After considerable consultation and run
ming 10 and fro, the parties who are la
boring TO TRANSFORMS the Barony of Buck
halter and adjacent property into dry
land, decided to fire the petition asking for
the opening of a new road to Thunder
bolt at the unprotected heads of those
who are opposing the wasting of the pub
lie money i was intended to be a pow
erful projectile, but it turned out TO be
only a pepper. When the petition asking
for the opening Of a new road 10 Thunder
bolt was being passed around for sigma
lures, everybody who was in favor of free
roads signed it because they saw no 9TH
er way of getting 10 that part of the coun-
ty which was the objective point of the
proposed road, without paying toll. The
situation, since the petition was circulat-
ed. has changed very materially. The
owners of the Thunderbolt shell road now
offer to sell their property tc the county
for $1,000, and the county commissioners
should buy it and not build a competing
road, which vii, cost two or three times
that sum.
The petition asking that the new road
he opened was on the right lire when the
petitioners signed It. but it now being in
the power OF the county commissioners TO
give the people a free road already built,
at one-third 60 one-half the cost of the
new road. it would evidently be waste
of money to carry out che new road pro-
ject. The best thing the county commits
siouers can do would be to accept the
offer Of tho owners of the Thunderbolt
shell road at once and do away with the
toll gate. II Is understood that no cash
is required; county notes are good enough
for the owners OF tho property Then
there would be nothing further heard
from the petition 10 build the new road,
unless IL was from the land company,
which is almost the sole beneficiary of the
proposed expenditure Of $4,000 to $4,000 OF
the taxes.

II would seem from the reports that
come from the Blaiock investigating COM
mittee that the chief feature Of the docU-
ment which the chairman of that body
win lay before the legislature viii relate
to board bills. Chairman Blalock appears
to have discovered innumerable discrep-
ancies IN the prices paid for board at the
different educational institutions in the
state, ali Of which puzzles him sorely, and
as KiDlins would say ne doesn't under
stand. Chairman Blalock has found out
.taat is costs the teachers VINO attend the
sessions Of the State Normal School dur
ing three months in the summer, about
s. a month for board, while the students
al the state University in the same city
pay all the way from sl2 10 IS. according
to their tastes. the students at the Girls
Normal and Industrial School at Mnledge-
vile pay Considerably more than 81 per
month. and the boys at the Technology
cal School in Atlanta are required to
pay the enormous sum Of 81 for room
and a months meals. These discrepan-
cies in board bills appear to have been
ore Of the most prominent If not most
important discoveries made by the Bla-
lock committee. Why the difference in
the price OF board in different towns or
in the same town under different condi-
tons, is more than per cent, is a thing
that Chairman Blalock cannot compre-
bend.
Chairman Blalock has evidently over
looked the fact that boarding is one, but
perhaps the only field in which co-opera-
ton can be made a success. Eggs and
chickens and butter do not grow on trees
for the benefit of the attendants
at the State Normal School any
more than they do anywhere else;
but the students there are
mostly from the country and they know
how to run their own boarding scheme.
living in the dormitory or in tents ana
requiring but little light and no fuel.
University students must depend on the
people of Athens who take boarders. for
their daily sustenance. and it is safe to
say that considering the preparation they
make and the expense summer and win
ter, they scarcely clear moro than fair
interest on their small investment, if
that The conditions at the Girls Normal
and Industrial College have not been full
ly set forth, but it is safe TO say that
the cost Of comfortable living there is
almost if not quite at a minimum. But
Chairman Blalocks discovery with regard
to Atlanta will be welcome news to hun
dreds OF clerks and stenographers and
bookkeepers in the Gate City, who will
no doubt Immediately endeavor to reduce
their living expenses by from 50 to $14 per
month. Board at 81 per month is per
haps something which the majority Of
them could never have conceived of in
their widest and most imaginary dreams.
Chairman Blalocl's discovery in Atlanta
will be boon to the members of the leg
islature. With this discovery, and a per
diem of 81, there is a chance for fortune
which can hardly be rivaled in Alaska's
Klondike.

According to a New York newspaper
the 100000 dry dock at the Brooklyn
navy yard is now being used as a swim
ming pool. for which purpose it serves
admirably. Since the great and costly
dly dock on Paris Island. near Port Roy
al, is too far from an aggregation of
population TO warrant its employment as
a public bath tub, the government will
expend at least one more effort to make
it available for it's original purpose. The
announcement is made chat the navy de-
partment will shortly let contract for
dredging a basin in front of the dock 1t
is proposed thai the basin shall be half
a mile long by 1,2o0 feet wide and thirty
feet deep. The understanding is that
the work is to be prosecuted vigorously,
in order that the dock may shortly ac-
commodate some of the big battleships,
now in need OF scraping
When the dock was finished there was
a depth of water to the sea approximate
ly equal to the depth upon its stills. but
ever since that time, according to the tes-
timony Of well informed seamen who
know the place. the water has been shoal-
ing. until lately the dock has been viz
tually bottled up. The million OF dollars
and more put into the dock has been not
only worthless, but costly, invest

Gus murder to demonstrate that there is
a way in which 10 dispose enectually Of
human body. a thing heretofore con
sdered practically impossible. since the
most scientific of murderers have been
unable to successfully obHterate the re-
mains Of their victims. The theory OF
the officials was that a wen-known Chi
cago sausage maker destroyed his muir
dered wife's remains by boiling them in
solution Of crude potash, but the de-
Tense disputed the statement that this
could be done. A successful test of the
operation was made. however with a ca
daver in the presence of the officials. and
within two hours the flesh and all the
bones. with the exception Of a few splint-
ers, had been liquehed, the fluid being
about the consistency Of molasses. The
prosecution holds that this experiment
makes out a case against the sausage
maker beyond doubt Even if it does
it seems doubtful whether it was a wise
thing to do. The good results of such a
discovery may be considered extremely
dubious.
