ROAD CONSTRUCTION.The Improvement and Maintenane

of Dirt Htghways.It is a comparatively simple matter

to take care of the surface water on a

farm or neighborhood road, and with a

road machine several hundred feet ofgood roadbed suitable for neighborhoodtraffic can be shaped in a day of tenhours. If the road is suitably crownedso as to shed water into the ditchesand the surface is compacted with a

heavy roller, a useful neighborhoodroad can be produced at wonderfullysmall cost.On a dirt road of this character a

wide tire will consolidate the surfaceand steadily Improve the road, reduc-ing the cost of maintenance to a mini-mum, said E. L. Tessler, Jr., in an ad-dress before a South Carolina goodroads convention. If, however, narrowtired vehicles are driven over a dirtroad the roadbed will be cut up in a

i3t7ThED BY NARROW TIRES.

s rt time, the water will lie in ther*made by the wheels, and the laborexpefted on the road will be practi-cal'y thrown away.If the road under consideration is in

a sandy section, a top dressing of clayfrom two to three inches in depthshould be evenly spread and harrowed.Then the whole surface of the road-bed shbuld be plowed up to a depth offour inches so as to bring about twoinches of the sandy soil to the top.This plowing should be followed by a

thorough harrowing so as to intimate-ly mix the sand and the clay, afterwhich the road should be carefullyscraped, so as to preserve a propercross section, and then the roller shouldbe put on, gradually increasing theweight until the whole surface is com-

pacted into a solid mass.After the cost of building any road

comes the cost of its maintenance; b.",,.,,the roadbed has been properly pre-pared and the surfacing well done, theroad can be kept in good order at com-

paratively small cost. The cost ofmaintenance will be in inverse propor-tion to the width of tires used on the

e method of making dirt roadsbe summed up as follows: Clearroad of all roots and vegetableer, drain all damp places, providehe rapid removal of surface water,

Good and Bad Roads.Ioallties where good roads have

e built are becoming richer, more

proslgerous and more thickly settled,,whil~ th'ose which do not possess these

a~ges in transportation are eitherat a ,tandstill or are becoming poorerand "- ore sparsely settled, says the as-sistai t director of road inquiries. Ifthese &conditions continue, fruitfulfar~ may be abandoned and rich

lands 'go to waste. Life on a farm of-ten omes as a result of "bottomlessroad "isolated and barren of social en-joy ents and pleasures, and country

* ~ peop, in some communities suffer suchgreat disadvantage that ambition isc , energy weakened and indus-tr7 P ralyzed.

I'is'the greatest industrial problem ine country. Besides effecting a saving

of more than $900,000,000 annually Its said that good roads would solvee problem of congestion in the citiesi enabling more persons to live In theuntry. __ _ _

A Sad Accident.

A very sad accident occurred atthehornwell Orphanage Tuesdaymorning, May 19th. The centr',ugalwringer in the steem laundryburst, a portion of it strikinig MissAnna-Anderson, one of the orphangirls,who had just come into thelaundry to speak to some one. Thepieceof steel broke both her armsanddreadfully mangled her body.Thechild died in a few minutesafterthe accident.She was a Swedish girl of prom,.ise.She was especially talentedinmusic and served as organist in

the chapel service. The accidenthas cast the entire community intogloom. Dr. Jacobs, president ofthe Orphanage left Monday forCalifornia and it will be impossi-ble for him to return before theburial. The accident will be a se-

vere blow to him, as the childrenof the orphanage are very dear to

At the time of the accident otherchildren were busy in the laundry,but no one else was injured.-Clin-ton ('hronicle.

and three little grand chil-dren are happy. They can'1

talk fast enough to tell me aboulthem. There are little things itour domestic life and there are bin

dren have been watching and wait.in-g for the bantam hen to lay helitter and hatch her little brooianid this morning the telephonEbell rang furiously and it said:"Our bantam hen has hatched,'and soon they came running to tel:us about them, but they didn'1stay five minutes. They had to gcback and look after thie bantams.Well, there is nothing prettier icall nature than a little brood ojbantam chickens and my faithis they were created specially tcmake little children happy. IIseems that they originated in a lit-tle town of that name on the islandof Java and have been transplant-ed to other countries. They are a

