SaWduSt Roads In Florida.

They are making roads Of sawdust,
mixed with earth, on new plan in Leon
County, says the Florida Times Union.
Two ridges of earth are thrown up with
a road machine at the required width
from each other. and the space between
is filled in with 6-inch bed Of saw
dust. This is followed with a smaller
machine, which ploughs up and mixes
the earth with the sawdust. This
makes roadbed on which the tires Of
the most heavily loaded vehicle make
no impression. The contractor. has kept
an accurate account of expenses in con-
nection with this section of sawdust and
earth road, and says the cost aggregates
1927 mile. showing it to be about the
cheapest road material in use. 1t may
be suggested that sawdust is not q
durable material, but the True Demo-
crat meets this objection with the
statement that one or two such roads
were constructed in a South Georgia
county 20 years ago and are still in good
condition. showing its durability. AS il
well known, Leon County has a clay
soil.

That troubles never come singly. is
peculiarly illustrated in the case of Mrs.
Edward Harris, of near Spence. A
few months ago her husband was COM
PEELED TO go to the State tuberculosis
Sanitarium for treatment, and he is
still there. About two weeks ago, Mrs.
Harris, who has lost one eye, was
driving wire staple when the staple
flew from under the hammer and struck
her fairly in the other eye. One of the
points of the staple was as sharp as
knife. and her eye was so badly injured
that it was thought she would lose the
sight of it,sbut hopes are entertained
that she will not be so unfortunate.
On Monday she went to Philadelphia to
be treated by one of the greatest eye
specialists in the country. He knew
Mrs. Harris when she was a hospital
nurse in Philadelphia, and having learned
from one of her former classmates of
her recent misfortune he sent for her
TO come to him for treatment.
The revival meetings still continue
at the Christian Church. Last Sunday
there were interesting services during
the day. A special offering was taken
toward meeting the obligations of the
church in the morning, and in the after
noon there were interesting talks by
Messrs. p. d. West and Cyrus Holt
from Perry Hawkins Church. They
were pioneers in the work of the
Christian Church in this part of the
State and gave interesting reminiscent
ces of their experiences. Rev. ID. N.
Middlekauf gave an account of his ex-
periences in western Maryland, his home
land, and at p. M. Rev. j. A. Hopkins
gave discourse to children on 1.-THE
Two Ways" With a chart he showed
the dangers of the broad way and the
blessing of walking in the narrow way.
The house was well filled. There was a
baptismal service at p. NJ. Tomorrow
Sunday there will be service at 10 A.
NJ. and the special meetings will con-
tinue in the afternoon and at 7.30 p. NJ.
throughout the coming week.
One of the most embarrassing things
an editor has to contend with is the dis
position of people to wait until the last
moment of going to press and then rush
in with their items which they want
in this week sure" This is particularly
the case with those who wish to make
announcements which they expect to
have inserted gratis. People do not
reflect upon the fact that the paper is
made up during the whole week and
that its capacity is limited to just so
much and the matter guaged according.
If the editor should await the convent
ence of those who have something they
want published he would not get his
paper out until the next week and then
he would have to delay two or three
days until some kind friend had made
up his mind about notice he wants in
but which he hasn't been able to pre-
pare just TO suit him. A great many
people don't get their notices published
in consequence of this disposition to
put off to the last minute, but those
not interested ncvcr notice the omission;
the paper appears on time and the
world moves on just the same.

Teachers Meet In Snow Hill.

On Friday of last week the teachers
of Worcester County convened in Snow
Hill by order of County School Super
intendent Z. w. McMaster, to consider
the new course of study recently issued
by the State School Board and to plan
for its adoption into our schools. AS
this new course is a more comprehensive
one than that heretofore used, State
School Superintendent NJ. B. Stephens.
called on each County Superintendent
to bring his teachers together. for its
consideration. Accordingly. all the
teachers of the State will soon meet in
their respective county-seats for this
purpose. Each teacher was given an
opportunity of expressing his or her
views as to whether the new course
needs modifying. and in what way.
Superintendent McMaster. after con-
sidering these various opinions will use
his own judgment in the matter, taking
into consideration the greatest good of
all the schools.
While the new course of study entails
more work and preparation on the part
of the teachers. they will undoubtedly
meet the requirements so that Worces-
ter County schools may still hold their
good record of the past.
AS suggested, the teachers formed a
County Teachers Association, with the
two-fold purpose of the improvement
of their schools, and the better pro-
lection of their own interests. For the
remainder Of this school year they will
study carefully the new course so as to
give it an intelligent and fair trial next
year This means many extra hours
of study and preparation on the part of
the teachers.
In regard to their own interests, it
was decided to institute a vigorous
campaign at this time in presenting to
the patrons of the schools and to the
people of the county generally such
facts as to the teachers small compen-
sation for the heavy work required as
will secure for the teachers more just
salaries. The fact that teachers Of
the first grade receive no more than
those having the second grade seems
an injustice to those who have been
at more trouble and expense to Sc
cure the higher qualifications of first
grade. Especially are the teachers in
terested in securing the increase of
salary to teachers of long and success
full experience in teaching. which was
granted by the last session of our State
legislature. 1t seems that although the
law is mandatory upon the Board of
County School Commissioners that they
shall pay these increased salaries, they
could not do so. because sufficient sum
was not levied for that purpose.
The officers of the County Teachers
Association elected for this year are !:
President, E. C. Fontaine Vice-Presi-
dents, A. c. Humphreys and Miss
Nettie b. Carey; Secretary, John S.
Hill Treasurer, Harold B. Scarborough.
A committee to take charge of the
campaign for larger school appropri-
ations was named as follows Messrs.
John S. Hill, E. c. Fontaine. A. c.
Humphreys, and Misses Nettie b. Carey,
Ella X. Scott and Julia F. Bratten.
This committee is to direct the work of
the teachers in this line throughout the
county. Superintendent McMaster in
speaking for this movement assured the
teachers of his hearty support and good
will.

REV, HENGEll nv ''pnE.

At the K. of G. hall last Thursday
evening Rev. II, c. Hengell, Chaplain
of the University of Wisconsin Catholic
chapel, delivered an address entitled
The Church and the Labor Problem.
The speakers central idea was that the
betterment of the condition of labor
must come through the uplifting in the
moral character of the units that COM
pose society, which work is the primary
object of the church, rather than
through the changing about of institu.
tions and other external things that
with human seltishness in full play no
mere enactment of laws can insure
more equitable distribution of the
earth's material wealth. The clergy
man has pleasing presence and address
and his thoughtful discourse was well
delivered. The lecture WAS one of a
series arranged by the K. Of G. state
lecture bureau. More will follow dur
ing the next few months.
