>sFfexion- Marching.
National Guardsmen and military men
generally ale interested In the ''iexion'
marching lately introduced into the French
army, for which extraordinary results are
claimed. The purpose of the new method.
so it is said, is to secure a maximum of
speed with a minimum of expenditure of
physical energy. The old style of marching,
head erect, chest out, stomach in" &c, is
condemned by the advocates of the new
method as uuscientific. On the hexion sys-
tenn, as tested in France, an average FIVE
and one-half miles an hour has been OBJ
tanned with little or no training. and it is
stated that with thoroughly trained men
in light marching order an average speed
Of four and one-half miles an hour may be
counted on for several consecutive hours,
on any ground and across all obstacles"
The fexion march is described as really q
run, and somewhat resembles marching "at
the double" The trunk of the body is in
clined web forward. which necessitates the
prompt advance of the leg TO keep 1t from
falling, whiic with bent knee, the whole
foot falling fat on the ground as the adj
vanced foot of the fencer, produces less
shock and jar. Among some tests made of
the new style was the experience of two
officers, two sergeants and thirty rank and
file OF the 116th Regiment of the French

HIGHWAYS TO WEALTH.

Farmers Prosperous In Communities Hav-
ing Good Roads. .
Good roads are the highways to
wealth. If I.could take you with me
north, south, east and west, to where
the beginnings of road improvement
have been made, I could show you small
farming communities growing rich in
these hard times, contented and happy,
and troubling themselves not at all with
the great problems Of finance which agi-
tate their brethren. They have no time
to waste in talk. If their fields are too
wet to work, they 90 on the road. Their
marketing is done in bad weather, and
in rainy spells they bring from adistanoe
cheap fertilizers to enrich their farms,
such as mari, city refuse, etc. Phila-
delphia refuse is carried 20 miles on the
stone roads.
In these fortunate communities every
day brings, its earnings to man and
beast, for there is always paying work
on a good road, and if man has no
hauling Of his own to do he can get
work from others, and good wages. Ex.
tend these conditions and imagine, II
you can, the prosperity that would burst
upon the country if every farmer and
every farm team could earn fair days
wages for every day in the year, rain
or shine; if every farm could be Guilt
vated and improved to its utmost ex'
tent.-Address by General Roy Stone.

ROADS MEAN ADVANCEMENT.
Ease of Communication Marks the Prog
ress Of Civilization.

Ease of Communication Marks the Prog.
ress Of Civilization.
The movement in behalf of good roads
in this and other states and the obsta-
cles it is called upon to overcome are
strongly suggestive Of the readiness
with which we are apt to accept the
greatest facilities in communication as
matter of course-if indeed we do not
quickly come to regard their usefulness
with Indifference, says the New York
Mail and Express. Too many men are
controlled by single idea. They aban.
don intorest in highways because they
have canals, or they ABANDON interest III
canals because of railway development,
and some day they will vote railways
nuisance because Of a perfected flying
machine. They fail to appreciate the
value Of maintaining the best in any
and every form of human communica-
tion that is worth maintaining at all.
Upon the perfection of every means
Of communication and transportation
rests our progress toward higher civili-
zation and social development. As bar
barism is invariably characterized by a
lack Of adequate facilities for travel
and commercial intercourse, so the
highest civilization is marked by the
greatest advancement III every phase OF
these. When the Roman empire was at
the height of it's grandeur, it was dis
tinguished for its roads, which all led
to Rome. .... ......
In strong contrast with this early civ
ilization was the comparative barbarism
of the middle ages, when the feudal
barons perohed their castles upon inac-
cessible heights, when nroads and bridges
were almost unknown, when wheeled
vehicles were generally tabooed, when
social and mental progress were stag
nant and all commerce and reciprocal
activity were halted. To the friction OF
ready intercourse all progress is due. As
steam and electricity make neighbor-
hood of nation, so improved highways
the first evidences of civilization, be-
cause the earliest demonstration OF
mans desire for easy intercourse with
his neighbor-will ever remain the test
of progress in the separate communities
that go to make up the state.
A generation hence the town or county
which has not the most improved high
ways known to science will be the town
or county where the moral and mental
standard is lowest. The sign will be
unerring.

