Mile of Road Cost $1,000.

All who are interested in good roads
in Maryland are waiting anxiously for
tho decision of the Court Of Appeals on
the appeals taken recently from the de-
cision Of Judge Burke, who declared the
law appropriating 100000 annually Of
the funds in the State Treasury to aid the
counties in building highways to be Con-
stitutional.
IfJudge Burke's decisions is sustained
the actual work Of improving the high
ways will begin as soon as spring wealth
er makes the task possible Should the
Court of Appeals decide that it is uncon-
stitutional to take the money from the
State Treasury for tho purpose cohtem
plated in the bill passed by the last Legis-
lature, nothing can be done toward i'm
pro wing roads in the counties until the
voters of Maryland adopt the amend
ment tu the Constitution authorizing the
appropriat OF This amendment will
come bef.re the voter next fall. 1t will
ia all probability be approved by the
impossible to begin work, for the season
when country roads become frozen would
be cl Sc at hand.
While action of the Court is awaited
with interest. neither the Maryland
Geological Survey nor the Commission
ers in the different counties have been
idle At the head Of the Highway Divi
sion of the Geological Survey is Mr.. A
v. johnson, highway engineer, who has
been officially notified by 10 counties that
they are prepare to take advantage Of
State aid in improving the roads. The
counties are: -
Allegany, Warrington. Baltimore.
Queen Annc's Caroline, Prince Georges
Hartford. Talbot, and Anne Arundel.
The County Commissioners of Cecil,
Wicsmico and Dorchester have also an
nounced their intention of taking advan-
tage Of the law, but as yet have not des
ignated the particular roads which they
wish to have improved under the provi-
siens Of the act. In every case the roads
set aside for improvement will cost more
than the funds allotted, indicating that
the Commissioners in the counties are
| alive to the situation.
Mr.. Johnson estimates that each mile
of road will cost on an average abou,
$4,000 The work Is to be done under his
supervision, according to specifications he
prescribes. Half Of the cost is to be
borne by the counties, aud the money is
to be distributed among them according
to the number Of miles of roads within
heir limits Should any of counties re-
fuse to take advantage of the law, the
money " hch would have gone to them
will lie distributed among the other
counties
Under the regulations provided by En-
| gineer johnson, the roads which the
County Commissioners desire to improve
are first graded and drained. Then Il
foundation of rough stone will be put
down On this will be placed second
layer of stone smaller than the first. The
top of the road will be made of pulverized
stone and the surface rounded in such a
way as to give sufficient slope toward the
sides for the water to run off

Rev. Gum Will Lecture.

Rev. John r. Gum manager
of the Georgia Industrial Home
of Macon Georgia, will give his
favorite lecture, "Wanted-A
Fool" at the Opera House Mon
day night Feb. 20. The remov-
al by death Of the beloved foun-
der Rev. w. E. Mumford left
the 100 destitute children who
are now in the home as a sacred
charge to the pubic.
Mr.. Gum has recently been
elected by the Board of Trustees
as general manager of the
Home.
AS a lecturer he has an envia-
BILE reputation and will use his
talent solely for the benefit of
these destitute children.
Mr.. Gum comes highly en-.
dorsed by the Press of this and
other states. The Atlanta Jour.
nal has this to say of his lecture.
A marvel of beauty in English,
oratory and thought, and a mar
vel of delight in wit, humor and
entertainment. If all the fools
in the world we're such as R~v,
Mr.. Gum describes, they would
be in great demand. The lee
ture was considered by all who
heard it as a great success"
Those who attend will not only
hear a good lecture, but will lend
a helping hand in this great
work.
There are several children in
the Home from here and while
the citizens have helped gener'
ously in this work heretofore the
needs are indeed urgent just
now and every one who can do
80 should help.

Fort Valley, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE
opinion here is that the alberta
crop has been damaged by the
cold to a considerable extent,
but there are sufficient buds left
to insure full crop provided no
further injury is suffered.
It is not thought the other
standard varieties have been
hurt. The buds on the E berta
trees we're much further adj
vauced than those of other va' ie-
ties and for this rea ION were un-
injured by the cold.
The trees themselves have
