TO TEST ROAD PAVING.
Two Thousand Feet of the County's
Experimental Road About Finished.

Two Thousand Feet of the County's
Experimental Road About Finished.
The experimental road which the coun-
ty commissioners are having constructed
under the direction of Superintendent of
Roads r. ]. Wade promises to prove a
decided success. For the purpose of test
ing different materials used in road
building, the commissioners have taken
that portion of the Ogeechee road be-
tween the city limits and the Charleston
and Savannah railroad crossing, a dis
lance Of about g. 400 feet.
Two thousand feet of this road has al
ready been completed, with the exception
OF rolling the material. The road is paw
ed over width of p feet. The first l 900
feet beginning at the railroad crossing,
Is paved with ebert from valleys mines
near CarrolltoR, on the Chattanooga,
Romc and Columbus railroad.
The second Loo feet is paved with
crushed stone, or macadamized The
rock used was brought here from Column
hia, :. c.. The next 1909 feet will be paw
ed with ebert from the Rocky Face mines
near Cartersville Ga. This will complete
5000 feet of the road, and the remaining
400 feet viii be paved with rock and
other material
Commissioner w. r. Chaplin, chairman
of the committee on roads and bridges,
says it is expected to complete the work
on the road as contemplated within about
a month There are now about twenty-five
hands al work on it. 1t requires about q
carloads of each material to build 1000
feet of the road. or neNrly $50 tons. Com
missioner Chaplin says there is no doubt
that the broken rock makes the best road
rs former tests have shown, but the ebert
makes the smOOthcst road. He has not yet
been able TO figure up the cost of building
such roads with these different materials,
and the results when it is completed will
be looked for with interest.

The Chicago Newspapers Full of Sa-
vannah's welcome.

The Chicago newspapers give glowing
accounts of the First Illinois Regiments
entertainment. as well as that of Gov. Alt
geld and of the members of the Chicago
Southern States Association, in Savannah
this week.
The Chicago newspaper men who were
with the excursionists saw the kind of
welcome they received, and their reports
told how the Chicagoans received it, The
Times-Herald said no one could resist the
spontaneous hospitality of the Savannah
people. Only a statue would have failed
to respond to the hearty greetings of
the Forest City The Tribune said it was
one of the warmest welcomes any body Of
citizens ever received. II adds: IF Sa-
vannah ever comes to Chicago there will
be great 'doings.' Receptions and din
ners and entertainments in clubs and pri-
vate residences innumerable added to the
pleasure of the day"
The members of the Savannah committee
which had charge of the programme of
entertainment of the visitors are graft
fled that their efforts are so thoroughly
appreciated. Savannah always does its
best to entertain its guests and it as
sures the Chicagoans when they come
again they will receive just as warm a
welcome as they did this week.
