Muscogee County In Fine Condition
 Made Good Roada


 Columbus, Ga, Feb. 24.-(Special )- When State Convict Camp Inspector Burke came to Muscogee county this week in his tour of camps through the state he found the Muscogee county convict camp in such fine condition that he declared it to be a mdeI chain gang in every way. Muscogee coun- ty has used her misdemeanor convicts for the past ten years Tn working the public roads and the county now has one of the best road systems in the State of Georgia. What Muscogee county has done in this respct, how 1t was accomplished, and what plans the county has mapped for the future. are interesting, proving an object lesson which other counties of the state can study with profit and also neIghboring counties in the State of Alabama. One Alabama County, Russell, is modelling its road system somewhat after Mus cogee's.
 Ten years ago the roads of Musco- gee county were almost without excep- ton in bad condition. The county commissioners went to work, organized the gang of convicts more thoroughly. bought teams and modern road warking machinery. and in short equipped the gang-with all needed facilities. The convicts were well housed, portable houses or cars being bought which can be carried about over the county at will. Each of these cars contained eighteen hunks. They are pulled about by teams and thus t Is com paratiyely easy matter to break camp. 1 The gang is well equipped with nec- essary stock, the horses and mules be- ing we'll fed and looked after care- fully. The convicts are given plenty of good. wholesome food. and their health is looked after carefully. The l road working machinery employed is 1 modern and when the gang goes over the road 1t looks like ex- cavation work for a railroad, for all steep grades are cut down and hollows l are filled and maeadamiEed.
 There are 250 miles or public roads in Muscogee county, this not including the cross roads. A good portion of

this has been macadamized and all has been permanently improved. The gang IS now working on the poorhouse road, which Is the last to be perma- nently improved by the use of modern machinery Rock. gravel. sand. clay, etc, are used as roadmaking materials. Iron pyrttes were formerly used but Colonel W. L. TiIlman, the member of the county board of commissioners who has supervision of the road-b build Ing feature has least faith In that as a road-making material. saying that
 t is not permanent. The work of macadamizing the remainder of the county roads will be pushed this year. Muscogee county now has the best sys- tenn of roads in West Georgia, and the improvement has all been brought about in ten years time. It is often declared that the ATuscogee county
 reads arc in better condition than the average Columbus street, but of course with the paving of the city streets, which has now begun. this rather re- markable situation will cease to exist
 Inspector Burke complimented the sanitary condition of the Muscogee camp. The camp is kept neat and clean the year round. The gang now consists of forty eight conviets.

 Selma, February 24.
 The Fourth District Farmers' lnsti- ute came to q close herA this after noon after a session of two days. The institute was not as largely attended by the farmers of this section as it should have been, but those who did attend learned much that will prove of advantage to them in years to come. The rain today was beyond doubt the cause of many staying away who would have attended. If the weather had been fair.
 The crowd that attended the insti- tute today showed decided increase over the crowd of yesterday. Lectures on many different subjects were deliv- cred during the morning All of the tened to with the closest attention by thoseSin attendance.
 Probably one of the most interesting lectures delivered during the session of the institute was that delivered this morning by ! T. McNess, the govern ment tobacco expert. He told of the experience that had been undergone In Perry County In the way of tobacco culture and what a profitable crop 1t would prove to the farmer whose land was of the right 5pil to raise the plant. Tobacco under the circumstances would prove a great deal better money getter has been gathered the land could be used to plant crops like peas, etc.
 The illustrated lecture delivered last night by Alfred Gaskill, of Washing ton, was largely attended and proved most entertaining. Many ladies were present In the audience and the views shown were very clear.

BOY KILLED BY CAR
A HoRRIBLE ACCIDENT OCCURS IN
 PENSACOLA.
Tvro Year old Son of MT. and Mrs. w H. Caro- Run Oyer-MOtOrman ExOnerated by Coroners
 IuEy.

Pensacola, Fla, Feb. 24.-(speciaL) -one of the most shocking acidents to occur In Pensacola in many years happened today when an electric car on the East Hill line ran over and horribly mangled little Edwin Caro- the two-year-0ld son Of MT. ana Mrs | w. H. Caro-. who reside on East Jack son Street. The accident occurred al- most in front of the home and was witnessed by a number of persons. who were powerless to save the little ones life.
 The car was in charge of Motormsn Bray and Conductor Riley and was narily rate of speed. The motormah saw the boy some distance ahead, but did not think that he would attempt to cross the track, as he had appar- ently turned to go in another direc- tion. Just before the car reached where the child was, he turned and made an attempt to cross the track.
 The fender failed to be of service and the wheels passed over the body almost severing it. The passengers were mortified at the terrible accident but one of them picked up the remains and carried the minto the house or neighbor, where the coroner later held an examination, eXonerating the motorman from blame. The mother of the child who was very i'll at the time. is now in quite critical con dition.
 Motorman Bray. however, is grief stricken and cannot be quieted. The motorman said: God knows l did not mean to kill that child and If l could bring 1t back to life l would serve a life time in the penitentiary l saw It, it was following some lady It nad hardly. reached the track when it sud denly turned. and ran right into the car. God knows gentlemen, l would never have hurt that little one, for l am a father myself, and love all chil- dren. What diverted my attention right at the time, as my brake was set up. was some ladies crying out Tho next thing l knew the child had turn ed and was hit by the car. Nothing ever hurt me more.
