The average pool room in the aver

are good time killers, they are cor

are seductive; and the average one

visited one of the most modernly
equipped pool rooms in the State.
At eleven o'clock there were twenty
eight persons in the room. Most of
them dressed like the average dude,
inhaling his cigarette and belching
up his occasional oath, while few
more were indulging themselves in

GOOD ROADS PAY.

In every section Of this coun-
try where good roads have been
built there has been a marked
increase in the value of farm
inc lands. This fact alone ought
to encourage the people Of Hal
flax county to begin the max
ing of permanent roads. With
good roads it would be an easy
matter to attract desirable pur-
chasers for our surplus lands
and by this means build up our
county and state. We need a
thicker settled population and
when we get the people all our
waste places will be built up
and made prosperous. We
have the climate and our lands
will produce more varieties Of
crops than can be grown in
other sections of this country.
Showing the value Of good
roads over bad ones the Char
lotte Observer says:
at is said that in jackson
county, Alabama, the price Of
farm lands has risen from SIX
to fifteen dollars an acre and in
Bradley county, Tennessee, it
has doubled since the building
of good roads in those localities.
Men seeking farms prefer those
that are located on good roads
and will pay higher prices for
them. With the progress that
is being made in the establish
ment of good roads and in the
knowledge of their advantage
to the owners Of farms the time
will soon come when it will be
difficult to find purchasers, at
any decent price for farms
which are not so located. In
tensive farming, the greatest
yield possible per acre, is the
order of the day with intelli-
gent farmers, and it is spread
ing so rapidly that in the near
future the man who does not
follow this plan will be left so
far behind that he will not be
considered in the class of pro-
ducers. Hand in hand with
these new farming methods go
easy access to markets and
cheaper transportation OF farm
products to centres of trade
These can be secured by those
farms only which have access
to good roads. Great highways
between widely separated sec
lions of the country over which
there can be easy and rapid
travel is a condition greatly to
be desired, but such roads will
not add nearly so much to any
section of the country through
which they pass as will a num-
Der of well-made roads leading
from the centres of trade into
the surrounding farming terri
tory: The latter are the roads
which will build up the towns
and add to the prosperity of the
rIlra1 districts -

in the departments of the gov
eminent, and especially in the

are many beneficial changes he
could and ought to make, but

20 insane as result of brooding over
the shooting affair.
For a day Cigaritz has not taken

He spurned her, however, and showed

think that it was she who had be-
trayed him to the police and he abused
her for so doing.
1t has become known that Michael
Cigaritz did not intend to shoot the
mel he did and the fact that he hit the
men he did was due to his poor marks
manship.
He is being detained in the Jail at
Gary In order that the condition of the
men he shot may be determined. If
they both show signs of recovery it is
possible that the charges against him
will be merely assault with intent to
