A Substitute For Cotton.

In compliance with a request, am
showing you substitutes for cotton,
both in the yarn and in plain and
dyed piece goods, and also in combin-
alton with worsted. This is made
from spruce wood pulp by process
invented by Frenchman, and ar
rangements are being made for its
extensive production both In England
and on the continent, but I UNDER
stand At is not as yet manufactured
in this country.
Although it is termed substitute
for cotton the samples will indicate
that it does not have the identical
effect, as it takes on dyes, bleaching
and finishing more brilliantly than
the cotton fiber. 1t will resist boil
ing in water or caustic potash solu-
ton for some minutes without change
and its combustibility is certainly not
more rapid than that of cotton. The
cost of its manufacture Is much lower
than the market price of cotton. The
fiber can be made of any length, as
in the case of artificial silk, which it
does not resemble in other character
istics, being, as was stated above,
highly resistant to solutions.
The strength of the yarn apparent
ly exceeds that of cotton, although !
have not any comparative tests

WASTE FROM BAD ROADS.

Hundreds of millions Of dollars are
wasted in this country every year
because Of bad roads. A roadway
deep in sand or heavy with mud
means small loads and long time
spent in trips over it. A good road
way, scientifically constructed and
well maintained. means big loads and
quick trips. That lowers the rate

CRUSADING ENTHUSIASTICALLY.

CRUSADING ENTHUSIASTICALLY.
(By Frank Weldon.)
The State Wide Good Roads cam
paign inaugurated by The Constitu-
ton and two score of its contempt
raries has made tremendous hit all
over Georgia.
Everybody realizes that it means
action and results; a great impetus
To road construction and quicken
ing impulse to the development of
the entire state. NJ
The counties which have taken the
Head in road Improvement welcome
the movement just as heartily as do
those counties which have been back
ward, ss
Then, the auto tour around the
atate next fall appeals powerfully to
motorists, both as sporting event
and because the endurance contests
focus public attention on the subject
of highway Improvement.
Word comes from scores of counties
that the autoists are talking enthusi.
astically about the trip, and hundreds
nre liguring on entering the contest.
There are very few towns of 100 pop.
u1ati0n without one or more cars,
30 the interest extends to every cor.
mer. Local interest is intensified by
the fact that every car is to start
and finish at home or at some near
by point. OF course, the tour will
be open to all towns, whether they
are on the route or not. Entrants
may select any point on the road they
please from which to start. Motor
lists are particularly pleased with this
provision.
Permanent Construction.
The great feature of the campaign
Is the certainty Of arousing such
strong public sentiment that every
county will want to hasten perma-
nent highway construction. This or
eanized movement sounds the death
knell to temporizing, make-shift road
work, for it is proposed to show that
temporary work is costly, and out-of-
date The progressive counties are
adopting the policy Of building one
mile of road which will last, rather
than to hurry over and patch up 10
miles which will go to pieces in
few months.
Almost without exception, the road
authorities are studying their prob
lens as never before. It is general
~ admitted that there has been an
enormous waste Of money and energy.
Hence widespread desire to learn
the best methods for each county.
Conditions vary SO widely that the
methods suited for county in mid
die Georgia may have to be modi-
fied iii the mountains or along the
coast.
The two points which are receiv-
ing the greatest attention are:
Surface and
Grade.
Surface includes the question of To-
cation Of materials. The old and oft
repeated Injunction about drainage
Ii, Of course, kept in mind, but the
surface of the highway is the main
thing aimed at.
A firm. smooth, resilient roadway
with i 5 per cent grade is easier to
negotiate than a sandy, muddy or
rlztty level road. The problem is how
to get good surface that will stand
years Of travel for the least money.
Hundreds Of miles Of sand-clay road
scattered over many counties prove
that in fully two-thirds Of Georgia the
counties have suitable material at
hand from which they can build ex-
cellent highways at minimum cost.

600 and 10000 visitors will be crowd
ed into the city, for reports from
every direction say they are coming
and in large numbers.
The city Is in gala attire for the
event. The decorations surpass any
thing ever before witnessed. The car
nival colors, with flags and bunt-
ing fly from every business building,
while the Carnival Association has
decorated the streets by hanging i'm
mense flags and carnival colors from
every electric light pole.
Every hour from Monday noon
when King Priscus steps from his
royal yacht at the wharf called Pala-
fox until the midnight hour is tolled
Tuesday will be filed with interest
ing events for both the residents and
the visitors.
THE REVELRY T6 COMMENCE.
The fun and frolic will commence
when the saluting guns of the cruis-
er Montgomery boom forth their sa-
lutte as the royal yacht approaches the
city at noon Monday. Upon the ar
rival Of the king the-grand street pa
geant will be witnessed, In which
troops from Fort Barrancas, the mag
nificent artillery band, bluejackets
from the two warships, mounted po-
lice, city officials, galley attired mount
ed knights and others will be seen in
the line of parade. Several bands
have been engaged to march in this
parade.
This parade will be one of the fea-
lures of the carnival, but it will not
be all by any means of the fea-
lures provided for the first day of
the carnival At 2:30 o'clock in the
afternoon the Pensacola Yacht and
