Onr CnunrrY Roads


Complaints OF the shocking condition OF
/ the country roads are being made through
the press in nearly every part OF the
/ Union. The art OF road making Is evil
IDENTITY in its infancy in this country, for
/ there are few sections in which syste-
I matte and intelligent efforts are being
made to construct frst-class permanent
highways. These complaints now are
very emphatic, especially ia Georgia.
The people grumble after every long spell
OF wet weather, aud spasmodic efforts are
generally made 70 render the roads pass
able until they become dry naturally. Tue
grand juries frequently present the road
authorities for neglect OF duty, and some
times, though rarely. the latter are fined,
but soon it is necessary for the same old
complaints to be made-the roads are as
bad as ever, and the hope Of their perma-
nent improvement just as remote as it
ever was.
The present road laws Of Georgia are
defective enough, but they would secure
better roads than we now have il they
were intelligently and conscientiously en-
forced. Tnere seems to be no prospect
that they will ever be strictly enforced in
any considerable number of the counties
OF the State.
The inefectiveness Of the old system Of
rOad-making and repairing has been dem
oustrated hundreds of times, yet it con-
tinues to be followed nearly everywhere.
The mud or sand or clay is scratched up
from the roadside and thrown to the cen
are Of the roads once or twice year, and
little or no provision is made for drainage
or for the permanent improvement of the
roadways. OF course the first heavy rain
makes the roads as bad, it not worse, than
they were before.
Few counties can afford TO undertake
the building OF first class roads on AN ex-
tensiVe scale. 1t is possible, however,
everywhere to begin with the worst
places in the different public roads; and
to nave them properly drained and paved
or macadamized 80 that they will need
very little repairs for many years. This
can be done in many instances at com
psratively slight ex pense, and an act Of
the General Assembly passed in 1881 pro-
vides for the doing of such work in this
State, and relieving the road hands so
that their time may be devoted to sections
of their respective roads that require less
labor. II the counties of Georgia would
judiciously expend an average OF 81, 900
per year each on their roads under the act
OF 1881, 1t would be surprising what i'm
proyements would be made within five or
\ years. The question is will they do

A Pen Picture OF Gen. Lee.

In answer to the call for true portrait
OF Gen. Lee, Mrs. Henry Bryan. the
widow of that gallant Savannahian. the
late Maj. Bryan, and the daughter of
Georgia's inimtable word painter. the
late Charles Wallace Howard. sent to the
Richmond Va. States the following pen
picture of the great commander, as drawn
in an address delivered In behalf of the
Confederate Home in Charleston, 5. c.,
in 1874:
1t will not be invidious to dwell for
moment upon two Of our illustrious dead.
For brief period our army was blessed
with the presence OF one Of the most re-
markable men whom modern times have
produced.
He seemed born for this momentous
crisis. He became a General, as il were,
by an instinct. He sprang from the pro-
fessor's chair into the arena Of conflict
Uniformed hero. Intensely earnest, be
inspired among his troops an irresistible
enthusiasm. Utterly unselhsb, be
awakened among his cOmpeers, not ieai-
Ousy, but love and generous emulation.
Never doubling, always confident. TO
lead his army into battle was to lead il to
victory. The enemy fed at ais name;
with the C0nfederates it was a tower OF
strength. Children iisped 1t; men ex-
ulted in il. The chilliness Of age was
warmed into ardOr az lis mention. Even
reluctant Europe yielded TO its homage.
1t was the constant, holy. lofty Christian
faith OF this hero, never deserving hIm ia
the camp, the council or the battlefield,
which was the grand element of his eX-
traOrdinary success HIS brilliant course
was like that OF the meteor; his light still
steadily streams from his grave.
While history shall he written or lib
erty hOnored, or LOFTY deeds be approved,
tue name Of St0newall Jackson, shall be
cherished by the southern people, as the
ancents cherish their household gods.
But there was another, greater than
Jackson, his character being rounded,
full-orbed like the sun. In him were
united qualities seemingly Incompatible
ia The sam person.
Tue bravery OF Cesar, the caution of
Fabius, the impetuosity OF Napoleon, the
ScIpio. the purity Of Washington, and the
tenderness Of woman.
IL was doubtful whether this hero was
greater In victory than In defeat. After
the hnal reverse his acceptance Of the
inevitable was sublime. Who shall saw
whether be was most illustriOus at the
head OF his college class or at the head OF
victorious armyy In the combination
OF tue elements Of grandeur he is alone in
history.
Washin ton might have been his peer,
but the grand opportunity was wanting.