The papers are full of bigthings, but they won't comparewith the little ones.Clark Howell went a thousand

miles to make a big speech aboutGrant. That was all right. Ihave more respect for GeneralGrant's memory than for any bigman who was on that side, but Istill fail to understand how Lin-coln came to appoint a slave hold-er as general of the army. Buttime keeps rolling on and Grant'sattitude on the race problem seems

to be the popular one now amon~gour northern brethren. The census

and the result of negro edu..ationhas at last convinced the negrolovers of their mistake,

I couldn't imagine what BookerWashington was to do with that$000,000 of Oarnegie's last gift, butI see by Booker's late card he isgoing to expend it in manufactur-ing tooth brushes and he says hecan reform the whole race by sup-plying them with tooth brushes.That is all right-anything to getrid of the money that keeps on

piling up. He might add a sidefactory for toothpicks.But, speaking about General

Grant, reminds me of his magnifi-cent tomb at Grant park, and thatreminds me of a good thing on oneof my boys who, when in NewYork, not long ago, was invited bysome congenial friends to take a

ride with them and see the tomb.They stopped in front and my boyheaved a sigh and said, "Yes, that'sold Bob Lee-the greatest soldierwho ever lived, and there's whathe said at Appomator when hegave Grant back his sword, 'Letus have peace.'" When informedof his mistake he said: "WVell, Iwasn't there, of course, but myfather was, and that~s what hap-pened-so he told me GeneralGrant surrendered his sword toGeneral Lee and old Bob gave itback to him and said; "Let ushave peace"But w6 want no mistake made

We want no more slaves.We wouldn't have one aq a freegift- We are ready to give themawry to anybody who wants them.Tlhe last census report says thenegro is much the most criminal olour population and is increasmngin crime with fearful rapidity.The negroes who can read andwrite are far more criminal thanthose who cannot.

practiced in Belgium. It returns tothe trade, under the form of a whole-some produet, meat which otherwisewould be unfit for consumption.The mIxing of aqua fortis, which

costs but a few cents a quart, with es-sence of lemon has reduced the priceof the essence in Italy to 23 cents perpound, while the pure essence is worthfour or five times that much.Sweden's success in dealing with the

problem of temperance is attested bythe fact that the consumption of liquorsis now only four quarts per head perannum, or one-sixth of what it was in1830, whereas in Gerniany it is 11.2quarts per head.

Plunkett, :On May Meetings. ,

THE second Sunday in May isthe "big meeting" Sabbathof the "Hardshells" at old

Hardeman church, and I wish thatall of Georgia could be there.Haideman ehurch is among the

oldest churc*es in our county andbeing located in a typical "Hard-shell" settlement, it has never be-come tainted with any of the new-

fangled ideas sur departed fromthe primitive customs that were so

c mmon with our fathers and underwhich sociability flourished, a rev-

erence for age was the rule and a

dependenca on God was theprop to sustain.Me and my folks and Brown and

his folks are prepaiing for the day.The second Sunday in May andthe second Sunday in August are

the two Fundays of every year,from time immemorial, that thesepeople have held their big meetingdays, and the occasion never growsless with those who are raised inthat faith and who have been so

successful in preventing the en-

croachments of progress withintheir fold. Just as it has been foryears, on this second Sunday peo-le will flock there from eua i-

rection, '"E i

wagons, some on horses and someafoot. They will begin to arrive at

the church full two hours beforemeeting time and as they arrivethey will gather in groups, tha menon one side under-the trees and theladies on the other, and there iswhere the great sociability of theoccasion is r'ade manifest. Saunt-er around from group to group andyou will soon know of everythingthat is passing in each settlement.If any have died you will soon

learn it, and you may learn of allthe characteristics of the departedone. If any are siuk you will missthem and soon know what doctoris attending them, what kiud ofmedicine is *being used, how thedoctor compares with other doctorsand, certain, you will hear ofmanyremedies that cured others affectedwith the same disease. All themarriages will be made known, and.if there are any new babies youwill learn whether they are girls or

boys and which side of the housethe baby favors. Such as this willfurnish a pleasant pastime untilthe preacher arrives and a song isstarted by some of the old brothersand sisters which calls the congre-gation inside the church. Thus ithas been for years and so it will beon this second Sabbath, and we areall anxious for the coming whohave felt the delights and hope thatthe same old castoms may alwaysattend the meetings at Harde-man.There is nothing strange in all

these customs to old people, for allold people, whether of town or

country, have seen just such, butthat a church should retaim themiin such purity within 10 miles ofthe greatest city of the south israther a wonder and may strikesome young and "progressive''folks as not being the best condi-tions to be desired, but the peopleof Hardeman are satisfied with it1all, and if they are pleased whoshould object? The very squat-ting around in groups and everyflow whittling as they do whittle,has a charm for us, and the song,perhaps-"All hail the power of Jesus' name,Let angels prostrate fall,

