ton having been selected for macadamiz
ing this year. embracing between seven
and eight miles With the law passed al
the last Legislature providing for bond
issue, the proceeds of which are to be de-
voted to improved roads, Cecil county Is
at last making substantial progress in the
matter of good roads. While the number
of miles built each year is, owing to the
cost, not very great, in the aggregate the
mileage built under the provision of the
$aoo, 600 bond issue, combined with that
laid ont by the State for construction, will
place Cecil we'll to the front in the matter
of permanent highways.
In addition to this two or three of our
most progressive farmers who have taken
sections of dirt road to repair are giving
the road drag a practical test. and the
promise is that the near future will see
wonderful Improvement in our roadways
as result of the general use of this
simple device, which has accomplished
wonders in every section where it has
been persistently used in connection with
road repair.

REAL LITERARY LABOR.
Example of Charles Dudley Warmers
Infinite Painstakins.

Example Of Charles Dudley Warmers
Infinite Painstaking.
The extraordinary pains and patience
with which Charles Dudley Warner
did his literary work are shown in an
account given by writer in the New
Amstel magazine of the strenuous way
in which Mr.. Warner produced an
obituary notice some years ago.
Professor Edward L. Youmans was
close personal friend of Mr. Warner,
and on that account when Mrs. You
mans died the editor of a daily paper
asked Mr.. Warner to write sort Of
personal appreciation of her. This he
consented to do.
He was left alone from 10 a. m. until
half past IL, when he went to lunch.
Returning at o'clock, he worked
without interruption until o'clock.
when he turned over to the editor
what he had written.
Yet the work was not complete. Mr..
Warner read the first proof and in sue
cession three revised sheets.
Each time he made change after
change in phraseology. seeking out the
one right word, while even In the
nicely Of paragraphing he seemed to
make clearer what he desired to ex-
press. Nor did the close revision end
with the marking of the last proof.
After the paper had gone to press
and the first sheets had been brought
up to the composing room for an o. K.
Mr.. Warner looked wistfully at the
editor and observed:
would you object to lifting the
form? see sentence in the last
paragraph that might be somewhat
changed. She was too good, you know,
to have slovenly tribute,paid to her."
Even the printers refused to get an
CRY over the delay, and forthwith the
form was sent up and changes went on
for an hour. At last, though publica-
ton was delayed fully two hours, the
editor, but not Mr.. Warner, had the
supreme satisfaction of knowing that
the work was as nearly perfect as hui
man art could make it, and the edition
was sent out.

smoothed the Sea.

A gentleman aboard a steamer rum
ming between Southport and Blackpool
approached one of the sailors during
the passage and remarked to him:
1--WE have very smooth sea this
morning. 1t is like sheet Of glass.
You don't always have it like this?"
mo, SIR" was the answer, "but, you
see, they knowed as how you were
coming today, so the authorities at
Southport telephoned to the corpora
ton at Blackpool, and they at once
ordered out the steam roller and rolled
the sea down for the occasion. That
is why it is so smooth" Tit

''This administration has achieved some
things; ithas sought, but has not been
able, to achieve others; it has doubtless
made mistakes; but all it has done or
attempted has been in the single, con-
sistent effort to secure and enlarge the
rights aud opportunities of the men aud
women of the United States.''
What the President says about playing
the game with loaded dice has plainly re-
ference to the great trusts and monopolies
that have bought Legislatures and have
their representatives in the hall of Con.
gress in Washington; and he probably
has reference to the boycott and the
blacklist which are the loaded dice re.
spectively of the labor trusts and of the
employer.

FIRST NIGHTS
The Way They Affected Some Famous
French PIaywriahts.

The first night with authors is view

wrights. Sardou's nervousness was
well known. Dumas fills was never
able to preserve his sangfroid. As
soon as the curtain rose Dumas pere
would betake himself to a restaurant
and dine from as many courses as his
new piece had acts. His son reported
on the success of the piece. At the
first representation of '"Toussaint Lou

tedious that he went to a cafe and
read the papers. Balzac when he pro-
duced Resources de Quinola" spent
the day ia selling tickets at rate

Paul de Kock, seated in the orches-

his piece and made so much noise that
his neighbors demanded silence. Cas-
mir Delavigne remained at home.
Alexandra Sonnet went to be shaved

The barber had finished one cheek
when the author cried: "Stop! Here

What's a Merchant?

There is a difference between a
"stOrekeeper' and a merchant"
While the former is sitting on the
counter, or in the back end of the
store, chewing the rag" the latter is
''hustling for business" And he gets
it.
He takes a space in the newspaper
and sends a message to the people
through it in every issue. He uses ev-
cry legitimate means to get the adj
vantages of his goods and prices be-
fore the people. He hustles-and
keeps everlastingly at it,
Not so with the "storekeeper." He
is a "has been" though he is the last
one to recognize a fact that others
have long been talking about.-S,. Pc

THE WORK AT THE EVERGLADES

Governor Gilchrist has returned
from an inspection of the work going
ON at the Everglades, and makes the
following report:
The trustees have four dredges at
work. These dredges are making as
much Roadway as could be expected
With the amount of money on hand
the trustees could not possibly push
the work any more than it is now be-
ing pushed. The money for accom-
plishing this work is derived from the
sales OF land made on the installment
plan. At present these installments
are not sufficient to warrant the trus-
tees In building and operating any
more dredges. The mnOey derived
from taxation has been held up. as the
case is now pending in the United
States court. With the amount of
money on hand and in sight. as much
progress is being made as could be
reasonably expected"

TERRIBLE TIMES IN OHIO

Some years ago the country was
startled by an outbreak occurring at
Akron, Ohio. in which an Infatuated
mob, wild with passion, killed a num-
Der of negroes and maltreated many
more, without stopping to inquire
whether they were innocent or guilty
of any heinous crime.
At a still later period Springfield,
ILL.,, witnessed terrible scenes of the
same kind.
And now pandemonium reigns in
Cairo, Ill. A negro boy, suspected of
numbering a young white girl, was
strung up to a public arch; the rope
broke and then five hundred shots
were fired into his body. The body
was then burned. Women, frenzied
with rage, took part in the proceed.
ings.
In the south, when lynchings occur.
the innocent rarely fear danger. The
men engaged in the business do not
lose their heads. They proceed in an
orderly manner and are sure of their
victim before harsh measures are re-
sorted to. Numbers sometimes are
suspected, caught, carefully examin-
edd, and turned loose until the guilty
one is detected. If he is not captured
there is nothing doing"
