Hello" and "Howdy.d do"

We had some offish neighbors once
that moved in, down the road.
We reckoned they were bout the
proudest folks we'd ever knowed.
An when we passed 'em now an then
we held our heads up high
To make dead sure they couldn't snub
us If they was to try.
1t really made me nervous, so / jes'
braced up one day
An thought I'd go ahead an show
my manners, anyway.
On Sunday, Std o. turnin' round and
gain at the view,
looked at them an says "Hello ~
An they says, "Howdy do -
Ii want the cold an formal greetin
that you've sometimes heard;
They smiled an said it hearty, like
they meant it, every word.
It's solemn to reflect on what we miss
along life's way
By not jes' bein' natural an good
humored day by day.
There's lots O. folks who fling the
simple joys of life aside
Because they dread the shadow OF
their own unconscious pride.
And nine times out O. ten you'll find
the rule works right and true
Jes' tell the world Hello - and it'll
answer "Howdy do"

matter of justice to the people who
live in the country; second, as a mat
ter of advantage to the people who do
not live in the country and third, on
the ground that the welfare of the
nation demands that the comforts of
country life SHALL as far as possible
keep pace with the comforts of city
life.
ut is a we'll known fact, or a fact
easily ascertained, that the people in
the country, while paying their full
share of county, state and federal
taxes, receive as a rule only the gen.
eral benefits of government, while the
people in the cities, have in addition to
the protection afforded by the govern
ment, the advantage arising from the
expenditure of public moneys in their
midst.
THE improvement of the country
roads can be justified also on the
ground that the farmer, the first and
most important of the producers of
wealth. ought to be in a position to
hold his crop and market it at the
most favorable opportunity; whereas,
at present he is virtually under COM
pulsion to sell it as soon as it is ma
tured because the roads may become
impossible at any time during the fall,
winter or spring. Instead of being his
own warehouseman, the farmer is COM
PEELED to employ middlemen and share
with them the profit upon his labor.
The farmer has a right, too, to insist
upon roads that will enable him to go
to town, to church, to the schoolhouse
and to the homes of his neighbors, as
occasion may require, and with the ex-
tension of rural delivery he has an adj
ditional need for good roads in order
that he may be kept in communication
with the outside world"

FOR GOOD ROADS
ORATORS APPEAL

ST. Louis, April 2S.-At the second
days session Of the National and In
ternational Good Roads convention,
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who is president
of the National Highway Commission,
made an address on Military Roads
and National Highway" and said in
part:
Our government has expended $780,
OOO,0 900 for the improvement of our har-
bors and waterways, and now the at
tention of the public is being called to
our postal roads and avenues of COM
munication that are most useful and
important to all our people.
''If such expenditures of the national
treasure have been made in the past
for the development of railroads and
waterways, is it not now a most ap-
propriate time that the improvement
of our roads should receive national
attention and governmental aid?"
Ex-Gov. Hogg of Texas pointed out
the necessity for good roads which he
believed could be secured only through
the aid of the national government. He
spoke of the insular policy of the gov
eminent, and said if some of the
money that is being squandered in the
Philippines could be used here in the
improvement of highways, our roads
would be in far better condition.

noon session, receiving an ovation. lie

SURVEYS IN GEORGIA.
Typographical Works Undertaken
BY the Government.


BY r. M. Larner.
Washington, April 2S.-For the pur-
pose of procuring an accurate base
map for future investigation of the
mineral resources of Georgia. a tOpo-
graphic survey of Wilkes county and
vicinity is just being begun by the
United States Geological Survey.
The work is undertaken at this time
at the earnest solicitation of the Geor-
gia congressional delegation and others
who are interested in the development
of the natural resources of the state,
such as water power, mineral deposits,
etc.
Permanent bench marks, placed at
intervals of about six miles, will show
the exact hight of the country above
sea level, and will serve as base for
future engineering or topographic
work; and the contours, or lines Of
equal elevation on the complete map
(each contour representing vertical
interval of so feeD will accurately
portray the relief of the country as to
shape and elevation. In addition to
the above topographic features, all
houses, churches, roads, railroads,
streams, mines, quarries and timbered

About 1000 square miles, comprising
all of Wilkes county and parts of FL
bert, Oglethorpe, Green, Taliaferro,
Warren, McDuffie and Lincoln coun-
ties in Georgia, and also a small part
of Abbeville county in South Carolina,
will be surveyed in this manner, and
the results of the survey will be pub
lished later in the form of the regular
topographic atlas sheets of the Geo.
logical Survey.
About $4,000 square miles in the
northern part of Georgia have already
been surveyed, maps of which can be
procured for the nominal sum of
cents each by addressing the Director
of the United States Geological Sur
vey, Washington, D. c.
An area of 100 square miles in Barlow
county, Georgia, to be known as the
Gainesville special quadrangle, VIII be
mapped by the United States Geo.
logical Survey during the coming sum
mer.
This area is traversed by the Etowaf
river, and includes part of Pine Loe
mountain. 1t contains important min
eral deposits, principally iron, manga
nese and ocher, which, with the com
plicated geologic structure of the re-
gion, necessitates the preparation OF
large-scale topographic map.
Mr.. E. S. Ella, assistant, topographer

GILBERT MUST SERVE.
Attempt to Soften His Sentence Was
without Avail.


