It is pretty well known by our people that the road drag—the split-log drag— is an economical effective and practical rneans> of improving earth roads. We knov full well that our past mehods of working the roads have not very rapidly or materially im proved their condition. It lias been demonstrated beyond doubt tha* the best, easiest and cheap est means of improving earth roads is by the use of the road drag. We want better roads, and we know that the road drag will give them to us. We know, fur ther, that its use is simple and in expensive and the benefits large, but we do not use it. In view of all these facts, will someone tell us why we do not use the split-log drag on our dirt roads? We confess we have been compelled to give up the conun drum. Not long since the writer heard a man discussing the advan tages of good roads, and in course oi bis talk he stated he would give $1 an acre to have a good road in front of his farm of 640 acres. An examination of the road in front of his place showed it to be fairly well graded and Grained, but in very bad condi tion otherwise because rough and badly cut up. In fact, it was just such a dirt road as could be kept in good condition at the mer est fraction of the amount this man stated he would be willing Io pay for good roads. On being questioned he admitted he knew of the split-log drag and had ev ery reason to believe that the statements made of the results obtained from its use were correct When asked why he had not used it, he stated that he was not the road supervisor; and when asked still further why he did not use the drag himself and obtain and maintain a good road at much bss cost than he had stated he was willing to pay, he frankly admitted that he considered it too much trouble. Good roads are expensive to build and cost money aud trouble to maintain in good condition. We appear to want good roads, but it is certain we do not want them a.s much as we profess, or there would be more split-log drags in use. When each land owner is willing for the sake of a good road in front of his place, to spend fifty cents to a dollar a month in labor of men and teams to drag the roads passing bis own lands, then, and not un til then, shall we have passed be yond the talking stage on to the working stage of a desire for good roads. By all odds, this is the cheapest and most effect ive means of improving our earth roads which is within our reach. Progressive Farmer.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1909 COTTON GOODS AND COTTON (New York Journal of Commerce) The cotton goods trade is fol lowing the advance in raw cotton with amazement and chagrin. Merchants realize only too keenly that if they are to distribute ev en a sub-normal output of all products this year they must of fer them to distributers at very close profits. They know that there has been no such uplift in the purchasing powers of consum ers in the past few months as are reflected in the higher values placed on cotton, on wool and on "other things that are necsesaries of life, yet they find themselves confronted with widespread spec ulative influences at the moment when they are puzzled to devise means by which even a sub-nor mal output can be sold. The adverse purchasing condi tions noted among the masses in this country are paralleled else where, and in the world’s largest cotton goods market, Manchester, they see a condition which does not warrant the expectation of full demands upon the stocks of cotton that are held in the world at this time. The speculation in values is based on something that may come and not something that exists, and it may or may not be legitimate in its field. Merchants have complained long and bitter ly of the modern conditions to predicate future merchandising on possible elements that may arise in speculative circles and be reflected back to them through their banks. In a season of normal demand for merchandise this present sj eeulation in cotton might be re garded as stimulating to business but just at this time merchants feel only the lack of response in a market that has been hesita ting and faltering for a month or more. They are puzzled to know what the outcome is to be, but for the moment they are fore ed to see that they cannot secure a response from the consuming public on merchandise, as specu lators have secured a response from their clientele on cotton. Users of cotton goods refuse to pay the higher prices that would be in keeping with the sharp ad vance in cotton and they have retired from the buying market. Sellers of finished goods are com plaining more or less irregularly from Maine to California of some thing that, is holding back busi ness. Possibly the tariff agita tion is the cause, possibly it i s the high cost of living, it may be due to the lack of employment for all at wages commensurate with the cost of living; but what ever the underlying cause is, the effect is seen in a determination not to pay higher prices for goods to be used now, and in a great many instances a determination to buy nothing more until the new phases of merchandising have changed. Uninfluenced by speculative values