By the north against the south on this

some little detail of the Colorado affair,

In the Financial Soup.

The Dallas Texas Times-Herald re-
marks that she people in the south who
gamble ID cotton are now in the fnan-
cial soup for several million dollars,
unless they are able to margin up and
hold futures later than January. The
farme, who raised the cotton and is able
to hold it will not be hurt, as he will
get the high spring prices. It's easy
for eastern financial centers to shake
out the weak southern gamblers in
futures. This lost money in home in
dustry stocks and bonds would do bet.

a Good Road Law.

The Philadelphia Times has been
investigating the effects and defects
of the New Jersey good roads law and
that paper is so we'll pleased with its
operations and 80 we'll assured that it's
good effects outnunber its defects 1t
does not hesitate to advise the Legls-
lature of Pennsylvania to adopt the
New Jersey Law. As We gather from
the Times the Legislature Of New
Jersey passed a permanent road Law
which went into etfsot in 1898. The
law permitted the State to aid in the
building Of limited mileage Of per-
manent roads each year the State to
pay one-third and the county and the
municipality in which the road should
be located two-thirds. The cost Of con-
structing such roads per mile has va
ried from 81, 900 to IS, 384, the cost for
1900.
The total number of miles Of stone
and gravel roads constructed since the
law went into effect is 598, the in
crease for the past year being l48 miles.
The total State outlay for the entire
periods wa. $3.50, 1000. The cost to the
localities has been twice that amount.
The local communities are 50 we'll
pleased With the operation Of the law
that demand for State aid always out
runs the appropriations made BY the
Legislature for this purpose. In other
words, there are more communities
willing to spend two dollars for per
manent roads in order to get the adam
tages of good roads at reduced cost than
were expected. This plan to get good
roads is most admirable one, it seems
to US, and we believe it would work
we'll in South Carolina. 1t would be
we'll for the Legislature to enveslgate
this law with a view of adapting it or
similar one.
