Shackelford, Federal
Road Fund, and
W. A. Poage.
Col. W. A. Poage ol VYaco-
Albany-Woodson was in Albany
Saturday enroute to his ranch in
the Woodson country He met
several of his friends while in
town and talked to them <-nter-
tainingly on politics, prospective
legislation, finance, and mi forth.
Mr. Poage was recently elected
ta the Legislature from McLen-
nan county. While this m itself
is quite an honor, he has the
fflrther distinction of elimina-
ting his opponents before the
primary. Most candidates for
office have one or two opponents
who persist in running until the
v<Jtes are all in, but Mr. Poage's
oflponents all withdrew from the
race for the Legislature before
time for the primaries, and
therefore he was left t lear
field and happy sailing
Mr. Poage i already malting
pfens for his legislative career.
Ttis is no more than we would
e)Qiect of a live one lil.e Col.
Pohge, but wr.at we a;, iti/ens
of Shackelford county tic >s-
pecially intere.v.ed in, hi connec-
tion with his plans for legisla-
tion is what h< propov-; i « do
with the Federal road money
w£)ich will come to tin. .iale.
Now the Shackelford bill •. inch
provides for th ■ d' >tnh tin. >1
Federal fund-, in the several
■fates to aid buildm , ;ood

nuaded that it. rigin it > had
Shackelford c ;nty, m .n
ininil when tii •; wer • intern
plating its benefits to roads.
For as Mr. Poage points out,
Shackelford and other counties
in West Texas being thinly pop-
ulated portions of the state need
this help which the Federal good
roads fund will afford much
more than thickly populated
counties such as his home coun-
ty. McLennan, and others in the
central and southern part of the
state. Therefore Mr. Poage is
in favor of the Legislature ap-
propriating this fund, as nearly
as possible, to such counties as
Shackelford, and especially so
when they have one of the
national Highways traversing
them, as Shackelford has in this
case. In fact, Mr. Poage is in
favor of putting this money on
the Highway counties, insofar as
they comply with the law and
vote road bonds. No county,
under the Federal law, can get
any of this appropriation until
it has voted road bonds to the
amount of the portion it asks
for. Therefore the law makes
it mandatory on the county to
vote the bonds.
Shackelford is on one of Un-
recognized Highways, hut has
no road bonds. Under no cir-
cumstance can it hope to get any
portion of the fund unless it
votes the bonds. And if Mr.
Poage is successful, it will still
need the road bonds in order to
get its portion of the Federal
fund.
is not published. In this con-
nection, we call to mind an inci-
dent of a man making a deal in
the country and doing every-
thing he could to keep it quiet,
and then upbraided the editor
because he didn't have anything
to say about it in The News.
Now we want the news and
desire to publish every bit of
news occurring in the county
that we think will be of any in-
terest to our readers. And more
than this, we are willing to go to
trouble to get such news, but
our telepathic power is not de-
veloped to a very high degree
and we have'nt the cleverness to
be in two places at the same
time, and therefore we don't
always get every item of news
accidents, less trouble, no cor-
rections to make and hence no
excuses and lies and less work,
more happiness and leisure, and
many other lesses and mores
which we might enumerate ad-
infinitum. Therefore the force
of the answer: Accuracy is the
greatest virtue. If you aspire
to success and greater things,
be accurate.
Convicts Pursue Col-
lege Courses.
According to Professor Bray
of the Kansas Agricultural Col-
lege, thirty three inmates of the
Kansas Penitentiary have com-
pleted courses by correspondence
in that college, (living the pris-
oners this kind of an opportun-
that is guarded so closely, how- j^y ja (jUj^e different from the
ever much we would like to
have it.
You see that we have to de-
pend more or less on our good
method formerly followed in the
treatment of convicts. In times
past they were treated as brutes,
hardly entitled to sufficient coarse
friends who are willing to ca" j food and clothing to keep them
<17 to report the name of a vis-
itor or tell us some other news.
And especially is this the case
alive. Now the tendency every-
where and the custom in some
cases is to treat them as sick or

Getting The News.
Almost every day some of our

and report some item of news
which they suspect we will not
