SOIL SURVEY is BEING
PUSHED IN STATE
Sumter Now the Field of
Operation.

Soil survey work in the state of
Georgia is being continued in Bullock
and Sumter counties. Mr.. G. NJ.
Mooney has charge of the work IN
BULLOCK county, and he is being as
sisted by r. B. Hardison, w. c. Byers
and D. D. Long. In Sumter county
the work is in charge of Mr.. J. C
Britton, formerly connected with the
Agricultural High School at Americus.
Mr.. Britton was detailed by the de-
partment of agriculture to assist IN
the organization of the work there.
Mr.. Britton is assisted by Mr.. F. S.
Walsh!
The work in these two counties is
undertaken in compliance with the re-
quests which have been made by
prominent officials of the state OF
Georgia that soil surveys of EACH one
of the Georgia counties in which one
of the district agricultural high
schools is located should be completed
ait a nearly date.
Soil surveys have already been com
pleted and published for Cobb and
Tiff counties, and surveys of Pike and
Hancock counties have been complet-
ed ard the reports will be ready for
distribution at an early date.
A soil survey of Franklin county

1t is the intention of the Bureau
of Soils of the. U. S. Department of
Agriculture to continue the soil sur.
vey work until detailed soil survey
has been made of every county in
which a high school is located.

Columbus, Ga, February 22.-It is
understood that before long the con-
struction of the new steel bridge to
be built across the Chattahoochkae
river at Columbus by the Central CT
Georgia Railroad Company will be in
actual progress, as the contracts for
both the material and the construction
work have been placed.
The American Bridge Company, Of
New York, received the contract &c
build the bridge but the contract for
the concrete work was awarded SEN
arately. The New York company will
build the different steel sections Of
the bridge according to the plans and
specifications furnished it by the en-
gineering department of the Central,
of which, Mr. G. K Lawrence. of
Savannah, is, in charge as chief en-
gineer. The bridge will thus be ac-
tually built in the north, so far as
the superstructure is concerned and
the steel frame will be shipped to
Columbus ready for erection.
The present number of piers will
be doubled and the new bridge will
thus be decidedly different from the
Old structure. Some of tn epresent
masonry piers will be used, although
all of them will be strengthened, ana
the new piers will pe Of the latest
concrete-type construction. The new
bridge will of the girder type IF
structure, and in some respects, ow-
ing to the shCot dista ncbeteeenw
ing to the short distance between the
piers, will be fundamentally different
from the present river bridges here.
Various estimates of the cos tof this
work have been made, but none of
them of an official character, but it
is understood that the actual cost will
not be under $4,000 o$75,OOO, and
not over 100000, in any event.

SUPT. AND HEALTH
OFFICER GETTING DATA
Board Will Probably Pro.

1t is quite likely that at the March
meeting of the Board of Education ac-
ton Will be taken toward the intro
duction into the public schools here
of the system of physical examination
of children that is being adopted
throughout the country, and that
has been in successful operation in
a number of cities for the past year or
two.
Supt. Miller aSnd DR.. Wade Cham

curing data for a report to the board
at the forthcoming meeting on the
experience of other cities along this

the system is in use, as we'll as the

will have in hand mass of informa-
tion by the meeting of the board
and will present it in such shape that
the members can readily determine
for themselves exactly what has been
achieved elsewhere along this hne
The reports so far in hand are said
to clearly indicate that wherever
adopted the system of inspections by
competent physicians or by some mu-
nicipal health officer, has been found
to bring immediate beneficial results.
Parents are generally found willing
to heartily cooperate in eradicatine
ills that interfere with the progress of
their children and hamper them in the
battle of life.
In some cities arrangements have
been made, where the parents are
too poor, to have the necessary atten-
tion given to the child afflicted in
this way without expense to the par
ents. Fortunately, Americus is prac-
tically devoid of a very poor class, and
there would be few, if any, calls of
this kind.
The presentation of the report Of
Supt. Miller and DR.. Chambliss will
be awaited with great interest by
THE members of the Board and the
public generally, 1t is quite likely
that the reading of it will be followed
with a resolution providing for the
Introduction of the inspection system
in the public schools here. 1t would
probably only be necessary to make
an inspection two or three times
year. The first inspection would be
a Thorough one, and after that the in
spections for the year would be
more quickly done.
Nothing that has been done in the
educational world has attracted sc
much favorable comment as this sys-
tenn Of, inspection. The result to the
men and women of the future is re-
garded as likely to be of so highly
beneficial nature that a distinct ad-
vance will be seen in the general men
tai and physical character. In the
mere matter of THE removal of ada
noids, thousands of children are un-
questionably being vastly benefited

