Farmer Writes Interestingly and
F~orcefully, of our County
Roads.
TContinued from last week.

TCOntinued from last week.
This was followed by spreading a
few inches of sand over the clay
roads and a few inches of clay over
the sand roads. The cost of this
work being but little more than the
expense of the labor and hauling, as
--he materials were found close at
hand. Where the traffic was light,
the surface proved eminently salts
factory, often requiring little or no
repairing for several years. On the
main thoroughfares near the city,
where the traffic was heavier, the
sand-clay surface proved less salts
factory and it was found necessary to
spread a gravel much larger on top
of it. On the the sand-clay roads in
some cases the sand is spread over
the clay surface to a depth of 2 to G
inches and in other places the clay
is spread owe the sand the same
depth.
The cost of these sand-clay roads.
says the Superintendent, has ranged
from 500 to $500 per mile, this vari-
alton being due to the amount O.
grading to be done and the nature o.
the materials used, and the distance
it was necessary to haul them. He
says the average cost of grading.
Feeding and caring for the convicts
is 26 cents per head a day. The re-
suits of their efforts is that Richmond
county, Ga, has 100 miles of COCO
sand-clay roads and 100 miles o
gravel roads all we'll graded anC

A Willy OLD MERCHANT.
Cnc Man Has Things Fixed ue for
GLIB Talkera

It is a common and commercial tricl:
to place a visitor in your Office in a
chair facing a window, while you sit
in chair with its back to the window.
Your eyes are in the dark his eyes
are in the glare. You can read him
through and through. while he cannot
even catch the color of your optics.
This is supposed to be q square deal
The stranger must not be allowed to
take any undue advantage. There is
one willy old gentleman, the very salt
or the earth, who has been "dCne"
many times by smart promoters. At
last he is grown suspicious. He not
only throws the limelight into the Wis
itor's face but places him in @ croaky
chair with an unsteady foundation
Ihis Is dream of a nerve upsctter
When the visitor gets overheated ir
argument the chair creaks and he is
distracted. AS he colectes himself
and proceeds further the chair creaks
again and he is ratified" There Is a
clock in the Office that has not moved
from the hour of 2:10 in seven years
and when the poor fellow CLUES his
eyes to its face he is completely dcne
up, or undone. 1t is simply the mer

Judged by Her Book.

The girls in large department store,
says Frank Leslie's, are, as rule,
carefully watched not only in the store,
but out OF it, The buyer of each de-
partment knows pretty well the habits
OF his sales ladies'; knows how much it
costs them to live and how they spend
their evenings. 1t is easy for him to
get the information not merely through
the store detective, but in many other
ways.
The buyer is, as a rule, a tolerant
person, who cares only for two things
namely, that the girls deliver the
goods. e., that they make big
book" and that they appear respect
able. II they stay out so late at night
that they do not reach the store
promptly in the morning they may be
discharged, transferred from one de-
partment to another or merely not
rise in the way OF salary, depending on
the degree of their misdemeanor. II
the girls book is unsatisfactory, she
is simply discharged or transferred, and
no reason is given, but il she is wise
she knows the reason why.
