Changing Ch,rorraphy.

The changes in fashionable hand
writing during the past ten years have
been marked. Young girls of to-day
write in large and usually firm char
acters, while a surprising number of
young men, not trained to clcfltliness
and struggling ;between several recog-
hizcd standards Of "a good masculine
handwriting, produce letters of singu-
,larly childish style of pcnmanship. But
leaving out these ccnditions.of youth
and transition with their more or less
fascinating suggestions OF equal
change in the intellectual fashions of
young men and maidens, there is an
ineXhapstible interest in the study
of mature handwriting, from the
point of diew of the subtle
clairvoyant interviewer of other
peoples minds and methods. For
example, most literary mon nova
days write small hand. The phrase
Literally men is very sweeping in this
connection and isiby no mems limited
to the producers of pure literature in
this country. In that case there
would be next to nothing to say, es-
pecially if the literature produced was
restricted to that genuinely itnbucd
with style. Literary men in this
sense means also all men who have
the power and also 4 most surprising

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-The President
to-day nominated Howell Z. Jackson of
Tennessee to he Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States in
place of L. Q. C, Lamar, deceased.
Irqulry about the Capitol shows that
the appointment is considered from a
judicial and not a political view, as
splendid one. About the Supreme Court
1t IS said that President Harrison has
shOwn once more great deal of judg-
ment in his selection of man for place
on the bench of the highest tribunal in
the lrnd.
The appointment was great surprise
to the Tennessee delegation in the House

that could be desired. The selection was
politically no more pleasing to some OF
the Democratic Representatives, who
recall the fact that Judge JAG kson was a
leader Of the up School Democrats Of
Tennessee" an element which made a
warm but unsuccessful fight within the
party in favor of the payment of the
State debt dollar for dollar, substantially
as demanded by the bondhO,ders. These
men said, hewever. that the new Judge
was strong, clean and able.

England 10 take charge of the plant. The
property purchased by the now company
contains several square miles.

men Brown said were implicated with
him. The officers in charge Of the three
men we're overpowered quickly and the

preparing his body for burial The whole
country is aroused. johnson in his con-

Convicts and the Roads.

The Supervisors of Campbell county
have started out in the right direction,
The action Of the Board, which was
noticed in the Adraaee Mon lay, will
commenced itself to the Judgment of all
who have given much thought TO the
subject.
2The road question is one which comes
home to every citizen, whether he lives
in the city or the country. The man
who can devise feasible plan fol- the i'm
provement of our highways will be
public benefactor.
The utilization of convict labor ON the
country roads is long step forward. The
forty convicts which Campbell will secure
on the first of March, with proper manage
msnt. will do more towards lettering the
country roads than all the labor now
wasted upon them.
The old system of making and main
taining roads by the labor OF citizens
living along the line has proved to be a
miserable failure. 1t has been tried long
enough and should now be abandoned
for some plan more IN accord with the
progressive spirit of the age.
In considering this question, orc thing
should not be forgotten. The farmers
owning lands abut,ing on the road arc not
the only parties interested and they should
not be expected to bear all the expense
of Improvement. All clases of our citizens
whatever be their occupation, whether
their residence be in the city or in the
country, are vitality concerned in the
transportation question. In this age Of
the world ana in the present state Of de
velopment no country can prosper
without good roads, and cities cannot
thrive in languisAing country. This
conclusion follows: tie State must take
hold of the work. 1t is too big thinI
for local communities to cope with
There must he cooperation to accomplish
the best results.
Its not intended to discuss the sub
iect Just now in all its bearings ou
simply to indicate our qualification tha
Campbell county is leading off in
manner which promises the best result
Whatever general system may b
adopted, one part of it must unque'
tionably be the employment of able-bodie
couvicts as road-laborers. They wi
interfere with 20 established industry
They will be IN the way of no free laOoI
ers. for none of them are anxious to wor
the roads.
The conyicts themselves will be bet
ter off working in the open air than the
would be if shut up in close quarters. )
there can be ne objection on the score G
humanity TO this form of labor.
The experiment of Campbell count
will be watched with interest, and it
hoped that the success of the experimen
