BIG DECREASE IN

NEW ROAD LAW.
Effect of the Law Being Declared
Void is Explained.

E. 7. Young, attorney general, has
written an opinion for the state high
way commission, explaining the effect
of the law regarding county superin-
tendents of highways being declared
unconstitutional. The letter settles
many questions which will be bother
ing township officers, and is in part as
follow
"When law is declared unconsti-
tutional, it is as though it had never
existed, and everything done under it
is nuility. The "County superin-
tendents of Highways" and 'Town
Road Inspectors are therefore with
out authority, and all road work must
be carried on under the law as it ex-
listed before the enactment of the
chapter referred to.
$50 far as work on state roads is
concerned, the county commissioners
should, where possible, appoint the
former "superintendents' as their
representative to supervise the COM
pletion of work in progress, and they
can no doubt ratify what has been
done by such ''superintendents'' on
state roads.
'sThe town boards must appoint
overseers under the old law to serve
until the next annual town meeting.
A good many of the acts of both
''superintendents'' and ''inspectors"
will be technically invalid, but it is
very certain that all such acts done on
behalf of town or county, will be
validated by the legislature when it
meets. The same is true as to any
moneys earned by, or paid to, any
officer or individual under this law.
The matter should be left in statu quo
until the legislature meets and cura-
tive act can be passed, which will
preserve to everybody their honest
rights.
-. @@."The overseers to be appointed un-
der the old law should, whedever
possible, be the former s'inspectors''
so that they can go on and complete
the work they have commenced, and
make the necessary returns in order
that delinquent road taxes may be
collected. The work of each new
"overseer" will in that way be con-
tinuous with the work of the s'inspec-
tor" which as above stated, can be
''legalized'' by the legislature. No
officer or individual will ultimately
suffer any injustice, tho the neces-
sity for curative act will cause some
delay"

FATTENINd HOGS.
Station AdyiceS Turn.
ing Them Directly Into Corn
Fields.

An interesting report from d. A.
Gaumitz of the neutrality-suspicious.
Experiment station has been received
at the department of agriculture at
Washington. 1t refers to the practice
of turning hogs into field of matured
corn and letting them eat it thus saw
Ing trouble of harvesting the crop and
feeding it out to the swine.
The system is called shogging off
corn.n Prof. Gaumitz says the idea
that this 'hogging off corn'' is shift
less way of farming is based neither
on fact nor good Judgment. So far as
the farmer is concerned, the method
that yields the largest net profit and
the greatest possibility of enjoyment
for himself and family is the best to
follow. When it is learned that corn
may be economically harvested with
livestock and that good timothy and
clover hay can be produced as cheap
ly per ton as corn stalk can be saved,
this idea will change.
These conclusions are based upon
experiments at the Minnesota Expert
ment station during 1906.
The hogs were turned into corn
Sept. 10. 1t is thought that ordinarily
they should be turned in by Sept. 1.
The field pigs took to the hogging
down of corn rather rapidly learning
to do it in about three days, but it re-
quired about week or ten days for
the 112 pound pigs to learn how to
break down the corn and find the
ears.
Hogs thus fed in fields wasted no
more corn than those fed in the yard
In fact they picked the corn as clean
as most men do in husking. The field
hogs, moreover, gained nearly one
third more rapidly than those fed in
yards and produced pork with less
grain.

DOZEN DEATHS
ARE REPORTED
Fatalities Occur in Flood
at Augusta, Ga.
PROPERTY LOSS IS HEAVY

Damage Sustained by Stocks in Busi-
ness Houses and by lnundation OF
Buildings Estimated at More Than
Half a MiIIion-Water Is Slowly Re.
cedine and There Is No Danger of
Further Losses. .....
p Augusta, Ca, Aug. 28.-Tt is re.
ported that about dozen deaths have
resulted from drowning during the
f1ood here. Only one, however, is all
that has been confirmed. The Nixon
Grocery company's wholesale ware
house, the Georgia railroad round
house and a string of coal cars on the
Southern Railway in Hamburg, S. c.,
just across the river from Augusta,
were destroyed by fire. According to
reports here the bridge of the Charles
ten and Western Carolina railroad at
Sandbar Ferry, about three and half
miles below the city, has been washed
away The Georgia side approach to
the North Augusta bridge has been
washed away.
Augusta is rapidly recovering from
the flood conditions. The water on
the streets has fallen until the side
walks are practically clear and there
is no further danger of loss to prop
erty. Considering the fact that eight
feet OF water ran through the main
business and residence streets of the
city, that telephone and telegraph
communication was stopped, that no
train has been within mile of Au-
gusta for forty-eight hours it is re-
markable that there has not been
greater financial damage and loss of
life.
1t is not possible to give an esti-
mate on the financial loss resulting
from the food. An idea may be gath
cred, however, when it is taken into
consideration that every business
house, every bank and store was sub
merged in from four to nine feet Of
water and nearly all the residence
portion, including the fashionable res
idence district of Green street, with
all it's churches, in from three to six
feet of water. With the cessation
from business until the city has re-
covered itself and damage to stocks
of goods of all kinds it is thought that
the loss will 60 well above the half
million mark.
