.DO OVERSEERS OF ROADS SPEND MONEY PROPERLY2 The Age-HeraId Submits ltem- ized List of Expenditures
 For January
l48 SPENT ON MACADAM
 ROADS LAST DECEMBER
Government Expert Says Much of the Road Trouble In South Is Caused By Incompetent Road
 Overseers.

In the letters and complaints which reach The Age-Herald numerous kicks a:e being made against the oyersers of the country roads. This is the office which the Ramsay plan proposes to abolish However, it is justice to investigate the charges, and for this reason the payroll for December of the eight overseers is printed, in answer to numerous calls. It should be given careful perusal by the people of the county, so that If any money is going ill the wrong channels it may be made known.
 It has been intimated that names appear on some of these payrolls for which no person exists. Against the overseer in general, a quotation from the conclusions of w. l.. Spoon, special agent, govern ment office of road inquiries, in a sum mary of the methods of road maintainance in the southern states, might be inter- esting, An enormous waste of labor re- suits from the incompetency of many of the road overseers"
 The payrolls for December, given below are for the month during which $7l4S was spent on the macadam roads alone, ur more than any other month in last year except January. Not cent was spent by these overseers last month on dirt roads.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Power That Governs

"The Power That Governs" is love not money. That is the embodiment of Creston Clarke's play this year. the drama so enthusiastically received at the Jeff ferson theatre last night.
 After his great success in The Ragged Messenger MT. Clarke fully demon strates the wide scope of his dramatic power in the manner in which he inter- prets the part of Andrew Michael a western mountaineer, in "The Power That Governs" The two plays are ut terly unalke, yet the actor handles either with the same grace and ease.
 "'The Power That Governs is a play of the deepest human emotion. The story while not an unsual one is full of in- terest and is perfectly natural. It is entirely devoid of the melodramatie tinge, and the heavy dramatic qualities with the pretty love scenes, dainty and nat ural, make the play altogether. a pleas- ing one.
 Creston Clarke as Andrew Michael is not the least bit unnatural. He takes the part of a rough western young man penned down by poverty and the lack of advantage, but who longs for a chance, and his physique suits the part. In all situations he is equally able; as much so in the dramatic denunciation of his father, who has betrayed him, as in the gentle love match. sIrene Oshier as Janet Winston, In the opposite role to Andrew Michael, was dainty and a very clever little actress. The acting of Cecil Mag nus as Arthur Burke was commend able. Several of the other characters were a trhe weak, but all of the import ant roles were competently carried.
