Road Expert Charles T. Harrison.
of the Office of Public Roads of the

for conference with Parish officials
and leading citizens regarding an OBJ

When Chief Engineer Vernon NJ.
Pierce of the Office of Public Road
despatched Mr.. Harrison on this mis-

he told him to make study of con-
ditions, and after comforting with
the reading citizens of the vicinity to
determins what class of road would
be best adapted to the locality, and
what material could be best utilized.
When that decision has been reached,
the work will be started without de-
lay 1t is understood that the Fed
eral expert will remain on the ground
and be in active superintendence of
the work.
This rapidly awaking interest in
the xetension and maintenance of
good highways is becoming more
generally appreciated as the work of
Director Logan Waller Page, of the
Office of Public Roads, is impressed
upon the public. Good roads are the
salvation of the farmer, and nowhere
are they more needed than in the
cotton growing States. Careful
statistics recently assembled by the
Governments of the United States,
England, France, and Germany prove
the starting-and shameful fact that it
coasts Ii cents a ton a mile more
to haul farm products to market
over the shocking bad roads of this
country than it does over the splen-
did roads of Europe.
If the roads OF the United States
were all as good as the national
routes" of France, the cotton plan
ters of the Southern States could haul
their harvests to transportation
points at an annual saving of more
than $9,750,000.

today. Reports received from many
points state that heavy vote Is being

retired from the field to make race
for United States Senator against
Senator Stone. William S. Cowherd,
of Kansas City, and David A. Ball. of
Pike county, are the principal con-
testants' for the governship. Both
have enthusiastic followings and have
waged hot campaigns in every section
of the state. Unprejudiced observers
declare that Cowherd apparently en-
tiers today's primary in the lead in
popular favor, although it is admitted
that the race will be close.

THE WOMAN WITH THE DISH RAG.
By EDWIN A. NYE.


Do you know what is the most dan
gerous occupation in the world7 -.
1t may surprise you to learn that 1t
is the occupation of housekeeping. So
says DR.. Dickinson Of Chicago, an au-
thority in statistical studies. These
are some of the dangers the house
keeper faces every day
Death by scalding.
By gasoline or gas explosions.
BY falling down dark stairways.
( By heat prostration.
n Sly insanitary sewerage.
BY exhausting drudgery
By>suicide caused by the hopeless
tess Of daily routine.
yhese are not fanciful dangers.
Ea0S Of them. has its frightful statis-
tics OK fatality. AT the battle Of San
tiago. 81 10000 soldiers 300 were killed
Ia death rate of three-tenths of per
cent. The, death rate of women who
keep house is much larger. And,
strangely enough, while modern Yar-
fare reduces the percentage Of deaths,
labor saving devices e the household
increase the percentage Gas and gas
olne explosions areSespecialiy notable
as domestic tragedies.
The slaughter of mothers exceeds
that of the warriors.

there is added to it all exhausting la

Atlanta, Ga. July much discus
sion has been caused all over the state
by the decision of the Georgia legis-
lature to visit Chattanooga, Tenn, as
a body next Friday and Saturday, trav-
cling on a private train furnished free
by the Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis railway. This railroad Is the
lessee Of the Western and Atlantic
railroad, which is state property.
Not Violating Law.
The trip is unique, not only in the
fact that the Legislature has decided it
is not violating the state railroad pass
law, and the interstate commerce law,
because it is travelling ove its own
property, but in that for the first time
in the history Of Georgia the house
and senate in a body from pages up
will leave the state. Chattanooga, il
is understood, wishes to lease part OF
the property of the Western and AT,
lantic for street purposes, and for
this reason the Georgia legislature
goes to that city.
