TICKET SYSTEM IN SPAIN.
Mileage Books Must Have Photograph
Of the Owner.

The average frst-class fare in Spain
Is about four cents a mile Gust double
the first-class of some American lines,
and with only 60 pounds free baggage)
but with these mileage books, which
are good on all the railroads of Spain,
the fare works out at 2.65 cents mile
for 1,210 miles down to 185 and IL
cents mile for 5000 and $500 miles.
In order to secure these mileage
tickets application must be made at
any of the important railway stations
of Spain at least 4S hours before the
tickets are required. Simple blank
forms to be filled up by the applicant
are furnished at any of the railway Of
fees, and the application must invaria-
bly, be accompanied by a Az by 31a.
inch unmounted photograph of the ap.
plicant. This is glued on the inner
cover of the mileage book. If desired
several persons may use the same
book, but the book must then con-
tain a photograph Of each of these
persons. There is no advantage in
having several names on the same
book; except that if persons are trav-
cling regularly together the trouble
Of making out separate application
and the additional fee for preparing a
separate book for each person is
avoided by making a collective de.
mand.
Second-class mileage books cost
from 1876 cents down to 1.27 cents per
mile, while third-class mileage books
are issued at one-t third less than those
for second-class. In Spain it is almost
impossible, however, to travel third
class. AS a matter of fact even sec.
ond-class is not very satisfactory, for
the reason that the express trains as a
rule are limited to first-class. How.
ever, for persons who do not object to
crowds and slow travelling and long
waits at railway stations second-class
is not impossible. 1t is said that
tourist agents in central Europe either
know very little about these econom-
ical Spanish kilometricr tickets or else
for reasons of their own do not advise
intending tourists to Spain as to their
existence. Perhaps this is due to the
fact that the Spanish railways allow
the agents commissions on ticket
sales.

BEDFORD CITY, VA, January IL
At the December term of the Circuit
Court the committee previously ap-
pointed to examine into the condition
of the county jail, located at Bedford
City. made report to Judge Moffett
condemning the jail as unfit for a
prison, and the matter was referred by
the Judge to the county Board OF Super
visors for Immediate action.
In the interim some very necessary
repairs were made and the prisoners
were kept here instead of being sent
to some other point, pending the action
of the supervisors.
This week a meeting of the official
body of the county was held, and 1t
was determined to build a new jail.
the cost not to exceed $4,000, and
work will be begun as soon as. plans
and other details can be arranged.
There is general approval of this
action on the part of the supervisors.
and the county is to be congratulated
that this reproach is to, be removed
ard that prison on humanitarian
principles Is to be established. The
vigorous measures of Judge Moffett
were very important factors In en-
forcing and cXpediting this step. and
he and the Board Of Supervisors are
complimented upon this much-needed
step In prison reform.
