SOME RIDICULOUS REPORTS.
It has coiho to Tho Reporter thut some of the oppon-
ents ot tho proposed good roads bond Isbho aro making
wild and exaggerated statements regarding tho Issuance
of bonds for municipal Improvements In Abllcno. It la
Bald that pimple living In tho rural districts who will
vote irt tho approaching elect!
leno has Buffered some sad e.'
Buea alleging that this city found difficulty to find a
market and when the money has boon secured It Has re-
quired a very large per cent of tho face valuo of tho
bonds to negotiate a sale. This Is ou'y a part of one of
the exaggerated and ridiculous contentions that is bolng
made with the hopes of turning men who live in the
country against the present bond issue. Or courso these
and similar reports nn! untrue us Abilene- has on hnnd
no unsold bonds and has never renllzod any put of the
usual trouble in ensiling her lionds and the cost of
finding a market and securing tho cngh has been no
more than tho nvorage of all towns and cities in the
State. Such elalms as these only go to show how hard
np the opponents are for an argument.. Voters are cau-
tioned not to give credenco to these reports hut arc
Urged to make a personal Investigation which will
quickly uomonsftrnf-o the greatness or the misrepresen-
tations which have been made to them. Those favoring
the bond issue have nothing to keep under cqvor. They
-desiro that the people who live in the country post thom-
celvcs in every particular and believe that It Is the duty
of everyone before ho vote's to loam just how much It
will likely cost to negotiate the sale of the bonds what
they will bring and how It Is proposed to expend the pro-
ceeds. Beware of Jho man or men devoting all of their
time in an effort to defeat the bond issue and demand
that all chargoB bo backed up with the proof.
Here are the real facts:
The City of Abilene has voted only 3 bond issues in
the last 5 years. The first $40000 for school hoime pur-
poses sold for a premium of overSOO.00. The' second
5Q000.0() for street Improvement sold for par and tho
city received the first months interest and about 14
days Interest In August making the city realize over $51.-
000 for this issue. The 3rd issue is for $7000.00 and has
already been applied for but at this time the council
intends buying tho issue with sinking funds of other
.bonds and holding th-in in order to make the interest.
Tho Reporter has remiirked more than once that as a
rule the first week In September settled In n )argo mea-
sure what tho crops of the country will be. We believe
tills is true this year. The recent rains will do much
flood in tho way of' making foedund will add a consid-
erable amount to the yield of cotton .lust how much
more cotton will bo made of course remains to ho soon
Borne Hay the rain added 2d0t hales to the number that
Abilene will receive from farmers wagons. Which of the
two Is right wo are not undertaking to say. tint we do
know that tho rain has benefitted crops and wo believe
that wo will yet bo able to raise faliiy good feed crops
and with u wet fall wheat will furnish fine wlntor pas-
turago and will save many dollnrs for feed. All must
realize that monoy matters will bo cjoso until nuqthor
crop Is made but lot's Joolc at things In a common senso
way and ho optlmlBtic and not pesBlmihtlc.
Tho crops this country is raising this year under con-
ditions that any othor country would hnvo utterly failed
Btamp this tho best country on tho face or tho earth.
Let him -who feels disposed to knock count what ho had
when ho camo here and What ho has now.
Tho term "depot" used to designate a railroad station
seems to have fallen into disuse except as applied to
insignificant structures of tho small towns and tho word
''terminal" has tho present approval. It lias been re-
cently decided that the now' Grand Contral structure In
Now York shall bo officially known as tho "Grand Central
Terminal" and tho now Pennsylvania railroad plant
-las been known as tho "Pennsylvania Terminal" since
-tho work began. A groat railroad station Is being seri-
ously contemplated -at Tacouia Wash. and It will bo
Imown as tho tormlnal.
"While not wishing to ho In the- light of offering advico
to our farmor friends ami rellow citizens this paper feels
that tho one thing and tho main thing UiIb country needs
to learn is to prepare for tho occasional dry years. It
Jb nn old saying: "proparo for tho wet years." In this
country wo muBt proparo for tho dry years. This can be
done by our farmors buying a llttlo less land our town
m people speculating Iojjb anil all seeing to it that wo lay
" l;y us in storo for tho dry year. It Is not right to spend
nvorything reaching out and count on each year for
our living llko this opo.

