ATLANTA. Ga. January 10. There is
every indication that Mr.. John Inman's.
desire 20 be relieved of the presidency OF
the Richmond and DsuvilIe system will be
granted aud that some practical railroad
man will be put into the presidency. with

as president of the Richmond Terminal

managing the finances of that great organi-
zation. and that he should be relieved of the
active management Of the railroads owned
by the company.
In this connection there are several
names prominently mentioned. the most
prominent of which Is that OF Samuel

who would in every respect fill the bill
CAPTAIN W. G.. Raoul of the Mexican Cen

NEW xoaK SHOCK Market.

NEW York. January f9.--The stock mar
ket to-day was Doth active and decideuiy
weak. the pressure against the list being
continued, and the supposed imminent
war with Chile was again one OF the most
prominent topics Of conversation on the
street and an important cause OF the weak

Gould and his associates, however, was
more fruitful topic with which to depress
stocks in the railroad list, and rumors oil

suited in special weakness IN Dlstiilers

Intelligent roadmaking in this coun-
try seems to be a lost art. 1t is ridicu-
Ious to compel the yeomen each year to
turn out and scrape great clods upon a
road already impossible and thereby
keep it in bad condition all the year.
Road working" as now conducted by
rustic labor is the narrowing farce of to-
day. How long this humorous maneu-
vering will be tolerated remains to be
seen. The ablebodied men of the dis
trict turn out under the roadmaster and
spoil the highways for months to come.
Like Tennyson's babbling brook the
pathmaster's farce goes on forever.
Railways can never supply the place
of good wagon roads, which a few miles
of the latter would amply prove to any
disinterested mind. The grangers seem
to think that the cities should bear
the burden of expense. Not so. The in
terests are mutual and not inimical.
Notwithstanding all the great benefits
to be derived there will always be stub
born opposers to the road Improvement
idea until the blessing is i~rrevocably
thrust upon them. 1t is a fact that in
other countries it has been proved that
good roads have benefited the country
folk far more than the city people. 1t
is surprising that country dwellers IN
understand this fact and fully APP
preciate it.
There is but way to secure h
great boon of country roads-build them
by a general tax.-Bloomington Eye.
Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1892-04-28
An Ideal Country Road.

The ideal country road is the macad-
am. The first cost is heavy. but the
roadbed can be kept in repair at small
expense. and ultimately saves to those
who use it far more than it cost. The
usual method of laying a macadam
road is as follows: First, a layer of three
to six inches of broken stone, about the
size of ones fist. to be put upon the
graded roadbed in dry weather. After
til the desired thickness has been OBJ
tained-all the layers except the first to
he put down in wet weather or saturated
with water and rolled. Macadam's Gus
tom was to put three layers of broken
stone to secure a depth of nine TO ten
inches. The cost of the construction
varies greatly according to the material
used. distance of transportation and
manner of putting down. A part of
Randolph street was macadamized last
year and it furnishes a test of the cos
of such work in this vicinity. After the
roadbed had been put in the proper
shape a course of broken limestone about
tlSHt INCHES thlch was idlu anu soluiN
packed by sledging. On the top Of this
a course of finer stone. none larger than
two inches in its largest dimensions, of
about four inches thick was laid and
thoroughly rolled with a fifteen ton
roller. The top layer was kept sprinkled
while being rolled, and it was rolled a
second time. A thin layer of gravel or
very fine stone was put oyer the top to
act AS a binding material. Limestone
was used. although it is a little too soft
to make the best roadway, because of
the crumbling or wearing away. The
cost was about $4,000 a mile.-St. Paul
Pioneer Press.