on raw materials merchants might readily go ahead on future, work feeling that underlying eon ditions are improving, such as the steel trade, the net earnings of railroads, copper and crop pros pects. But other things enter in and overshadow the force of the things that merchants ought to count on legitimately. On printed goods where prices have dropped %c a yard in the past, week some of the jobbers are finding fault at the short, dis counts allowed by agents. They admit that the base price is very low considering producing costs as they stand, but they say they have grown accustomed to al lowances that permit them to do business on 9 per cent rather than 6 per cent, hence they say they will not buy prints unless they are made more profitable for them. But while some job bers are talking in this way oth ers are ordering prints instead, and agents have now no fear that all goods they care to sell at the current low figures will be moved On bleached goods agents are sitting quietly and anticipating only a moderate business for the mxt two or three weeks. There is no weakening in priee talked ot. On drills, sheeting, print cloths and other gray goods buyers would not pay higher prices dur ing the day. and even asked if those goods would not be lower. A CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS. What promises to be one of ■ the most valuable discoveries in medical science amounts to noth-' ing less than a speedy and cheap cure for tuberculosis. The fortunate discoverer is Wiliam Doig, head of a noted publishing company in London. Mr. Doig retired from business several years ago, devoting him self entirely to his hobby—medi cal study. He first discovered he could cure tuberculosis of the bone, and only in recent years he has found a method of applying his discov ery to the cure of consumption. The treatment is extremely sim ple. A poultice containing acite and chloride (the exact prescrip tion has not yet been announced, but there is no intention on the pert of Mr. Doig to keep it se cret) is placed on the body of the patient as near as possible to the organ or membrane that has become prey to the tuberculosis bacilli, connected by what is ailed a ray of inflamation with the diseased organ. This forms a kind of duct, through which the muco-pus is drawn out of the system. The ulcer needs to be carefully dresser twice a day with a salve, which is also the discovery of Doig, If this is neglected the ul cer spreads, becomes black, and the patient dies. But if properly attended to the ulcer steadily works off all diseased matter from the lung until in from four to six weeks a complete cure is ef fected. William Doig has brought his discovery before the American ambassador, who was much in terested. It was determined, how ever, to postpone reporting on the subject until the final series of tests has placed the efficacy of the remedy beyond all dispute. Doig declared that in his practice be has never had a single failure. As a test ease Doig was chal lenged to undertake the cure of a youth seventeen years old, who was certified to be suffering from advanced tuberculosis of the glands of the throat, which ren dered it impossible for him to speak except in hoarse whispers. The youth weighed about 100 pounds, and in the opinion of the physicians his death within two years was a foregone conclusion. Nothing daunted, Doig undertook to cure this unpromising case. To the amazement of everyone the lad is now quite cured. He has put on flesh, he sings merrily at his work, and all trace of tuber culosis has disappeared. Before the discovery is official ly recognized a final test on a larger scale is to be made. Six patients, certified by physicians to be suffering from unmistaka ble tuberculosis are to be placed in a private hospital and sub jected to the Doig treatment, un der close supervision by scientif ic experts, who will carefully watch each ease from first to last Doig is confident that within six months, barring accidents, he will have cured all six sufferers. The cost, of the experimen is es timated to be SIO,OOO. The treatment is not painful, al though somewhat troublesome. When the ulcer is started a dress ing twice a day is all that is re quired. No internal medicine is administered, nor do patients need to lie abed during the treat ment. In the ease of the youth whose cure has been described he remained at work all the time. William T. Stead. London Cor respondent New York American. Repentance is always lame with out restitution and reformation. Trading was very limited. Cutters are doing little except ou fall goods. There is a very general feeling in he market still that fall trade will be good, but in the interim the happenings seem very cloudy to most mer chants. Trading in print cloth has come to a standstill, as converters and printers are not ready to follow the cotton markets upward and will not pay higher prices for cotton goods at this time. The : mills are holding steady but ■ some are willing to make long con i tracts now at favorable prices based on to-day’s costs. Some goods are being offered from sec ond hands at slight concessions.