up JuRt nt a time when- Tho Reporter wub consuming
every hour of daylight denying the foundatldnless fab-
rications that were being circulated In Stamford and
other neighboring towns regarding tho health conditions
and water supply of Abilene and In- Its anxiety for tho
weal of Its own community It unintentionally and with-
out a semblance of malicious Intent neglected to mnko
tho due correction. - '
. The NewB baa refused to forgot and forgive Tho ue-
poi tor's unintended negligence and In commenting on
comments made by tho Dallas News and Browhwood Bul-
letin regarding tho misrepresentations about Abilcno's
supply or water In the current Issue Jl says:
"The above clipping from the Abilene Reporter of last
Monday reminds us that not long since The Reporter an-
nounced under scaro headlines that water was so scarco
In Stamford that It was being sold at five cents a glass
nr.uiHiiir in- hitmuHiiL' to crnito tlu itnnresHion that the
on are being told that Abl-J j(ji. mU wng ordInnr. .irinklng water Instead of
periences with her bond is- 1f of Hiivpinl nn& mJnnal wMb how-ex.
taut here. It further reminds us that the Reporter has
thus far railed to make the amend honorable though tliO
News has called tho attention of our esteemed contem-
porary to the unjustlco."
At tills late date The Kopoltor hastens to make a
tardy correction. ' It. has been ihoroughly 'convinced that
tilers was water in abundance and without cost tyr ev-
ery human being who attended the recent reunion. In
ract tills paper did not bellow that Hi condition existed
that tho 'people could not get a drink of water without
ipnying for it and did not mean to so Intimate in anj
article which has' boon published in these columns. It
knows too well that liberality to guests within their
wnllp has over been the predominating characteristic of
Stamford people It knows that before visitors would
be allowed to' go without free thirst quencher the fluid
which made .Milwaukee ramous If need be would be
shipped In by carloadB and dlspcusd with open hand.
The Reporter regrets that the f'-ellngs of the NeVs
editor lUivo been ruffled to a point where he would Inti-
mate that this paper 1 not willing to make honorable
amends for any injustice H irm' have been guilty of.
Tho News editor is no new broom In the business and ho
evidently Jins. long sinco learned how easy it IK to com-
mit grievous mistakes when there is a total abBence
of malicious Intentions. For Instance: lst Monday
when a rainfnll of from an Inch and a half to three ln-
rhos came1 to Ablleiie and practically all parts ofTaylori
county and all Indications were that it wob .general in
its eagcrnesH to spread Ihe news as quickly us possible
The Reporter Includes Stamford in its list Of places that
hud received a splendid season. The information thnt
Stamford had received a good rain came and without stop-
ping for verification publication was given. The Reporter
has- since learned that ito rain fell at Stamford and )
iug convinced the editor of the News Is1 somewhat on the
extreme as a stickler for correctness The Reporter has
tens before It Is again so severely Called down. and re-
buked to adnilt that said statement was erroneous.

to sauic proposition which Is soon
to bo voted on In this precinct uf
Taylor county. Me sayst
The supply of drum-sticks livers
and glzxurdB Is moll exhausted yet and
the Intclistrliig still hangs out. I
liayo been promising my neighbors for
nK years thnt 1 would "bring tho folkB
and come over" and now wo aro Just
in) busy as wo can bo redeeming these
promises. And between bites we want
to ask the people of Winters and their
commissioners' precinct to help us
out. a HHIle In our district.
You know the two dlstilqts are
going to vote together on tho road
bond question and our district Is ui
against such conditions that we want
the road bond Ihbiio and wo beg Win-
ters and her dlslfrlets to help us all
they emu We want good roads'lendlng
Into Winters and out from our big
white schoolhouso In every direction
and our people need the work and
need It badly. I understand that we
already li.lve a road ami bridge tatf
or l.'i cents and that an additional tax
of -s eontu will Justify $100000 woith
or bonds
.yiany wort' opposed to the bond is-
Sue when It was thought that there
would be nn additional tax or "'. cents
on the $100.00 on top or what wo al
ready have to pay but I understand
that tlie additional tnx Will only be
i cents. The country people need to
set; closer 'together in closer touch.
We peed to got in closer touch with
our townspeople. Good roads will
Jirlng us In closer touch.
Kivo and a hair per cent bonds
should sell for par. Our lands in
th? rural districts are rendered a'
about an average of $10.00 per. ac
Tlie man' who owns his little home or
one hundred acres would pay taxes
for the road bond issue on $10000
rendition which at -!5 cents on the
$100.00 would lie $2.30 a year One
day on the road with his team would
more than pny this load tax.
Ill is only a question with this man
as to whother good roads from his
home to tdwn and church and school
aro worth to him the price of one days
work with his team. Under the pres-
ent law We must work five days out
of every year free or pay $3.00. Now
ff the road bond fssile will eliminate
the necessity of working these rive
days the splendid advantage Is obvi-

