AID TO AGRICULTURE.
Benefits That Good Roads May Bring

Benefits That Good Roads May Bring
to the Farmers.
In welcoming the Mississippi good
roads convention to Vicksburg, Mayor
Trowbridge said in part:
''The proposition of good roads Is q
self evident proposition, and is one that
is being taught, and we know how ex-
pensively taught by past experience.
shall not attempt to enter into the Ques-
tion of how to acquire them, for there
are gentlemen on this floor who have
made a thorough study of that ques-
ton. and we shall look to them for in
Ject. We can only promise them that
their information shall not be lost, but
being guided by the experience of the
more advanced brethren of the western
states, we shall endeavor to have our
legislature frame such laws that will
conduce to good roads.
ut does not require the foresight of
n prophet to tell that the question of
good roads Is one that will engage the
politics of the counties of the state, and
be even of national Importance, for
that question which affects the wei.
fare, the comfort the happiness, the
prosperity Of its people is one worthy
of engaging the attention of members
of the national congress.
Il beg pardon of the members of this
convention for a DEPRESSION, but there
Is a matter very closely allied to the
question of good roads and one Of such
Importance that l cannot refrain from
touching on the subject. and that is one
OF scientific farming and the formation
Of farmers alliance throughout the
southern states. Again. can we take
advantage of the experience of our
western brethren in the formation of
these helpful societies or clubs that
have done so much for their advance
ment and prosperltyi
with the good roads and prosperity
on the farm that will surely come from
the formation OF farmers institutes
will so surely come the pride of the
farmer In his farm. his house. his barn,
his stock, his surroundings. 1t will
then be no unusual sight to witness the
visit Of our country friends to our
churches on Sunday. Then will the
young beau harness up that young
horse that he has taken so much pride
in raising and, going after his best
girl. will drive her on a visit to some
neighbor or, perchance. to ball or
theater in the city. returning home at a
rattling pace over the good roads"

GOOD ROADS AND BAD.
bureau of Road Inquiry Moving In
Right Direction.


The recent automobile race from
Paris to Berlin attracted international
attention because Of the keen interest
which Is just now taken In the me-
chanlcal vehicle, says the Washington
Star. While Europeans were chiefly
concerned In the performance OF the
distinctive types Of machines, Ameri-
cans could not avoid the thought that
such n race is virtually impossible In
this country under conditions promis-
ing any fair test of quality. There are
10 such roads here as those which In
Europe permit intercity autonobiling
and wheeling.
. Our highways, save for short dis
tances outside the larger cities, are dis
gracefully rough and uDkept. Much
has been done In the past few. years to
awaken the people to a sense Of this
condition, and the movement has been
greatly accelerated by the wide popu-
larity which the bicycle and the auto
mobile have gained. 1t Is to be hoped
that the race will so stimulate the pride
of the American steam and electric ma
chine owners that dozen years hence
1t will be possible to organize 1000
mile race out of any one Of a score Of
scattered cities under ideal road con-
ditions.
1t is a noteworthy fact that until very
recently nothing has been done In this
country to collect and study road sta
tistIcs. The good roads division of the
department of agriculture, which has
been doing excellent work for several
seasons, has lately undertaken to
remedy this defect and is now engaged
In gathering data as to the character
and number of vehicles which use GER
tain roads.
1t is hoped that in this manner 1t may
be possible to demonstrate by figures
the extent to which the highways are
used by various classes. This will per-
NIT the study on an accurate basis of
the wearing qualities of different road
materials under varying conditions.
The institution of this inquiry leads to
the hope that by thus systematically
approaching the subject the govern
ment's bureau may eventually arouse
the interest of state legislatures to the
point of the enactment OF uniform
highway laws. 1t is only by concerted
action in this manner and by the adop-
ton of even standards of excellence In
all the states that roads will be pro
duced which will compare favorably
with those of Europe.

The Mckinley Estate.

The value of the estate of the
late president, inclusive of every
thing he owned and the insuran
policy upon his life, is believed to
be about 100000.
When Mr.. Mckinley was elect
ed for the first time he had just
lost practically every cent he
possessed by indorsiug notes for
Ohio friends. He was a generous
man, caring little for money. He
stepped into the White House f.
nancially wrecked, not merely
having lost all his money, but
heavily in debt and with notes
against him.
His friends, prominent among
whom were Mark Hanna and II.
H. Kohlsaat, went to his rescue.
They took up his paper and put
him on his feet
the president was frugal and
lived plainly at the White House.
He saved good part of his salary
of nearly II, 900 a week, and de-
voted it to repayingEthe friends
who had come to him in the hour
of need. Eventually he paid back
every penny advanced on his be-
half, sum total of about 100000.
One of Mr.. McKinley's closest
personal friends said today that
the Canton house was worth $12,- =
600 and the farm $4,000, and
that, with securities and cash Of
800, ,000and insurance of$ 300, 900,
the estate would be worth a time
more than 5000, 900.
The late president left will,
the bulk of the estate going to the
widow.

The Presidents Identity.

