Kentucky Court in Open Air.

At Greensboro, KY, a session OF
court is to be held in open air, for a
novel reason. Jane WoOlsey, arrested
on a charge of "moonshining," was!ta-
ken to Greensboro the other day to
stand trial. ARRIVING at the court
house, it was found that she was too
large to get through the door. Heroic
efforts were made to bring Jane before
the bar of justice, but the portal OF
the temple of the blind goddess was
too narrow, and Jane stuck at every
attempt to pull her through. She
weighs 43O pounds. The magistrate
has wired for authority to hold court

where Jane will have plenty OF room.

SIBERIA A LAND OF PLENTY.
John Foster Fraser Says 1t Will
Be Worlds Food Center.

John Foster Fraser, who wrote 1.-The
Real Siberia" stepped ashore at New
York the other day from the Campo
MIA with the avowed intention Of study
ing American workmen for the pur-
pose of making comparison with Eng
lish workmen in order to note just
wherein the latter fail, says the New
York Journal Mr.. Fraser has been In
thirty-two different countries.
Il had my choice to cover the coro-
nation for the Yorkshire Post, the
Glasgow Herald and Birmingham Post
or to take this assignment in the Unit
ed States" said Mr.. Fraser. Il chose
to come here. You see, my wife is an
American.
MY views of Siberia differ from
those of other writers and especially
so in the book 1 have written? Yes, l
am well aware Of that. The trouble is
that the public up to now has never
had the real Siberia pictured to 1t.
1t is a beautiful land; not one of eter-
nal snow.
"Why, do you know that believe ST.
IBERIA will be the great food producing
center of the world in the future! 1t
is a great agricultural country 1t re
minds me of the vast stretches of ag-
riculturaI lands l have seen in the
United States.
There are plenty of evidences of
American craft in Siberia, in Baldwin
locomotives and in farming implements
that the Russian government sells TO
the peasants at cost price. Americans
do not sell as much agricultural ma
chinery as they might. That little
countervailing duty that the United
States imposes on Russian sugar oper-
ates against them. The Russians have
retaliated by imposing a duty OF 70
per cent on all American machinery.
Germany Is rushing in to take adj
vantage of this, and great quantities
of machinery that could have been
sold in Russia by United States manu-
facturers are now being sold by the
Germans. Thus Germany is indirectly
reaping the benefit Of the American
duty on Russian sugar.
'I have been all through Siberia
from end to end and from side to side.
'I was arrested once in Manchuria
by the Russians, who were at first
very fierce and ended by inviting me
to dinner The Russians will give up
Manchuria about the same time that
the English forsake Egypt-that is,
when they are driven out"

existence down through the flight of
centuries, and just for this reason
above all others they are regarded to-
day as the greatest of all nations of
their time on the two continents 1t
seems that good roads and civilization
have always been intimately connect
ed.
If it was not for good roads the grain
belt could never be developed sand the
world would want for the staff of life
To this end it is well for Georgia to
fall in line in this good work as sug-
gested by the Journal, and it should do
so at once, for the'cows tail" of pro-
cession never amounts to much, no
matter how great the procession is.
Coming down to Georgia we may
take Richmond, Columbia and McDuf-
fie counties in. contrasting views.
The first began matchmaking its
roads about fifty years ago under the
contract system and later it put its con-
victs to work on the roads. In the
course of few years every mile CT its
public roads will be gravelled mscada-
mized roads and already it's highways
have attained such degree of perfec-
tiOn as to elicit praise from engineers
aud other competent critics from all
parts of the world.
Take Columbia county. Some years
ago the short term convicts Wc1e plac-
ed at work on the public roads aud in
short time improvements were mani
fest on ali sides, but the number of
convicts EOon became small and the
work was abandoned. Since that time
the roads have been getting worse,
and return to the convict system
will probably be made next year.
Ten years ago McDuffie county be-
gan working convicts on it's roads and
has stuck to the system. Today all its
roads are good. Enterprises of all
kinds are springing up and the county
is daily growing richer. Is good roads
factor? These three counties join
each other What else can be the
cause ?
What we need to make the good
roads movement d permanent one Is &c
have a state law on the same and gel
every man of common sense enlisted
in the cause. Then we shall see 9
period of progress unparalleled in the
history of GeOrgia.-Rhoe Haynes II

TINE day was when men of promi-
nence hesitated to give their testi-
monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true to-day
of most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one hesi-
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
Z. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. f. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of Greensboro, Ga. writes:
Having used Peruna in my family for
some time 1t gives me pleasure to testify

"My little boy seven years of age had
