Maintenance Of Maeadam Roads.


No macadam road is going to be
permanent unless you keep the coar-
ser stones covered up. A floor will
never wear out -if-you keep it carpeted,
and just the same treatment will keep
the road from wearing out. Carpet it,
patch it, but patch it and carpet it
with the same kind of material as it
is. made of-crushed ,stone-and not
with mud from the shoulders or
bitches. A highway commissioner or
pathmaster who will scrape a lot Of
mud on top of gravel or stone road
ought to be the center of attraction at
the rear end Of four mules standing at
different angles and be kicked into a
cooked hat. to be worn on the head of
some bad roads enthusiast" that the
enthusiast may be known of all men
for what he really is-a Ounce. Every
contractor should be required to leave
at least five cubic yards of stone chips
to the mile. not dust. but chips.
measuring from one-eighth inch to
three-quarters inch, and whenever
there is a depression that will hold a
quart of water put In quart Of
stone and little more. If this is
done three or four times year over
all your, macadam roads you will be
surprised how little 1t costs to keep
them in repair. However, If allowed
to get out of repair you win be as
much surprised to see how quickly
they will so to pieces. The best way
Is. If you do not intend to keep them
In perfect repair. don't ever pay out
the money to build them.

THE WAY OF THE
TRANSCRESSOR
Engineer Stultz of the Seabeard is
Shot and Killed at an Early
Hour in Raleigh This
Morning.

Raleigh, July 1.-B. M. Stultz, Sea-
board engineer, whose wife and six
children live at Roanoke, was shot by

ed, walked distance of four hundred
yards, fell in heap at the Seaboard
station and, despite efforts OF physi-
clans, expired at o'clock.
The dead man was scheduled to GO

Denver, July 2.-Fred B. Lynch, for
for Judge Grey, are out with fresh
statements today claiming that where
as Bryan cannot possibly get over 600
otes on the first ballot at Denver-69
less than the number needed to nomi-
nate-the Nebraska man will not,
regardless of all confident predictions
of friends, be named by next weeks
convention.
They claim, as even many ardent
Bryan men secretly realize, that if
Bryan does not land on the firsl ballot
he will not land at all, and on subse-
quent ballots many States which in
structed for him will break away from
instructions and vote for Johnson, Who,
according to the claims of Lynch, will
show $50 30 800 votes on the first bal
lot.
The statement yeste1 day by Judge
Grey. that he would not permit the use
of his name for President or Vice Pres
ident was not taken seriously here to-
day, and the most interesting OF late
reports is that New York, SO far una BILE
to get together on the ice-Prssident,
will strongly favor Grey for second
place with Johnson.
State Chairman Conners, one of the
m ost active men here, is spreading the
statement everywhere that Bryan can
not possibly carry New York, though
johnson and Grey could carry that
State, as we'll as New Jersey Maryland
and possibly Connecticut.

The PASSING OF HEARST.
Supreme Court SHStdinS MCGlelIaH'S
Right to the MayOfalty in New
York.
(By Special Wire to the AReUs.)

New York. July Mayor George
B. McClellan's title to the office of
mayor of New York city was made
clear by the decision of Justice Lambs
in the Supreme Court yesterday whom
he ordered a jury to render a verdict
that Mcclellan was duly elected mayor
in 1905.
w. r. Hearst has been ontes ting the
mayors rihht to the office practically
ever since the election, and as a result
of his charges OF fraud in the original
count of ballots the legislature passed
law enabling a recount. Attorney
General w. S. Jackson then instituted
proceedings on behalf of the people, in
which both Mr.. Hearst and Mayor
Mcclellan were named defendants.
The recount left Mayor Mcclellan
with a plurality of 1855, whereupon
Clarence j. Shearn, representing Mr..
Jackson, alleged that the ballot boxes
had been stuffed and requested the court
to threw out the entire vote of liz cleo
ton districts in which he charged that
the ballots found in the boxes exceed
ed the number of registered voters.
This, however, was based on an incor-
rect list of voters, add w hen the correct
list was produced today Mr.. Shsarn
said that the registration was greater
than the poll in every disputed dis
! trict.
Justice Lambert declined to throw
out the contested districts. Mr.. Shea rn
then charged that the inspectors had
registered an OK cess mum Der of names,
but said he could not prove repeating.
The justice then declared that the
original count was quite as complete as
the enc made in court, and that the evil
dence, showed no fraud as far as the
election inspectors were concerned. He
said that if legal voters could be dis
franchised SO readily as it has been at
tempted in this case, this form OF gsv-
ernm ent would not end ursl long. II the
jury were to return a verdict against
Mayor Mcclellan, Justice Lambert
said, he would not allow it to stand
and he ordered verdict in favor OF
the mayor, which was rendered. The
jurors were allowed $51O each, having
sat ffty-one days.
