The Only Way
It is as important to keep up
the roads after they are built as
it is to build them. We have
seen beautiful stone roads go all
to pieces in three or four years
because the ditches at the sides
were allowed to fill up and the
clay to spread over them. It
cost ten dollars to repair them
for every dollar it would have
cost to keep them good, to say
nothing of the loss entailed by
having poor roads instead of
good ones. A state may spend
as much money as it pleases
building roads, but until it has
worked out a system of road ov
ersight and repair which will
make some man responsible for
each mile of road every day in
the year, and give him funds and
authority to keep the road good,
bad roads will be common, if not
the general rule. The wasteful
and foolish “free-labor” system
must be done away with; and
in its stead must come provision,
not for one or two workings a
year, but for constant care and
the repair of all damages at the
earliest possible moment. The
state which first provides for
this will set the pace for real
road improvement in all the
South.—The Progressive Far

New Uses For Parcel Post.
(From the Philadelphia Public
i Ledger.)
I When the C. O. D. regulation
of the parcel post system became
■ effective July 1 an ingenious
; man in the West found a most
i unexpected use for it. A Kansas
! merchant had a number of bad
debts on his books, chiefly small
balances that had been uncollect
able. He filled cartons of other
receptacles with excelsior or
waste paper and on top of each
package he placed the receipted
bill that was intended for its
rightful victim. Then, after
sealing the package, he attached
the 5 cent stamp for postage and
the 10 cent stamp for the C. 0.
D. service and mailed it.
The returns came immediately
and in nearly every instance the
debtor paid the charges and re
ceived the receipted bill for his
money—and that’s all. The
point has been raised as to the
propriety and legality of this
_ _-Jl. . 1 C 1 1 J II A •
ucvci mcuiuu ui ucui uuueciing.
Is there any fraud, deceit, impo
sition in the practice? It is a
inice question for casuists. The
| recipient is not obliged to accept
the package, but the appeal to
his curiosity is irresistible. He
is not deprived of his money
without value received, because
he gets the receipted bill, and .it
must be presumed that it is of
value. To be sure, the man who
falls into the trap is “fooled,”
but is there any reason why he
should not be lured into paying a
debt?
The district attorney’s office to
which the question has been sub
mitted in the West is of the
opinion that the plan is legiti
mate. It may be “tricky” or
“smart” or deceptive, but no le
gal ground has yet been found
for preventing the use of the
parcel post as a debt-collecting
agency.
Ruff For Senator.
Heber Springs, Sept. 29.—Dr.
Horace E. Ruff, a prominent
physician and politician of this
city, yesterday announced that
he would make the race for state
senator from this, the Twenty
sixth Senatorial District, in the
forthcoming Democratic prima
ry.
It has been the custom for
many years in this district to
let the honors of electing a sena
tor go to the various counties
that comprise the district when
their turn comes, and according
to this prevailing custom it is
now Cleburne’s time to elect a
senator. Thus Dr. Ruff has an
nounced his candidacy for the
honors. Dr. Ruff represented
Randolph county two terms in
the legislature before coming to
Cleburne county to make his
home.
Revokes State License.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 1.—Secreta
ry of State Hodges Tuesday af
ternoon revoked the license of
the Arkansas Kimberlite Dia
mond Mining and Washing Co
of St. Louis, to do business in
Arkansas. This action was tak
en under the provisions of Act
313, of 1907, making such action
mandatory upon the Secretary
of State when it is shown to him
that a foreign corporation re
moves a case brought against it
in a state court, to a federal
court. This is the first time the
act has been invoked, although
it was threatened several years
ago in the case of a railroad com
pany.
The case was presented to
j Secretary Hodges by State Sena
! tor W. C. Rogers, of Nashville.
It was shown that M. M. Maun
ey, of Murfreesboro, one of the
original diamond miners of Pike
county, had brought several
suits against the Kimberlite
Company, for injunction, breach
of contract, ejectment, damages,
1 etc , within the last few months,
