SPLIT-L0G DRAG A
GREAT ROAD
PRESERvER
Sumter County's Beautiful
Highways Kept in Fine
Condition BY This mex
pensive Appliance.

An Albany citizen, who recently
rode in an automobile over the splen-
did road of Sumter county built year
ago between Smithvillt and Americusa
this morning expressed wonder at the
splendid condition of that magnificent
highway. M
| The road was built by the late RRT.
Christian, former SUPPLEMENTARY of
roads of Sumter county. and has lien
kept in its present excellent conditfbn
by the use of that simple yet wonders
| fully effective appliance, the split-log
drag.
81 wish the Doughtrty county COM
missioners would adopt the split-log
drag in working the roads of Dougher-
ty county, said this gentleman, this
morning. THAT road between Smith
vile and Americas is as smooth, or
even smoother than Broadstrtet's pay
| ing of verified brick.
1t is kept in that condition at little
expense by the use of the split-'og
drag.
1T is the custom of the Sumter
county authorities continued the
speaker, ito drag the roads once a
week. One negro driver with a two
I horse team and a split-log drag covers
fifteen miles of road a day. BY going
over the RAIDS once a week this simple
outfit, therefore, keeps ninety miles OF
road in splendid condition.
J "The sp't-log drag works on very
simple principle. l. cuts down the
high places in the road and fills up the
| low places rough road is caused by
small holes. so tiny that at first they
are not noticeable to passing vehicles
gradually getting larger and larger.
/ The split-1og drag prevents them from
getting larger and larger. 1t fills them
up when they are small. and keeps
! them filled up. So the little holes
; have no chance to get bigger and the
/ road is kept as smooth as a floor with
no chance to get rough. The split-log
drag also packs the earth. and road
on which a sp1it-iog drag is used gets
better and better the older it gets. in
stead of worse and worse as is the
case where the drag is not used.
Il wish the Dougherty county au-
thorities would try the split-log drag
as an experiment 1t would also be
/ fine on our city streets. If the local
authorities would take ride o.
Sumter county road of which l speak
they could not fai to appreciate the
wonderful effectiveness of that simple
and cheap appliance-the split-log
drag. Albany Herald.
The Enterprise has the greatest
}convdence in the board of county
commissioners, but we confess to some
lsdisappointment at their failure to
adopt this simple and cheap device.

City and County Should
- Support Military Company
Does Fitzgerald want a mill

Does Fitzgerald want mill
tary company?
Do we need it?
The Enterprise thinks we do.
Not because the editor OF this pa
per was once the captain OF the

But the editor of the Enterprise
was once the captain of the COM
pany because we believed Fltz-
gerald needed the company.
The government is doing a
great deal for the state military
Now, and the tendency is toward
more perfect organization, strict
decipline and a reasonable provls-
ION for the officers and men who
give a sufficient amount of their
time and effort to maintain and
keep ever ready the military that
appears to be largely ornament

is needed.

now phen there is no time for
organization, equipment and the
drill.
Yes. Fitzgerald wants her mill
tary company, and one OF the best.
One that looks good, and works
good when needed.
The city council and the county
commissioners can afford to make
some reasonable provision for the
local military. We would not adj
wise extravaganza, but they
should be provided a suitable
rendezvous. a place to keep the
property and to meet and drill

ON THE GAMB-
LING EVIL
Gambling Means Blurred
Vision. Weak Muscles
and Shaky Nerves"

The following story from the pen Of
Ebert Hubbard, is applicable to every
small town in the country:
Gambling robs man of rest and
the keen edge of his life is lost in
shuffling the pasteboards All hes gives
to his employer or the world is the dis
card Outside of his play he is weak
inefficient person, and his weakness is
very apt to manifest itself in burden
ing his friends.
eff your gambler is on a salary, he
very often comes around for his pay
before pay day; then he gets to dis
counting his money to a money shark;
then if he can, he will borrow his pay
before he earns it, without first con-
sulting you. He intends to pay it back
oh, yes!
He wins and pays it back.
This encourages him to borrow
more next time. He takes more in
order to win more He is now obliged
to play heavily because his debts are
accommodating.
at is an old story, and dozens of
men in Sing Sing can tell you all
about it.
Zone bad feature of he poker game
is the poker face-the impressive, white
| face, with its cold, sonseless smile. 1t
reveals nothing nothing but untruth.
And the principal reason it reveals
nothing is because there is nothing
back of it to reveal; it does not token
truth, talent, sympathy, kindess, love
or intellect.
"If four men start in to pay poker
with ten dollars each or a thousand
dollars each, it is just a matter of
mathematical calculation before al of
them will have nothing. All they have

