J. K. Keoimer Advocates
Convict System For Good Roads.
(In this article reference is made to Mr.
Allison’s article of last week. This has
allusion to an article appearing from the
pen of Mr. Allison in our issue of Dec.
(5th, and owing to influenza we have
been unable to publish this article until
now.—Ed.)
In reply to N. J. Allison’s article
of last week relative to the work¬
ing of convicts on the public roads
in White county, will very frankly
cenfess that I am surprised at his
position on this very important
question.
I wish to assure Mr. Allison that
what 1 had to say in a recent article
was directed at our present system
of road working and not at Mr.
Allison, but since he has reference
to me and the twenty-three Grand
Jurors of last term, and hundreds
of others in the county, as trying
to build roads by wind work, will
say that I do not think that we are
working the roabs by gas when
each man of road age has to pull
bis pocketbook wrong side out each
yeur in order to . find Seven and
one-half bucks ($7.50) for that pur¬
pose,
I can’t see for my life how any
progressive man could oppose the
convict system. It is a fact that it
■will cost some money to buy the
stock and tools and other ijems
necessary for the grading of roads,
I acknowledge that, but I had
much rather go down in my jeans
and pay my part of the cost for the
extra tax for these necessaries and
get some permanent roads on the
proper grade, as to be everlastingly
having to pay $7.50 each year, and
snore than that having to travel
over such roads (as a rule) as we
now have.
I reftr Mr. Allison to Ilaber
shan^jpounty. f They have the con
vicVsystem and it is working fine.
The ttx that was assessed upon
each man of road age last year wus
only $3.50, and even this year,
1918, in face of all the high ad¬
vances in labor, provisions and
material they only have to pay
.$2.50 per annum.
Can you see the difference in our
system and the system employed in
Iluberslyun and other progressive
couctiesf If not, why not? Hab¬
ersham county had to buy mules,
road machinery, employ guards,
and provide feed for the stock and
rations for the men, and -yet she
survives as a county with good
roads which is incentive for any
progressive man to move to, as
suggested by our Ordinary in his
article of last week, lie suggests
that we should be silent on this
subject, or ought to move out of
the county, of which we have no
idea of doing either.
1 am strictly in favor of the con¬
vict system to be operated in White
county, Mr. Allison’s figures are
no bluff to me as I had sense
enough to know that this system
could not be instituted without
some cost, and I also knew that if
the convict system was good for
other counties it would finally
prove equally as. good for White
county.
I am still wanting to get out of
the old “rut.”
Respectfully,
JOHN K. KENIMER.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
hy local application*, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only ono way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an in¬
flamed condition of the When mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. this tube is
inflamed yon hare a rumbling sound or im¬
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are eaused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur¬
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system. We
will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot

Buy Your Furniture Now
. There are several reasons why
you should buy what furniture and
housefnrnishings you need now.
The best time in the world to buy
furniture is while you can get it.
There never was a time when
wages and farm products were
higher than they are now. Fur¬
niture is getting scarce in the mar¬
ket and is advancing rapidly. The
scarcity of material and labor
grows worse each day. A number
of furniture factories have closed
down already, while others are run¬
ning only part time and cannot
possibly produce as much furniture
as they did a year ago, consequent¬
ly the price .must go HIGHER!
HIGHER! still.
\\ e have taken the situation in
consideration and have bought a
good supply of all kinds of furnit¬
ure and housefurnishings, which we
have in stock. We have a saving
already in the goods of from 15 to
iofc under the present market,
which saving we are giving to our
customers now, however, if our
present sales continue as they have -
we are certain to be without a
number of items on account of the
scarcity of the goods and the neces¬
sary time it takes to replenish our
stock.
Therefore, you will profit by
taking advantage of the times and
buy what you need NOW. Now
is the accepted time, before thj.
rush of fall business sets in wheq
will be frying to buy
their goofis at the same time.
With our farmer friends we can
arrange terms to suit.
Take advantage of this timely
warning and call on us at once.
Do not be one of those who lyill
have to stand back and regret not
looking ahead and taking ajiyapf
age of the advice giyen,
