GOOD ROADS.

In the course of q tItcl n
Congress o few days before the
aajoprnment, Congressman John
H. Bankhead, of Alabama, de-
clard that 1.-THE amount of money
it takes to haul a ton five miles
on our dirt roads will pay the
freight for $50 miles on a railroad
or 500 miles on o river and 200
miles on the lakes. These figures
prove conclusively the enormous
tax levied by the bad roads on the
farmers. and how much of their
legitimate profit is consumed in
hauling from the farms to the
railroad station, river landing, and
to the towns and cities, Not only
have the farmers suffered great
loss on account of poor roads, but
the people 10 the towns and cities
who depend upon them for their
supplies have suffered also

$40 FOR A NAME.

The Deem Realty & improvements Co.,
of Waycross, Ga, will pay ten dollars
to the person sending the best name

Deem Company purchased Offerman

prosperity than living remotely and
alone. Send all names to the Deem

New York continues to push it
self'up towards the clouds. Plans
were a few days ago filed for a new
office building, the Singer, that is
to raise its tower to the hight of
forty-one stories. From the top
of the tCwer to the sidewalk the
distance will be 625 feet. There il
no church spire in America that il
nearly so tall If the Washington
monument were set alongside the
Singer building its apex would be
seventy feet below the top of the
tower. Where is New York going
to stop with it's tall buildings!
Will it go on until it has office
forces working 1000 feet ill the
air?

SLANDERER.

The slanderer is serpent with
a characteristic human head,
coiled in the grass striking with
az arrowtipped into the the bleed

with his venom, with his shiny,
slippery folds, add his noiselesa
crawl, with his deadly coil and
fatal fang is the only fit emblem
of the man or woman who stabs

and envy and prejudice are the
sac Of poision under the SLAM

his deadly fangs and which pierce
your good name. Love and hon.
OF never engage in this vile bust
ness, but the slaDderer is a total
stranger to the noble instincts of
the human breast.
He hates his superior or he has
no regard for truth and honest
reputation for everything about
him.

nothing better to do than to graf

.sRlCHEs WITHOUT Tell"
A Cornell Professors Advice to the
Graduating Glass.

In the course of his commencement
address to the graduating class Of Cor
nell University the other day. President
Jacob Gould Sehurman paid especial at
tention to what he considers 1.-THE vice
of the age" which he described as the
desire of men to accumulate wealth
without having to undergo that toll by
which alone wealth is created. 1t may
be broadly claimed that this desire-to
get something for nothing, to get rich
quickly-is as old Ms the human race.
1t is responsible for the speculative and
gambling spirit that have manifested
themselves through the ages. There
was gambling at the foot of the cross
for the garments of the crucified Jesus,
and those who cast lots on that occa-
sion were animated by the same desire
for gain without toll which moves peo-
pie Of the present to take chances and
dosdishonest acts for quick gains.
1t lie President Schurman's opinion,
however, that the get-rich-quick idea
is higher and Of more pernicious devel-
opment now than ever before. Says
he Among the rich and well-to-do
business and professional classes, graft
ing has been SO common that the very
idea Of commercialism has become a
by-word and a rerroach Financiers,
capitalists, corporations, may be the
most conspicuous sinners; but equally
guilty is the merchant who cheats his
customers, or the lawyer who shows his
clients how to circumvent the laws, or
the scholar who glorifies his patrons
success in business irrespective of the
methods by which that success was
achieved, or the.preacher who transfg-
ures the ruthless oppressor and robber
