THE GOOD ROAD TRAINS.

In answer to an inquiry from the
Railroad Gazette Vice-President Har-
ahau of the Illinois Central gives the
observed results of the experimental
trip through Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi and Louisiana Of the good
roads train sent out by that railroad
company. There was less need of the
lesson in Kentucky than in the other
states. as the turnpike roads in the in
terror of Kentucky have been models
for three-quarters of a century.
That state was the pioneer in the
building of such roads. However, a
Kentucky Good Roads association has
been formed to improve roads in sec
tions of the state where they are not
up to the standard. Similar associa-
tions have been organized III Tennes-
see. Mississippi and Louisiana, and in
each of those states the legislatures
will be asked to take steps furthering
the good work.
The sentiment aroused wherever the
exverts on the train showed what
could be done in go I'd ROAD construction
with native and comparatively cheap
material has spread to remoter parts
of the states, and the movement look
ing toward an intelligent ana consist
ent method of road building and road
conservation has been well started.
A like good roads train is now tour
ing the South Atlantic states, arOusin2
interest everywhere and promising as
good results as attended the demon
strations in the Mississippi states.

FARMERS FIGHT WITH NEGRO.
Beth Shot. But Negro Was Killed. Lat.
ter's Wife Accidentally Shot.

AMERJCUs, GA, July Ga young
farmer named Gwynes, residing on the
Slappy plantation near Americas, shot
and instantly killed II negro farm hand
this morning, and at the same time
dangerously wounded negro woman.
GwyLes and the negro had an alterca
ton, and as the white man pulled the
trigger of his gun the woman unfort-
unately stepped TO the door just il
time to receive the entire load of shot
in her abdomen.
Gwynes and the negro exchanged
several shots at close range. Gwynes
was struck twice, and finally succeeded
in emptyiug his gun into his adversary,
killing him instantly. The duel was
fought at the foot of large tree,
around which the men ran In the eff
fort to shoot each other. Gwynes I'M
dOubtedly acted in self-defense.
The woman SO desperately wounded
had no part in the tragedy. She will
probably die.

WHEN AND HOW SLAVERY WAS STARTED.

forms of that institution, while the
line between servitude and slavery
tended constantly toward oDlltera-
ton"
When white indcntured servants
were no logger imported and negroes
were in great mum bers, the gradual
change from servitude to legallzed
slavery was inevitable. Though The
value OF slave labor in those early
times was apparent, the Virginians,
saws Or. Ballagh, .soon saw that a mis-
take had been made, and therefore
"thirty-three different acts we're pass
ed by the Virginia assembly prior to
1872 to discourage the slave traae,
obstructing taxes and penalties OF va
rious kinds being devised. But the
English slavers continued to grow rich
under royal patronage. Nirginla's pro-
tests being disregarded. One OF JET
Persons indictments against The king
of England was that "by an inhuman
use of his negative" he had refused
no permission" to stop the importation
of slaves by law.
The following interesting facts are
cited: In 1927 three English cities had
III ships in the trade. From 1904 TO
1907 Rhode Island had SO ships import
ing slaves, South Carolina 81, Balti-
more 4, Norfolk 2, Boston ]. In IT'S
Virginia prohibited the slave trade, 30
years before England did so. Virginia
was the first political community in
the civilized modern world" says DR..
Ballagh, "to prohibit the pernicious
traffic. being alarmed by the rapid
growth of the negro population. Vir-
glnia did not sanction domestic slavery
until 1861. Massachusetts sanctioned
it bv law in 1641, Connecticut in 1850,
and the New England States continued
the traffic after Virginia had prohib'
tied it by law in l778. Later on, after
1900, when the abolitionists sought TO
incite the slaves to iLsurrection, the
dominating sentiment in Virginia
changed, but DR.. Ballagh asserts that
during the first halt of the nineteenth
century there was always large num-
Der of Virginians who favored emancl-
pating the blacks and shipping them
from the country.

sTUPENDUoUs EXPENDITURES.

The congress just adjourned Will go
down in the annals of history as the
billion-dollar congress, chargeable to
the rank and fragrant extravaganza OF
the misunderstanding republican party.
Invariably arrogant AND dictatorial
when in power, this party has pursued
a moral and financial course during the
present administration of strenuous
Teddy which is reasonably calculated
to land it on the shoals of defeat. 1t
evidently fails to realize the fact that
congress is a BODY composed not OF
dictators but of servants of the people,
sent to the national capital to obey
their expressed wishes and to watch
with ali diligence after their interests
Whether the country at large relishes
this lavish expenditure of public funds
remains TO be seen. The congressional
elections this fall will tell the tale.
The News confidently hopes and be-
lieves that there is going TO be "some-
thing doing" when these elections
come on-something surprising to the
party now dominant; in short, the re-
turn to the lower branch of congress
of a democratic majority.

