PEACOCK DEMANDS
Continued From Page One. of a fight bejlng' waged in this county byf Certain ! factions disappointed in the letting of contracts." . . - Wants All the Work. ' "Just how much of the bridge work do you want," '.asked Commissioner Seaney of Surveyor Peacock. : "All that the ' law allows - me," replied the surveyor. - . "How much do you think the law allows you," he was asked. "According to the ruling of the state supreme .court, the county sur
veyor is allowed all the work," said Peacock. - -i -;--'-.-" Mr. Mueller then said that this statement of the county surveyor was wrong and that the law was specific on this point, allowing the commissioners to employ experts on any bridge they intended to build. He said .that the law makes it plain that the board of county commissioners must have a complete set of plans and specifications before it is allowed to let the contract. This, be said, is to make it possible for contractors to bid on bridges even though they are not financially able to furnish their own plans. Gustave Hoelscher, county attorney, was asked for his opinion and it coincided with that of Mr. Mueller. He
said that the county had a perfect
right to employ engineers for specific work and did not require the county commissioners to give all the work to the county surveyor. Demand Peacock's . Reasons. Asked by the commissioners why the county surveyor demanded li.ll work while nothing had been said of it heretofore, Mr. Peacock said: "I can't understand why the county surveyor has been ignored for the last nine or ten years in Wayne county. I talked with Mr. Doddridge regarding the bridges over Nettle Creek, and he said that these would probably be turned over to me. This has never been done, and I understand Mr. Muel
ler has done the preliminary work on the bridges." Mr. Doddridge then explained that on the day the commissioners' took up the matter of the Nettle Creek bridges, they had planned to visit the sites. It was a bad day, and instead of going personally they sent Mr. Mueller. Mr. Mueller, he said, went to the office of the county surveyor to find out what had been done on the matter, but found that Peacock was not In his office and that nothing had been done toward making any plans. The county council was to meet the following week, and the commissioners were anxious to have an estimate .to present to the county council. Seeks an Agreement. "The supposition has been all the time," said Mr. Peacock, "that all the bridge work in the county has been
Mueller's. I won't argue that .though, now." "The purpose of this meeting this morning," said Commissioner Seaney, "is that we might have some agreement between the engineers so there's won't be any more squabble." "I have been insisting for a number of years that the county surveyor be given some of the work," said Mr. Mueller. "The only reason I have taken the smaller jobs is because I wanted to see them done. In 1914 I suggested that 'some of the work be
given to the county surveyor, but at that time he would not take it, because he had so much road work ahead of him." . . . t v r i , "As a taxpayer and as a holder of a public office, I am Interested in this," said Mr. Peacock. "Can . Mr. Mueller answer the criticism that so few contractors have submitted bids on bridge work in Wayne county?" Bridge Contracts Low. "The rson that more outside bridge companies have not been able to secure contracts in Wayne county," said Mr. . Mueller, "is that . local . contractors with equipment here can submit lower bids. When the criticism Is made that outside bridge contractors can not come in, it is not based on facts. The prices of contracts In Wayne county are much lower than in other counties. There has been competition, but by no large number of contractors. I hope that the board knows more than to blame this condition on me. It is an unjust criticism." "The territory around here is noted for low prices on bridge work," continued Mr. Mueller. "The criticism comes from people who have a motive at stake." Mr. Seaney then asked the bridge engineer whether he had ever been or was at the present time connected directly or indirectly with any local
bridge company or any company that!
has secured a contract in this county. "I never hare been,' I am not now, and I never will be," replied Mr. Mueller. "I know this criticism has been afloat, but it is unfounded and has been investigated thoroughly." Mr. Peacock's plan for building bridges in Wayne Is for the county engineer to make general plans for estimates by the commissioners. Private engineers would then submit detailed plans.
DANGERS OF A COLD
Richmond People Will Do Well to
, r rieen mem. 1
Many bad cases of kidney troubles result from a cold or chill. Congested kidneys fall behind in filtering the poison-laden blood and backache.
headache, dizziness and disordered kidney action follow. Don't neglect a t cold.. Use Doan's Kidney Pills at the first sign of kidney trouble. Follow, this Richmond resident's example: F. P. Brooks, prop, second band store, 33 S. Fifth St., Richmond, says: f "I had pain in my back and sides that seemed like lumbago. I also had rheu- . ma tic twinges and my kidneys were out of order. I used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Luken &. Co.'s drug store, and they made me better." (Statement given April 24, 1912.) On Sept. 13, 1915, Mr. Brooks said: "The only time I have any trouble with my kidneys is when I catch cold. I then use a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and always with good results." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Brooks has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Propt Buffalo, N. Y. Adv.
NEW TREATMENT FOR SWOLLEN VEINS
Swollen veins are dangerous and often burst. Sufferers are advised to get a two-ounce, original' bottle of Emerald Oil (full strength) at any pharmacist and start to reduce the veins and bunches at once. Physicians recommend Emerald Oil: it is used in hospital practice and a small bottle will last a long time, because it is very concentrated. Apply night and morning with the soft brush as directed until the swelling is reduced to normal. It is so marvelously powerful that swollen glands and even goitre disappear when used steadily. Leo H. Fihe can always supply you.

Dry cleaning at home is all the rage here, 6ays a well-known downtown druggist. Any woman can do five dollars' worth of dry cleaning at home at very little cost by dissolving two ounces of solvite in two gallons of gasoline; then immerse the articles to be cleaned; rub a little 'and In a few moments the gasoline evaporates and the articles cleaned look as bright and fresh as new. Dry clean your own silk waists, dresses, ribbons, belts, kid gloves, satin shoes, evening slippers, fine, laces, net work, woolens, dresses, children's coats, furs, veils, neckties, shawls gentlemen's garments, fancy vests, lace curtains, rugs, in fact, everything that would be ruined , by washing with soap and water. Nothing will fade, shrink or wrinkle, making pressing unnecessary. Dry cleaning at home is inexpensive and effects a tremendous saving in the household and is really just as easy as laundering. Any druggist will sell two ounces of solvite which is simply a gasoline soap and your grocer or a garage will supply the gasoline. Then a wash boiler or dishpan completes the outfit. As gasoline is very inflammable be sure to do your cleaning out of doors or in a room away from fire r flame with the windows left open. Adv.

The Dye situation is most critical. Indigo blue dyes especially are very scarce, advanced from 17c a pound to 4.70 a pound. Think it over and be convinced that prices in the near future may even reach those of which our Fathers told us when, during our Civil War calico was 50c a yard. Fortunately we purchased hea.vily before the advances and our stocks, are complete but such conditions cannot last always.
