LAS the public Is aware. there have
been two cases pending in the courts over
this matter. One was in the supreme
court in Auburn and was to have come
up at the September term. The other case
was before Judge Whitehouse at Augusta

decision. Messrs. Libby and Gross came
to us and made an offer for settlement
and we accepted it. They are now at
liberty to go ahead and build the road,

considerable work will be done on the
road this fall in the way of grading. build

ID Building Trades Re-
ported in Many Cities,
|FNij Cities Show a Total
Gain Of "a Per Gent.


Chicago, Sept. 12.-Perhaps nothing
has come to light recently which better
illrstrat IS the fact that the country is
prosperity than the reports from so Of
the largest cities of the United States
on the building operations during
August These figures show stupen-
dous increase of 81 per cent. over the
corresponding month Of a. year ago.
The building trades, first to feel the
effect of any financial depression. are
in turn prompt to respond to a revival
of business conditions. They are bar
ometer which is unfailing in it's truth
fulness concerning financial and indus
trial conditions.
During the month just closed permits
were taken out in so cities, according
to official report to Construction News,
for the construction of 1851 buildings.
involving a total estimated cost of $5s,-
140,011, against 1880 buildings. involve
ing s43,s22,1O1 for the corresponding
month a year ago. an increase for the
month closed of 1880 buildings and s14,-
$3.50, or "a per cent.
One of the Most significant features
of the situation is the fact that out of
the 50 cities only II show decreases,
while 50 have remarkable increases,
clearly indicating the buoyant condl-
tions all over the country. The in
creases are SO general and so large
that it is scarcely worth while to at
tempt analysis, while the decreases
are in cities which have shown re-
markable activity in building hereto
fore and are so widely scattered that
they have little bearing upon the stu
alton
The most significant decrease prob
ably is that in Chicago. where in
August, 1908. permits were taken out
for 922 buildings, involving total
cost of 1854, $50, against 1894 buildings
aggregating in cost. it is estimated,
$4,SO1 $50. for the month just closed,
decrease Of about Is. per cent. but
the fact of the matter is that the in-
crease for the preceding months of the
year has been upon such an enormous
scale that lower level was to be ex-
pccted, inasmuch as the totals for 1909
arc now upon par with the entire II
months of last year. There is nothing
particularly depressing in this state Of
affairs.
On top of these remarkable figures
for the last m;nth, as additional evi?
dence of the return of prosperity, come
the official statistics ON buildings all
over the country during the calendar

A NOTABLE FAREWELL
Given DR.. Cook as He Leaves Chris
tiansand on the Oscar u.

On Board the Steamer Oscar II, Sept
l2.--Eia Wireless Telegraph Via Chris
tiaaSanG.-Dr. Frederick A. Cook,
whose arrival yesterday at Christian
sand was greeted by salute of sever,
guns from the fort by the special order
of King Haakon and who was the OBJ
ject of the greatest enthusiasm during
his brief stop here. was given notable
farewell when the Oscar II steamed
out of the port. He was welcomed
aboard the Scandinavian Liner by
more than 1000 passengers who crowd
ed the decks, headed by Capts. Molle1
and Hempel with all the ships officers
in full uniform.
The anchor was weighed immediate
ly and the Oscar II sailed down the
Fjord, accompanied by a score of ex-
cursion steamers, with bands playing
the national airs until the open sea was
reached. The liner was gaily decorated
and a splendid suite had been reserved
for the American explorer, who not
withstanding the experience he has
gained recently in meeting crowds OF
enthusiasts, found some difficulty in
making his way to his quarters. AT
lunch DIR. Cook joined freely in the con
versation of the passengers. among
whom was Benjamin F. Trueblocd
president of the American Peace Soci-
ETY..
The explorer was compelled to relate
further incidents of his polar trip. He
told of a report that was current among
the Esquimaux last year that dirigible
balloon had sailed over Greenland, and II
was thought that Walter Wellman had
made a start for the pole. The Esqui-
meauX, he said, described cigar-shaped
balloon with comparative accuracy. but
as nothing further has since been ascer'
tanned about 1t it was to be presumed
that the natives had been mistaken.
During the afternoon DR.. Cook held 9
reception which was attended by all the
passengers.

naming neutral urges the elimination
of all personal feeling.
Fiala. the explorer reiterated his
confidence in DR.. Cook, saying that
Pearys story tends to support rather
than detract from the Brooklyn mans
claims.
Heated discussions over the relative
merits of the two explorers goes on
undated throughout the United States
and in Europe. Dispatches from Paris
indicate that France would not be
averse to acting as mediator in the
dispute, being peculiarly fitted for this
task as an unprejudiced nation.

WHY IT IS "ARkANsAW."
Tho Razor Back State Named From
the Arkansas Indians.

Since the appropriation for the new
ba ttleship Arkansas appears likely to be
authorized and plans are already under
way for the construction of the huge
fighting craft. it is time to give the world
at large the true pronunciation of the
most often mis-pronounced name of any
state in the Union. From effete and cru
dite Boston to the rough and uncouth
Rockies. Arkansas is persistently miscall-
from sheer ignorance, says a Little Rock
(Ark.) dispatch to the Kansas City Star.
1t is well. therefore. that the world
Know the Arkansas by it's true name as
well as by its fighting powers. and the
true name is pronounced as though spelled
Arkansaw. Not only do historical au-
thorities grant that this pronunciation
IL the only correct one. but a resolution
passed by the Arkansas legislature makes
It the only correct pronunciation.
To many persons Arkansas sounds and
looks just like Kansas with couple of
letters prefixed. But there is vast diff
ference in the origin of the names and in
their pronunciation.
Historical authorities agree that the
name Arkansas was derived from the Ar
kdnSd lfluldHS, triDe OF DeautlIulty Dulit
and warlike redskins found dwelling on
THE west bank Of the Mississippi River by
the early French and Spanish explorers.
BY the early settlers the territory was
universally known as Arkansa. or the
land of the Arkansas meaning that por-
ton of the country inhabited by the In
dams of that name. The Indians called
themselves by many different names
but were generally known by the one
name Arkansa. This was what .he great
