ATHENS.
Limestone County Realizes That Good
Roads Are a Necessity.


Athens, August 21.-(Speoial)-A look
at the recent report of the county treas
urer Of Limestone would indicate that
Limestone was a pretty rapid county, as
1t shows that with the last six months
eneing August l the county spent $685.
This is pretty fair showing for expenses
for six months. A great deal of this was
spent for road Improvement and bridge
repairing. Limestone Is waking up to the
fact that to be successful she must nave
roads if she expects to compete with the
surrounding counties. The real estate
men in this place are doing a fine busi-
ness. which indicates tina, there is a
greater demand for lands In this county
than ever before. Farmers are constantly
coming here from the north hunting
homes.
The stockholders Of the Athens Cotton
Mill company has been notified OF a
meeting to be held in a few days for the
purpose of considering the question of
merging this mill into the cotton mill
trust. This would, the stockholders
claim, mean a doubling of the capacity
of this mill and bringing more profits to
the people who now own stock. The
larger shareholders are all anxious for
the mill to enter the trust
Crops in this county have suffered more
during the past week than they have all
the year. The hot winds and fearfully hot
sun has caused cotton to die in many
places, and In other places is causing it
to open more rapidly than IS usual in
September and October. Corn has suf-
fered very much. The cotton crop is al
most ruined in Limestone. Some sections
have not had rain since the crop was
planted.

Tests Of the Seven Field Guns al
Sandy Hook About Complete.

Washington, August 1.-THE tests of
the seven field guns subjected to trial at
Sandy Hook, N. j., and at Fort Riley
Kan, with a view to the selection of a
new weapon of this type for use In the
United States army. are practically COM
plete.
1t is the general opinion Of army Of
ficers who have Witnessed the working of
the guns that the choice lies between the
three long recoil weapons, the ordinance
gun. the Bethlehem piece, otherwise
known as the Lewis gun, and "Ehart"
gun. The complaint against the short
recoil weapons was that they jolted
themselves out of range time and again,
and thus demonstrated the great inferior
ity to the long recoi guns, which kept
firmly IN place and allowed the gunner
perched on each trail a comfortable and
steady seat. 1t therefore appears to be a
foregone conclusion that the board will
recommend the addition of one of the
three guns mentioned.