Bring forth the royal diademAnd crown Him Lord of All"-

hich calls the crov~d inside issweeter to me than all the musicof the opera and takes us backthrough all the years to feast on

memories that Seem so dear downto the grave.As already stated, the second

Sunday is an extra occasion. It is'foot-washing day with the .Hard-shelle, and this only occurs twicein the year. Whoever may attendone of these meetings on the ideaof seeing them wash feet will bedisappointed if they expect to findanything in the ordinance of a li ghtor frivolous nature. It is tbeHardshell's sacramental 'occasionand is serious all the iiay through,and is n ore calculated to bringtears than to create fun for the idleand thoughtless who may attendthrough curiosity to see the "wash-ing of feet."rThere is certain to be a good old-

fashioned sermon, with severalgood sangs hy the whole congrega-

tio i before the sacrament beginsand i.hese are liable to touch an]einsible person with the impression that it is no place for fun before the rite of washing feet beginsbut if it does not, then when' feetwashing does begin the veriest foowill discover that it is not -at alfunny.The ladies gather on one sid4

and the men on the other whersacrament begins. A, cloth is takerfrom the table and the bread andwine partaken of just about as inother churches, and with which Ihope there are none so heathenisbas to not be familiar. Then feet.washing begins, and it is just a

impressive as the taking of breadand wine. The men wash eactothers' feet, the ladies wash theladies'. A man pulls off his coat,rolls up his sleeve, puts a towelround his waist, and them humblykneeling he washes the brother'sfoot that sits next to him. In turnthis passes till all are washed, andthe whole is so serious as to put thescofier to shame and to draw nearer

to God the most thoughtless youthof the land.No stranger is allowed to depart

from the Hardeman settlemetiwithout their dinner. Brown an-

ticipates this with the greatestpleasure, and at dinner is anothersociable- hour. The truth is thatall the day is a feast of'sociability.The people grow up in socialibili-47Babes are carried to the

where they saunter to quench theirthirst or to court and be with eachother. All these things pertain atthe old church of Hardeman andwe rejoice that the day is at handthat calls us there once more. Therewe will meet old friends, hear ofthose who have passed away, learnof the sick and the new-born. Notthe least of the pleasures we antic-ipate is to see the babes in theirmothers' arms. They are a pro-lific people thereabout, and theonly person I expect to see happierthan the young mother with a babeis the one .with two bsbes. A pret-by babe in its mother's arms at anAd-fashioned church is the sweet-ast thing this side of heaven, a re-Luke to "fashion" anid a promisefor the future that can never beaxpected from children raised upilmost strangers to mothers, awayfrom the church and partaking ofsuch things as the servant uponwhich it leans may choose to inlistill.The socialability of such occa-

sions is a help to religion, an in-spiration to neighborly affection,and charms the hearthstone of thehumblest cabin to surpass all theelegancies of the modern mansion.If such settlements as Hardemanare behind on culture, they areahead on reverency, ahead on a de-pendence in God, ahead on thatfireside sociakbility that lent charmsto home and love between kindred.They mnay not have the charmingbooks to read that thrills withstories so pleasing to the taste ofthe cultures, but this gives themtime at night around the hearth-stone to entertain each other, tokr~ow each other better, and 'tostore up in their hearts a love sosweet that it remains a happy mem-ory wherever they may go or what-ever they may do. They may neverbe fascinated by travel nor feel the~thrills of fashionable dissipation,but this only makes them like theniore the meetings at the oldchurch and soothes the spirit ofdiscontent to a better relish oftheir country picnics and winterparties. At last, when "fashion"has went all the gates purchasableby wealth or demanded by the"bloods," there is nothing in itsweeter nor better than the cus-toms of the good people aroundold Hardeman.When I contemplate the great

churches soon to be erected in thecity and think of these customs Ihave written, I can but concludethat ''it would be wise for thesegreat churches to study why iiis so easy to "draw" these peoplein the country together. Onething I will venture to suggest iithat a mother is in a state of mincto enjoy the services if her babe itwith her. She is anxious if it iiaway, and, further, a heap morlsocial commingling and less starchwith einging by the congregation,that gives folks something to dcinstead of sitting lhke statutes,would do much toward filling th(benches that are now about emptyin city, churches and the tendencygomwing to keep away.
