alternative system caaaot go
Into effect to any county uatll Its
adoption haa been recommended by
the grand Jury of the County, and
can only be dlacontnaed by the reoom
mendatlon ef the grand Jury.
The system provided for to the
Act of 1896, aider which the -Habit
Ry to road dnty begins at the age
of twenty-oae, and ends at tbe age
of fifty, and requires only four days
work In each year can only go tato ef
fect as the result of a popular elec
tlon, and the same Act expressly de
clares that “It shall be opttonary
with the oountlee of thla state to
adopt the plan provided by the orig
inal Act of 1801, or that provided
by the act of 1806" as the proper au
thorities may deem best.

physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for llieir pe
culiar ills, more potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetoble
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman’s ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 616 N.C. St.,
Louisiana, Mo., writes
** Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women I am willing
to make my trouble,, public.
"For twelve years I lisd liven suffer,
ing with the worst forms of ftmele llle.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what 1 suffered, and at times 1
could hardly walk. About two years
ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham lor udvice.
T. followed it, and can truly say th»:
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound and Mrs. Pinkham’s advice re
stored health and strength. It ii
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women."
Whet Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vcge
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.
