RARE FINDS IN ARMENIA.
JmpOrtant Scientific Discoveries
Made by German Delivers Among
ChaIdenn Remains.

The interest of the German govern.
ment in the Bagdad railway has led
it to dispatch important missions to
Armenia for the purpose OF making
archae illogical explorations in Ar.
menia. The first of these expeditions
was intrusted to DIR. W.. Belck alone,
and in 1898 and 1899 he was accom-
panied by the psychologist, DR.. c. F.
lehman. The report of these expe-
ditions has just been issued, says the
Paris Messenger, and the results to
science are most important. The first
indications of civilization In the
mountain lands bordering on Lake
Van were made known by the Ere nch
traveller, DR.. Schultz, who copied a
number of inscriptions on the rocky
walls of the fortress of the city OF
Van. Schultz, unfortunately, was
killed by the Kurds, but his diaries and
copies of Inscriptions were recovered
and published by the French govern
ment in the Journal Asiatique.
Layard, who visited Armenia in 1S49,
copied a number of inscriptions, and
Rassam, who made several visits to the
country and excavated at Toprak
Kaleh, the ancient palace fthe vannic
kings, copied or took casts of several
more, but the work of the German ex
petitions has greatly increased our
knowledge of the country. The me m.

MORE ABOUT GOOD ROADS.

That the article which appeared in
these columns a few days ago calling
the attention of the grand jury to the
county roads was timely has been dem
onstrated in many ways, but no more
striking confirmation has been re-
ceived than well authenticated report
that one of the oldest carriers of the
Rural Free Delivery routes in this
county is about to give up his position
and assigns as his reason that he is I'M
able to stand the expense of furnishing
the number of horses needed in his
work. He states that the roads are so
bad in many places that his stock are
seryicable for only a short time, and
he cannot afford to be continuously
buying new horses out of the compen-
sation allowed by the post Office de-
partment This is a serious question,
and the people living in the rural dis
tricts have begun to realize the value
of a system which brings them their
mail promptly and delivers it at
their own doors. The route carried by
this man is not the longest in the
county but some of the roads are fire
quently well nigh impossible, .and at
all times difficult and trying on vehi-
cles and stock Twenty-Five miles
every day on a good road is not easy
on a good horse, but twenty-five miles
every day over miserable roads is hard
on man and beast, and men of the type
who should hold these positions can
not afford to purchase new horse
every three or four months. We need
good roads for many other reasons but
this reason appeals to the people who
rely on this rural carrier for their daily
mails and appreciate the rseryices of
faithful carriers, who at best are poorly
paid, but their work must be done rain
or shine, be the roads good OF bad.
The question is one that should com
mand the attention Of our friends who

ton in the effort to secure good roads

DESPERATE NEGRO CAPTURED.
After Two-Year Chase He Is Held al
OsceoIa, Ark, for Authorities.

Macon, Ga, Oct Platter two years
the negro who murdered Sneed, a
night Waterman at Stevens pottery,
has been caught, and is being held III
OsceIoa Ark, until the Macon author
tiles can send for him.
The negros name is Lee Edwards,
and at the time Of the tragedy, he was
employed at Stevens Sons works, I'M
der the direction of Sneed. A triV-
iaI misunderstanding caused the negro,
who was a desperate character, to kill
young Sneed
The death Of Sneed was particularly
sad, as he had only been married a
month or so, and was a young man
Of promise
The negro escaped, and, although
every effort was made to catch him,
he was never traced until about a
week ago. The Macon authorities
were notified that man answering
the description of Edwards had been
arrested in Osceola, Ark. Further in
vestigation has convinced the authori-
ties that the right man has been
caught, and Detective Amerison has
left for Arkansas to identify him and
bring him to Macon, if he is the right
man.

THE ELKS' CARNIVAL.

The Americas Lodge of Elks pro
poses to give a street fair and carnival
next week. concerning the merits Of
which there seems to be some differ
ence Of opinion.
The Times-Recorder has carefully
Hooked into the matter, and after in
yestigation is constrained to say that
those who are active in their opposition
to the proposed fair appear to occupy
a rather unfortunate position.
The membership Of the Americas
Lodge of Elks comes from the very
best and most influential element of
her citizenship, and is composed of
gentlemen whose enterprise and pa
triotism is not to be questioned. 1t
will not do to condemn in advance any
enterprise with which these gentlemen
see fit to connect their names.
The inspiration of the opposition
seems to come from the digraceful
scenes of rowdyism enacted during the
Elks fair in Atlanta few weeks since.
The most careful investigation proves
conclusiyely that the blame for this
attaches entirely to the crowd of row.
dies, and not to the fair, nor the Elks.
If Atlanta had given the Elks fair am
pie police protection, there would have
been no disgraceful scenes to chron-
icle.
Neither the fair, nor the Elks should
be blamed for Atlantas failure to do
the right thing.
1t seems only fair that the Elks be
to proceed with their enter
prise in peace. 1t would perhaps be
as well for che critic to reverse his de-
CIo4Ou uulI tuC ALIGIlCuS IOuSC gives
him more room for complaint than it

The same company has Showed in
Rome and Athens and in each of these
cities there was no fault to be found
with the attractions presented, and the
testimony Of reputable citizens who
have witnessed the performances con
firms the statement that fault in At
lanta lay, not with the Elks or the
Carnival, but with local .rowdies who |
made the presence of the show an ex-
cuse for lawlessness.
Let every citizen join the Elks in
trying to make the show a success.
That is better than trying to make it a
failure.
