Conservatism is. indeed, the word that
stands out prominently In all the weekend
literature of the commission houses. Dick
Bros. & Co. say: "The highly erratic char
acter of the market does not commend it to
any one who has the slightest regard for
conservatism. That there will be further
sharp advances in stocks especially selected
by pools and plungers Is quite likely, but
we regard the long side of the market as
dangerous, and we cannot advise buying,
except possibly on drives. and then for
quick turns"

The immediate future of general securi-

Looking still further, there are reason-
able uncertainties as to the money sttua-

The forcing OF specially stocks to high

GOOD ROADS

Nothing becomes a necessity
until it's absolute need is felt,
and it is not strange that good
roads were not classed as a
necessity until lately for, people
have just begun to appreciate
what a costly luxury bad roads
really are. In the past the
isolation of country life, the few
and poor schools and the mud
holes in the roads were accepted
as q fact, and as facts are hard to
overcome, but little exertion was
spent in attempting to alter con-
ditions. OF recent years, how
ever, hand in hand with the
educational wave, q movement
for good roads has spread across
the entire country, and in the
South especially, has q deter
mined campaign been entered
upon for good roads. Conven-
tions have been held time and
again to discuss the best meth
DDS, road making has been de-
monstrated, and much helpful
literature been disseminated.
This has aroused among the
people generally an earnest
demand for good roads and they
have everywhere either placed q
special tax upon themselves or
secured appropriations from
county boards and police juries
for that purpose.
Az yet, though, while funds in
various amounts have been
provided, a satisfactory system
Of expanding these funds to
obtain results has not been det-
ermined upon. Different COM
munities have different ideas,
which Is even the case where
adjoining counties or parishes
have absolutely the same forma-
ton; but they practically all get
the same results, bad roads.

Death Of Fitxhugh Lee.

S0SSc .
Yesterday friday Major Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia,
was stricken with apoplexy while
on a railroad train travelling from
Boston to Washington, and died
last night in the latter city. His
death will cause much sorrow
throughout the country. but
particularly will his loss be felt
in the South. whose people
entertained towards him the
warmest sentiments of affection.
Gen. Lee had been success
sively an Indian fighter and an
instructor at West Point before
the war between the States. At
the outbreak of that war he
joined the Confederate forces
and attained the rank of Major
General, succeeding to the COM
mand of the Cavalry forces in
the Army of Northern Virginia
in which "Jeb" Stuart and Wade
had won such distinc-
ton. Later he served with dis
tinctiOn as Governor of Virginia,
was appointed by President
Cleveland as Consul General to
Cuba and was continued there
by President Mckinley who
later appointed him Major Gen.
eral in the -Spanish-American
war.
. It is not necessarily q certif-
cate of high personal character
to say that one was a nephew of
the i~llustrious Robert E. Lee,
but in this case by character
and achievement, as well as by
Of blood, Fitzhugh Lee
made good his kinship to the
great American chieftain and
idol Of the South. He was pre-
eminently q soldier and at all
brave and dashing, but his
most brilliant work was done as
the head of Stuart's immortal
cavalry on the battle-ields of
old Virginia. His heart went
with his sword when he resigned
from the Military Academy at
West Point and cast his fortunes
with those of his own people,
and his record in that war will
constitute . story that in future
sges will hold children from
play, and old men from the
chimney corner"
But in all positions Of life he
his part well, and
hat part was . large one in the
history Of American public life.
His ideals were high, his con-
,eption Of duty was lofty, and in
svery relation Of life he proved
himself worthy Of the great
name that he bore. In many
respects the immediate families
md successors Of great men are
Unfortunately situated. Always
n the public eye they cannot
escape criticism if their deeds
should not conform with the
general idea Of what should be
Of those in their station.
Gen. FitEhugh Lee met in
very aspect the requirements
= one who occupied 20 exalted :
Itation. No scandal ever ct
'ached to his record; the name Of
Lee was not besmirched g Z
result Of his wearing 4, but on
he contrary, he but confirmed
he general impression thst his

yer graced American ~, or
