route.
This travelling educational enterprise
occupies train of dozen cars, two
Of which are fitted up in hotel fashion
for the accommodation of the staff of
instructors and their assistants, while
the other vehicles are fat cars loaded
with an extraordinary variety of pom
derous machinery. In fact, such a
weighty and elaborate outfit for
school purposes was never seen be-
fore in the world; and as the caravan
moves along through the sunny south
land the inhabitants may well be as
tonished. Il is like a circus without

means intended to be disrespectful, in
asmuch as the affair is in reality of
very serious Importance and practical
value, being designed for the purpose
Of encouraging the movement in be-

This peripatetic school is organized
somewhat on the model of a kinder
garten. All the people along the route
who will come and be taught are its
pupils, and classes run from 500 to
5000 in number. At each stoppinp
place lessons are given in the art of
building roads, from half a mile to a
mile and a half of first-class dirt road.

Structed. The kind chosen depends on
the material at hand; If the stuff is
available, a sample of each is built.
There could be no more simple and ef-
fective means for conveying substan-

The "good roads train" as the tray-

National Good Roads association,
with the help of Uncle Sam. Director
Dodge, of the government road inquiry
Office, is head teacher, and his chief as
Eistant is Mr.. NJ. o. Eldridge Several
engineers, specially trained in the
business, accompany the expedition,
and there are about a dozen expert
workmen to perform the actual labor
in the construction of the sample bits

ANOTHER Big DEAL
In Phosphate Property Reported to
Have Been Made.

Negotiations for another big phos-
plate deal in the Maury county fields
are being made. Mr.. A. B. Harlan,
it is understood, has sold the mining
privileges on his home place on the
Williamsport pike to the Charleston,
IS. c., Mining ana Manufacturing
Company. The deal has not yet been
formally closed, but Mr.. Harlan was in
Nashville this week negotiating with
the parties, and it is thought that final
agreement will be reached. The
consideration to be paid Mr.. Harlan
by the phosphate company is said to
be $46, 600.
The Charleston Mining and Manu-
featuring Company is the same one
that purchased the Howard and Ridley
phosphate properties several weeks
ago for something over S40O, 900,
thereby concentrating the biggest deal
in the history of the Maury county
phosphate business.