Waycross, Ga, April 2S.-The appli-
cation of George F. Gilbert's attorneys
to vacate his sentence was heard be-
fore Judge Parker in Ware Superior
Court this morning. The hearing CON-
summed about two hours, the arguments
on both sides being lengthy and COW
ering many points of law. Gilberts
attorneys were Toomer & Reynolds
and L. A Wilson, and Solicitor Ben
nett was assisted by Jos. w. Bennett,
of Brunswick, and j. c. Mcdonald and
S. w. Hitch, of this city.
The principal arguments of Gilbert's
attorneys were to the effect that there
were many errors in the judgment, and
sentence against Gilbert, many de-
cisions being read in the attempt to
show why Judge Parker should an
null the sentence passed on Gilbert last
April. 1t was the principal desire or
Gilbert's attorneys that he be resen-
fenced by Judge Parker, and a monied
fine imposed, instead of Imprisonment
in the penitentiary for four year.
The claims as set forth in the argu-
ments of Gilbert's attorneys were final
ly overruled. At this juncture, a scene
that was somewhat spectacular in its
effect occurred in the Court House.
Immediately following the decision of
Judge Parker for the state, Solicitor
Bennett arose and instructed the sher-
if to take charge of Gilbert and con-
fine him in the county Jail until such
time as guard from the penitentiary
should call for him.
Gilbert was occupying one of the
front seats at the time among the
spectators, when Solicitor Bennett gave
these instructions. Mr.. Toomer one
of the defendants attorneys, strongly
objected to Gilbert being placed under
arrest, stating at the time that he had
an order from the Prison Commission
to report at Fargo, the convict camp,
Immediately after the case was finally
decided and that Gilbert would do so.
The solicitor again instructed the sher-
if to take charge of Gilbert, and Dep
uty Sheriff Rouss was placed in charge
of him.
At the noon recess, the attorneys for
the defense made another effort to
have the prisoners sentence set aside,
and this new motion will be heard
some time during the week. In the
meantime, Gilbert will remain in the
custody of two deputies, who will keep
him in charge every moment until the
penitentiary guard arrives, who is eX-
pected to come for Gilbert tonight, as
he has been telegraphed for.

TWO FIRES AT MACON.
Residences and Potash Works
Burned-Crump Makes Bond.

Macon, April 2S.-Fire was discov-
cred tonight on Huguenin Nights, in
the residence of DR.. Chun, an osteopath,
and the doctor was almost killed in
trying to escape, as he was asleep when
the fire started.
The residence of George Craven of
the Schofield Sons Co., was burned by
the spreading of the fire. 1t is not
known how the fire started George
Birch owned the Chun residence, and
Mr.. Craven owned his residence. The
loss on each is about $4,000.
S. A. Crump to-day made his $685.
900 bond as county treasurer, and he
will take the oath of office at once.
1t was thought to be at one time al
most impossible for any one to make
the bond, because of the size of it.
Two companies shared the bond. Both
are Baltimore guaranty companies.
The Eureka Potash Works was burn
ed late last night. The loss is about
$4,000, but the plant will be rebuilt
at once. Thomas w. Troy was the
promoter of the enterprise, which was
quite new.

REPORT ON CROPS.
Weather Bureaus Showing ms to

weather bureaus showing nB to
Their Condition.
Washington, April 2S.-The weather
bureaus weekly crop report says:
The drought in Florida and in the
Central and West Gulf states, espec-
tally in the last mentioned sections,
has grown more serious, and over
large areas the ground is too dry for
termination of seed.
AS in the previous week, corn plant
ing has made slow progress, more
particularly over the central and east
ern portions of the corn belt and in
the Middle Atlantic states, but better
progress has been made in Kansas and
Nebraska, and preparations for plant
ing have been vigorously carried on in
Iowa and portions of Illinois. In the
Southern states corn has suffered from
low temperatures, and in the Central
and West Gulf districts from drought
also.
East of the Mississippi early cotton
has been injured by cold, and much
replanting will be necessary. Plant
ing in this part of the cotton belt has
progressed rapidly, except in Missis-
sippi, where, as in the districts west
of the Mississippi, planting, although
well advanced, has been largely sus-
pended during the past week on hc-
count of drought. Warmth is gener-
ally needed throughout the cotton belt,
and the central and western districts
are in urgent need of rain.
Tobacco plants continue plentiful
and healthy, though backward III
Kentucky. No transplanting has yet
been done, except in the Carolinas,
but plants are ready for setting in
Tennessee. In North Carolina the
plants are not starting well, and in
South Carolina stands are being inn
paired by worms and injury has been
caused by hail storms.
