STATE AID FOR GOOD ROADS.
Hoy the System Is Worked In MasSaeha
setts-A Popular Measure.

Hoy the System Is Worked In MasSacha-
setts-A Popular Measure.
The law in Massachusetts giving state
aid for the construction of highways
has been in operation about year and
has become n very popular measure.
Under its operation the state pays all
the expense in the first place, and %
per cent must DO refunded by the conn
ty, six years being given in which to
make the payment to the state. Mono
of the expense of the road falls upon the
town individually. They have to bear
tho cost of the first surety, upon which
is based their petition for \ state road.
but beyond that all the expense is borne
by the county and state.
This is n great temptation TO the
towns. and it is not surprising that they
have petitioned in large numbers for
these favors from the state treasury. No
town meeting is necessary in the case
of any town. but the people who want
n state road may petition the selectmen,
and the latter, if they adjudge that the
public necessity requires such n road,
can petition the state commissioners.
They can also petition upon their own
initiative. These petitions are passed
upon by the state commissioners, who
determine whether the public necessity
and convenience demand the construc-
ton of n state road where it has been
petitioned for. If the decision is favor
able, then n thorough survey is made
under the authority of the state COM
mission. Copies of the working plans
are kept in the office of the commission
and are also sent to tho county commits
sioners and to the town clerk of the
town where tho road is to be built The
road is then laid out by the state COM
mission, is built under contracts made
with the commission and is ever after
maintained at the expense of the state
The character of the road which is
constructed is far better than the peo-
pie of the country towns have ever built
for themselves. The grading reduces the
steepness more than is thought of by the
average hill town Outside the cities
and large villages the present roadbed
is only some 10 to IL feet wide, but the
new state roads are macadamized for ut
least Is feet in their narrowest part
The surfacing material, which is put
on after the bed is graded, is six inches
thick in the middle and five inches at
the edges. At the bottom are laid 2 y
inches of broken rock. Upon this are
put two inches of rock broken to a
smaller size. and upon this is put the so
called dust which is rolled down,
making n perfectly smooth and hard
roadbed. II is ono of the specifications

that Xavier had won.

Xavier in his turn as he surveyed his
prize with affected unconcern.

speaking for the first time. II am going

The multitude shouted again. The con-
test was growing exciting. Xavier glared
at Leonard and bit his fingers with rage.
He was very near his limit of possible ex-
penditure.
Now, then" cried Pereira, licking his
lips for joy, since the price had already run
90 ounces higher than he expected. Now,
then, friend Xavier, am to knock down

It sounds a lot, but she Is cheap ut the

But mind, it is cash down, no crcdit-no,
not for an ounce. "
"A hundred and Fifteen" said Xavier,
with the air of a man making his last
throw for fortune.
"A hundred and twenty" said Leonard
quietly.
He had bid to the last ounce in his pos
session. and If Xavier went further he
must give in unless indeed he chose TO
offer Soa's ruby in payment. This, need

coolly, he called to slave girl to bring

he knew well that his antagonist was
watching for n cue, and IL he showed un-
certainty all might be lost. But in his
heart Leonard wondered what he should
do If another ounce was bid.
Meanwhile the spectators were shouting
encouragement, and Pereira was urging
Xavier to increase his offer. For awhile

lifted the glass in his hand and paused.
Xavier made n step forward and opened
his lips to speak. Leonard's heart stood
still, but presently the Portugee changed
his mind and turned away.

glass down so. heavily on the arm Of his
chair that it flew into fragments.

Reports That writs Arc Being Prepared
For n General Election
OTTAWA, Dec. 22.-The government de-
partments were closed out of respect of
the late Sir John Thompson and to allow
an opportunity of attending pontificial
requiem mass at the Basilica.
1t is reported here that writs are being
prepared for "A general election. No con
flrmation can be had. The death of Sir
John has created n wave of sympathy for
the Conservative party. and the accession
OF Bowel to the premiership has strength
ened the 60, eminent with the Protestant
element. Besides there will be a big def
icit this year, and the ministers do not
wish to meet parliament on the eve of an
election and make this acknowledgement.
They would probably therefore prefer to
go to the country before tho assembling
OF the next parliament, which generally
takes place in February.

EMpoRIA, Kan, Feb. g. 9.-Nearly every resident of Bushong, few miles from here, was i'll town to hear the case against Misses Anna Blair and Lotta Williams, teachers at that place, charged with cruelty whipping a scholar. According to the evidence Stella Williams, a healthy colored girl, aged about IS, used vulgar, obscene and blasphemous language in school, and Miss Blair sought to punish her. Stella, however. was too much for theteacher, and she called for aid. Miss Williams went to her assistance, but Stella was still victorious until several of the larger white pupils helped the teachers, and Stella was subdued and thrown out of doors. The colored people are very indignant and the whites are equally so. The charges against the teachers Were dismissed by the jury.

The GRAPHIC contains the an- nouncement of Maj. H. A. Mccoy as candidate for Circuit Clerk of lief ferson county The office of Circuit Clerk has heretofore been conceded to the Republicans on a compromise ticket, but the sentiment this year among Democrats is unanimous for straight ticket, hence that office will henceforth be filled by a capable Democrat. As to Maj. Mccoy, he needs no introduction at the hands of the GRAPHIC to the voters of Jef- Iferaon county. He is personally we'll known to perhaps every voter in the county, and wherever known his competency to efficiently discharge the duties of the office to which he aspires will be at once acknowledged He has served the county as Treas urer in the past and is now the pres ent incumbent in the Assessors of flee. He has been a lifelong Dem ocrat, a loyal partisan and has ever worked for the good of his party, county and State. lie is eminently qualified to ill the office to which he aspires, and should he be nominated and elected he will give, the office Q clean, energetic and business-like administration We commend his candidacy to the earnest consider ation of the voters of Jefferson county.
