For the genesis of this work,
We must go to France where, as
far back as 1867, the problem was
omade the subject of investigation:
1t was not, however, until 1902
that the work was seriously under
taken, and in the last eight years
a large amount of theoretical and
practical work has been done in
Europe, mainly in France and. En-.
gland. In these countries an al
most exclusive use'has been made
of tar; but here in the United,
States, chiefly because of our
large supplies of oil and its gen
eral availability, oil has been the
medium generally employed. . In
both the Old World and the New,
the results, as noted above, have
been highly encouraging; and in
dlcatiOns are that with our rapid
ly increasing knowledge of the

of road surface will be develop
ed which will stand up better I'M
der the new and severer conditions
of traffic than did the old maca:-
dam and dirt roads. in the days of
the horse drawn vehicle.
The mosts valuable quality in
any dust preventive is. its abil-
ity to hold together the finely d.
vided material which is produced
on or near the surface of the road
The value of any oil, asphalt, en-
ulsiOn or what not, lies, at the
last, analysis, in its binding power,

cOmpacted, its disintegratiOn pre-

is now obtained by the use of

light oils, oil and tar emulsiOns,
and salt solutions. The Temporal

nature only a small amount of

with more or less frequency .ac-
cOrding to their richness, It also
should be noted, however, that
each application of the temporary
binders leaves, or is liable to leav

nous element permanently. in the
road, thus producing a cumulative
effect which in many cases, ulz
timately gives.to the road surface
much. of the qualities secured by
the use Of heavy oils. and tar.
The principal. material used in
the permanent treatment Of roads
with tar are coal tar, refined coal
tar, and water gas. They may be
used very effectively by applying
them to a road already finished,
or by incorporating them in the

surface material Of the roa! dur
ing construction IN applying tR'
tar to the old road, the surface
should be comparatively dry, com
paratively warm, and free from
dust. Moisture prevents the tar
from proper cOntace with stone
and a cold surface Stiffens the
material and prevents its being
absorbed. Before the application
is made, ruts, and hOllOwso should
be filled, and the surface brought
up to a smooth and even cOndi-
ton. The tar, heated to about
100 deg. F., is spread upon the
road through hose or by other
suitable means, and is. then thor
Oughly. brOOmed in. After this
has been done, to secure best re-
suits, the surface treated should
be closed to all traffic for about
twelve hours, so as to give the
tar an opportunity to thoroughly
sink into the surface. Next a
coat of clean sand or stone chips
should be applied. TO absorb any
excess tar, and dry UP the surfac
as it were. The road should then
be rolled thoroughly to bring it
into condition. o
This question of giving the sur
face a twelve. hours rest involves
the difficulty of interference with
the traffic. In mapy cases. the
county authorities after spread.
ing the. tars throw over it top
dressing and permit traffic to
make immediate use OF the rOaC.
This not only prevents the tar
from thoroughly impregnating
the road surface, but it results in
an immense amount of ineOnven-
fence and unsightly. Disagreement
to automobiles and other swiftly
moving vehicles. The best way
out of the difficulty is to treat
one half of the roadway at one
time, reserving the other half for
traffic. Even where a road is so
narrow that traffic would have to
be slowed down to a walk the

Dust Prevention on Public Roads.

Although the problem Of dust
prevention on public highways is
by no means a new one, its inf
pOrtance has been greatly accent
uated by the comparatively re-
cent introduction of the autOmo-
bile. The dust-raiSing tendency
of the latter is due to the deStrucI
tive shearing action of the tires
Of the irving wheels and the In
teuse suction and eddying-pro-
ducing effect of the ear body in
passing swiftly over surfaces al
ready IoOsened up by tire action.
In the days of the hOrse-drawn
vehicle, the iron shoes of the
horse. and the tires had a tenden-
cy to consolidate rather than ZOOS
en- up, the surface of a well-made
macadam road, and the compare
lively small amount of dust which
gathered could be sufficiently
laid by one or two daily trips of
the watering cart. The advent, Oi
the automobile, however,, has com
plieated the problem greatly and
it has become necessary not mere
ly to find more efficient means
for laying the dust, but to pro
vide also method of road con:
struction which will more firmly
bind the road material together;
and enable it to stand up under
the extreme conditions which the
automobile has imposed.
The work which has been done
during the past elgnt or Ten years
in this direction has provided US
much valuable data on the action
Of dust preventives, both as to
their temporary effect in laying
the dust, mad their more mpOr-
tant action as permanent binders
of the materials of which the
roads are built up. Generally
speaking these results are high
II encouraging; for it is now I'M

NEW YEAR GREETING.
Rev. A. q. B. Powers TO the Members Of
His Several Congregations and
Christians Everywhere.

the Lord: This day, January /,
1910, being the birthday of new
year, and the 64th anniversary of
the advent of your humble ser
want, the writer, into this world
of pain and pleasure, I am led to
ask the indulgence of the Editor
of the Fulton County News, to al
low me through the columns of
his excellent paper to address to
you the following thoughts:
First, l want to say to the mem
bers of the churches of my
charge, that l thank my Heaven
ly Father for the preservation OF
my life throughout the year just
past, and hope to enjoy our labors
together as pastor and people dur
ing the year just begun.
Now, as we have come to this
the beginning of another year,
let US consider that there hath no
temptation taken US, but such as
is common to man; but God is
faithful, who will not suffer us to
be tempted above that we are
able; therefore, let US strive to do
Gods holy will in every way pos.
slble. There are many ways to
do his will-some of which 1 wish
to mention. Let US read and
study his Word, and pray to him
for his grace to help US obey his
Word, which teaches US to love
Him, tor He is love; and that we
should love each other as he has
loved US. And, in order to love
each other, we should be willing
to forgive each other their tres
passes, that our Heavenly Father
may forgive US ouy sins. If there
be any malice or hatred IN oul
hearts, let us throw 1t all away
forgetting the things which are
behind and reaching forward t.
the things which are before. LIE
US press toward the mark. More
over, we can do his holy will BY
faithfully attending the House O.
God, where we can worship hin
together according to his Word
/ desire that all the mem bers
of the different churches of my
charge be faithful in attending al
the means of grace-the preach
ing service, Sunday school, Chri:
tian endeavor, song and prayer
service, &C., working out you
own salvation with fear and trem
bling, and in this way our high
may shine before others, tina
they may see our good works
and especially they of our owl
household. Oh, fathers, moth
ers. What kind of an exampl
dQTe set before our children
Is It such an example that whel
we are gone to our graves tina
our children will rise up and Cal
US blessed? Now, in conclusion
let me say, that / hope that all o
our beloved zion who may chsnc
to read these few lines may b
interested; and, also, those 0
other denominations who have s.
kindly appreciated our Christian
fellowship will continue faithful
: to the end. Then some swee
; day we will be gathered at Hi
great white throne, where ther
will be no separation. Let th
wicked forsake his way and tur
unto the Lord and He will hav
mercy upon HIM.
