huOOr Oflngs US tUe Gepolt tua'
there is still move on foot to try
and cut # part of our territory to
form q new county with strip OF
Aiken and Ossrgeburg counties. We
can scarcely realize how our people
could ever bring Themselves to the
point to agree to vote themselves out
of the old county into a new one,
when past experience shows that
the taxes will necessarily be in
creased. The formation of any new
government, whether large or small,
necessitstes the expenditure of money.
That is stubborn fact that cannot
be thrust hastily aside even by the
most ardeot advocates of the forma.
tion of new counties. The people of
the recently proposed new county
of North Augusta realizing this
importan; fact refused to form q
new county by u two-thirds majority
vote.
The people of our county had
better take warning from the action
Of our friends over near the Savannah
river. They have acted wisely and
We would do yell to follow their
example. By consulting the CON-
psratise tax lesies and expenditures
Of the old counties and the new ones
We will find that in that there will
be q strong argument against the
formation of a new county. One OF
the gressest problems before our
people DOW is that of reducing the
expenses of our government. That
question is at present engaging the
best thought OF our country and to
add the additional expense of small
counties will but put Us farther from
the solution of the question. There
fore, modern improvements makes
il each day Of less importance that
we should be in calling distance of
the Court House. Distance is being
gradually diminished by time saving
Inventions. With bstter vehicles,
better roads, steam railwaya, elec-
ssic railways and other new improve
snents distance counts little. We
can live twenty miles away and con-
duct what business is necessary at
the Court House over the phone, 80
what difference does it make if We
do live some distance from the county
seat. Y is true that everybody is not
provided with phones, railroad facili-
aeies or good roads, but as matter ef
fact more phones are being put in
all over the country. We have but to
read the daily papers to learn Of the
rapid increase in the construction OF
railroads and as to better roads, it
we would put the money 10 roads
that it will cost to create new coun.
ties, We will have all the good roads
we need. % the other hand if We
20 to forming new counties We will
never have any money to put on
the roads or anywhere else.

READ THE BOSTON GLOBE.
Reasons Why Two New England Pa
pers Are UnrivaIed Favorites.

Nothing is too good for the readers of the
Boston Sunday Globe, ana consequently dur
ing the past Is years of its existence it has been
without a rival. This is not due to accident. 1t
is due to the fact that the sunday Globe has
made successful effort TO meet the Intelligence
of the New England family. 1t has done so.
Through its editorial page, a unique feature
wherein hundreds of distinguished men and
women have contributed strong, sane and
broad ideas.
Through a staff of distinguished writers UNI
equaled by any other journal IN the country.
BY special departments for all readers re-
gardless OF sex or age, such ms the Household
Department, which is a free exchange for all
women who wish information on any subject
pertaining to the home: health and beauty
page containing the most up-to-date instruc-
tons.
BY illustrated fashion articles written and
illustrated by experts, and by whole page
for the children.
BY nearly two pages of complete stories
BY an Every bOdy's Column where every read
err is entitled to express his opinion.
by color supplement, the first established
in New England, and still far IN the lead.
No wonder then the Sunday Globe has moved
upward and onward from 100000 circulation III
1885 to 3l329O in February 1904.
For the same reasons the Boston Daily Globe
maintains ITS supremacy in New England
daily journalism. The Daily Globe prints an in.
stalment of Il serial story every day. 1t also
prints complete story every day. A Boys and
Girls Department every day, Il Household De-
partment every day, one of the best poems in
the English language every day, puzzles. Jokes
and comic pictures every day. In its peoples
Column and its Peoples Lawyer" il has two
invaluable bureaus of Information. Its news
departments are easily ahead of all COMPETE
tors. Therefore ii has the largest circulation
in New England. and a larger circulation than
any other two cent paper in the United States
Read the Boston Globe every day in the year.

Japan and Her Ruler.

When in 1869 the young milIado. the
present emperor of Japan, stepped out
from his palace at kyoto to make a royal
journey to the present capital, Toxic, it
was the first time that the japanese peo-
pie had seen their sovereign since five
hundred years before julius Caesar was
born. In 1872 he travelled from Yokohama
to Toxic by rail, and when the train
moved off with the young emperor there
rang out a melody which thrilled all
hearts. 1t was the national anthem of
japan, whose music was first heard when
savage tribes were hunting on the
Thames and on the Neva and when Rome
was l. istrcss of the world.
The mikado, who as a boy knew al
most nothing of the existence of Europe,

The Greatest Bridge In America.

one of the greatest deeds ever wrought
in stone and steel in the new East River
bridge recently opened.
The new bridge is forty per cent wider
and one-siXth longer than the older
Brooklyn bridge, and the traffic capacity
is more than twice as great; or If 3OO,-
900 can be crushed across the old bridge
in a day, then nearly two-thirds of a mil
lion viii be able to swarm across the
greater structure. Yet the cost OF the
new bridge is less by $500, 900, and the
time of building less by five years. These
facts mark the march of engineering
knowledge and experience in fifteen years
The total length of the new bridge Is
1900 feet, "A mile and third of double
decked steel roadways soaring one hun
dred and thirty five feet above tidewater
hung from steel towers three hundred and
thirty-five feet high -Four trolley tracks,
two tracks for elevated trains. two drive
ways two foot paths, and a cycle path
are laid in the one hundred and eight
teen feet of width. three times as wide
as cross street of New York. Twenty
thousand tons of dead weight pull at the
granite anchorages before "A car or pas
sengers crosses, compared with fifteen
thousand tons of material striving to
pull the older Brooklyn bridge up by the
roots.
Experts say that no possible strain
can break down the bridge, and that
when the old Brooklyn bridge has crum-
bled away and nothing Is left but the
granite towers, the new bridge Will still
be open for business" Skeleton steel
towers are substituted for granite monu-
ments at the ends of the other bridge,
a seeming paradox when the Pennsyl-
vana railroad is spending millions to
replace steel bridges with solid stone to
make more permanent way. Much
added strength is in the four cables,
which are eighteen and quarter inches
in diameter. against fifteen and three
quarters for the old bridge. The diff
ference is slight to look at but Impress
i've when seen beneath the steel jack
citing which hides the most wonderful
and delicate achievement in all bridge
construction.
1926 separate wires, each strung separ-
atey across the East River while one
hundred and forty men spun the huge
steel rope This daring band of work
men bound twenty-sX tons Of steel wires
into this cable web each day, each wire
thirty-hve hundred feet long, and only
three -siXteenths of an inch in diameter,
scarcely bigger than heavy picture wire.
Five thousand tons of steel were fash
toned thus into four cables the thickness
of q stout tree. and the strength of each
little wire, tested beforehand, became
part of a mighty harmony of effort all
pulling together, yet the power to bear
its gigantic burden was no more than
the united endeavors of thirty thousand
picture wires" The four cables cost

or course, a great deal depends on
you own taste in the matter of newspa-

serves up so much gore and so many

away to buy the Tribune. If, however,
you are looking for a daily history of the

presented in the most attractive form

purposes. In this, however the German
government differs from the person who
suffers from stomach, liver or kidney COM

money experimenting with this or that

any medicine will cure him quickly the
