THE Levy Court of Sussex county
is on the right track as to better
roads for the largest county in the
State, and if the resolution adopted
at its meeting last week Is carried
out promptly, a law practical in its
workings should be evolved that
will give to the whole county bet
ter roads in the very near future.
Briefly, the idea was to have the
attornery for the Levy Court to
draw up a bill for presentation to
the Legislature looking for the per-
manent improvement of the roads,
by giving State aid to each district,
which shall be equal to the amount
it shall raise by taxation, or contri-
button in one year for permanent
Improvement Of the roads. The
aniohnt now raised in some dis
tricts for a special she'll tax is to
be considered. This would give
every part of the county a chance
at the better roads, and eliminate
the opposition which now prevails
largely, because seven-tenths of the
county will never see the improved
roads built at public expense, but
of which the taxpayers must bear
their proportional part. Let the
new law be drawn and enacted at
the earliest possible date.

THE experimental horticultural
school at Jackson, Ala, where the

has much, it seems to us, to recon-

thing eminently useful, and that
may be made profitable as well, it is
a great improvement over football
in the saving of risk to life and
limb.

THE Legislature has been doing
a lot of work this week,and among
the lot the House passed the new
school law which provides for the
rural consolidation of school. It
was passed only after a vigorous
fight on the part of the opponents;
but if it can get through the Sen
ate, the new law will revolutionize
the methods of public education.
The graftersthe rural school clerks
who find petty pickings in selling
wood and doing odd jobs for the
schools, are the main opponents of
the measure; they don't want to
give up their small teat, and are
willing to sacrifice the good of the
children for their narrow inter
ests. A brief summary of its pro-
visions is as follows:
The bill provides that four or five
districts contiguous to each other shall
consolidate, and that q modern and |
well-ventilated, lighted aud heated
building Of more than one.story, fitted
mp with modern plumbing, shall be
constructed, taking the place Of the
scattering frame shanties Ofthe present
day. These schools shall be equipped
with al the graded departments OF a
city school from primary to high, and
The teachers therein shall hold daily
sabiHet meetings for interchange Of
ideas.
All the children resident in the dis
ricts 60 combined shall be conveyed to (
be schools In ali weather in covered {
nd comfortable omnibuses.
Pupils are not obliged to leave their
I'm homes. but are educated for the
'untry life to which they are born, d
ID there is obtained 3 far higher de- 1. l.
zee Of proficiency and equipment.

Investigation of the Standard
Oil Company recommended by the
President in the unequivocal COM
mand to "begin at once, go to the
bottom and report early" is going
to prove a test of strength of the
United States government that has
seldom been equalled. The STAN
dard Oil Company is one of the
most powerful industrial and fnan-
cial institutions in the world with
ramifying interests in banks, rail-
roads, lands, and great insurance
companies, and when the United
States undertakes to investigate
this company, it is not to be imag-
ined where the work will end. The
resolution, however, introduced by
Representative Campbell, of Kan
sas, and which has given that here
tofore obscure young man fame in

lar imagination already quickened
by the magazine and newspaper ar
ticles that claim to have been expo
sitions of the conditions in hegreat
trust organizations. Mr.. Camp

iponse to all interviews asserts that
le has the material in hand to prove
every charge which he made before
Commissioner of Corporations Gar
ield and that these he believes, will
make action by the Department of
Justice and imperative requirement.
Whatever the end of this investi- I

The Empress Dowager of China was
sold into slay cry at tt 9 age of eleven,
to save her family from starvation.
Afterwards she was pre- sented to the
late Emperor, and, upon his wife's
death, became Empress. Her feet were
never bound, and she was taught to
read after persistent pleading. The
sterling qualities of this wonderful
woman, like those of Pillsbury's vitos,
have overcome every obstacle. And
she holds herself at the head of China,
as does vitos at the head of breakfast
foods.

AUTOMOBILES ON HIS FEET.

French Inventor Can Travel 25 Miles
an Hour.
Parisians were startled recently by
seeing a big booted man whizZing
along Avenue Champs Elysee and Bots
de Boulogne at the rate of rs miles
an hour. 1t was Constantine, inven-
tor of motor boots, displaying his new
footwear.
The boots resemble tiny automo-
biles, Is inches long, fixed on high
boots. Each has four rubber tired
wheels, eight inches in diameter. Ac-
cumulators are carried in belt. They
transmit by wires one and one fourth
horse power to each motor. The mo-
tors can be run at a speed ranging
from six to 80 miles an hour. Each
boot weighs 16 pounds, but as the feet
are not lifted up the weight does not
matter.
Constantine claims to have Travelled
several hundred miles with them. He
intends to travel from Paris to st.
Petersburg on them. When asked
what happens if one motor started at
the rate of six and the other at the
rate of 80 miles an hour, he became
diffident and declined to discuss the
subject.
