Governor Harrison, in speaking Of
the prosperous condition OF affairs In
his county, referred with pride to the
GOOD roads movement in Lowndes.
This county seems to have hit upon q
plan to successfully solve the good
roads problem. The system adopted
by the board Of supervisors Of
Lowndes county is to make the peo-
pie using road put it in order and
maintain it. Each road is practically
made taxing district. All of the
property owners residing on 1t or
who use it as thoroughfare are
taxed for the purpose of putting the
road In order Tho Lowndes county
board has found that 8-mill levy for
this purpose is sufficient, and, accord
ing to Governor Harrison, the county
now has beautiful system Of roads.
The material used is gravel, taken
for the most part from the beds OF
the county rivers. This gravel is OF
the concrete variety. Governor HAIR
rison mentioned particularly the
work which has been done on what 10
known as the old Military road. "
This is the road that was cut through
the country by General jackson on
his march to New Orleans. The road
runs directly through the city OF o.
lumbus. 1t is now the governor
says, perfect boulevard.

When Rudyard Kipling was in
South Africa last winter some ad-
mirer sent him a little lion cub. At
first the famous poet and author did
not know just what to do with the
"baby." Then he decided that a
bottle would be the proper thing, so
a bottle was procured, ard on it the
lion thrived nightly. Now Mr..
kipling has written his experiences
in bringing up" this "baby," and
they will soon be printed in The
Ladies' Home Journal, illustrated
with photographs taken by the
author himself.

A reader asks: "Dces supply
and demand govern prices?" No.
The supply OF coal is unlimited and
the demand limited, then the price
should be nothing but the labor
cost. Is it? Rockefeller governs

erns the price Of sugar; nearly all
the necessities Of life are 20 verned bv

other had a large package Of ban.
dages. There you have an urgent
dem nd and an unlimited supply
for the needs. Suppose the owner
of the bandages for which be had
paid few cents should demand Of
the wounded man 1000 in gold
which he was carrying for enough
bandages to stop the flow Of blood.
Would you call that supply and de-
mand governing the price? Well,
hardly, but III lesser degree of ex
tortion are all prices governed. Price
is regulated by the power or condi-
ton OF the pcssessor to prevent bis
victim eating the article elsewhere,
and the necessity Of the purchaser
to have it and his ability to pay.
The price Of food in the Klondyke
was regulated by the men who had
it and knew the other fellows must
have it before they could get it else
where. And yet the price Of food
made the amount available neither
greater OF smaller. "Supply and

I An Atchison woman who il /:
member OF very large family, tell.
this story, which she says is the
favorite family anecdote: Her
mother once teok a railroad journey
Of cix miles with six children, the
oldest Of which was not II years
old, so that the mothers fare, which
amounted to less than 20 cents,
was the only one paid. The sta
tons where they got on and off
were flag stations. 1t required the
assistance Of the conductor, the
brakeman and the porters to get the
woman and her six babies on and
off TIE train, and it was even sug.
gested that the engineer be called
from his cab to help. When they
were all safely landed on the plat
form at the station where got off,
and after the mother had called the
roll and was sure that none had
been left behind, she turned to the
conductor and said: "Well, H
guess I'm even with the railroad
at last. ."--Atchison Globe.

COMMUNICATIONS

To the Editor of The Spy:
Will you kindly allow me space in
your paper to call attention to the great
inconvenience and dangerous exposure
to which the patrons of the Worcester
Consolidated Street Railway are now
subjected Harrington Corner is al
ways a busy place, and more transfers
from one line of street railways to an
other line are made there than all
others combined. The total number of
persons taking the electrics at that
point every day, must be well up into
the hundreds if not thousands. For
those taking the city lines there is
often a wait of four, five to eight min
utes, while for those waiting for the SUI
burban lines, the wait must often be
nearly, and often half an hour. I'm
fortunately these cars are very often
not on time, and the patron arriving
five minutes ahead of time is liable
to find his car 20 or % minutes late.
This Is a very common eXpcI
all the suburban lines. There are hun
dreds of people so waiting every day.
What shall they do? Where shall they
go? Storekeepers don't want them
blockading the entrances to the stores.
The sidewalks are oVercrowded. But
there they must stand, exposed to the
pelting rain and snow in winter, the
cold blasts of winds carrying colds and
melting heat of the summer sun. The
old, the feeble, delicate women and
little children, often with wet feet and
damp skirts, must stand in the slush
and mud, their arms full of bundles,
till their beated half hourly car chanc-
es to come. How much sickness and
how many deaths may be directly at
tributable to the causes will never be
known, and the railway company is ut
IN &c five
ly needed is a large, convenient, and
ccmmodious waiting room. 1t should
be near Harrington Corner on Main
Street, so that patrons could see their
cars approaching. A small room will
not answer An entire store would be
none too large, for it would have more
patrons than the waiting room at I'm
ion Station. In fact it should be pat
termed after the waiting rooms in our
best railway stations, with toilet con-
veniences and parcel rooms, where
packages could be checked and sent.
1t would be a good source of income
also. If a neat, clean refreshment room
was added, with telephone and tele-
graphic conveniences also. A street
railway company carrying thousands
of people every day, should be COM
PEELED to look after the safety and COM
fort of it's patrons, the same as steam
railroad companies do with very much
less patronage.
Something ought to be done and that
quickly. Is it not the duty of the City
Board Of Health to take cognizance of
this matter? The chance of getting
colds, pneumonia and consumption up
on standing in the slush on the street
is infinitely greater than all danger
from smallpox or diphtheria. Give us
a good waiting room.
