THE ROAD QUESTION.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
Why not agitate the road question?
Searsport raises $4,000 for highways
and 81 200 for snow breaking, and has
not many roads. l can look back 40
years, when first came into the town,
and with few exceptions can see but
little improvement since then, especial
~ on the back roads. Something must
be wrong. There is no money so nearly
thrown away as that raised for high
ways. Any time is good enough, and
when there is nothing else to do then
work is done on the roads | believe
the best time is in the spring, or as
soon as the roads are dry enough to
work on. One shovel full Of mud is
worth two of dust or sods \ road
made in the spring, or when the ground
is soft, will last much longer than one
made in the summer. Most of the sur
veyors seem to think they must repair
three or four miles of road at an ex-
pense of $40 or $50 throw in sod here
and shovel full of dirt there, run the
road machine in the middle of the road
and leave the bitches full of water.
Now l think it is a better plan to
build certain amount of good road
each year, letting the rest 60 if pass
able, and i'll this way to get over all the
in,
to keep in repair roads that have been
properly built. And another point: the
roads are not looked after as they should
be in the spring. The old saying that
"a stitch in time saves nine" holds true
here | know of an instance in this
district where two hours work in a
rain storm would have saved an ex-
pense of SO later. Those who have
charge of the roads should be required
to look after them in the spring.
Now as to snow breaking Men go
over a road after a storm with one
horse and a sled-and | have seen it
done with a jumper-and make a rab-
. bit path. II is simply money thrown
away. | believe the time is near at
hand when the roller will take the
place of the snow pillow. Mr.. Editor,
why not set the ball rolling? We are
living in an age of improvements; why
not adopt some of them here? The en-
terprising town of Brooks used rollers
This winter and found them so satisfac-
tory that it was voted to build others
for use next winter. A.

home and was put to bed exhausted and
suffering to such an extent that sleep was
impossible. Every morning he forced him
self with heroic resolution to resume his
work. But the days went by without
bringing him any relief, until it became
clear that even his remarkable will power
could not longer sustain such fearful odds.
His good wife became alarmed and both
began to look eagerly for assistance. They
found it at last by following the advice of a
storekeeper and French weaver whose
sympathies had been aroused.
Told in his own way, Mr.. Hickey's eX-
perience was as follows: "My' trouble,
l think, came from the strong draught OF
cold air that played about my feet at my
six looms. One foot swelled just above the
ankle, and the pain became something
terrible | forced myself to limp about
when | got home and, as soon as l got my
supper, had to go to bed to get a little
relief. Besides the torture in my foot
would have nervous jumping spells, short
ness of breath and pain near the heart.
81 stood it as well as l could for three
months, trying many medicines. but all the
time getting worse, until two friends told
me what wonderful virtue they had found
in DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
One of them said they had cured his
rheumatism and that he considered them
| the foremost of all remedies
"Now | bless DR.. Williams Pink PMS
myself, for the first box l took helped me
and, after l had taken three boxes, the
swelling went down and the pain and lame
ness left me for good have had no trace
of the dreadful illness since. My wife and
/ never fail to recommend these pills to
every one we find afflicted with rheuma-
tiSm."
There is joy in the Hickey cottage now,
for the disease that logged the heels, and
marred the sleep and sought the ruin OF the
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Obstinate cases
of neuralgia, sciatica and even of locomotol
ataxia, have also yielded to the same
remedy, which is specific for all diseases
of the blood and nerves. These pills are
sold by all druggists throughout the
world.

LET US HAVE PEAS.

On March 20 of last year an Augusta
man, George A. Colburn, planted the
first peas of the season. He at first was
in doubt about the result of his expert
ment; but he soon discovered theAtiny
sprouts which became matured plants
and as usual Mr.. Colburn had many
days ahead of his neighbors the first
peas upon his table. The thermometer
at Augusta that day registered 80 de-
grees in the shade, one of the warmest
March days on record and in marked
contrast to the temperature (44) on the
same day of the month this year. Few
peas are likely to be planted in Maine
for some weeks to come.-Augusta New

THE CHURCH OF THE FUTURE.