What a President carries in his
pockets is much like what any
other citizen does. The Presi.
dents clothes which were remov-
ed at the Exposition Hospital
have been sent to the Milburn
residence, where the pockets were
emptied. In the right-hand
trousers pocket was some cur.
rency, $1.S0 in all. With these
coins was small silver nugget,
well worn as if the President had
carried it for a long time. Three
small penknives, pearl handled,
were in the pockets of his trous-
ers. Evidently they were gifts
that he priced, and was in the
habit of carrying all three of
them. They were simple knives,
with no silver ornamentations, in
scriptions, initials or other visi-
BILE personal history. Another
battered coin, presumably a
pocket piece, was in the left-hand
pocket.
The Presidents wallet is well
worn black leather one, about A
by ) inches in size. 1t was not
marked with his name or other
Identification. In this wallet were
some bills, amounting to $45. A
number of cards, which evidently
had rested in the wallet for some
time, were in one of the compart-
ments. These were examined.
In a vest pocket was silver lead
pencil. Three cigars were found.
They were not the black Perfec-
tos which the President likes, but
short size, and were recognized
as some that had been given to
him at Niagara Falls.
On two of them he had chewed,
much as General Grant used a
cigar; the other he had not touch
ed. The Presidents watch was
an openfaced, gold case, Ameri-
can made timekeeper. Attached
to it was the gold chain the Pres
ident always wore. No letters,
kilograms, or papers were found.
There was not on the Presidents
person a single clew to his iden-
tity.

Stood Death Of.

e. B. Munday, lawyer of Hen
rietta, Tex, once fooled a grave
digger. He says "My brother
was very low with malariaI fever
and jaundice. l persuaded him
to try Electric Bitters, and he
was soon much better, but con-
tinued their use until he was
wholly cured. lam sure Electric
Bitters saved his life" This
remedy expels malaria, kills dis
ease germs and purifies the blood;
aids digestion, regulates liver,
kidneys and bowels, cure consti-
patton, dyspepsia, nervous dis
eases, kidney troubles, female
complaints; gives perfect health.

garding "vivia Perpetua" as the
fruit of their joint aspirations and
studies, she dedictates 1t to her
sister in lines in which occur the
following tender sentiment:
In Thy content I wish a wreath more
bright
Than earth's wide garden ever could
supply;
All, me. l think me still how poor a
strain,
And fly for refuge to Thy love again.
Her sisters health, beginning
to decline, and evidence of pulmo-
nary consumption appearing,
Mrs. Adams devoted herself to
the invalid's s room with unceasing
watchfulness and self-forgetful
care. Eliza Flower died in 1S47.
Mrs. Adams never recovered
from the shock of the separation.
Her religious aspirations, always
strong, seemed now to receive a
heavenly impulse. Her health
gradually declined, and in 1S49,
two years after her sisters death
she too peacefully fell asleep.
In her hymn she gives express
sion to the following jubilant ex-
pectation;
Or, if on joyful wing,
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon and stars forgot,
Upward fly.
Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
This hope seems to have been
almost literally fulfilled in her
death. We are told that "almost
her last breath burst into uncon-
scious song"
The following hymn, by Mrs.
Adams, seems to have been writ
ten in the same spirit as "Nearer,
My God, to thee" 1t was sung
at her funeral:
He sendeth sun. He sendeth showers,
Alike they're needful to the flowers;
And joys and tears alike are sent
To give the soul fit nourishment;
AS comes to me or cloud or sun,
Father, Thy will, not mine, be done.
Oh never will | at life repine,
Enough that Thou hast made it mine:
Where falls the shadow cold. in death
yet will sing with fearless breath,
AS comes to me or shade or sun,
Father, Thy will, not mine, be done.
The last stanza seems proph-
etc, when we recall the song of
praise that trembled on her dy-
ing lips.
The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1901-09-26

reached 10 heaven; ana DeDOlQ Une
angels of God ascending and de-
scending on it,"
The hymn almost literally re-
produces this delightful passage:
Though like wanderer,
The sun gone down.
Darkness be over me,
My rest "a stone,
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to Thee.
The Scriptural account of the
awakening of Jacob on the morn
ing after the vision is as wildly
brought to mind in the figures in
the fourth stanza:
Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with thy praise;
Out of my stony grief
Bethel I'll raise:
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer to Thee.
Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, au-
thor of the hymn, was a daughter
of Benjamin Flower, an English
writer and editor. She was born
in 1905. Her mother, a woman
of culture, died early in life.
There were two daughters, Sarah
and Eliza. The strongest attach
ment existed between them. Both
possessed the fine feelings of
their mother, and were fond of
books, music, poetry and art.
Their aesthetic tastes ruled
even in childhood, and girlhood to
them was a growing season of as
piration and expectancy. Eliza
turned her attention to music and
musical composition, and her sis
ter to religious poetry. They
were Unitarian in their church
relations, but their piety was gau-
ged by devotional feelings and
high religious attainments, rather
than by denominational require
ments or Sectarian views.
"Eliza Flower" says a critic,
attained a higher rank in music
composition than before her time
had been reached by any of her
SEX" Sarah Flower made the
composition of poetry her occupa-
ton, while her sister pursued her
musical studies. In 1884 she
married William Bridges Adams,
an eminent engineer and a con
tributor to the best periodical lit.
erature.
In 1841 she published a dram
aJic poem IN hVe acts, entitled
"Vivia Perpetua," in which she
portrays the religious life, suffer
ings, strong faith and endurance
of the early martyrs.
The hymn, Nearer, My God,
to Thee, was a record of her own
religious experience, and was
written as memorial of answered
prayer, probably without any ex-
pectation that it would be of pub
lie service. 1t was furnished
with thirteen other hyms to Char
lesFox' scollectionpf Hymns and
Anthems" published in London
in 1841.
The cares of married life in no
wise abated her early attachmet
to her equally gifted sister. Re
