Prnrr..s In New Ieraex.

Governor Foster M Voorhees,, Of
New Jersey, is his recent message to
his States Legislature, has this state
ment to make in regard to the pro-
gress of good roads in the State:
zone Of the largest items Of expendi-
ture was tnat in aid of State roads
Annually $150,000 are spent on this ac.
count The money so used insures
comfort in travel and an ease Of com
munication in marked contrast to that
which prevailed at the commencement
of the century. Few States have shown
equal progress in this respect. The
example shown by New Jersey has
encouraged a movement for better
roads throughout the Union, and its
plan is being widely followed. The
State first loaned its aid in 1892, and
its contributions amount to $685., ,31S55.
With the help so given there have been
built 500 miles of roads. In the year
Just closed 1920 miles were built, and
6499 miles were in process Of con.
struction or under contract for build
ing. Application has been made for
aid in the construction Of 1876 addition.

women street Car Conductors.

The charming black-eyed women OF
South America are working as street
car conductors. The new woman Is
there with a vengeance.
Heretofore we barbarians OF the
North dreamed Of the beautiful seno-
rltas Of our sister republics in the far
South only as wonderfully fascinating
creatures hiding behind veil and lat
tice3 work. The realism OF the age,
the tendency to give to woman what
ever share she aspires to in the busi-
ness world seems to have worked
greater havoc in South America than
even here. In Valparaiso, the capital
Of Chile, nearly all the street car con-
ductors are now Of the female sex.

factory one. The men are too gallant
to be dlsagreeabe, and the women pas

De.th Alds GOOD Road Cause.

The recent death of Miss Rebecca
Woolsey makes available the sum Of
S5S,OOO for the use of the County Com
missiOners of Hartford County, Mary
land, for the purpose of matchmaking
certain public roads The sum was lefr
by William Woolsey in 1888, subject to
the life estate Of his sister. There
were originally six members of the
family, none OF, whom ever married,
and each in turn left to his survivor
his estate. BY the death of Miss Wool
sey the family becomes extinct.
According to the provisions of the
will of Mr.. Woolsey the Commission
ers must appropriate a sum equal to
the $4,000 left by him, and must use
the same in certain amounts on GER
tain roads, and within a specified time,
It is probable that 1t will be accepted,
and in that event the roads of Har-
ford County will be improved to the
amount Of $1lG,900 within the next
FIVE years.
Should the county not accept it, the
sum is TO go in equal amounts to the
County School Commissioners for the
improvement Of the public schools ana
to the Trustees Of the Churchville

There has been a Spasmodic effort

years to arouse interest in this impor.
tant matter and to induce concert Of
action throughout the State. Eut so
far the progress of the good ROADS
movement has hecn slow and diScour.
aging. In fact, not more than 4 dozen
counties in Georgia have given the
subject any very serious considera tiOr,
and few, il any, Of these have adopted
Il truly modern system OF permanent
public highways. Fulton. Richmond,
Cbathum. Floyd and a few others have
build macadam or. gravel roads, but
probably not one has gone about this
important public work Systematically
and scientifically.
But even if they had their efforts
would be neutralized in measure
through lack of cooperation on the
part of adjoining counties; for to make
a system of modern public highways
effective they should continue GOm
county to county, reducing distances
and putting one community in close
touch with another, without regard 10
county lines.
Such a system of public roads as
those of New Jersey or North Caro-
lima would be worth more to Georgia
than the building of a dozen new lines
of railroads. They put the remotest

with more ease, they reduce the time
and expense of going to and from
market; they pay for themselves in the
saving in wear and tear Of vehicles
and stock alone, they put neighbor in
touch with neighbor and build up rur-
al communities.
With the dawn of the twentieth cen
tury may it not be hoped that Georgia
will arouse herself TO the importance
of this matter? She could well afford
to start the movement with a leglsla-
tive appropriation of million or more

the truth is lie or lie the truth, ac-

The men, especially those Of the
lower class, are apt to be idle and lazy
and to lounge around the house while
the women work. The women and
children have the privilege of doing
their own farming, begging, stealing
and vending. They are happy, con
tented and hungry when they have no
money, and they are as hungry, happy
and contented when they have money.
In fact, they never have money. II

one day. If they get fifty cents a day,
they will work two days. Contact

cupidity, but has not stimulated their

two were formerly. The American oc-

that Schley condensed them in letter
written to Senator Hale, Chairman Of
the Committee on Naval Affairs. This
letter divided the criticism against him

the alleged delay off Cienfuegos, Cuba
Second, the alleged slow progress to-