PENSIONS FOR DEsERTERs.
Confederates Who Deserted to Union
Ranks Provided For.

Among the numerous bills which were
rushed through in the closing hours OF
congress was one introduced by Sen
ator Pritchard Of North Carolina pro-
viding that those cOnfederates VINO
enlisted and served in the federal
army prior to Jan. /, 1865, shall pc
eligible to receive pensions from the
United States government. When
this matter was brought up before
Commissioner of Pensions b. Clay
Evans several years ago he ruled that
the men in this class were not pension
able. BY the passage OF this Dill
abot So, 5000 in pensions will be dis
bursed in North Carolina and Tennes-
see.
There is another clause in the bill
which is also likely to be far reaching
in it's effects. This clause provides
that where a soldier has deserted
from the United States army and has
subsequently, re-enlisted and has been
granted an honorable discharge his
former desertion shall not initiate
against his eligibility to receive pen
sion.
There were 1O7 900 assertions during
the civil war, and it is estimated that
Senator Pritchard's bill will add ST.
600, 900 yearly to the pension account.

NEGRO FOUND DEAD.
Blackberry Pickers Find Dead Body
Under a Bridge.

CUTHBERT, GA, July 5.-Negro
children picking berries near the
wagon bridge south of the Central
railroad depot yesterday afternoon
discovered a dead negro man under
the bridge. The find was reported to
the officers. Coroner Blackshear held
an inquest. No one present knew the
negro, but it was stated that he
had been seen around the depot
for q day or two, complaining OF
being little sick. No marks of vio-
lence were found about his person.
The jury made a verdict that the death
OF the unknown party was from nstur-
al causes.
The supposition is that the negro,
feeling badly, went under the bridge
to lie down, grew i'll and died. After
the inquest the party was identified as
the son of a tenant of DR.. w. J. Wade S
farm near BenevOlence, this county,
who ran away from home few days ago
because his father insisted on the son
doing more work and, not feeling dis
posed TO comply, ran away from home.

In his "History of Slavery in Vir-
oiuia" DR.. J. c. Ballagh, of John Hop
kins University, brings TO light some
facts relating TO the Introduction Oh the
unfortunate institution that are not
generally known
He tells us, says the Macon Tele-
graph, that the first negroes orougn
TO Virginia by a Dutch ship IN 1910
were not slaves, but servants previous
ly brought from England and volun.
tarily agreeing to serve term OF
wears in payment of the cost OF pas
sage. The comparative mildness OF
later American slavery was partly due
to the customs in existence connected
with this previous white serfdom.
At the outset the negroes were not
private property, and ownership was
not vested in any individual. They
were put to work on public lands and
later distributed among large planters,
who were officers of the government,
the object being to prevent plotting
and violence. 1t is on record that
some of them we're paid wages and
bought their freedom. Not until near
~ half century had elapsed--in 1861
was domestic slavery sanctioned bv
law. "Negro and Indian servitude,"
says DR.. Ballagh, 'passed historically
into slavery in most of the English
American colonies, If not all. This is
certainly true of Maryland, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Pennsylv Anla,
Georgia, North Carolina and South
Carolina In all of these colonies stat
utory recognition of slavery was post
poned for some time after the intro
duction ofthe subjects of slavery, who
were consequently referred to d diner
ent status. Most of the incidents de-
veloped in servitude were passed on to
slavery. The numerous acts on the
statute books applying equally to ser
wants and slaves show that the SINH
larity of the two institutions continued
while they existed side by side. The
effect of this relation is seen in the
hardening of the conditions OF servl-
tude and mitigate of those OF slavery,
so that the form finally assumed oY
slavery was of milder type than an
cient medieval or even contemporary

NEW LIFE IN rHE UNN ERsITY.

The new life that seems to be lntus-
ed in the University of Georgia is no.
ticed particularly in the announce
meut of the School of Agriculture OF
that Institution Notice Is given that
in addition TO the regular four years
course a short winter course of two
months is held each year, intended
primarily for students who cannot leave
their farms for q longer period OF
time, and beginning with next session
az entirely new one-vear course will
be offered in this school. This course
would seem TO be admirably adapted
to meet the wants of young men of ev-
ery class. In line with this work II il
noticed also that most excellent board
is provided in the dining hall of the
university at a cost of SIS per month.
Board of high quality is not provided,
we believe, at any institution at so low
a igure. Every effort seems to be
made by the administration to make
the cost of living as little as possible,
and as no tuition fees are charged the
cost of course at the State University
is now as low as could reasonably be
expected.
