The Good Roads Movement.

The first annual report of the Maryland
Commission has attracted considerable at
tention throughout the country. Comment
ing upon It tho New York Sun says
sThs report Of the Maryland Geological
Survey for 1899 announces that the people OF
that State have expended over 80 900 600 In
the last 10 years on their common roads;
most Of the money has been wasted In con-
tinual repairing. Many of the roads have no
natural drainage. They are bad roads part
or all of the time. The survey has made a
careful estimate showing that 1t costs the
people of Maryland s., 600 900 year more to
do their hauling over poor highways than it
would cost II they were turned into first
class roads,
"This estimate supplements the informs
ton collected by the Department Of Agricul-
ture in 1895, when 1t received data from over
l 200 counties from all over the country and
found that the average cost Of hauling q ton
load one mile was 25 cents, while the average
cost in six European countries that possess
improved highways was almost exactly one
third as much. More than one factor enters
|
why our farmers pay three times as nuchlper
mile as European farmers pay Is that they
can haul, on an average, only one ton ovel
| poor dirt roads, while the European farmer
heuls from three to four tons at load over
| fine highways.
| Maryland has gone about the work Of road
Improvement in way that promises excel
| lent results The State has recognized thu
\ fact that geological considerations are mos
| important factor in good road-making. II
1898 the General Assembly passed bill fol
the annual expenditure of $4,000 by th'
| Geological Survey in the investigation O.
road construction in the State. The fire
published result is this comprehensive repor
Of the distribution of the rock material USED
for good road making, on the failure OF tn,
improved roads to meet the needs Of modern
traffic, chiefly owing to the fact that the!
were built without competent engineering
supervision aud without care as to grades ant
drainage, and on many other practical mat
tiers. The report will help to place road I'm
provement in Maryland on an intelligen
basis. It should likewise promote the caus
of good roads throughout the country"

A Rich MANS Project.

4 rich mans statement that he intends TO
devote almost his entire fortune TO charitable
works has aroused much discussion. This is
because it will accomplish much good. 1t is q
praiseworthy endeavor, bat there are many
other agencies which accomplish just as much
good. Take Hestettsr's Stomach Bitters for
instance-the great American remedy. Fer
fifty years it has cured constipation, i dyspepsia
and all the ills which arise from weak digestion.
This medicine will keep the stomach in good
shape and the bowels regular. 1t is a wonder
full restorative tonic and health builder. 1t is
also preventive for malaria. fever and aqua.
Ask for 1t, and insist upon having it. See
