The Long Bridge Work.

The heavy circular stone abutment on
which the draw of the new Long
bridge will be pivoted is showing sew
eral feet above the surface of the river.
The foundations of this abutment were
laid in Golfer dam, the men working
some distance below the surface of the
river bed. and it is conceded to be as
solid structure of masonry and steel as
human hands eau build. -Four OF the
bridge piers are standing high above the
river, and in two cribs tie stonemasons
are pushing the work on other piers.
The structural steel, of which the
bridge is to be built, has not yet been
received.

PACIFIC CABLE PEOPLE

NEW YORK August 12.-George W.
Claperton trafflc manager for the Com
mercial Pacific Gable company, says ac-
cording to The Times that the company
is not satisfied with the conditions i'm
posed IN the memorandum made public
Saturday by President Roosevelt regard

Francisco, the Philippines and China. and
adds that reply to the presidents terms
would be made in few days.
Mr.. Claperton was not prepared 10 say
what the company's reply would be. but
intimated that II would be In the nature
OF a counter-proposition embodying GER
tain notifications Of the administrators
proposals.
One OF the chief points over which the
company is dissatisfied is that referring

WEAK SCHOOLS
To BE MADE
STRONG
CAPITALIZATION PLAN WILL
BE PROPOSED BY COMMITS
SI0NER GLENN TO THE NEXT
LEGISLATURE.

State School Commissioner G. X. Glenn
Will recommend to the next legislature a
plan to centralize the country schools Of
the state of Georgia in such way as TO
completely reVolutionize the whole system
of country schools
In his report to the legislature he will
call attention to the modern methods
adopted by many sister states. and Will
recommend that the country schools be
centralized and that children living too
remote to walk TO and from school be
carried at the expense Of the state.
ITO explain this" Said lhr. Glenn, 1T
must be understood that the final expense
is less than It is under the present ar
rangement. AS the schools are now con-
stituted we have any number o. weak
and inefficient country schools. Inc plan
is to do away with these weak schools,
and TO put four or five of them into one
strong school, with better equipment, bet
ter teachers, a better curriculum and
naturally a larger attendance.
The problem then arises of getting the
children to the schools. This has been
successfully met in many states by having
them carried to and from schools at the
expense Of the state. The children could
have some common meeting place in the
mornings. and could easily be picked up
by som@ farmer and carried safely and
comfortably to and from the school"
This plan is now in vogue in many
states. and has invariably met with the
greatest success, not only improving the
school system but in every case actually
reducing the expense. New York has
authorized such a Capitalization OF the
country schools. Wisconsin has at least
twenty such schools in splendid operation.
A similar measure is before the Maryland
legislature. Massachusetts has tried the
experiment successfully for thirty years.
The same plan is carried out now in North
Carolina and Texas. as well sas in Iowa
and in many other states.
II shall make this recommendation most
strongly" said the commissioner. 1T Is
along the line of progress, but the method
has already passed beyond the shape Of an
experiment, having been a pronounced
success in so many different states. In
fact It is the only method to secure eff
ficient country schools. There has been
no difficulty in carrying the children to
and from schools, and that, too, with the
important feature, that better schools can
be maintained at an actual less cost to
tho state"

Murphy & co.,s Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Aug 13.-There have been
two phases to wheat today, weakness
early on TeseIling by those who covered
Tuesday and later in the day strength or
fears Of predicted wet weather over the
spring wheat belt tomorrow and COM
plants from abroad OF unfavorable wealth
er for harvesting. The wheat futures had
a range of about a cent A fair cash de-
mand was reported with sales here of
10000 bushels and % loads at the Sea-
board. The grading was very poor and
this renewed the anxiety over September
on the part of shorts. The market was
mostly Influenced by unfavorable weather
abroad and fears. Of general showers on
this side. Gables were fraction higher.
September led the strength. The corn
market has been worked up and down by
the big interests. There was a strong
opening and a drop on heavy selling by
ers seemed willing to take their sales
back and Patten and Bartlett were large
buyers. Gables were up fraction.
Rains and predictions Of more excited
fears Of a late crop and frost damage.
Cash oats were firm and some higher.
Early in the session futures were dull and
lower. Prices for the first hour being
fraction under Tuesdays close. When
wheat and corn sold up oats followed.
There was some future buying by the Pat
ten party. Tho best prices were toward
the close.
Provisions have been irregular and hard
to follow. The only strength was early.
The market had quite a break all around
but there was some recovery from the low
point There was a good deal of selling
of September lard and September ribs and
the market for these had no support and
were very nervous.