Uood ronds will help. Through the
red tiny ronds of old 'IVniiesseo when
I was a slump-toed boy I used to
haul half a halo of cotttm In tho seed

Is no better when It conioB-to drawing
n load than the worst mudholo In It.
Von can pull no more to town than
you can get through the uTTid hole
with.
When reads are fixed right we can
go town with a big load and come
buck home for dliiuor thus saving our
l.'uiil8 the Inhuman treatment of doing
ali day without feed and Water and
also saving a iinlf day clear. Our
doctors will come fo see us cheaper
for the reason that the rouds are such
that they can save time. Good roads
put us In nearer and closer touch to
town and this enhances the real value
of farm hinds nnd the real Joy o
.living.
There Is also a saving of broken
wagons A vehicle will Inst vei:y much
longer on good roads tto say nothing
of (ho pleasure or riding.
It is high time to barken to tlie
voice or progress. Those mentally
well-halauced are hearkening.

Down hero In Runnels county W"
have felt the pull of the common spir-

In different! communities big white
sehoolhoUses aro going up and now
there is a mov'o in every district In
the county to vote the road tarf and
build roads from these educational
Institutions out in every direction
fioni one to the other and into thp
fawns'. It is' the best time to merge
tlie interests of town and country I
ever saw.
The business men has It emphasiz-
ed that prosperity begins with the
farmer or don't begin
Ordinarily it might be good policy
to say nothing and saw wood but mor-
bidity and solemnity should now be
avoided. The man who btitlftus up
his mouth closes his purse and lives
to himself alone Is notH worth much

UNCLE JOHNNIE.
"GOOD UOADS" OVKU LA Nil AS WKLL AS WATKK.
Amid tremend-jus enthusiasm delegates at the recent
session In Providence R. 1 of fhe Atlantic Deep Water-
ways Association laid plans to "make effective their de-
mand thai the federal government construct a chain of
Inland deep waterways connecting New England with
tie south."
Good !
I But What about inland highways?. Jt is hard!) debatable
that they aro of oven greater importance t" the country
as a whole than Inland waterways.
Yet what do you see?
Congressmen not only from the south but as well from
every othor portion of tho country calpily voting away
millions of dollnrs year by year to deepen and widen
harbors rivers and near-creeks with never a question If
good roads do not deserve us much at the' hands of the
government a.s good waterways.
Some of these days there is goln to bo an uprising
uild tho country will send (o Washington statesmen who
will see tho Importance of ono branch of public Improve-
ment as much ns another.
The fanner raises tho produce that foods the nation
most of tho products that olotho th nation.
It Ir desirable that these products get to markets and
factories as quickly nnd inexpensively as may bo.
For this purpose rnllroads and. waterways aro Indis-
pensable But the farm products must. In pra tlcally overy in-
stance travol a long way before they reach Iho railroad
or tho waterway. At present tho miserable condition of
the roads over which thoy tnako this important Part of
the trip to tho conBumor Is opo of tho heaviest Items In
the mooted cost of living.
. Session after session congress votes millions' Of the
people's monoy for waterway projects for battleships
headed toward tho scrnp-pllo and lots the exorbitant
tax on farm products' from tho noil to tho railroad -or
rlvor or port station remain untouched
. If It Is logical and Tight for tho government to regu-
'ate or contrlbuto to tho waterways It Is Just as right
and logical for it to aid In the development of good roads.
And tho country is waking to thut fact. Soon it will
lenioud that tho government divide Its' millions botvveon
'niuroved good roads ovor tho water ami good roads over
ho land for iho benefit of the- farmer and tho entire
country. Atlanta Constitution.
Soma who are opposing tho good roads movement and
