The Department Of Agriculture re-
cOmmends rs substitute for macadam
and ebert roads, what are known as
steel plate roads, costing about $500
per mile. They simply provide solid
bed for the tires, being constructed by
laying two eight inch flanged rails or
plates ut parallel to accommodate
standard gauge vehicles. Tho claim is
made for such roads that tho cost of
repairs is very slight, the plates being
very Durable and that the draft is so
light. Still they are the acknowledged
inferior to macadam in many respects,
and since Il tirst-class ten foot maca-
dam road can be built for less than
$4,000, we fail to see the advantage Of
the steel plate roadway.

That populistic element of the party
was the Jonah in the boat. To con-

his monumental backbone protruling
throughout the entire article, SO that it

The interesting information is given
out that, in taking the twelfth census,
the amount Of the present cotton crop
is to be ascertained from the ginneries
and baling establishments. Certainly
no better means of securing an abso-
lutely correct estimate could be devils
ed. The proposition is in line with n
recommendation made by this paper
several months ago in reference to
keeping track of the crop. We feel
that this experiment will prove so sat
jsfactory in its results that it will be
adopted as a permanent plan and that
by State legislation. The plan will
doubtless include provision for iden-
tifying each individual bale Of cotton
by plain stencil marks and detailed
records. such records to be open for
public inspection as at present, and a
monthly transcript of same to be filed
with the Clerk of Court. This will
lessen the risk from stealing and be u
perfect check upon lien cotton and
insure it's proper delivery. If the next
Legislature has backbone enough Il
law of this kind will be ena ctcd.
