GEORGIA is thoroughly aroused on the
road question, and j. determined to have
better ones. The movement has taken
shape, and congress cOnyenes at At.
lania next Wednesday to devise ways
and means to bring about the much
needed reform in the public highways OF
that State. Georgia is not the only State
whose highways need improving, and
the success of the movement there might
serve as an incentive to betterments in
other directions.

TlIE PENSION TAN.

The Constitution SAYS that it is the
proof Of a peoples generous nature that
the South votes for pensions, and it adds:
And yet a people less generous and
cordial might have paid ungraciously
and might have DISTRACTED and piddled.
The case is rather a hard one. The
pension list is $sO,OOO,OOO year.
Georgia's proportion Of the tax,
though. which is thus collected,
IS a lrihe over 50, 10000 OO-the proportion
of the South a trihe over S3O,OOOOOO
This enormous sum of money is taken
from Georgia every year and poured
into Ohio. let us say-from the South
and poured into the North. From
the poor and devastated section into
the rich and prosperous section
this tremendous current of wealth has
flowed for twenty years in steadily in
creasing volume The South has smiled
shrugged her shoulders, and accepted il
as one of the results of a rough arbitra-
ment 10 which she herself made appeal. ~

THE FASTEST FIRST TRT.-lt was not
known till the Augusta Victoria reached
her dock that her passage across the At
lantic had been an important one in the
history Of steamships. She had broken
the record for first trips, not only from
southampton, but, allowing for diiier-
ence of distance between southampton
and Queenstown, from the latter port
also. She had in short, made the finest
first trip ever made by an ocean steamer,
eclipsng at last the record OF the Amerl-
ca. which has stood so long as the quick

Women ArtisticalIy aud Socially.

In an art gallery recently two ladies
were overheard talking about the com
ing artists festival. Both were going
and each was describing her costume,
which, she was glad to say, was at last
all ready for the occasion. The elder,
if seemed, was one of the matrOns. for
she was going 10 wear ole OF the state
" Venetian costumes which are as
signed To these guardian angels OF the
Dignity Of the affair; the Younger was
an artist and was To appear in a Greek
.rowm, in which. there is no doubt, she
will look charming. 81 suppose" said
The malr0n smiling, chat II Is an

the artistic and lapse into the social
spirit, are going to be absorbed in

we shall have little chance to study
and enjoy the others. ."
80, never fear" said the young
artist, eve shall, us you say, lapse
or, rather, relapse But, really, | do
feel little sorry. too, that there are
no galleries in the Art Museum. 1t was
a sad oversight on the part of the
architect. But then he never could
have known that it was one day to be
