Interesting Incidents In Distnsuishet

other country boy he felt ashamed oil

thought Of them made him 80 uneasy
that he soon ran into debt with the
most fashionable taller OF the place.
The senior year in college began, but
the tailor had not been paid. Doctor
Seward would not settle what he re-
sarded as an unnecessary account, and
his son could not pay the debt while
remaining a student on a slender al
iowance. The incident became so dis
agreeable that young Seward determin-
ed to make himself financially indepen-
dent. On the first day Of 1919 he start
ed secretly for Georgia. hoping to Sc
cure position as teacher of an acad-
envy. By the time he was within 60
or forty miles of the end of his journey
his purse was almost empty and he
was compelled to proceed afoot Hia

young stranger received hearty well

Seward, in later life. where was l to

his application had been accepted, and
that his salary as head of the academy
would be eight hundred dollars a year.
Seward gladly accepted. Proud of his
appointment, he sent his father news

It, DR.. Seward few into passion,
wrote to the trustees, telling them that
his son had abscoaded from college
without cause, bringing disgrace and
sorrow upon his too indulgent parents,
and that all who harbored him would

law. This frightened no one, and it
did not cause the very independent

obtained permission to resign on con-

Conxicts and Gond Roads.

The agitation of the League of
American Wheelmen to have convicts
used in building public roads e slow
ly making Roadway. On this subject
the New Ycak Post recently contained
the following:
''Thc League for Good Roads, in Onei-
da County, reports favorably on the
experiment of employing oonvicts on
road-making. Under the direction of
the Board of Supervisors and the SUI
perintendence of a trained engineer.
the county prisoners have constructed
a macadam road, one and three-tenths
miles long, through the village of New
York Mills, near Utica. The county
authorities made a contract with the
road district, whereby it was to fur
nish laborers at twenty-five cents a
day, and allow the use Of its stone
crusher, steam-roller, ETC.. free of
charge. The road district furnished
the necessary fuel and material. and
paid for supervision. The cost of the
road was about $3.50, or $4,000 mile,
and the total cost was only three times
the amount of the annual road tax.
AS 1t will cost only $3.50 year to
keep the new road in repair, the an
nual saving will amount to about
$3.50. and after the cost has been re-
paid the taxpayers will be believed
to this extent, or the money can be
devoted to other improvements. While
this road was building the State au-
thorities were constructing similar
one of equal length, which was to
cost, at the contract price, 10000"
