Montpelier, Oct. 1.-All sorts of rumors
are in the air tonight that the Clement
forces will attempt tomorrow to block
Legislation by bringing injunction pro
ceedngs on the ground that they were
not given fair treatment before the joint
committee to canvass votes and because
the presiding officer of the Joint assembly
ruled out the minority report offered by
Mr.. Ellis of Fair Haven. These reports
however, cannot be traced to any reliable
source and IL is not thought probable they
will materalize as II is held that one

band, they marched to the Pavilion and
rendered Governor-elect Mccullough a

for the newly elected governor, but as he
had retired he hid not appear.
One of the incidents of the occasion was
the dancing on the Pavilion porch of the
highland fling by ex-senator Orrce Bal
lard of Georgia and Senator BackuS of
Rutland county "Orris" declared he was
so happy he would give IS to bust hole
In the bass drum and he evidently meant
what he said. After playing several Sc
lections closing with shoot the chutes, the
band returned to its quarters and quiet
reigned around the Pavilion.

Speaking of wedding rings, we learn
that these important symbols have not
always been manufactured from the
precious metal gold. We are told that
in lieu of ring the church key has
often been used, and WalpOle tells Of
an instance where Il curtain ring was
employed. The Duke of Hamilton fell
so violently in love with the younger of
the celebrated Misses Cunning at 4
party in Lord Clesterfield's house that
two days after lie sent for Il parSOn to
perform the marriage ceremony, but as
the duke had neither license nor ring
the clergyman refused to act.
Nothing dauntcd, Hamilton declared
he would send for the archbishop. At
last they were married with a ring of
the bed curtain at 1870 at night at
Mayfair chapel. FOrgetful bridegrOoms
have been reduced to greater straits
than this even. In one instance a

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
The Load q Georgia Farmer Drought

to Market.
There was presented in the thriving
city Of West Point. Ca. few days
ago an object lesson of the value of
good roads which impressed all who
saw it and which is worthy of more
extended notice.
Mr.. NJ. A. HARRISON, a TrOup county
farmer who lives about twelve miles
from West Point. drove four mule
wagon into that market with sixteen
full sized bales of cotton on it, says the
Atlanta Journal The weight of the
load was about 5000 pounds, besides
the heavy wagon on which it was piled.
Mr.. HARRISON made the trip from his
farm in remarkably good time, and
his team showed no signs of having
been taxed. 1t would have been i'm
possible for him to take sixteen bales
of cotton to market even with his four
fine mules If the Troup county roads
had not been in excellent condition.
There are some counties in Georgia
where eight bales would have been a
full load for his team, and then he
would have had to travel very slowly.

WHAT GOOD ROADS SAVE.
Money TIVE Farmer Would Pocket
With Better Highways.

Former Governor of Vermont Edwin
c. Smith, says the Rome Ga.) Tribune,
has shown the saving in dollars and
cents coming to the farmer by good
roads by the following effective and
telling comparison of the cost of haul
ing freight over railroads and primary
roads in Vermont:
Il have taken pains to have Stats
tics prepared to show the cost of trans
pOrtation of the products of Vermont
from various towns which lie away
from the line of the railroads to the
railroads as compared with the cost of
transporting the same articles from the
railroad to market. From these Stats
ties 1t appears that on butter, lumber,
granite, lime, brick and hay the rate
is $50 to 81 per ton to team from the
point of production to the railroad.
while the rate to haul the same ar
ticles from the railroad station to the
point of consumption is from $40 per
ton down to $1.66 per ton.
'In none of the instances does the
haul by team exceed twelve miles; in
none of the instances is the haul by
rail less than 40 miles. The rates by
railroad will never, in my Judgment.
be higher, so that whatever can be
saved by improved roads out of the
cost of teaming these products ought
to go into the pockets of the producers
of the hay or butter or the lumber or
granite or whatever is teamed.
'The standard authorities give the
saving in cost OF tcaming over good
roads as compared to ordinary dirt
roads to be from 80 to 10 per cent. SO
that there is from $1.25 to So for every
ton of freight teamed to go into the
pocket of the producer in Vermont if
only good roads are made where bad
ones now exist"

FOR GOOD ROADS.
AssOciatiOn Formed to Connect State
Capitals with Washington.

