MILLIONS FOR GOOD ROADS
Provisions Of the Latimer and Brownlow Bills
Now in Congress.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The National
Good Roads Association will meet in
Washington Jan. %, 26 and q. The
arrangements for this meeting were
left in the hands of Mr.. r. w. Richard
son of Iowa, secretary of the associa-
ton, by the association at it's meeting
in st. Louis last April. The principal
object of the coming meeting will be
to attend hearings before the House
and Senate Committees on Agriculture.
and this will be done during the three
days of the meeting. A large number
of prominent men from all over the
country are expected to be in attend
ance.
There are two bills now pending be-
fore Congress extending government
aid to the construction of good roads.
one of them is known as the Latimer
bill, introduced by Senator Latimer of
South Carolina, and the other as the
Observation-Disclosures bill, introduced in
the House by Representative Brown
low of Tennessee, and in the Senate
by Senator Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire. The non-partisan character of
these bills is shown by the fact that
one was presented by a Democrat and
the other by Republicans The Legis-
latures of a number of states, some
Democrats and some Republicans, have
Endorsed the movement and instructed
their senators and members to sup
port whichever bill they consider the
better.
While the bills differ somewhat in
detail the principle is the same-that
where a county or state appropriates
money to be expended in improving
its roads, the government shall allot
an equal sum for such Improvements
on condition that the roads shall there
after be maintained by the state or
county constructing the same. A num-
Der of states already make appropria-
tions to assist the counties and town
ships in constructing their roads, the
cost being variously apportioned. A
popular plan is for the states to bear
one-half the expenses, the county one
quarter and the township one-quarter,
while in some instances the towns are

GRAND JURY GETS
ROAST FROM GARY
DIDN'T LIKE PRESENTMENTS.
HE STOOD WITH THE MINORITY OF
THE BODY.

Judge Gary Mt Augusta Took the PO-
Trying to side with One of the
Political FactiOns-It Wanted to
Separate the Two Offices Held by
Judge Eve-Grand Jury Went Be-
yOnd Its Duty.
Augusta, Jan. 23.-The promised
grand jury sensation came to-day in
the presentments calling upon the leg
islators from Richmond county to pass
laws providing for the separation of
the two offices of judge of the City
Court and commissioner of roads and
revenues, both of which are now held
by Judge w. F. Eve, and the election
of the judge and solicitor by the peo-
pie.
The grand jury also declared its be-
lief that the fund raised by taxation
for Confederate pensions has been
more or less abused, and should be
confined to those who absolutely need
assistance.
Another presentment dealt with the
subject of negro education, and de-
clares that "as the negro contributes
only about $4,000 to the states funds
through taxation, we think that he
should receive only an elementary edu-
cation, reading, writing and arithme-
tic, and when this is done the white
man has discharged his obligation to
the negro"
But there was a minority report,
signed by ten members of the grand
jury, dissenting from the recon-
mendation in reference to Judge Ewes
dual office, declaring that his ad-
ministration as county commissioner
is honest and efficient, that the rec
ommendation by the majority is not
within the duties of the jury and that
the grand jury are non-partisan
campaign assure for either of the two
political parties now trying to gain
control in Richmond county.
In receiving the presentments
and ordering them spread on
the minutes, both majority and
minority reports, Judge Gary
took the last view presented in
the minority report, that it was a po-
litlcal presentment, and gave the jury
a warm roast. declaring that they had
Travelled outside the path of their
sworn duty, and that their recommen-
dation had no more binding force be-
cause they were grand jurors than it
would have if the same body of thir-
teen men had met in the street and
passed a resolution to the same effect
with their presentment. He said
that he would order both spread on the
records, and the people at the polls
would give such weight to them as in
their judgment they deserved.

DEMOCRATS ARE AFTER
MORE PANAMA FACTS
Caucus Agrees on Resolution to Present to The
Senate-Calls on President for Full
Correspondence

Washington, Jan. 23.-The Demo-
cratic senators were in conference for
almost three hours to-day on the Pan
anna question, and when they adjourn
ed it was announced by Senator Cor
man, chairman of the caucus, that the
conference had agreed upon a resolu-
ton to be presented to the Senate ask
ing for all the correspondence between
the United States and Colombia since
the negotiation of the Hay-Herran
treaty.
The fact was brought out in the
course of the meeting that there are
some documents missing from the cor
respondence as published, and the con-
clusion was reached that resolution
calling for all the missing papers would,
if passed and complied with by the
executive, meet all requirements. The
correspondence to be called for also
will cover the period of the recent
Panama revolt and all the official writ
ings on that episode. The resolution
will be presented Monday. The confer
ence also decided upon resolution di-
recting the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations to make an inquiry into
the events connected with the Panama
revolution. Both propositions were
agreed to by all the senators present.
The resolution of inquiry is so word
ed as to call for a statement from
the President as to whether all the
papers bearing on the situation have
been sent in, and if they have not
been communicated and the reason for
failure to communicate them is the fact
that the President believes that to
make them public would be incom-
patible with the public welfare then
the President is requested to send them

