ROAD BUILDING.

chinery on Exhibition at
the Dalian Fair.
• Building a public highway is the
most important human event of this
age and intelligent construction oi
roads the greatest triumph in mod-
ern science. It is authoritatively es-
timated that sixty cents of every
dollar spent on public highwayed*
wasted through faulty construction
or ia unwise methods of mainte-
nance.
The exhibits of road machinery
and model roads will bd a public
highway institute that eve:

R. B, J.—Can a Notary Fabilo or
other officer before whom scknoWt*
egements are taken, take acknowl-
edgements where.he Is Interested?
No, an officer empowered to taka
acknowledgement, if be le Interested
in the transaction Is Incompetent and
if tho acknowledgement be that of a
married woman nnder such olroum-
stances It hoe been held her convey-
ance would be Invalid.
Q. R. T.—Regarding bank cheek*.
A bank oheok mast be presented to
the bank for payment u soon as' It 1a
convenient In the nsnal coarse of bus-
iness, but the party issuing the dheok
ia liable nntil the check is barred by
limitation, which ia two years, and tha
bank on wbloh it is drawn must pay-It
if presented at any time within ;tWO
years if the drawer has; funds there.
O. B. E.—The landlord and tenant
law embraoea a great number of petty
points, and I will not attempt to do
anything except answer your question.
Our statute says a tenant cannot sub-
let without first obtaining the ooneent
of the landlord, hta.agent or attorney.
One who does snb-rent, known as a
sub-tenant, 1* not liable to the landlord
unless the tenant has assigned tba
lease to him fa which oase he would'
be liable on all the terms of tho.
original lease.
D. 8. A.—Generally speaking tho
rule Is that a bank must know Ite
customers signatures. The responsi-
bility only attaches when the party
receiving the money he* not aided ia
the fraud or mistake of the faet whfcrih
induced the payment. It might noif
come amiss for me to call your atten- ,
tlon to a few' facte regarding writing , ,
checks. When writing your naa* oa T
a check write it. tbe same way every
time, and always .endow# dhaMA -

cinct, would vote - againat it?
I we have many in ell parts of
_j state who will vote for local op-
, tlon but age fast statewide prohibl-
- tion. All that Lieut. Qov. Mayes
Mid in hie announcement was that
„ he ia a prohibitionist in all ite forma.
fV jjw Had it been of any consequence be
V, would have added to bis declaration
- that he waa also a nation-wide pro-