Capitals with Warrington.
In New York city recently an assOci-
alton was formed to agitate the cause
of good roads. This association, which
has adopted the name of the American
Roadmakers, has in view the securing
Of a system of highways which shall
connect the capitals of the various
states with Washington. The first eff
fort will be made by an appeal to the
national government to appropriate ST.
100000, to be used through the road
inquiry department., to map out routes
from capital to capital.
This Organizat ton is to be divided in
to departments of the EAST, south, CEN
trail and west, corresponding to geo.
graphical lines. 1t was decided to
limit the membership to ten from each
state until each state should have ten
representatives. Then another ten
would become eligible. The president
is elected for one year. He will be sue
ceeded by the first vice president, and
the succession to office will be in this
way.
The following officers were elected:
Senator HoratiO S. Earle of Detroit,
president; Edward Bond of Albany,
first vice president; Il. III. Thompson Of
Seattle, second vice president; Judge
Warner of Houston, Tex, third vice
president; w. Crandall of New York,

Pay Handsome Dividends.

The difference between good and bad
roads is often equivalent to the differ

roads have a money value to the farm
ers as we'll as political and social
value, and. leaving out convenience

which good roads always enhance and
locking at them only from the almigh-

Good Game of Ball.

The local colored base ball team
and nine from Pomona engaged in
match game of base ball at the
Golf ground last Saturday afternoon.
John Vincent urnpired the game to
the satisfaction of, both clubs, and
the result showed a score of IL to 6
in favor of the Crescent City club.
There was large number of colored
people on the ground and quite a
sprinkling of white people, all of
whom got much pleasure from the
contest. There were. some good
plays made by each club, aud very
many errors, most of which were
from lack of practice. For the local
team, Peter Wiley led in the bat
ting, at one time making a three
Dagger. Alex. Patterson was back
stop for the home club and he did
some clever work, while the delivery
of Aaron Wall was so puzzling that
the Pomona players failed to hit
him. For the visitors Bart Flem-
ing showed fine sprinting and base
stealing ability. The chief pleasure
of the white onlookers consisted Of
the iot-Iot Of Iilarity which the
game afforded the colored. One of
the prettiest plays made during
the game was the good catch OF hot
liner by Prof. Holley who played
shortstop for the home team.

Sold Fake Pecans.

The Savannah Morning News of
recent date contains an account of
the arrest of one j. Lucien Anders
for operating scheme to defraud
through the use of the United States
mails.
Anders advertised through the
newspapers that he was the owner of
various extensive pecan nurseries,
In which pecan tree of superior ex-
cellence was grown. Trees of this
variety he offered to sell an unsus-
pecting public. His victims are nu-
merous and are scattered all over the
south. In some cases Anders sent
no trees at all to those whom he
caught on his book to others he for
forwarded the trees he was engaged
in gathering when he was located in
Vicksburg, Miss. The swamps in
that vicinity are full of wild pecans,
that bear the outward appearance,
so far as bark and leaves are con-
cerned, of the cultivated trees. If
they are not exact reproductions they
are sufficiently like the real thing to
deceive the inexpert eye, and for An
ders purpose they sufficed very WELL
When he was located near Vicks-
burg he was down in the swamps
industriously digging up wild pecan
sprouts and sending them on to his
conflding customers.
The post office department has re-
ceived hundreds of complaints from
Ander's victims, many of whom are
from Florida. Hon. j. H. Harp,
who called the attention of the News
to the matter, acknowledges himself
a victim to the extent of seven dol
lars. Mr.. Walter Thomas of Palatka,
it is also stated, has been victimized
out of Il small sum. There are prob
ably others. 1t is likely that An
ders will receive a long sentence as
the case against him is strong.
