ACTION OF BOARD ENDORSED.

There are some of the citizens OF
the County who have been prone to
censure the Board of Supervisors for
their recent order for the erection
and maintenance of an iron bridge
across the Tallahatchie River, claim
ing that it is unnecessary burden
upon the taxpayers, and that there
is nc pressing need for an inlet to
Greenwood territory.
We are of the opinion that the
authors of such criticism have spo-
ken rather hastily and have not
investigated the matter before
expressing their views. For We can
hardly understand why and how a
conscientious citizen could entertain
objections against an ordinance that
most enhances the welfare of his
community, that will bring into
Greenwood and this end of the
county a massive volume of profit
able trade. And surely it is easily
seen or proven that the expenditure
will reap a large amount of revenue
that will reimburse the county for
the expenditure. AS it is now many
thousands of dollars from this strip
of territory are drifting into the
markets and treasures of adjacent
counties because the advantages of
fered them by those counties are
superior to ours. But with this ad-
dition and the excellent trade facili.
ties and high market of out city will
change the current of trade from
that strip to Greenwood.
The Board of Supervisors are
elected from the voters of the respec-
tive Beats Of the County to serve
their interests. They are to
order those things that will embet-
ter the welfare of their constituency
and to prohibit those things that
will impede progress. We think
that in passing their late ordinance
for the construction of the bridge
across the Tallahatchie River they
have done their duty in serving the
better interests Of their constitu-
ency, and that later on their action
will be commended by tho entire
county.

MILEAGE REGULATION UPHELD BY HINES.

Upon the request of the Georgia
State Railroad Commission, Special
Attorney James K. Hines has given
an interesting opinion in regard to
the complaints made by the travelling
public as to the exchange of mileage
book coupons for straight tickets at
railway agencies. Attorney Hines
holds that the railroads regulation
for the presentation and exchange
of coupons for mileage is entirely
reasonable.
Attorney Hines was asked by the
Commission to furnish an opinion
upon the right of a common carrier
to expel a passenger who had failed
to comply with its regulation re-
curing the exchange of mileage
coupons for a ticket.
Attorney Hines says that carriers
OF passengers may eject from their
conveyances all persons refusing to
comply with reasonable regulations.
He says that the present mileage
book arrangement is reasonable, be-
cause the purchaser enter into a
contract with the railway company
selling the mileage book. One of
the terms of the contract is that
coupons from these mileage books
will not be honored on trains ex-
cept at non-agency points or at sta
ton agencies not open for the sale
of the tickets.
The purchaser, says Attorney
Hines, gets a reduced rate and he
is bound by the terms of the special
contract. He says in conclusion
that the arrangement has already
been submitted to and approved by
the State Railroad Commission

to diminish and pass away.
A Massachusetts manufactures Of
brushes recently made a discovery
in Maine which supplied him with
material exactly suited to his pur-
pose. He went to the Pine Tree
State to buy wood for the backs Of
hair brushes and the handle of shaw
ing brushes, and CHANGED to visit
the yards of a spool maker who was
using white birch. The spool man
took the white part of the wood on
", and was throwing away the red
hearts. Thousands of cords had
been burned or dumped in the lake
to be rid of it.
The red hearts were exactly what
the brush maker wanted, and at lit
tie more than the expense of freight
he supplied his factory.
This is typical of the trend of
manufacturing. Waste of wood is
decreasing. What one factory can
not use, another turns to profit.
Formerly mills threw away half the
forest-tops left in the woods, saw
dust dumped in streams to pollute
them and destroy fish, slabs burned
in perpetual bonfres, and defective
logs and low grade lumber aban-
doned is not worth moving.
This policy does not generally
prevail now. Some mills have put
in machinery to work up their own
by-products, others sell their waste
to manufacturers who can use it, as
in the case cited in Maine. The
properties and uses of woods are
now subjects of careful investiga-
ton, and the problem of turning to
account the odds and ends and the
by-products is brought more to the
front now than formerly.
The United States Foreign Ser
vice has taken up this study in CON-
prehensive and systematic way. In
vestigations of the woods of particu-
lar states are being conducted, usu-
ally in cooperation with states con-
cerned. The plan, when fully car
ried out, will include every com
mercial wood in the United States,
now fewer than 200 species. The
properties of each will be investi-
gated, its hardness, toughness, elias
ITCHY, durability, weight, fuel value,
size of tree, regions where grown,
the common means by which it is
known in different localities, and
other matters of this kind. A his
tory of the woods used in the past
will be given, and on account of
present uses; together with sugges-
tions, for a wider range of useful
ness in the future by pointing out
in what capacities it will serve best
and be most valuable.