tm.?
bibitioniet; for we are quite sure
that all who favor statewide are al-
io in favor of nationwide prohibi-
tion. Would that addition have
made Mr. Mayes' position any clear-
er to the Post?
Now, there is a difference between
a local optionist and a Statewide
prohibitionist. Tbe latter ia in fav-
or of abolishing tbe liquor traffic
entirely, while Ibe former can be
' wbat be claims and still ba for ibe
Mioon. This was most aptly illus-
trated by a gentleman who formerly
resided at Palacios wheo he declared
If he bad tbe opportunity be Would
vote for saloons at Bay City our
county seat, but would vote againat
them for Palacios. When asked hia
reasons for this peculiar stand, he
aaid he wanted to keep the saloon
and liquor away from bis borne and
family, but didn’t want it so far
a why ae to make it unhandy for him
to get borse (or bis own use. And
this Is a pretty good definition of III
who loudly proclaim themselves aa
local optioulits and noibing more.
The real temperance advocate will
of course volt (or local optioo when-
ever opportunity offers, and will
then work for the chance to take in
more territory.
Advooates of the saloon find them-
selves in opposition lo and out of
harmony with their own principles
and ideai of government, as wilnsaa
tbe Poet which a few days ago in a
leading editorial in oppoaition to the
Clarke amendment to tbe tariff bill,
makes tbe deeiaration that "the
government he* no business licena-
jjr>; ’ ing practices Injurious io the people
iv • V or oontrary to good morals."
la Ibis tba Post expresses tbe
l:' .conviction of every good cittaeo. If
Iha selling of iiqnor ii not a practice
V ■ ■ that ia "injurious to the people and
. Contrary to good morals'' wbat is
there pray amoog all tbe abomlna-
Hone of earth that might be put in
that olaee? If tba Poet racily etanda
, for the splendid principle embodied
I"~ the words above quoted from ite
le, how oao It with any ahow
stand aa tbe defend-
tKRli
make poasible.
Three cheers for Yoakum; tbe
Mecca-of tbe South, the wonderful
prospects now opening like a pano-
rama before ber, end the territory
covered by tbe proposed road
The Herald will have more to say
along this line soon.—Yoakum Her-
ald.
Palacios also can rejoice over tbie
encouraging news.
OF INTEREST TO OIOMARIISTS ARR
OTIEM.
The uoueual rainy season,of the
pact seven or eight weeks has put
new life and growth into all forms
of vegetation, has filled every vine,
bush and tree wUb an excessive
amount of moieture or sap which
will defer tbe period of dormanoy till
late in tbe season.^ Tbie will in all
probability leave our fig end citrus
trees in suoh condition e* to render
them very subject to injurious ef-
fects of early frost and I wish to of-
fer some suggestion which mav help
to prevent greet lose in tbe event of
extremely early opld seasons. All
cultivation should cease, and as
soon aa possible now, orchards and
grovoa should be a* thoroughly
draioed ae practicable in order to rid
the soil of some of the excessive
moisture it contains. A handful of
muriate of potash ora gallon of
hardwood ashes should be worked
lightly into tbe soil immediately
around and underneath each tree.
It will be impracticable to obtain
tbe potash promptly *o I aa recom-
mending the uhea aa a good anbiti-
tuts. Ujr a very well established
prfaciple that potash, and hardwood
aibes contain a very high percent-
age of potash, tends to induce early
and complete dormanoy fa vegeta-
tion and that is tha oondltlon most
desired in citru fruits and figi.
Tbia applioation should be made m
soon ae convenient now.
I am now maxing up my Hat of
demonstrator* and oo-operator* for
next year bat the county ia so large
that I ehall not be able to get into
every small section. However, if
all those who would like to line up
with me io the work will notify me
in aome manner I will endeavor to
come and eee them. Id tha mean-
time, all who expect io work with
me abould arrange to do eome fall
plowing and to do it during the

Lieutenant Governor Will H.

on the Fair
inspection,
highways and demonstration roads
laid out and samples of road mate-
rials and construction will be ex-
hibited and their value and utility
explained.
The improvement of our public
highways is the most atupendoui
problem confronting the people ol
Texas today. We have 140,000 miles
of public highways and 4,652 miles
are surfaced with stone, gravel or
similar materials. We spend approx-
imately 553.60 per mile y>er annum
on public highways. The per cent
of public highway* improved in Tex-
as is 3.2 and in the United States
7:14. We spend approximately
$7,500,000 per annum on public
highway! and $3,000,000 annually
on pared street*. Of this amount
$4,000,OOo is raised by boud issues
and $3,500,000 by taxation. We
spend' on an average of $2.00 per
annum per capita on our roads and
the average in the United States is
$1.55. We have four per cent of our
public highways classed as "improv-
ed” and the average in th* United
States ia- nine per cent,
Thar* is no better investment
than money intelligently spent on
pab'lio highway* and every dollar in-
vested in road improvement adds
three times ita value to adjoining
property and every argument that
applies to the improvement of pri-
vate property will apply with muti-
plied force to the improvement of
public property, and especially to
public highway*, M every farmer
must use the road*.
There are many important lessons
that can be learned from the good
made exhibit at the State Fair oi
Texas at Dallas, Oct. 18 to Nov. 8.

PATRONIZE HOME TO TK LIMIT
Commenting on what the Beaeou
said two weeks ago about the grow-
ers selling their figa to the hom*
preserving plant, tbe Bay City Tri-
bune adds these further stroQg
points:
Not only is it the duty of'fig
growers in tbe Paiacioa section to
aell tbeir figs to their home factory,
but those of other parte of the coun-'
ty who have any to sell should lend
them there, in the absence of any
preserving plant of their own. Ev»-
ery industry of the county whethqr
it ia located in your town or not, la
entitled to the eupport and patron-
age of dll the people io the oonnty.
If this advice be followed every in-
dustry in tbe eouoty can be mads to
pay good dividends.
Nor should tha patronage atop
with the grower aelling the Paiacioa
plant hia fig*; tbe merchant should
put the manufactured product on hi*
•helve* and puab it ahead of any-
thiog else. i
