VALUE OF SMOOTH ROADS.
Interesting Traction Test at the Atlanta
Exposition.


Exposition.
Greensboro Patriot.
The office of road enquiry of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has just completed series of
"traction tests" at the Cotton States
and international Exposition, the OBJ
ject of which was to determine the
amount of pulling force that a team
exerts in drawing a loaded wagon
over various kinds Of road. Under the
direction Of skilled: road eng ineers an
elaborate system OF specimen roads
was built upon the exposition grounds,
and on these the experiments were
conducted a ''traction-dy
ter" devised and made especially for
the tests, was used to measure the
amount of traction force.
Some of the results are very inter
esting and Instructive. For instance,
the tractive force necessary to draw
$500 pounds up per cent. grade op
a smooth stone road was only $50
pounds, while it requires | 800 pounds
to draw the same load down st per
cent grade on typical sand road. and
the driver refused to venture at all
upon an ordinary Georgia dirt road"
The small mules easily pulled 900
pounds up a 10 per cent. grade on the
stone road, but were stalled immed;-
ately on attempting to go dow rhii! on
the sand road.
The conclusions drawn from all of
the tests is that team is able to haul
as much in one load over smooth,
well-rOlled stone road as it can haul in
four loads over the country roads now
in common use, and that the sudden
Jerks and strains which are SO wearing
on team are entirely done away with
when hauling over the smooth sur
face Of a Well-roIled stone road.

granted for encampment travel by all

ters will be given veterans coming with

The route Of the G. A. r. parade,

phalt streets, free from street car tracks
and shaded for most of the distance.

will participate in this parade. The Of
hoia programme promises many
parades, receptions, reunions, camp
fires and the like. Members of the
Boys brigade, wearing white caps, will
be stationed all over town to give in
formation and act as guides, without
charge,

their home Friday morning. The old

In an unconscious condition on the
floor Of his bedroom upstairs, while
Mrs. Russell was found on the first
floor. Both were fully dressed and COW
cred with blood when neighbors en-.
tered the house Friday morning. These
neighbors say that the old couple were
,quarreling nearly all night. It is be-
ilieved that they assaulted each other
with knives during their quarrel. A
bloody butcher knife and o penknife
were found in the kitchen. Physicians
say both will probably die,

NANSEN'S TRIP.
The Arctic Explorer Talks Of Ills
Great Voyage.
APPROACHED NEARLY TO THE POLE
might Have Reached tho Goal But Was
Compelled to Turn Back for Lack of
Dogs and Canoes-Open Water
in the Far North. !.

Vardo, Aug. 15.-Dr. Nansen, the re-
turned Arctic explorer, says the Fran
<lrifted with the ice, in westerly direo-
ton. to "a degrees, and he expects the
vessel will eventually arrive OF Spitz-
bergen. He adds that wherever they
penetrated they found the Ice broken.
Large patches of water were also found,
$500 meters deep. Below the depth Of
100 meters the water was appreciably
warmer, probably owing to the gull
stream. Rocky scars, of which the ex-
plorers had no previous knowledge,
prevented entrance into the Olenek
river for days.
In consequence Of the scarcity Of dogs
with the expedition, DR.. Nansen was
compelled to turn back at se.15. He
adds that II he had been provided with
@ sufficient number Of dogs and canoes
the pole would have been reached.
The land voyage was most arduous,
but extremely valuable scientific re-
suits were obtained.
In 1895 DR.. Nansen reached the north
coast Of Franz Josef Land and built
stone house, in which he lived the
whole winter.

This is to certify that 1 am person

need. Its many home the minister
cannot reach, which this missionary

Sunday School, where they learn di-
vine lessons of love. l can recommend
Rev. Harlan's work. 1 hope and pray
that he may be the instrument in
Gods hand of organizing many more
Sunday schools. He also in the win

Picnic at Daly's Flats.

Last Friday was given to various
sports and amusements in the way of
a picnic terminating with dance in
the bowery the proceeds for the bene-
fit of St. Kairns church at that place.
The day opened with ball game be-
tween the Cresco nine and the Har-
mony club, with G. b. Gallagher of
Des Moines as umpire, and L. V.
Drake as keeper of the score. The
game was for purse of $15. The
pitchers Tor tie Harmony nine were
Dunn and Foley, for Cresco Len Gro
bel, with the Cresco nine first at the
bat. The game lasted about three
hours and resulted in Cresco making
% hits with 90 runs, Harmony 6 hits
and two runs. 1t is but justice to the
Harmony nine to say that but two of
its regular nine were in the game and
were kept in the field nearly all the
time the indications at times being
that all the afternoon would be spent
without an inning for the Harmony
boys. The day was enlivened by mu-
sic IRON a band from Canton which at
the conclusion of the ball game led
the march to the bowery where a
short and pertinent free silver address
was made by Mr.. Tibbles OF Cleveland
Ohio. At about 5 o'clock the merry
young people of the party commenced
to trip the light fantastic to music
furnished by Roche's orchestra. A
running race, single dash, of half a
mile snd high diver from an eleva-
ton of nearly 20 feet into pool OF
water about twelve feet in depth were
among the attractions which drew
about 500 people to the Flats that day.
A fine supper was spread by the ladies
of the church and society which was
enjoyed hugely by the hungry people
who had passed the day among the
excitements and pleasures thereof.
The people of the Flats are voted by
the Pee DEE royal entertainers.

4 Nogales, A. T., Aug. 15.-Three Of the
iYaqui Indian prisoners who were cap.
tured after the battle here on the 18th
inst. were quietly taken out Of town
Friday afternoon by squad of Mexican
soldiers and shot to death. They were
given hearing Friday morning and
acknowledged their connection with the
raid, but pleaded that they were forced
TO participate by their chiefs. Several
Iinritatdons were issued to American
Officers by Mexican officials to witness
sthe execution, but otherwise the killing
was secret and no one knew when the
men were taken out nor where the exc.
cution took place. A number OF other
Indians now in prison here are likely
to receive similar treatment. The Mex.
acan authorities continue to bring in
suspects, and there are now six con.
fined in the Nogales Jail.
