In his message to the Pennsylvania legis-
lature a few months ago, Gov. Beaver
called attention to the bad condition Of the
dir. roads in that state. The legislature
did nothing looking toward an improve
ment OF the roads, however, and now one
Of the Philadelphia newspapers suggests
that Pennsylvania follow Georgia's example
and call road congress. There are a good
many other ways in which Pennsylvania
might very properly initiate Georgia, but
what it is desired particularly to say is this:
The people Of good m ny other states are
interested in the outcome OF the road con :
gress which meets in Atlanta tomorrow.
They will keep posted concerning the pro-
ceedings. and if the action taken should
result finally in better roads for Georgia,
they would give US credit for it, and would
follow our example. The members Of the
road congress should speak business and
transact business, and should keep bun

He Missed His Specimen.
From the New York Sun.

A curious story is being told OF young
woman attending one Of the principal colleges
for the gentler sex which illustrates the peculiar
forgetfulness that sometimes women fall into.
TINS young lady was attending asreCeption given
by the professor of geology in the college one
evening not long ago, at which there was a
variety OF geological specimens displayed. and
later light collation. set forth The fair college
girl had taken piece Of sponge cake, and was
delicately nibbltng at it, when someone called
her attention to piece of 81 (. coral on a stand
near by. She put down her sponge cake on the
stand and lifted up the coral to examine it,
Meanwhile two or three other girls came up,
and the conversation drifted from the subject
OF coral formations 10 something entirely out
side the pale of geology. The young wonal
who had been holding the coral ia her hand put

subject. Presently she put forth her
hand to find the morsel OF sponge cake
and. without looking ut the table lifted up
what she supposed was the cake and while
somebody else was talking delighted herself by

Tha Two Uncles.

The Secretary of Agriculture appears TO
be the most popular member of the cabinet.
The boys in Washington call him Uncle
Jerry" Prom the description of him, and
the reports Of his sayings and doings which
appear in the newspapers. one Ii reminded
of Uncle Joshua Whitcomb." the chief
character of Denman ThompsoRs story of
the "Old Homestead. " Uncle Jerry" may
not be quite so much of a stranger TO the
ways Of the world as Uncle Joshua" but
he appears to possess the same kindly
nature.
Perhaps Derman Thompson, had met
Uncle Jerry" before he drew his sketch Of
Uncle joshua" AS both unclss are very
popular would 1t not be interesting to know
whether there is any such relationship as
suggested Uncle Jerry" is not proud,
and neither is Uncle Joshua" 1t is re-
lated that few days ago "Uncle Jerry"
was seen moving in the grounds OF the
agricultural department, and he swung his
scythe with a skill and vigor that filed the
souls Of the laborers present with joy. He
went on little excursion a few days ago
with number of newspaper men to the
farm of Gen. Angus, the proprietor of
the Baltimore american. He was as
frisky as a colt turned into a pasture
for the first time after being kept in stable
during long winter. He wasn't satisfied

sion. The profound JOY that ''Uncle Jerry.
experienced in riding mule without any
saddle, and which he expressed in ways
in accordance with his gentle nature, con-
WINGED the visiting journalists that there is
great deal more good in mankind
than they had thought probable. Through
out the visit to the farm or Gen. Angus
Uncle Jerry" and "Uncle Joshua" were
associated together In their minds. They
were glad to find in real life a character
with which they had become familiar in
fiction.
There are some people who are disposed to
SANDER Uncle Jerry" by asserting that bis
innocence and simplicity of character are
assumed for purpose. They say that he is
ambitious to be President, and that he is
now seeking to make himself popular with
the farmers. Statements like these are un-
just to Uncle Jerry" No doubt he would
gladly accept the presidency, but he would
not do so simply to crafty ambition. OF
course not. He would do so in order to
have a wider field in which to do good.
"Uncle Joshua" has captured all who have
come within his influence No doubt if he
we're eligible he could have any Office in the
gift of the people. "Uncle Jerry" is eligible,
however, and he is SO much like ''Uncle
Joshua" that if other ambitious republican
leaders are wise they will keep an eye on
him, because he is coming to the front pretty
fast.

The Baltimore Herald charges that the
new postofiice building being erected in
that city contains much "Buddensiek
work" ;" and that the interior construction
is worse than the notorious ceiling work n

wainscoting will have to be torn out, the
roof is like a pepper box, the cellar is a
mud hole. and everything between cellar
and roof is in bad condition; that there are
uneven floors, misfit windows, bad plumb
ing, etc. The charge is too serious to be
overlooked or disregarded, and the prob
ability is that Baltimore will have first
class sensation.

Some Of the republicans Of Massachusetts,
are shocked because the Florida legislature
has given Jacksonville a charter which
authorizes the governor to appoint board
of aldermen for that city. They declare
the charter to be a roundabout way of pre-
venting republicans from controlling the
city. Well, suppose it is. No Massachusetts,
town would submit to be controlled by men
unfit to carry on a municipal government.
There are republicans of integrity and
ability in Jacksonville, but the number of
them is not large. The colored folks are
big majority of the republicans there, and
if the colored politicians had control of the
city very pretty condition of affairs would
exist there.
The New York Erenin1 Post says that
the Massachusetts, republicans have no rea-
son to be shocked by the course of the Jack
sonville democrats, because the latter have
only followed the example set by the
Boston republicans few years ago, when
they induced the republican majority in the
legislature to take the selection of police
commissioners fer the city away from the
democratic majority among the voters,
whom the republicans declared unworthy
to be trusted with it, and gave the appoint
msnt of the board to the republican gov
ernor."
These Massachusetts republicans have
short, or very convenient. memories. II
they were consistent and honest they
would see less In the south to find fault with.
1t makes one smile to think of such people
being saocked.

asserted that she was 100 years old. She
was born in Georgia, but she never was

She had very distinct recollection of
events Of the war of 1919, and it must be
said to her credit that she never claimed to
have been cook or nurse in Gen. Wash
