Good Roads Once More.
Communicated

This is matter Of such Importance to
us that hope that the GOLD LEAF and
it's readers will pardon yet another word
from me touching it, One OF the most
prominent and successful business men
in the county has suggested the follow
ing plan for lettering our roads under
the new bond issue. 1t strikes me as
being an eminently wise and practical
suggestion. 1t is that the money be as
widely distributed over the county as
practicable, and spent on the very worst
places Of road in each neighborhood-th
places that become almost impossible in
bad weather.
These places, usually not very long,
should be we'll macadamized The result
would be that the worst pieces OF road
in the county would become the best.
Most roads are fairly passable even in
winter but for these ''SlOughs OF De-
spond" which this plan of working
would at the start largely get rid of.
Last. but probably greatest, every
neighborhood would have an illustration
Of what a good road is. Every man,
woman and child could compare the ad-
vantages of the good road with the dis
advantage of the bad road, and the ad-
vantage of the good road would be SO
plain that our people would see that
every dollar wisely spent in road making
meant many dollars saved. OF course,
before any macadamizing is done care
must be taken to see that each road
runs just were it ought to be. If it does
not it must be changed and the change
must be made by man trained in work
Of this kind.
Through the sandy parts of the county,
we'll made dirt road, mac adamized in the
bad places, will answer for long time
yet. But in the clay regions the best
made dirt road is almost sure to fail in
bad weather and with much travel. Our
$50. 900 spent in piling clay on top OF
clay will simply mean deeper mud and
be worse than wasted.
4 law should be passed controlling in
some practical and least Oherous man
ner, the width of tires on all wagons,
carts. etc Every inch added to the
width of such tires would mean possibly
a foot saved in the depth OF our winter
mud. O. W. BLACKNALL.

THE MOTOR OMNIBUS.
Comparison of Merits of Electric Car
and Self Driven Carriage.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
In England, where the use of electricity
for the operation of street railways is more
of a novelty than in the United States the
wisdom of the practice is occasionally chal-
lenged. For instance. an engineering ex-
pert, writing to the London Times a few
days ago, expressed the opinion that some of
the smaller English cities which had au-
thorfzed the construction of trolley lines
might in time regret their precipitation
He then proceeded to point out the merits
of the self-propelled omnibus, which is
probably more common in the streets of
London than in New York or other Ameri-
can cities, although still too new to admit
of thoroughly satisfactory comparison
with the electric car.
In at least one respect the omnibus is dis
tinctly superior to its rival In extremely
narrow streets it is less of an obstruction to
drays, cabs and private carriages and is
less liable to be delayed by a blockade than
a vehicle which must follow a line of rails.
The first cost of a motor omnibus is esti-
mated by the correspondent of the Times
as about the same that of the trolley
car, but the latter requires an additional
investment of capital for track. overhead
wire conduit and power house. An ON
nibus line, then, calls for a smaller outlay
to begin with. On the other hand, less
power Is needed to move car than a car
riage which runs on the ordinary pavement
of a street Rails facilitate movement by
reducing friction. Again, vehicle which
generates its own power experiences great
er difficulty in climbing steep grades than
one which derives power from central
station. Finally the trolley has from
two to three times the capacity of the
omnibus Theoretically. if not practically.
therefore, its earnings should be larger.
The contributor to our London cnntern-
porary has undertaken to get a little light
on this last point, but confesses that me
has not been able to obtain much he
iGh hny iS -.t1+
in a nutshell: For the omnibus the cost Of
operation is or 10 pence per mile and
its receipts 13 or IA. an excess ranging from
one-third to one-half. For the trolley
the cost of operation averages 6 pence and
the receipts 10 pence, the margin beirg
two-thirds of the operating charges.

The Modern Business Code

From the Florida Times Union.
For what do we live? We are told in all
seriousness that since wealth gives social
standing, political influence consideration
and power, Americans live to make money
and fail or succeed tested by this stand
ard. Is this true? An eastern contempor-
airy takes leaf from Poor Richards AL
manac and gives us this version for the
later edition:
Ordinarily great fortune is built I'D
like a stone wall-a stone at a time The
young man who declines to lay the first
stone, because it comes so far short of a
wall. Will never make progress in financial
masonry. An immense proportion of the
people of this country live up to their in
comes, laying aside nothing for the tradi-
uonal rainy day. Because they cannot
save $1,000 in bunch they save nothing
The greatest financial kings of the world
have not been above taking care of the pen-
MES even. The great financial institutions
look after even the fractions of pennies"
1t Is true that the bricks are laid one by
one along the foundation line, but. GER
tainly wall is thrown upon wall after the
structure is safe and finally Ossa is pile /
on Pelion till the summit is out of sight
and no man knoweth its height or Ccu sit
upon it for recreation in the afternoon Is
there nothing this life promises us better
than the erection of this wonderful Chinese
wall? 1t is wonderful, we grant but -qhal
is it good for? The builder has been
cramped all his life--he has done nothing
but lift bricks from one level to another.

Chicago's Freight Sideways.

Far below the surface of Chicago's streets
scores of electric locomotives are pulling
freight trains that are taking thousands of
tons of coal into the boiler rooms of. sky
scrapers, without dirt, noise or sign of eff
fort in the street. They are removing tons
OF ashes, and caring for the excavations
from the Easements of buildings in course
OF construction More than this, they are
hauling daily many thousands of tons of
freight which was formerly carried over
the pavements in wagons. On February Is
1900. the company entered into a contract
with the government under which all of
Chicago'S second. third and fourth class
mail matter will be transferred from the
railway stations to the new post office
through the tunnels. A further plan to
utilize the tunnel for mail purposes Involves
the building of chutes connecting the street
corner mail boxes with boxes in the tun-
mel. where The mail can be collected by cars
When the schemes are perfected and
added to the present pneumatic tube serv-
ice for first-cass mail. Chicago will have
the most perfect underground mail facilities
In the world Eight hundred and eighty
tons Of mail VIII be handled in the tunnels
daily, IN special locked United States cars
The system will be in operation by June /

New National Bird.
rom the Philadelphia Ledger


The suggestion may seem radical but why
not depose the eagle and choose a more APP
propriate national bird? The eagle is a bird
of prey, destroying many more useful birds:
he is not beautiful, except when soaring at
great heights, in which distance lends en-
an emblem of the most tyrannical mon
arches in the world. Russia had adopted
him long before our republic was born.
Austria used him so long that he became
Shopworn. Ancient Rome robbed and raw
aged. using him as its appropriate emblem.
In the Continental Congress, when a ma
tional hi selected, the eagle won over
the turi ey by but one vote. Washington
and Franklin favored the turkey as a bird
of peace diStinctively American, not at war
with everything else wearing feathers. in
Guiding its own kith and kin. Why should
a country like ours adopt a second hand
emblem already stained with the deeds of
tyrants and the misdeeds of despots?
Why not adopt the plain, useful, peaceful
and practical American hen? While not a
singer, her lay is pleasing and preferable
to the shrill scream of eagle with its
talons dripping innocent blood The hen is
industrious, unasSumng and devoted to use
funeSs. She is an exponent of the simple
life in all its beauty and seductiveness She
fills our beds with feathers, our depart
ments of the interior with omelets and our
souls with satisfaction. Her eggs bring
millions of dollars monthly to our people,
exclusive of those her owners consume Her
spring chickens, though the spring in
them sometimes resembles rubber, have
fancy price marks attached and are Justly
esteemed. You cannot eat eaglets nor get
rich on eagles eggs