out by the discovery of their condi-

The Fire on High Street.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
During the last few days the city
has been reused, as never before in its
history, by the great loss of life and
suffering caused by the fire on High
street.
The enormous loss of life caused an
nually by accident-that 1 mentioned a
few weeks ago while considering Muir
der by Acknowledging suddenly been
pressed home to the public mind by the
terrible disaster. Had what | said at
thai time been regarded this calamity
would never have occurred.
Between the negligence of our, public
officials. the delays and the laxity of
our courts, the legal machinery of cor
porations and liability companies, and
the avarice and greed of employers of
labor, enormous numbers of employees
are killed and wounded every ear, for
under the above combination it is
cheaper to do so than to adequately
protect life.
Both city and State officials seem to
be responsible in this matter. Some
hold that since the department of labor
was organized, on September 1, 1904,
that all responsibility was removed
from the city officials. In the General
Laws Affecting the City of Newark"
beginning on page S02, you will find the
laws regarding fire protection up to
1906 and a great deal is said about the
powers of the city government. If the
organizing of the department of labor
annulled the powers of the city govern
ment 1t should be stated. The fire laws
referred to are most explicit.
Certain it is that there has been
criminal neglect on the part of either
city or State officials or both. Will

moved from office? We will wait and
see.
In this case we have the neglect Of
public officials manifested in its most
criminal form. Tits bad enough TO see
a large city with almost every law and
ordinance on the books violated in re-
gard to the liquor traffic, just to pour
money into the Golfers of about twelve
rich brewers who control about so per
cent. of the saloons, but such a calamity
as this demands that public opinion, as
it is now aroused, stay aroused until
we have better work from our public
servants. Such conditions are simply
intolerable.
Will the employers of labor who put
help to work under such conditions be
brought to justice?
If any of the families who have lost
members bring cases into court they
will likely find themselves up against
a set of corporation lawyers or an out
ft from a liability company, and, with
the delays of aw and legal technicali-
ties, 'contributive negligence" etc,
they will get very little out of the
cases.
If I am informed correctly, at the
time that the High School children were
killed by the wrecking of a trolley car
Indictments were brought in against all
the members Of the board Of directors
of the negligent company and the mat
ter stopped there.
1t is not going too far to say that the
public demands at this time thai the
guilty parties. whoever they may be,
are punished to the full extent of the
law. j.. A. SOLANDT,

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:

But as L'Aiglon, the young. son of

equal of our W American actress,
Maude Adams, in my judgment, for she
is too old to impersonate the unfor-

Bernhard is and has been a great
actress, but the Bernhardt personality

GRATITUDE.

Gratitude is the nothing that we give
for something. Anything more than
that is compensation or restitution or
reciprocity. But, as most people look
upon gratitude as something more than
nothing, we are usually satisfied with
the gratitude we receive and mistake
1t for no gratitude at all, and hence we
look upon most people as un%grateful.
The best example of pure gratitude
Is q dog wraggling his tail after re-
ceiving a bone or a pat or a back rub.

it's the best the dog can do.--Life.

a FISH AND GAME CODE.

IT 4 is understood that a large number of bills will be introduced
into the Legislature this winter to amend the fish and game
laws of the State. In every Legislature for many years these
bills appeared and some were passed, until the fish and game code
of New Jersey became a hodgepodge that nobody could understand.
The fish and game interests of the State are important enough to be
conserved by the proper kind of laws, and there will be no proper
laws until a code is prepared by responsible experts and adopted
by the Legislature. Last winter the Legislature was asked to
legaIze the hunting of deer with dogs. No sportsman would make
such a request or would favor such a law. The bill represented
only the interests of the pothunter. A similar bill has been pre-
pared for the coming session. 1t would be we'll for the Legislature
to provide fer Il commission to frame a code that will preserve the
State fish and game and be satisfactory TO men of the gun and rod.

NEW r POPULATION INCREASED CITIES.

TT n New Jersey, the same as in other principal States, the growth
of population by the census this year is nearly all in the cities
and large towns. The total population of New Jersey has not
vet been announced by the census bureau, but it is approximately
two millions and a half. In fifteen cities of the State the census
shows IN aggregate of 13S6, 1875. Thirteen of these cities are north
of Trenton. The populations of ten cities in Hudson, Essex. Passaic
and Union counties are equal to one.half the population of the
State. Except in Atlantic City, which has a shifting population, the
largest percentage of increase, by far, s in the cities north of Tren-
ton. The rural population IN New Jersey is practically stationary.
If there were no suburban communities the sections outside of the
cities would show a considerable loss.
