Good Country Roads.

Excellent country roads-what q
blessing they are-and yet it does
look as if the American people will
never learn how to make them. Il
Mason county, for instance, had all
her mud roads built on scientific
principles what source of wealth,
health, and happiness it would be.
And this applies to ever county in
the State.
1t is only about one hundred
years ago, says the Chicago Herald,
since England pulled herself out OF
the mud and began building those
solid, excellent roads which have so
enriched her people. The West
minister paving act of 1862 may be
regarded as the beginning of the
better state of things now shown by
English roads. In 1869 Arthur
Zony gave most graphic descript-
ion of the terrors of English coun-
try roads. In Scotland things were
not any better. So bad were the
roads there that oatmeal, turf, straw
and other articles were carried on
horseback, and it took a common
carrier fortnight for his journey
between Selkirk and Edinburgh, a
distance of only 80 miles, and a
coach required six days to go from
Edinburgh and Glasgow and re-
turn, distance of A miles.
More than cetury ago London
began the work of extending roads
into the country. This movemet
was, of course, violently and obsti-
nately opposed by those to whom it
proved to be of the greatest bene.
fit. But the work was carried on,
aud under the direction of such en-
gineers as Rennie and Telford,
England now boasts roads that are
not excelled anywhere except by
that imperial accomplishment of the
first Napoleon, the road over the
Simplon Pass. The result is what
was foreseen by the intelligent and
persistent advocates of good roads.
The country has been made i'm
mensely richer and more attractive
and both town and country i'm
measureably benefited.
In the United States intelligent
roadmaking in the country is, as a
general thing, almost wholly un-
known. The ridiculous misappli-
cation of rustic labor and foolishness
known as "road working" is the
gravest farce an ordinarily intelli-
gent people ever took part in year
after year.

The coming debate between Mai.
Mckinley and Gov. Campbell, of
Ohio, will be looked forward to with
more than ordinary interest by the
people, not only of Ohio, but eff the
country at large, for the reason that
these two men represent, as Mr..
Blaine says, the "honest" difference
between the Democratic and Re-
publican parties. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that these distinguished gem
tlemen will discuss the question of
the tariff and kindred subjects upon
their merits, rather than to descend
to the bluff and buster common
with third-rate or fourth-rate stump
speakers. The battle between these
word warriors will be determined
and hard-fought one, and when the
smoke of the conflict has cleared
away, the people can decide, dis
passionately, which has come nearer
the truth.

Hurts the Prorlslon Trnde.

The National ProviSiOner, after an
investigation, finds it will cost from
s15GOOO to 100000 and a years
time to construct a tin-plate mill
that will make tin-plates "in COM
mercial quantities and in quality
equal to the imported goods and
with any possibility of competing
in price" After diligent search the
ProUisioner has not been able to find
any tin-plate mill, large or small, in
operation in this country, making
tin-plate in a commercial way.
''No tin-plate for canning pur-
poses" says the PrOvisloner, sis
made in this country" AS to other
kinds, whatever is done at pres
ent," it says, sis either done for po-
litical effect or for advertising, rath-
er than for business purposes. i"
The PrOvisiOner calls attention to
the hurtfulness of the Mckinley
tin-plate tax to the provision trade.

CoAL.-The coal industry in the
United States is of gigantic propor-
tions, involving the investment of
many millions of capital and the
subsistence of many hundreds of
thousands of people. According to
recent census bulletins the output
of coal in 1889 alone aggregated
1O4, sac, ,299 tons, the value of which
at the mines was s131 ,421, ,172.
Fully two-thirds of the States and
Territories are coal-producing. But
great as is the annual production of
in this country, it is insignificant in
comparison with the possibilities.
Our coal resources are simply
enormous. Vast areas of coal meas
ures, thousands of miles in extent.
lie distributed between the Atlantic
and Pacific and the northern and
southern boundaries. Throughout
the west and south coal mining is
rapidly increasing in Importance.

BRUNSWICK, GA, July 13.-Lieut. Harry
Shook, Of the Atlanta Rifles, has dis

Cumberland by Capt. Spencer. Here is the

Intoxicated beyond doubt. As he passed
through the dining-room door into the bsll
room wild desire seized him to create a
sensation. Grabbing some glasses on a
table near by be let fly one after another

GLASSES FLEW LIKE HAIL.
Like hail the glasses few and with one
accord the dance stopped. Fair girls shrisked
aud chung to their frightened partners
for protection until at last, as
no one seemed to possess nerve
enough to tackle the gay lieutenant,
the entire crowd broke for the doors
farthest from him, crushing dainty dresses
in their efforts to escape the danger.
Finally Shook was forced ont of the room
the doors were closed and the ballroom was
deserted. The next day Shook was ordered
home, and that night he passed through

A NEGRsss OUTRAGED.

Two Blacks Laid in Wait and Seized

ATHENS, GA, July 13.-Two negro men,
both residents of Oglethorpe county, am
pushed themselves in a lonely and unfre-
quented road in the vicinity of Lexington
on Saturday evening, and waylaid negro
woman named Lizzie, the daughter of
we'll TODD negro in the neig bborhood, hi
Collins. and before she could offer any
effectual resistance. they had pinloned her
arms and gagged her. Her struggles were
unavailing, and after accomplishing their
purpose they released the woman and fed.
Her screams brought assistance to the spot,
but her assatlants had disappeared. As
soon as the outrage was noised abroad
Sheriff Dave VIM organized posse and
went in search Of the two scoundrels.
TRACED TO A CHURCH.
He traced them to a church on the out
skirts of Crawford and surrounded the edi-
fee. Choosing six men, all armed with
Winchesters, he entered the church, while
divine services were in progress, and SPOT
ting his men, he placed them under arrest.
They offered no resistance. AS soon as the
news of the assault began to circulate among
the negroes, threats of lynch law became
prevalent and the two negroes were lodged
in the jail at Lexington for safe keeping.
The woman does not bear a Spotless charac-
ter, and this fact goes long ways to offset
any organized effort to interrupt the proper
execution of the law. The excitement pre-
walls principally among the negroes, and
then only in limited circle. The matter
will be thoroughly sifted, and legal redress
will be had.
