The endorsement Of Florida sand
for this special purpose is all the
stronger inasmuch as the facts con-

OIL AND SAND ROADS.
Road Problem for Florida Solved Ac-
cording to Opinion of Expert.


cording to Opinion of Expert.
Good roads cannot be had in any
part of the world without expense
We have frequently urged that ex-
periments ought to be made with
crude oil on Our sandy roads. We
have quoted reports showing that
something along this line was being
planned. The Times-Union reports
that an expert from California says
that Our sand is perfectly adapted to
making this kind Of roads. The ar
ticle is as follows:
J. H. McClymonds, recognized as
the leading authority on all matters
pertaining to the use Of what is
Familiarity known as the sand and oil
combination in road building, is a
Jacksonville visitor, and is making
his headquarters at Hotel Windsor.
Mr. McClymonds has made road
building a life study, and his work
on the development of the sand and
oil processes makes him rank as
practically it's inventor. He was
among the first to advocate it's use,
if not it's very first, and his extern
sive experiments preliminarily made,
won him recognition, and an actual
test was allowed to be made.
This was made under Mr.. Nicely
monds' supervision and with him in
full charge of the work, at Los Ange-
les, CAL, the city he was then making
his home. The experiment proved a
success in every sense of the word,
and other roads were then built Of the
same material, the same success at
tended them, and they were then
practically recognized as the best
roads in the country.
The entire satisfaction given at Los
Angeles, where over 500 miles were
built, led to other sections of Califor-
MIA taking up road building along
these lines.
From California the fame Of the
oil roads, really asphaltum roads,
spread to other parts of the country,
and Mr. McClymonds, as the recog-
nized authority on these questions,
was invited to superintend the build
ing, make the first tests, build, in fact,
the first road, and prepare for the
building of others on similar lines.
Louisiana has taken up the ques-
ton in earnest and there Mr.. Nicely
monds has just completed the build
ing of a system of oil and sand roads
that is being highly praised and,
after ample tests have been made,
redeems every promise made concern
ing it in advance.
Florida, according to this eminent
road expert, should be the banner
state of the Union, so far as roads
are concerned, and, if the oil and
sand combination is properly used,
he believes roads will be built here
that will be unequaled anywhere.
Florida sand, heretofore the bugbear
and hoodoo of the road builders, is
the best fitted of all for the app1ica-
ton Of the oil, with the specially con-
structed machines for making roads
of this material. The chemical con-
stituents of Florida sand are such, he
claims, as to make the combination
with the chemical constituents Of the
oil just right for producing the best
asphaltum
This combination hardens to an
almost rocky hintness, giving an ideal
road surface that does not tire the
eyes Of those driving over it in the

viii merely appear as a private assist
ant TO Mr.. Delmas The charge against
MePike Sc that he talked too much.
The only explanation obtainable about
the continued rows among the attorneys
for the defense IS that Mrs. Thaw. sr
and the other women most interested in
Thaw's fate. are demanding more OF
the lawyers than they can give.
Women Easily Alarmed.
Every time there is a setback 10 the
defense there is a council OF alarmed
women, who naturally fear that some
thing has been left undone that might
have been done. When their attorneys
arc questioned along this line there
usually develops a certain amount Of
hard feeling.
IL is also IN open secret that the at
toTncys have not failed TO reproach each
ether for similar failures. Another eIe-
ment OF difficulty is that the Thaw fam
lily are demanding a complete acquittal,
in spite OF the fact that some OF the best
legal opinion holds that q committaI 10
Matteawan is the most that should be at
tempted. The efforts OF the defense to
prove that Thaw was insane when he
killed White. but TO Intimate that ne is
sane nov without any positive evidence
10 this effect makes constant difficulty.
TnaW himself has been extremely res
tive over Dr. Evans relentless analysis
OF his mental and physical condition.
de thinks Delmas proceeded 10 danger
Gus lengths in drawing Evans out.
