GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Gen. Stone Talks of the Interest Shown
in the Various States.

Gen. Stone Talks of the Interest Shown
in the Various States.
Official reports to the bureau of roads
inquiry at Washington show that in
creased interest is taken in the good
roads movement, and that large pro-
portion of the railroad companies have
agreed to further the idea by offering
very low rates whenever any general
movement Is started. Gen. Roy Stone,
In charge of the bureau, VINO has
been spending some weeks attending
road conventions in the west as the
representative of the agricultural de-
partment has returned to Washington.
In reviewing the progress of the move
ment Gen. Stone said:
SIN Indiana and Missouri great in
terest is being taken in the movement.
In Nebraska there is not much need
for general road improvements, except
in the river counties. Owing to the
naturally good roads, helped lately by
the very dry weather, Kansas is inter-
ested in the question and anxious to
make the improvements, and the legis-
lature will undoubtedly take up the
matter and make decided changes in
legislation. Nearly all of the southern
states are taking some steps in road
building, either by increased use of
convict labor or by county building.
Michigan will take some impor-
tant steps this winter to make its coun-
try-roads law more successful. A very
energetic movement is in progress in
! Wisconsin. In New Jersey state aid
will probably be doubled in amount
this year. The Massachusetts state
commission has asked for 81 ,0O0,0 to
expend in the construction of sta tie
roads. There is some opposition to
this, but the appropriation will be
granted. General opinion favors con-
Wet and tramp labor for road improve
ment. The main idea is to use state
prison conviets in preparing road ma
terials working in quarries where they
can he guarded, and to use tramps,
county prisoners and short-term con-
Victs in macadamizing the roads"

How to Build a ServiceabIe Icehouse at
Moderate Cost.

How to Build ServiceabIe Icehouse at
, Moderate Cost.
An icehouse need not be costly
structure, but if it is to be an at
tractive addition to the farm or in
keeping with other attractive build
ings it cannot be built at a small cost.
l shall charge the cost against the eff
fciency as preserver of ice. The re-
quirements of an icehouse are that it
will hold sawdust around the ice to
keep the rain off and drain water. The
materials used in its construction may
be of the cheapest and rudest charac-
ter and yet keep the ice as well as if
it cost $3.50 or $780, A neighbor has an
icehouse erected at avery small cost,
and yet his ice is preserved perfectly.
The sides are of poles laid up into a
pen II feet wide, eighteen feet dong
and 10 feet high, the poles being
notched slightly where they cross, to
prevent rubbing and to lessen the
cracks between them. The gables are
left open to give ventilation. A floor
is made and proper drainage acquired
by laying rails together foot thick.
The roof projecting feet at each end.
is of clapboards nailed to cross pieces
resting upon pole rafters. All the ma
terial except the nails and the materia.
for the door were worked out of the
farm timber.
In filling this house the blocks are
laid within IS inches of the holes and
the space between them filed with
sawdust as the ice is built up. Where

Leaal oasutstru--zeigler case.

Casuistry may be the result of good, fair
criticism, but even criticism does not always
work out a consistent and pertinent result.
We have had many very liberal decisions
on iustifable homicide by the Supreme
Court of West Virginia, carrying the ques-
ton of life or death by the revolver's car
fridge or the bladed knife into close prox-
unity with a free license to take life. This
is not all chargeable to the present Supreme
Court of this State, but the enlargement of
judicial functions to the adjustment of the
Jury system, as in the decision in the Zeig-
Ter case, is a wipiDg out of a line OF
judicial presidents, that will furnish food
for reflection both to the jurist and practi-
toner. The case was before Judge Faulkner
in Morgan county, and after an impartial
hearing, Mr.. Zsigler was convicted, a mo-
ton for a new trial heard, exceptions taken
and evidence certified. As to the law of
self-defense, justifiable or excusable homi-
eide there can be but little controversy, but
when the Supreme Court takes charge Of
the evidence and formulates q decision there
on, in defiance of the opinion of twelve men
on the facts and the ruling of the Judge, it
becomes a question of grave doubt as to the
propriety of such action.
On this proposition Judge Brannon, in an
addenda to the opinion very properly said {:
II doubt whether, under the rule of practice
in this court, we should express any opin-
ion upon the evidence" 1t is a very serious
question and will likely become one of grave
consideration to harmonic with actual
practice in the courts.
Justice Brewer, of the U. 5. Supreme
Court, in an address before the National
Bar Association, among other things wisely
referred to, said
"In criminal cases there should be no APP
peal. say it with reluctance, but the truth
is you can trust a jury to do justice to the
accused with more safety than you can an
appellate court to secure protection to the
public by the speedy punishment of a Grim
inal. To guard against any possible wrong
to an accused, a board of review and par
dons might be created. - Martinsburg Ind.

