WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.
The Agitation to De Continued with
Increased Ardor.

Now that the League OF American
partmcnt every attention viii ne Given
the other bra aches Of work. The most
important Of these Is the highway i'm
provcmcnt department., to which Is in
trusted the work in behalf Of the .ood
roads movement
The league has made rapid strides in
this movement, particularly during the
past year. but the racing question has
reflected upon this as upon all other
departments, the belief being dissem-
mated that none of the branches Of
league work could be made effective
until the racing question was settled.
The MOST important work accom-
plished last year was the holding of
many good roads conventions in vari-
Gus states. the Introduction of highway
Improvement measures in many of the
state legislatures and the evolution Of
the movement to national proportions,
as was evidenced by the bill intro
duccd in congress calling for an appro-
priation of $5,000,O00.
Constitutional amendments were car
ricd In Michigan and Minnesota. and q
large amount Of education on the sub
jcct was circulated by the league. All
of this work will be continued during
the present year, but upon much
larger scale than heretofore. I'm fact
this will be one Of the most important
ng!tatlons OF the year aside from the
nrpsilential elections.

Baltimore. Md, July 19.-Interest in

that of all the nations concerned in

most in the outcome. Ever since the
gradual revelation of designs on the
part of other nations for territorial ag-
%randizercnt in China the official rep
rescntatives of the United States have
persistcntly insisted that the sole in
tcreSt of this country in China was tho
maintenance of equal opportunities for

PHOSPHATE FIELD,
For the past week there has been an

were shipped, of which 400 were for
export. Since the close OF the rainy
season the larger companies. rs well
as the smaller miners, have resumed
operations. and much rock is being
mined and shipped. Hundreds of
workmen are pushing 10 completion to
the eastern limits of the fields the Mt.
Pleasant Southern railroad and the
Louisville and Nashville railroad is
planning for improvements at Mt.

of phosphate lands have recently been
made. John Rum, Jr.. has purchased
a 500 tract; the Central Phosphate
Company has purchased a 10000 one.
and an option on GOO acres has been
filed at Columbia TO the Tennessee
