BIG INDEBTEDNESS FOB ROAD BUILDING Amount Which Randolph County Must Pay Is More Than $619,000.

UNDER NEW ROAD LAW Taxes Are Increased Limit of Indebtedness Almost Reached. The twelve townships of Randolph County (Ind.) have a total Indebtedness of $517,175.49 for "Three Mile" Stone Road Bulhling. The Indebtedness is in bonds fceaTing interept coupons amounting, to $103,385.07. The total amount which the tax payers of Randolph County will have to pay for Three Mile roads built previous to Jan. 1, 1913, is $619,560.63. The taxes have been increased in the twelve townships of Randolph County an average of .50 on the $100 valuation. ' There are approximately 800 miles of township and county roads in Randolph County. About onefourth of the total mileage has been improved under the three mile road law. BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT. WINCHESTER, Ind., Feb. 19. "Randolph County is building good roads with a vengeance" recently remarked a prominent citizen of the county. It might also be said that Randolph County is going in debt and increasing her taxes with a vengeance, for the "Three Mile Road Law" under its continuing activity promises soon to have every one of its townships up to its four per cent constitutional limit of indebtedness. Some of the townships are already there. Nor is this all. Even in the townships where the limit has been reached additional Three Mile Road petitions are on file with the Commissioners. Thus as soon as the bonds payable in 1913 are taken up, more bonds will be issued for the building of more Three Mile Roads. Townships not having reached the four per cent limit are in a fair way to do so, as once started there appears to be no stopping in the construction of roads under this law until the limit 1b reached. Auditor Senses Danger. The Auditor of Randolph County, Henry F. Wood, several months ago, realizing the burden of indebtedness accruing to the tax-payers of his country, published a statement in the Winchester papers setting forth the amount of Three Mile Road indebtedness that had been Incurred by the several townships and concluded his report with the query: "Where are you going to stop?" Recently the auditoi has compiled a more detailed statement of facts concerning the Three Mile Road indebtedness and other particulars and had it published in pamphlet form for free distribution. In his prefacing statement in the pamphlet he states among other things: "The taxes seem high in most cases but by looking into the causes you will find that the citizens of the different townships and corporations have made the taxes what they are. If you want to lower taxes quit building stone roads and high school buildings and as you pay off the debt already incurred your taxes will be lower." The statements are plain enough and the remedy extremely simple. It remains however, to be seen whether or not the remedy will be applied. - Unfair Features of Law. There are many citizens of Randolph county who protest that the Three Mile Road Law is unfair as affecting the entire citizenship of the several townships of the county. It appears unfair from the fact that while all of the citizens of the different townships are equally taxed, the benefits are far from being equally disFACE COVERED ii Red and Irritated.

G0LDSB0R0 HEARD FROM A Lady Who Lives In Goldsboro Joins in the Chorus of Praise for Cardui, The Woman's Tonic.

Ooldsboro, N. C " A physician treated me for many distressing symptoms," writes Mrs. Etta A. Smith, "but gave me no relief. "I suffered with neuralgia around the heart and was troubled at times with my head. I had pain in my left side, bowels, left thigh, shoulders and arms. "After taking Cardui, I am now well and can recommend it to other suffering women." Just such doubtful symptoms, as those from which Mrs. Smith suffered, are the ones for which it will pay you to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. It is at such times, when there is nothing to show, for certain, the real cause of the trouble, that you need a tonic, to eive the body strength to throw off the illness that evidently threatens. Take Cardui, when you are ill, with the ailments of your sex. Take Cardui as a tonic, to prevent illness, when you feel it coming. Your druggist keeps it. N. B.