The Confederate Memorial.

The report of Adjutant- General Moor
man, of the United Confederate Veterans,
published elsewhere, shows that there are 700
camps of these old soldiers of the South
They in are all the Southern States, and in
Illinois and New York, in the North show
ing how the veterans have wandered away
from their old homes to find new among the
people against whom they fought.
An interesting matter in this connection
is the generous proposition Of Mr.. Charles
Broadway Rouss, of New York, to donate a
large sum toward the erection of a grand
building for the preservation OF relics and
memorials of the Confederate cause. Mr..
Rouss was a Southern soldier from Win
chester, in the valley of Virginia but, after
the war, he removed to New York city,
where be amassed a large fortune.
Animated by a patriotic desire to perpet-
uate memorials of the Southern cause, which
be had so much at heart, Mr.. Rouss, with
extraordinary generosity. has subscribed
100000 for the erection Of Il noble mauso-
leum of the Confederacy. Other donations
are invited from all who are interested in so
sacred an undertaking, and it is believed
that a fund will be raised to accomplish
something worthy Of the grand and heroic
memories that are to be preserved. A COM
mittee appointed by General Gordon, COM
handing the Confederate Veterans, headed
by General George II. Stuart, Of Maryland,
with members in every State, will have
charge of the enterprise. Colonel Robert G.
Wood, Of Louisiana, Is Mr.. Rouss' represen.
%tative, and General j. A. Chalaron, of this
city, is the Louisiana member of the COM
mittee.
The enterprise is such a noble one that it
must meet universal favor IN the South

The summer-breeze plays by yon Sound,
But it is the same breath that kisses
The leaves by the new home you've
found.
The wave, that rolls out of the Baltic,
Breaks its spray on our Jersey shore,
And the sun, as he comes up the noun

Rules proudly the day as OF yore.
And so with the hearts tina would greet
you;
They are true, as the ones, you love best,
We welcome you home to the Southland;
For love knows no East and no West.
We are all rom the same northern
fathers.
Branching off from the stalwart stem;
So our newly-found brother and sister,
Let us greet you with: "Velkommen

And here, where the floods flow together
And Potomac runs on to the sea,
And even the rocks reached toward
heaven,
You are merging to Il destiny.
And now may your course, like the river,
Bless its boundaries of orchard and
grain,
And meeting the grand pulse of ocean,
Lose itself in the life of the main.
And so, when the fruits If your labor
Wide are spread like the leaves from the

One day you will hear a voice calling.
Softly calling you: "VELKOMMEN

Death of Ex-senator Le,cis.

Hon. John f. Lewis died at his home in
Rockingham county. Virginia, on Monday.
He was the second son of Gen. Samuel III.
Lewis, and was born near Port Republic,
Va, March l, 1918. He was descended both
in the paternal and maternal line from John
Lewis, the pioneer and Indian fighter, who
was the first white resident of Augusta coun-
ty, aud whose sons Thomas, Andrew, William
aud Charles, were highly distinguished in
the early history Of Virginia. Thomas, the
eldest son, and the great grandfather of Sen
ator Lewis on the p%aternal side, was near
sighted, aud therefore did not take part as a
cOmbatant in the Indian or revolutionary
wars, but he was a member Of the House of
Burgesses aud was an intimate friend of
General Washington, with whom he survey
ed and took up a large quantity Of land
Thomas faithfully supported the rights of
the colonies in the House of Burgesses. He
advocated the resolutions Of Patrick Henry
in the session of 1865, was a member Of the
conventions of l775 and 1776. and also of
the State convention that ratified the FEEDER.
al constitution.
Senator Lewis's great grandfather on his
mothers side was Col. Charles T. Lewis, the
youngest son of the pioneer John. He was
killed at the battle of Point Pleasant Octo-
Der 10, IVA, while leading his regiment
against the indians, under the celebrated
warrior "Cornstalk." Andrew Lewis was
commander-in-chie of the white forces at
this engagement, and his statue occupies
one of the pedestials around the Washing
ton monument 10 Richmond.
Senator Lewis inherited in full measure
the moral, intellectual and physical quail
ties of the distinguished men from whom he
was descended.
