Road LAWS.

More than a year ago, the Jour
nal had occasion to present series
of articles to its readers upon the
subject of our public road system.
Since that time it has been discussed
variously throughout the state So
great, in fact, had the discomfort
with our present road law become
that the Legislature at its last ses-
sinn felt constrained to introduce a
bill locking to change in the sys-
tenn. The Oglethorpe Echo thus ap-
proves it:
There is now before the Legisla-
ture bill concerning the working of
roads that will, if 1t passes and is
made a law. hit the nail on the head.
II requires that tax be levied on all
who are subject to road duty instead
OF their being required to work the
roads. We believe that this is the
only means by which orr roads will
ever be worked az they should be.
If this bill passes then there will be
competent overseers employed who
know their business and who will
put the roads in good condition and
the roads will be well worked with a
great deal less trouble and worry
than is now experienced. We dc
not know what the general princi
piles OF the bilI are; but we don't be-
lieye any law could be made that
would De any worse than the one
now IL vogue, both to workers and
roads.

In spite OF special detectives, watchers, I'M
usual vigilance on the part of employees, and
other precautions taken by dry-goods stores, toy
houses and other establishments that have q
great throug of customers for the Christmas
trade, it is thought the kleptOmaniacs mana ged
to get away with goodly number of articles.
just what the losses are by this class of custom
ers is not easy to determine. In some houses it
is undoubtedly large, and the thieves are in q
majority of cases women. One of the coolest
cases on record took place ar an East Washing
ton street dry-goods store. wel-worn hat
was found on a counter mixed up with new
hats. On investigation it was dis
covered that a high-priced hat was
missing. Some of the clerks had seen a woman
go ont of the store wearing new and stylish
hat but supposing it h ad been bought and paid
for, she had been allowed to go out without
question or hindrance. In the afternoon a
woman with the Identical stolen hat on her
head came into the store, marched up to the hat
counter and asked for the discarded piece of
headwear. She said her sister had left it there
in the morning while purchasing hat. When
charged with the theft of the hat she then wore,
she stoutly denied having taken 1t, bnt said she
had bought IL on South Illinois street. The
feather had been changed from one
eide TO the other and the trim
ming had been rearranged. but the
clerks were positive as to the hat. visit to
the South Illinois street establishment failed to
substantiate her claim, when she broke down
and acknowledged having taken the hat but
with the intention OF paying for it. She asked
the price of it, and when told Sc so attempted
to beat down the price, but finally paid for It,
though on leaving she declared 1t didn't suit her
COMPLEMENTARY at all the kind of hat she
intended to get, and didn't thin she would wear
n all.

PRIZE SHOOTING.
Target Practice at the Hepburn Rifle Range
Who Took the Prizes.

The prize shooting at the Hepburn rifle range,
on College avenue, yesterday, was not as largely
atttnded, nor was the shooting as good as it
should have been. The heavy roads accounted
for the slight attendance, and the hazy eonfll-
ton of the atmosphere brought the scores far
below the average heretofore made at the range.
Nevertheless, the spert was good and spectators
and participators were well paid. There were
six prizes, the first being an elegant Hepburn
rife, valued at $50, donated TO the club by E.
Remington & Sons Of Zion, N. Y. The other
prizes were cash. The following is the score