Men Who Are Spoken Of as His Running Mate.

was no wonder there had been opposi-
ton to the nomination of Mr.. Roose-
Nelt, when one looks back over the his
tory of past presidential campaigns. 1t
will be recalled that there was criti-
cism against Mr.. Mckinley at times,
and that there was an outburst of it
along III the preliminary period of the
campaign Of 1900, before the delegates
had been chosen to the Philadelphia
Who'll Have Second Place.
Senator Hannas frail health is no
tlceable here this winter. 1t alone
would be sufficient argument against
his entering a vigorous presidential
canvass. He has not been in the
Senate half of the time since Con-
gress convened. His attack of the
grip in New York city has been fol-
lowed by a recurrent attack and he is
now in bed at the Arlington. One
hears nowadays, however, an OCCASION
al suggestion that he may be forced
upon the tail of the Roosevelt ticket.
President Roosevelt is capable of that
sort of a political coup, should he find
the delegates at the Chicago conven-
ton in mood to yield to that sort of
a request from him.
Thus far there has been no very Sc
rious discussing of vice presidential
candidates for either party and no de-
cided sentiment for any particular
men. Ohio, Indiana, or Illinois will
IL all probability furnish the Republi-
can candidate. There are three pos
sibilities from Ohio-Judge Taft, soon
to be come Secretary of War; Sena-
tor Hanna and Gov. Herrick two
from Indiana-Senator Fairbanks. or
Gov. Durbin; and one from Illinois
Uncle Joe" Cannon, Speaker of the
. House. Gov. Durbin and Gov. Her
rick are the two strongest possibilities.
Gov. Herrick was the friend of Nc
Kinley. Men of the business world
have great confidence in him. Some
think he will prove the nominee.
May Adjourn June Is.
The slow progress Congress is max
ing with its legislative business makes
it more than possible that the session
will extend right up 10 the tine that
the conventions are assembling Dem
ocrats may try to force a session be-
yond the time of the convention in
order TO make political capital for the
campaign after the issues have been
outlined in the conventions. Republi-
cans, however, will likely be able to
check that. June Is, one week before
the Republican convention, is regarded
now as the probable date when Con-
gress will get away.

assessed 10 per cent. more. Thus the
burden is distributed so that it does
not fall unduly hard on any of the
taxpayers.
The Latimer and Brownlaw bills pro
pose that up to the extent of 100000
600 per year for three years, the eX-
pense shall be divided between the gen.
eral government and the state or To-
cal government so that where a state
now appropriates 100000 for the i'm
provement of it's roads it would be al
lotted 100000 from the general treas
ury, and where county spends $4,000
1T would he allowed $4,000 from the
general treasury under the conditions
above set forth. The result of the pas
sage of either of these bills would be
that instead of $24,0O0,000 being spent
in the improvement of the roads of the
United States during the next three
years, $4S000,000 would be expended.

JACKSON WILL WORK
BIG CONSOLIDATION,
Plan for the Merger of Augusta ana
Aiken Enterprises.

Augusta, Jan. 23.-James u. Jackson
arrived from New York tonight and
announced that he had completed a
deal by which the control of the Au-
gusta-Aiken Company, the Augusta
Railway and Electric Company, Angus
ia and Aiken Railway Company, North
Augusta Land Company and all the in
terests which Mr.. jackson organized in
and around Augusta are to be re-
organized and controlled entirely by
Augusta parties, with Mr.. Jackson as
president.
A year or so ago Mr.. Jackson COM
pleted a deal by which a majority in
terest in the Augusta Railway and
Electric Company was secured by the
Augusta and Aiken Railway, and now
he has also purchased the minority in
terest, and both companies will be I'M
der one management. The meeting will
be held about Feb. 1, when all of the
changes and reorganization that Mr..
jackson announces will be carried into
effect. The deal required the raising of
about 81 ZOO, 900.

BY R. M. Larner.