midnight lunch, which they would not
need if they went to bed at a reason
able hour.
mo man can play the races contin-
ually and win. John E. Madden, who
has made a million or so out of horse
racing, says that defeat, and nothing
but defeat awaits the better on cards
or horses. Madden has followed the
business for a quarter of century,
and says: L quit betting years ago,
and if ever bet again it be because
the disease has gotten the better of
my business judgment
"The bookmaker gets it all-he has
but to wait and the whole thing is his.
"Do not imagine that all the gam
bling is done in the cities. Man made
the cities,G God the country, but the devi
made the small towns. Hardly vii
1age in America is free from the
scourage.
Gambling means blurred vision,
weak muscles shaky nerves. Loss OF
Sleep, lack of physical exercise, ir-
regular meals, bad air excitement,

and the grave.

.HEIRESS WEEDS A NOBLEMAN
DAILY MILLIONS FOR EUROPEAN
NOBILITY.
Marcus Days Daughter Becomes the
Bride Of Count Anton sigray
of Hungary.

New York, Mar. 29-More Ameri-
can dollars were poured into the de-
pleted Golfers of European nobility
today when Miss Harriet DAILY, the
beautiful and accomplished daughter
OF the late copper king, Marcus DAILY,
was married to Count Anton Sigray,
head of the ancient Hungarian fami-
ly OF that name, at her home on Fifth
avenue.
The wedding was q comparatively
quiet affair, despite the attendance of
| New York's most select" and several
representatives of the Hungarian no
bility. On account of the difference
in their religion Miss DAILY being a
Protestant, and her fiance a Catholic)
| the customary church ceremony with
its attendant brilliance, was supplant-
ed by a quiet but dignified ceremony
at the DAILY mansion, 725 Fifth avenue
Miss DAILY dispensed with bridesmaids
but the count was attended by Mar
quis Pallavicini.
The marriage of this beautiful heir
ess to the Hungarian nobleman is the
elimination of romance which be-
gan two years ago at the wedding Of
Count Szechenyi and Miss Gladys
| Vanderbilt On this occasion Count
Sigray, who is distant cousin of
Count Szechenyi, acted as his best
man. During the reception at the
Vanderbilt mansion, following the
ceremony, he met Miss Daily and paid
her marked attention. For two weeks
he remained in New York and devot-
ed most of his time to the beautiful
heiress during this period. The fol-
lowing summer he met her abroad
and renewed his attentions, and last
summer they met again at the we'd
ding Of Miss Anita Stewart to Prince
de Braganza in Scotland
Count Anton is the head of one of
the oldest and wealthiest families in
Hungary, although, as the count him
self admits, his income is small when
compared with American standards.
He is a large land owner, and, as such
is a member of the house of mag
mates. His title dates back to 1880,
his ancestors being among the mobiles
who helped empress Maria Theresa
preserve her throne. Both his par
ents are dead, but he has two older
sisters living, one being Marquise San
Mayano, who married an Italian and
lives in Rome, and the other Baroness
Schell, who lives in Hungary. AS the
counts wife, Miss DAILY will enjoy the
full privileges of her rank and will
be entitled to entrance at the Buda-
pest court, but not to that of Vienna.
On the other hand. the count has mar
ried one of the wealthiest girls in the
country. Her share of her fathers es-
tate alone is estimated at S2,500,000.
She is tall, striking brunette, and a
talented musician.

dams have proved disappointment,
however, because Of improper con-
struction.
therefore give you my idea OF
constructing such dams, and the same
rule will hold good for any body OF
water or for any height. viz, first dig
trench for dam to solid earth and as
far in the solid earth as at least one
sixth the height the dam is to be. Also
dig trench as wide as dam Is to be
high: dig we'll into bank at both ends.
Now. then, construct the dam In
