!, A. C. FAINT of Macon has enter

clerk al the solicitation of his
many friends and is now making
a thorough canvass of the state.
Mr.. FAINT is one of the best known
and popular young men in North

his home people are supporting
him to man. He possesses in
an eminent degree the necessary
qualifications to discharge the du.
ties of the position to which he
aspires; sober, attentive 10 bust

would make a capital clerk. Aside
from his qualifications Mr.. FAINT
is recognized as one of the states
most, worthy young ruen and one

.honorlng. While We do not dis
parage the claims Of any of his
worthy opponents the Journal will
use its influence and columns to

ests in his race ror clerk.

The fnanciers of Wall street
are reported to be opposed to the
nomination and election of Mr..
Roosevelt as president in 1904.
These shrewd business men are
afraid of the erratic mind of the

ahearty support from the monied
interests of the east.

There is never a day but that
something can be sold to some
body. There is never bargain
but that some one, some place,
would be especially pleased if
they only knew Of its existence.
The province of advertising is
to carry the bargain into the pres
ence of the very person who wants
it and to make the thing sell by
finding the. one who wants to buy.

Shall the Roads be Worked b,
, Fsfss-ia .tts.449-s e ef
Contract

The board of Supervisors at
their last meeting decided to sub
NIT to the people of the COUNT
the question of how the public
roads musfbe worked, It. is the
purpose of the board to ascertain
what sentiment exists among the
people in regard to the present
system and that of working the
roads by contract. IN order to
do this it has been ordered by the
board that at the general election
on November the 3rd that the
matter be voted on and the result
of thatelection will to a large ex-
tent govern the board in their
future actions. So at the Novem-
Der election the people of the
county will have presented to
them for the first time an op,
portunity Of either endorsing ON
condemning the present system.
Now, in taking this matter into
consideration the first question
that will arise Will be that. of the
cost. 1t is estimated that much
better results can be attained UNI
der the contract system than by
rlaking appropriations direct from
the common county funds for the
purpose of road improvement. This
latter policy has been in,~vogue
since the: organization of the eouu-
ty and We: all are familiar with
IFS workings and know the re-
suits. The change of the con.
tract system will enable the board
of supervisors to run the county
on much less money for common
county funds and we believe that
levy of 4 mills would be ample
to furnish all the money this fund
would require. The funds for
road purposes under the contract
system would come in from a
different source and iwould be a
relief to the taxpayer rather than
"a burden. We believe that the
people Of the county are tired of
the old and Intellectual system and
are ready to try something which
promises to be better and cheaper.
The contract system should be
given trial and if so, the improv-
ments in our public highways will
be the greatest advertisement the
county ever had. In addition to
the other benefits to be derived
the contract system affords an
opportunity to work the county
convicts upon the public roads.

LUNCHEON TO MISS SARGENT.
Although It Is Given in the Tombs, There
Is Nothing Grewsome.

Nor iron bars a cage:
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage.
Or for a bridal luncheon party.

Or for bridal luncheon party.
The Tombs the scene of a very pretty
luncheon yesterday at o'clock. which Mrs. John E
Van De Carr. the wife of the warden gave in honor
of Miss Gertrude Sargent, of No 323 Greene-ave.,
Brooklyn. who is her niece. Miss Sargent will be-
come the bride OF Oscar Pouch to-day and the
luncheon rendered to her and her attendants
Miss Marian Taber, maid of honor. and Miss Helen
Gleason. Miss Irene Kettles. Miss EsteIla McCoIl
and Miss Elsie McCoII. The young women were
classmates at Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn and all
belonged 10 the same college fraternity the Kappa
Phi. So Mrs. Van De Carr made the luncheon a
green and white affair. green and white being the
fraternity colors.
The luncheon was quite without sensational feat
ures- Rumors had been afoat started by the
knowledge that the bride and her girl friends were
to be entertained in the Tombs, that the luncheon
had been planned in desire for the bizarre and
unique, that 'trusties'-prisoners who enjoy the
warden's confidence and do odd jobs about the
prison-had been whipped into shape as walters
and that the function would close with inspec-
ton of the cells made notorious by the bold. bad
men who have tenanted them.
Nothing of the sort happened. Nothing grew
some, unique or adventurous occurred The guests
were escorted direct TO the quarters of the warden
which though located in the Tombs building are
distinct from the gloomy cells and corridors, and
quite delightful. Luncheon served in the pri-
vate dining room, the only servants concerned
being the Van De Carrs two maid servants. The
table decorations were largely roses and srniax,
and the apartments handsomely decorated
with palms and cut plants. The menu cards were
in the shape Of dainty painted hearts. with cupids
true lovers knots, etc.
Mrs. Van De Carr present at the luncheon
the brideelect and her five girl friends had it all
TO themselves. There after entertainment,
but each OF the attendants carried away with her
the gift OF the bride charming little heart pin
Of pearls and diamonds and green enamel the white

Public attention was directed to the luncheon by
the fact that the future bridegroom Mr.. Pouch of
No. Sl5 Greene-ave, Brooklyn, was recently bitten
by a favorite greyhound in whom symptoms of
rabies were supposed to have developed. Mr. Pouch