Washington, Jan. 23.-National poll
itics of the past week at the Capitol
have figured chiefly on the Republican
side.
There has been a good deal of fid-
ding about instructing delegates to
the Chicago convention, but President
Roosevelt's friends have given the
campaign for instructions a good start
and made the Presidents nomination
surer than ever.
Senator Quay. who has just depart
ed for Florida, gave the Presidents
cause a boom by announcing just be-
fore he departed that he intended go
ing on the floor of the Harrisburg con-
vention, April 6, next, and moving that
the delegates be instructed for Roose-
welt. Mr. Quay has been a tower of
strength for the President, but prob
ably it has not been wholly because
he loves the President more, but SEN
ator Hanna less. 1t is pretty gen.
orally known that the Pennsylvania
senator bears the Ohio senator an an
cient grudge. He never let's an OPP
portunity go by to repay it, and add
a little interest. Senator Hanna re-

sion to mis- seat in the Senate a few
years ago, when there was a terrible
scrimmage in Pennsylvania, and Mr.
Quay had to resort to an appointment
by the Governor. after the Legislature
had failed to elect.
Senator Platt, coming back from the
sunshine of South Carolina, also gave
an impetus to the campaign of the
Presidents friends for the instruction
of delegates by asserting that the del
egates from New York would be in
structed for Roosevelt if necessary.
There are lots of other indications,
that make a part of the political his
tory of the last few days. and which
indicate more strongly than ever how
impossible it is for opposition Repub-
licans to down Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t is
believed that in the course of two or
three weeks enough instructions will
be assured to give the President a
clear majority of instructed delegates.
When that point is reached the carp
ing critics in the Republican camp will
be silenced. Representative Lorimer

ed out to-day that as soon as the NOM
ination is made in the convention,
there will be a closing up of the ranks.

to the Senate in confidence to be used
in executive session only.
The resolution asking for an inquiry
by the Foreign Relations Committee is
directed toward securing an investiga-
ton into the Panama affair, and its
purpose is to show whether or not the
administration had foreknowledge of
that affair and in any way encour-
aged it.
There were number of speeches,
but they related in the main to the
phraseology of the resolutions. There
was, however, more or less reference
to the merits of the canal treaty, and
in that connection several senators ex-
pressed themselves as anxious to Sc
cure the canal. Several went so far
as to say they would vote for the
treaty, but all condemned the meth
DDS of the administration in connec-
ton with the Panama uprising.
Senator Money was among those
who announced themselves for the
treaty. Senator Clay and others ex-
pressed themselves as DESTROYS that an
amicable arrangement be secured with
Colombia, and in this connection hope
was expressed that the government of
the United States would see its way
clear TO accept the proposition said to
have been made by Gen. Reyes that
the United States should pay Colom-
b.a $1o,00o, 900.
Among those who spoke in opposition
to the treaty were Senators Bailey.
Morgan and Tillman. Some of the
speakers who took the opposing view
sharply criticised those who favor the
treaty
There was no effort to secure a rule
for united action on the treaty and
the general opinion among senators is
that there will be no such effort un-
less positive information should be Sc
cured showing the completely OF this
government in the Panama rebellion.

QUIT COFFEE
Said the Great German Specialist.

1t disappoints some people to be told
that coffee causes the disease. But it is
best to look squarely at facts and set
the face towards health, for that's
more fun than anything else anyhow.
A Cincinnati man consulted a Berlin
physician on nervous diseases and
says:
-Four years ago I was an habitual
coffee drinker, having used it for rs
years and being naturally of a nervous
temperament l became almost a nerv-
Gus wreck, greatly suffering from in
somnta, almost constantly constipated
and weighing only 12S pounds.
4 consulted physicians and took
medicine all the time, but had no re-
lief. About three years and half ago
l went abroad and while in Berlin
heard frequently of a great physician,
Prof. Mendel, an authority on nervous
trouble, so l resolved to consult him.
Prof. Mendel surprised me very
much by asking at once if was a cof-
fee drinker. and on telling him 1 used
ii two or three times a day he said:
1T is poison After carefully examin-
ing me he told me there was nothing
the matter with me whatever but
what could be entirely cured in 80
days by letting coffee and other slim
ulants alone and dieting.
Il had a hard time following his adj
vice. I did not know what to do until
I came home and told my wife who
got some Postum. We tried it, but at
first did not like it: then we went over
the directions on the package together
and found we had not boiled il long
enough. That was the beginning of
the end of my trouble, for the Postum
was delicious after that and l drank il
regularly and It helped from the start.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 23.-There were
many new bills in the House yesterday.
One by Mr.. w. L. Mauldin of Green

sprays, snuffs, inhalants, gargles and
local applications of all kinds. They
seem to cure for q while, but the dis
ease is sure to return.
Peruna belongs to the class of ca
tarrh remedies called specifics. Peru
ma does not palliate the symptoms, but
cures the disease. 1t is sometimes slow
in it's action on old cases of chronic
catarrh, but it is sure, and it's effects
are permanent. 1t is also an unfailing
remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis
and consumption in it's early stages.