And it Is a peculiar thing that this very fact that the benefits are not equally distributed is causing more and more Three Mile Roads to be built and the townships to become more and more deeply involved. This is due to the effort to "get even" with the law. How It Works. Under the Three Mile Law every tax payer in the township In which a stretch of road is built pays taxes for the making of the improvement. Thus Jones, who lives in the south part of the township petitions for a three mile road in front of his farm. The improvement is made and all tax payers of the township pay the same proportionate share of taxes for the building of the road as does Jones and his neighbors who live on the road. Realizing this. Smith, who lives in the north part of the township and some of his neighbors, conclude that if they have to pay taxes for the construction of the Jones road in the same proportion as does Jones, they will have a road of their own. Accordingly another petition is presented to the county commissioners and Smith and his neighbors secure a Three Mile Road. Then the Clarks, the Moores, the Martins, the Browns and others of the east, west and divers other parts of the township wake up to the fact that they are not being equally benefitted, though all the while equally taxed, and they too petition for Three Mile Roads. The scramble continues until the four per cent constitutional limit is reached and then it is found that only about one-third or one-fourth of the roads of the county have been improved and about two-thirds of the citizenship of the several townships of the county is "out in the cold" so to speak, as far as getting a Three Mile Road to adjoin their farms. The only plan then is to get up a petition anyway and place it on file so that when part of the old bonds have been paid new bonds can be issued and new roads made. Their turn will come some time. Payable In 1913. According to Auditor Wood's figures there is due on the principal of the bonds of the Randolph County townships in 1913 the amount of $61,874.48 and interest on the bonds amounting to $23,684.16 making a total of $85,568.64 payable during the year. In concluding this statement the auditor says: "Note the amount of interest payable this year." A little computation from Auditor Wood's figures shows that the Three Mile Road improvements will actually cost nearly 20 per cent more than the original contract price. This additional cost comes from interest on the bonds. Though the rate is low the total amount will have to be paid in interest during the life of the bonds (which run for a period of several years) amounts to considerable. The principal on the Randolph County stone road bonds on Jan. 1, 1913, amounted to $517,175.40 and interest coupons on the bonds amounted to $102,385.07. It is thus seen that by the time the bonds have all been taken up and the road improvements paid for, the cost to the tax payers of Randolph County will be the total of principal and interest amounting to $619,560.63, the latter amount being an increase j of nearly 20 percent of the original cost of the improvements. Nor Is This All. Randolph Countians are also awakening to the fact that while three mile roads are being built and bonds issued for their cost, that the amount of taxables in the county is constantly decreasing. For citizens of Randolph county are purchasing the bonds and they are non-taxable. Thus while an indebtedness of a half million dollars is accruing on the one hand, a half million dollars is likewise taken out of taxation on the other hand. The burden becomes doubled. Saw The Danger. It must not be said that the citizens of the township of Randolph county are insensitive to their position. It has not taken a great deal of foresight to sense their situation and of the fact of the "breakers ahead." Some have gone to the trouble of finding a remedy whereby future petitions might be headed off by legal procedure. The Randolph County commissioners some time ago took an appeal on one of the petitions and secured a change of venue to the Jay County circuit court. The commissioners then advertised in the Randolph county papers giving notice to the tax payers that if they would fi!e a remonstrance signed by Just one more name than was contained on the road petition, that the petition could in all probability be defeated. But the efforts of the commissioners came to naught. The tax payers were still Imbued with the idea that if Smith and Jones had three mile roads in front of their farms that were being paid for by all

( Advertisement) A MOVEMENT IN SCALPS. One of Them, Though, For Good Reason, Wat Firmly Fixed. One day when Professor Powell tras hearing the class in anatomy he was describing the manner in which the various muscles of the scalp perform their several functions, says ex-Gover nor Theodore T. Geer. reminiscent of j his schooldays In "Fifty Years In Orej gm " To make the subject clearer the I professor told the members of the class to move their scalps by aid of the mus cles without moving the head and proceeded to lead the way by giving a personal demonstration. He had a shaggy head of hair and could turn his scalp almost halfway round his head. The success that attended his maiden effort was so astonishingly complete that it brought forth a rour of laughter, in which the professor heartily Joined, although his mouth was where his right eye usually was and his ears were under his chin. When order was finally restored each member of the class tried it. with vary ing degress of success. But Tom Niklln's effort was a hopeless failure, although his superhuman attempts to mfove his scalp were as laughable as Professor Powell's grotesque success had been. Finally, after the poor fellow had made all the oblique grimaces the class could endure, the professor said: "Thomas, what is the matter with 1 your head? "I don't know, sir." replied Tom, "unless I am the only one in the room whose bead is so full of brains that they crowd his scalp." SLEEP OF THE ELEPHANT. What Little There It Seems, as a Rule, to Be Taken Standing. It is doubted whether, in the wild state, elephants ever lie down. Gordou Cumming thought he had found evidence in marks upon the ground that the adult bulls did stretch themselves out at full length for a few hours' rest at about midnight, but he contended that the young and the cows always remained on their feet Another authority. Selous. has expressed doubt whether even the old bulls lie down. He tells of one herd that was known to have kept moving and feeding throughout the twentyfour hours. "Except when rolling in mud and water." he says, "it is likely that an African elephant never lies down during its whole life." However this may be. the most competent authorities seem to agree that this animal sleeps less and more lightly than any other. J. L. Kipling, the father of the writer, estimated the period of slumber taken standing up to average about four hours in the twenty-four, and this estimate has been employed by the son in an amusing pas sage for one of his stories, "Motl Guj," wherein the sleep of the elephant is represented as consisting of an hour's fidgeting on . one side and a similar period's fidgeting on the other, followed throughout the rest of the night "by long, low, rumbling soliloquies."

URGE NUMBER TOTAKEEXAMifiATION Many Will Attempt to Secure Teachers' License Saturday;

Because of the large number of applicants who will take the county teachers' examination, it will be necessary to hold the examinations in the high school building next Saturday. There were eighty-two applicants at the last examination. Forty-six of these were beginning teachers and thirty-six were experienced teacher. The examinations in Wayne county are more difficult than in most counties of the state. It is planned by County Superintendent Williams to maintain a high standard of teaching in Wayne county. Wayne couflty teachers receive a larger salary than those of most other counties. An unusual feature of the last examination is that seven experienced teachers out of the thirty-six applicants failed to pass the examination Seventeen of the experienced applicants passed and twenty-nine failed. There were sixty-nine applicants for state license, thirteen for high school license. Thirty-seven applicants received a common school license and nine received a high school license. Twenty-six papers were sent to the state department ,at Indianapolis for grading and the other fifty-two were graded in the county. Good Excuse. Patron What took you so long with my eggs?