"The ideal church, says Newell
Dwight Hills in Everybody's Maya
zine for April, sis one noble building,
centrally situated, crowded from Sun
day morning until the next Saturday
night, church that is the centre Of
the social, the musical, the literary, the
ethical life of the community; the home
of light and joy; the pride of all the
people. With numbers comes enthu-
siasm, economy, emulation, efficiency.
When all the teaching forceS-and the
art Of teaching is a great gift, and there
are only few teachers out of two
thousand that know how to impart
Wisdom-are united, the Sunday-school
will again become popular. The great
library of this church and its social
rooms, equal to those of the best club
rooms i'll the great cities, will be the
centre of the artistic life of the town,
where the new painting, purchased by
some merchant prince, Will be ex-
hibited for all to see; where the club
life for young men, the literary life for
young womelf, and the musical life for
all classes will centre. On the Sabbath
there will be a great sermon in the
morning, that represents the thought
and study and prayer OF SIX days and
nights, of man whom God ordained
through his ancestry for moral illumi-
nation. There will be great Bible
school, toward which all the families
will converge. There will be great
choral service in the afternoon, that
will be more attractive than all the
things of the park, or the ball-feld.
There will be a practical address to
young people at night, that will lead
men out of ignorance into wisdom, out
of selfishness and sin into righteous
ness, and the manhood of Jesus Christ"

King Cotton was aroused from his

for the time forgotten as by leaps and
bounds the price went up the scale un.
ill the total advance for the day was
nearly seventy-five points, or three

recent landslide, which buried Sully
has been dissipated, and people out for
the actual cotton are as eager for it as
ever before. While no sales were made
in Americus yesterday, no cotton being
offered, the effect of the sudden ad-
vance was none the less inspiring and
especially to those here who are still
holding their cotton. Several hundred
bales are still held in Americus ware
houses, and the owners of these bales
who have watched patiently for the
price to go back to a figure at which
they could close out, are hopeful of
yet getting more than has been paid
for cotton here this season. Every
bale remaining in the South has been
counted, and full value will be placed
uponit.

AGENT IS HERE TO
RE-RATE The CITY.
Reduction In Insurance Not
Unlikely.
TO a BETTER RATE.
AmerIcus Has the Best Fire Record
of Years Standing of Any City in
the State. and Should Be Entitled
to a Better Basis Rate.

Mr.. Joseph Raine, of Atlanta, repre-
senting the Southeastern Tariff Asso-
citation, which controls the entire fire
insurance business of this territory, is
in Americus, the object of his visit here
being to re-rate the city. Mr.. Raine
will be thus engaged week.
And business men and citizens gen.
orally trust that this re-rating of the
city will result in lower rate of insur-
ance than that now allowed by the
Southeastern Tariff ASSOCIATION.
Americas, it would seem, is certainly
due some concession.
The city is in the second class and
has basis rate of one per cent for
business buildings of brick and three
fourths of one per cent upon residences,
frame structures. Upon this rate other
charges are made for exposure, and ad-
ditional risks to be assumed.
The average total rate is perhaps
81. 80 per 500 in the business section,
though some properties here command
much higher rate.
Mr.. Raine will spend a week here,
as stated, and will thoroughly canvass
the situation.
Americus will compare fire records
with any city in the United States OF
like size, either for one year, five years
or longer. Oar total fire loss in 1908
was only $27S; in 1902 it was about $500,
while since January 1st, this year, the
losses will hardly exceed $3.50.
1t is matter of doubt il the total
loss in the town during the past five
years, all told, will amount to as many
thousands.
Surely such a record entities Ameri-
Gus to reasonable rate.
The city maintains at great expense
thoroughly equipped, wholly paid
fire department, we'll officered and well
manned. The equipment is the very
best to be had, Our water supply is
unlimited and all pressure needed is
available both day and night.
Americus has every right and reason
to expect good basis rating, and this
Mr.. Raine will doubtless recommend
after he has carefully inquired in ex-
listing conditions here.

Zebras Haul Dirt to Improve Jail
Yard

The county road gang was busiIy
engaged yesterday removing dirt from
the cellar of the new Perry & Brown
building on Forsyth street. The build
ers paid nominal sum to have the
clay removed, and the county authori.
ties were glad to avail themselves OF
the opportunity to get this much de-
sired material with which to fill up O
deep hole in rear of the courthouse.
Red clay, easily available for road
building, is worth great deal to any
county and the commissioners here
were very fortuna te in getting this
material so near at hand for the pur-
pose desired. Only two weeks ago the
city council was forced to buy outright
two vacant city lots out on Church
street for the sole purpose of hauling
clay therefrom to make fills in the
street. The Central railroad recently
removed for the Glover Grocery Co.
from its new building site on Cotton
Avenue, several trainloads of red clay
dirt to fill it's track with. Red clay has
value here ard builders lare glad to
get it.