LOWNDESVILLE BANK CASE.
An Important Decision by Master
walter L. Miller, Which Was sus'
tanned by the Supreme Court-Hon.

Some final orders were taken last week in
the Lowndesville bank case. This case was
first heard by Walter Z. Miller, Master, in the
Summer of 1897. The Master decided In favor
OF the double liability Of stockholders OF q
bank organized previous TO the Constitution
OF 1885, and his opinion was afterwards sus-
tanned both by the Circuit Judge and the
Supreme Court. The question was an exceed
ly important one, and one which had never
been before our courts. II had been decided
ly differently by the courts OF other states.
The principle was an important one and ex.
cited interest all over the country, not only
among lawyers and bankers, but among the
people generally. 1t was hotly contested at
every step. The following firms were engaged
In It.: Messrs. Graydon & Graydon, Parker &
MCGOWAN, L. w. Perrin, DeBruhl & Lyon
Bonham & Watkins, Prince & Tribble, ]. w.
Quattlebuam, J. n. Brown, and Buist & Buist.
This was an exceedingly able array OF legel
talent. The importance Of the case and the
large amount involved. called for the ablest
counsel. 1t was managed we'll by all the at
torneys engaged In 1t. We do not think, how
ever, that IL Is invidious to make special mem
tion Of the part which Hon. w. II. Parker
took in 1t. He was both plaintiff and one OF
PLAINTIFF counsel. He spent q great deal OF
labor upon the case. He made an able argu-
ment, not only before the Master and Circuit
Judge, but also before the Supreme Court. 1t
is understood that some members Of the Su-
preme Court have spoken very highly Of his
argument before then.
Best Of all, he won his case, which is
far-reaching In its bearings and which may
give cause for other stockholders to quake In
their boots.

CALIFORNIA; Wide Tire Law.

California's new tire law requires
that tires should be from three to six
inches wide, according to size of axle
or carrying capacity. Wagons with
smaller tires may not be sold or used
within the state after Jan. /, 1900.
Narrow tires are the most destructive
influences that are at work upon the
roads. A broad tire, made in proportion
to the load to be carried, may leave q
road better for its passage, where mar
row tire cuts it into ruts. 1t twould have
been a further improvement had the
legislature ordered that the hind wheels
should run inside the track Of the front
wheels Of the wagon. Where wheels
trail each other in the same track the
tendency to cut ruts is much greater. If
the wheels were set in different lengths
Of axle, six inch tires would give the
effect of a one foot roller on each side
Of the wagon.

The ultimate object of every prayer
meeting is to promote communion
with Christ. The result of every
prayer meeting should be nearness to
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ laughed not his disciples to
fight with a sword of iron. AS Christ
was the meekest of men, so he was the
most drawn from the world. The cap,
tain of our battle is Christ, both God
and man.
The Lord Ioveth the cheerful givel
and the cheerful giver is sure to be ths
most liberal one. Be assured that ths
one who lays his offering down witt
doleful countenance has given in
niggardly measure.
Never give the tongue its full liber
ty, but always keep it under control.

FARMERS AND GOOD ROADS.
The Value of Farm Land Is Determined
hy Ita Accessibility.

The Value of Farm Land Is Determined
by Its Accessibility.
The farmers would be more benefited
BY good roads than any other class. The
value Of farm is determined by its ac-
feasibility. The land that is favored
with best transportation facilities,
whether by rail or river, will bring the
best price per acre when put upon the
market. There is no doubt that one mile
of good macadamized road is more val
liable in this country than five miles OF
plow and scraper road that goes to pieces
in one year.
The turning over Of soil is labor in
vain, and we do not censure the farmer
when ordered to work on the roads
when he either takes pitchfork or a
hoe or, if he is rheumatic, mattress.
One mile of good roads made each year
would be more beneficial than all the
work done in township. In the neal
future there will be some device found
that will enable our farmers to make
good roads at a small cost. jamestown
