Queer Excuse of Hogan for Taking
Second Wife.
663 Main 81, BUFFALO, NJ y.

Swainsboro, Ca, Jan. 10.-A young
white man giving his name as Oscar
Hagan was arrested at a boarding
house here last night by Deputy Sher-
if r. A. Curl on telegram received
from Belleville, Tattnall county. Ha-
gan is wanted by the Tattnall authori-
ties for bigamy. He was accompanied
to this place yesterday by his second
wife, a handsome young woman about
II year of age, who is said to be of
a good family and well connected in
Tattnall. Hagans first wife and three
children are reported to be at present
living in Macon. He claims to be q
native of greensboro, KY, but has
been residing at Belleville for some
time. He does not deny having an
other wife in Macon, but says as he
had left her four years ago, thought
time had divorced them.
Hagan's second wife, who accompa-
MED him here, refuses to believe him
guilty of any crime, and says she will
remain with him until the last. Hagan
was placed in jail here last night.
This morning a Tattnall officer was on
hand, and took him to the Jail at
ReidSVille.

Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 10.-To show
clearly the rapidly increasing finan-

SCHOOL CENSUS EXPECTED
TO SHOW LARGE INCREASE

The school census of the state, which
is taken every five years, will be taken
this spring. The last census was in
1898. 1t will, as formerly, be taken by
counties, the Board of Education of
each county having the matter in
charge. The last census was taken, in
Savannah, by the compiler of the city
directory, and in the country by men
specially hired for the works All chill
dren between the ages of and IS,
both white and colored, are considered
of school age, and, consequently, are
included in the census report.
The last census gave Chatham coun-
ty a school population of 1929. di-
vided as to residence and color, as
follows:
White. Colored. Total
Savannah .5,5S2 1854 1925
Country .......... $50 4,033 1892
Total ...........6,491 1917 1929
Since that time there has been an
increase from year to year, as is shown
in the statement compiled each year
by Supt. Ashmore, though, of course,
these reports cannot be compared with
the report of the census, for the rea-
son that probably not more than half
of the children of school age attend
the public schools. The remainder
either attend private schools or else
none at all. The reports of Mr.. Ash
more show only the number of pupils
enrolled in the public schools.

not obtainable, but Superintendent
Ashmore is of the opinion that they
will show a decided gain over the pre-

The tables show that the attendance
of white children in the city schools
has been steadily on the increase,
while in the country it fiuctuates. But
little change is noted in the attend
ance of colored pupils in the city
schools, but slight decrease in at

results will be attained.
"Close study Of these conditions re-
suited in the construction Of a section
Of brick wheel track road in the depart
ment Of agriculture grounds in the ear
~ part of 1900, followed by the intro
duction of this system in various places
for the improvement Of country roads
and city streets, also with most encour-
aging results.
"The continued advance in the area
reached by the benefits Of rural free
mail delivery under aid from the ma
tional treasury indicates it's deserved
popularity in the rural sections. A
steady increase seems probable in the
area thus benefited until all of the more
densely populated parts of this country
are covered.
'"To the rapid and economical extern
sion Of rural mail delivery only one OBJ
stacle worthy of consideration presents
itself, but that obstacle is of such a ma
turc as to greatly affect it's practicable
ity and economy This is the present
condition of our country roads.
Without question one of the first
great movements toward the economic
al free rural delivery of the mails should
be the construction of passable roads
This is already evident from the fact
that some Of the mail delivery routes
have had to be abandoned on account
Of bad roads.
"The circumstance that over $6,000,-
600 was appropriated by our last con-
gress largely to be buried in our muddy
roads in the delivery of our rural mails,
while only the small sum of $4,000
was last year devoted to meeting the
road problem, indicates the great need
of education regarding the present ne
cessity and demand for vigorous and
intelligent road work.
GAS much Of these large appropria-
tons for rural mail delivery could be
saved if we had good roads, it is obvi-
GUS that an amount equal to consider
able portion of these sums could be
spent to good advantage in educating
the people in the work Of improving our
country roads and thus forever close Il

million or more be spent to the best pos
sible advantage by the national govern

COST OF BAD ROADS.
SOME STARTLING FACTS AND fig
URES BY MARTIN DODGE.

Our Poor Highways Said to Cost Us
$65O,O0O,OOO Every Year In Repairs.
Their Condition an Obstacle to
Rural Mail Delivery,
Poor roads in the United States are
costing the people annually the enor-
nous sum of $65O,000,OO0, which is a
tax Of more than 81 year for every
man, woman and child. This amazing
fact is pointed out by Martin Dodge,
director of the bureau of public road
inquiries of the department of agricul-
ture in Washington, says the New York
Herald. He advocates the construction
Of brick track roads with convict labor.
AS result of the good roads move
ment, which has been largely stimulat-
ed by the efforts of the department Of
agriculture, the road question is at
present receiving a remarkable degree
of active interest, as indicated, for in
stance, by a movement in the state
of New York for bonding the state for
$50 100000 to build country roads.
This is wholly in line with a bill before
the last national congress by Mr.. Otey
of Virginia for $10O,O0O,OOO for the
same purposes.
Mr.. Otey declared, I'm view of our
Willingly having spent $4O0,OOO,OOO on
the Philippines, it is time to do some
thing tangible for our own people"
'"This is especially true" comments
Mr.. Dodge, "in view of the fact that
we are continually paying an avoid
able mud tax Of more than $650,OO0,000
each year for the privilege of driving
over our dusty and muddy roads. This
enormous expense is better compre-
hended by saying it equals a tax of
more than 81 each year for every man
and woman and child in this country"
A careful study Of the road problem
in detail reveals some important and
significant features. While good road
stone is found in a very few places in
this country, good clays are found in
nearly every locality.
IF these abundant clays," Mr.. Dodge
argues, "can be used economically to
build good roads, they will greatly as
sist in meeting the important problem
of how to construct our country roads.

very narrow portions of roads through
wheel contact-railroad cars, for exam
ple-it follows that if such narrow parts
