FOR GOOD ROADS.

Mississippi, in common will
most other southern states, il
trying to solve the problem Of
good roads. Many and various
have been the plans proposed.
Several counties OF the Estate have
adopted the contract system. that
is, letting out the work to the lowest
and best bidders. This spirit is %
yet in its experimental stage, never
theless any official utterance on the
subject will prove interesting. Mr..
w. F. Parson, president Of the
board Of supervisors OF Lincoln
county, where the contract sytem is
in vogue, says it is a decided sue
cess. In card:prinsed in the Crys-
tsl Springs Meteor he says:
tOur contracts for working the
roads will not expire until Sept. l,
1901, and all first class aud most OF
the second class roads are being
worked, and thoroughly worked by
contract. Instead of wishing to
abandon the system, there is an eff
fort being made to have every pub
lie road in the county worked by
contract, as being the cheapest and
far the best Of any methed yet prac-
ticed in this county. We believe
VS. can boast Of as good roads as
there are in the state. and far bet
Ter than 90 per cent OF those worked
under the old system. I anticipate
that by the expiration Of the term
OF the present contracts the roads
of this county will be equal to the
best unpaved streets Of our cities
and towns"

FOR WINTER QUARTERS.
All the Troops viii be Kept in the Mid
die Southern States.

WASHINGTON. October 3.-The fol-
lowing statement was given out at the
War Department to-day:
1.-THE Secretary OF War being questioned
as TO quartering OF troops during the
winter has had the matter under careful
consideration and has decided for the
good of the service and the welfare OF
the men that they should be in open
camps-in climate which IN the winter
they can drill and have the open air.
To put the troops in buildings in large
cities in the North would In measure
deprive them of the necessary drill disci-
pline and target practice necessary for
fitting soldiers for active service IN the
field Moreover. the discipline of the
troops can be maintained very much bet
ter and more enectually than near large
cities The troops, therefore will be
quartered in the Middle Southern States,
where they can live in tents. as pro-
vided by the plan of the Quariermaster
General. which gives stores TO each three
tents Joined together two sleeping
rooms and one sitting room.
"The Secretary of War directed board
Of experienced army officers 10 visit the
different sites for the purpose of select
ing these camps. and he has left that TO
their judgment. which. however, meets
with his full approval
