THE COMING ROAD CONGRESS-

The Purposes for Which 1t Is Called
and What 1t Wants to Accomplish.
A good deal Of interest is being taken in
the southern states road congress to be held
in Atlanta Oct. Is.
Secretary w. G. WILDLY Of the Georgia
road congress, in outlining the work to be
accomplished by the coming convention,
says:
THE object of the road congress Is not
Sd much to discuss the present road laws In
force in Georgia, as the necessity for two
things: First, permanent system; secondI
permanent improving of the public roads.
There Is wide difference between working
| public road and building one. As at press
ent enforced In Georgia the road laws may
do passaoly we'll in working the roads, but
there is no permeIepcy III the work, nor no
system in it. The road commissioners
have never studied the question thoroughly,
and even IL they had, the law does not give
them the funds necessary to put perma-
nent work on the roads. What IS desired is
permanently improved roads, according to a
well-detined and everlasting system, SO that
the work done one year will last for years
to come. 1t must be In line with that done
in other parts Of the country the succeed
ing years. A small force, worked under
the direction Of man acquainted with the
requirements of good road, and with i'm
ptONeu AdUSE Saving lulpleluSuIS ana D1AJS-
rial at hand. Systematically and contin-
uously. can secure to the people frst-ciass
roads. cheaper than they could be had under
the road laws of Georgia This Is true
when the permanency of the work is con-
sidered. The subject is one of
vital Importance to all classes 1t
is potent that one system of agri-
culture must be changed before it can
prospe~. Large farms and the tenant sys-
TEN must go. Small farms cultivated on
the intensive system by the owners must be
the order of the day. But to reach this re-
suit these small farmers must have good
roads to the markets. The hauling of large
quantities of produce in less time than can
now be done is an element of importance in
building up the small farmer. In this day
of rapid transit, transportation by the COM
mon road must not be held back to the pace
Of the past ages Tne coontry needs the in
spiring effect Of faster and better transit. y

their contra accounts, Brown claiming that
Patrick's was wrong, and rice versa.
Brown accused Patrick of having q true
statement OF the accounts which Brown had
drawn up. Patrick denied it, but said il
he had Brown would not get it.
AT this Brown got insulting, aud
used language that few men would take.
Stallings then told them he would rather
they would not have disturbance in his

talk it over, and within a few minutes the
fight occurred.
DR.. Strutton was then recalled by the
state in rebuttal, aud stated that Perry
Brown was with him at his store from
about 1880 o'clock till 2:30 o'clock, and he
saw him again in about half an hour

rick. He made statement as to
the time of the shooting, which he said was
at $3.50 o'clock, standard time. or shortly
thereafter and swore positively it did not
take place before 2 O'clock. He also stated
that Patrick had told him two days after
the shooting that he would not have shot
Willie Brown, but he thought Willie had
knife, and that Brown told him in CONTRA
diction that he did not have a knife, but
had pair of wooden knuckles. He under

Lillian Lewis in Lawrence Marston's
Credit Lorraine"
Lillian Lewis in Credit Lorraine will
be the attraction tonight. The company
played in Augusta night before last, and
this is what the Chronicle says of the per-
Torrance: To say that Miss Lewis ard her
excellent company made a paIpable hit is
but expressing what an enthusiastic audi
ence has expressed before.
The sympathetic responses made to every
point aud situation in the presentation of
Credit Lorraine" must have been CRAFTY
ing in the extreme.
Mr.. Marston's play is great. 1t abounds
10 strong scenes and IN deep, heroic emo
tions 1t is characterized BY perfect com
bination of the trlnities. b" and the charac-
tors are natural and individual A more
thrilling and engrossing climax than
panic in the bourse could not have been
chosen.
Miss Lewis interpretation-or creation
of the part of "Lehora di Castigiioni' was
strong aud faithful She was met with
loud applause, and in her future visits will
always be welcome. 1t is as she deserves
for no acute discernment could find any
thing to which tenable objection could be
made
In short. every feature of the play and
every character in its presentation was
thoroughly satisfactory.
