miliar with the method of construc-
ton of the macadam road, but he
must also know when it is possible to
use a thinner layer of stone, thus re-
ducing the cost Of construction. He
also must be so familiar with this type
of road that he will not make a mis-
take Of using too thin coating of
macadam. According to the character
of the subsoil and the hardness of the
roadbed, the thickness of the macadam
will vary from four inches to ten
inches. The cost Of a four inch mac
adam is so much less than ten inch
that an engineer will wish to Use it
as often as possible, and there is often
a tendency to use the thin coating
where the thicker one would give bet
ter results.
1.-THE character of rocks suitable for
use in the construction of a macadam
road must also be known to the road
engineer for the reason that many
purpose on account of their softness
and lack of minerals that make a good
binding surface. The best rocks for
this purpose are trap, diabase and CAB
bro. These rocks are all basic in
character and when used as a top
dressing for macadam give the very
best binding qualities. Many other
rocks, as granite, gneiss, quartzite,
limestone, ETC.. have to be used on ac-
count Of the inaccessibility Of rocks
variation in GRANTEES and gneisses in
their chemical composition, those
which contain a great deal Of horn
blende giving the best results in the
construction Of macadam roads. They
are. however. rather soft and wear
down quickly if the traffic is very
heavy. The limestone. although a
soft rock, has exceptionally good bind
ing qualities and makes a good mac
adam road, but one that has to be
watched constantly.
"The sand clay road which is coming
into general use throughout many of
the southern states is one that the road
engineer must know how to build. In
some instances this road can be built
TO better advantage than macadam and
will give just as good results. All sand
or all clay will not make good sand
clay roads. and in building this type
OF road both the sand and the clay
must be tested as 20 its adaptability
to use for this purpose"

In an address recently delivered be-
fore the Appalachian Engineering as
ISOLATION at Winston-Salem, n. c., DR.,
Joseph Hyde Pratt, president Of the
Appalachian Good Roads association,
spoke as follows on the surfacing of
roads:
'The question of surfacing material
for a road is one that is causing road
builders considerable trouble, for with
the introduction Of the automobile, the
wear and tear on our public roads,
especially of the surfaced roads, is
very materially increased. 1t is not
due to the automobile alone, but to a
combination of the cutting action Of
the narrow iron tires of heavy wagons
and the suction Of the rubber tires Of
the automobiles. The iron tire has a
cutting and grinding action which re-
duceS the surface Of the road to a
powder and loosens up small frag-
ments, which are readily lifted up
and thrown to one side by the suction
power of the rubber tire of the auto
mobile. The iron tire alone or the au-
tomobile alone would not do such great
damage, for the material ground up by
the iron tire acts as a protection for
the surface of the road beneath it and
remains as such protection until blown
off by the wind or washed off by heavy
rains. When removed, however, the
iron tire at once comes in contact with
the stone surface of the road and be-
gins to wear it out. The automobile
alone would not do anywhere near as
much damage to the public roads, as
the suction power Of the tires would
not seriously affect the we'll surfaced
road. 1t IS the combination Of the
two. however, that causes the great
damage that is laid to the automobile.
For country roads there are three
types of Surfacing material in use
macadam, sand clay and gravel.
"In considering a macadam road
the road engineer has many problems
to solve. He must not only be IA

HOUSE OF GOVERNORS
To MEET HERE IN II?
Governor Brown Says That
Atlanta Should Be Fore
handed With Invitation

Atlanta may be the meeting point for
House of Governors in 1911, if the plans
and suggestions of Governor Brown ara
successfully carried out. Governor Brown
recently returned fom the meeting of the
House of Governors in Washington, and
is very much impressed with the posi-
bility of bringing the distinguished COM
pany to Atlanta the distinguished COM
his purpose to carry the matter before
the chamber of commerce, in order that
proper steps may be taken toward send
ing the invitation out well in advance.
1t is almost cetain the governors con-
ference will meet in December of this year
at Springfield, ILL.,, says Governor Brown.
though the matter has not yet been de-
cided by the committee to which 1t was
entrusted, and though Des Moines is max
ing a strenuous fight for the honor
Governor Brown says that he is very
much pleased with the stand taken by
the conference that its meetings should
be held in the various state capitals of
the union hereafter, in order that it may
disassociate itself from the national gov
eminent. He says that the conference is
an Important institution beyond any quos-
ton, and that there is no doubt that il
will be perpetuated.

MONEY THERE, BUT NO
WAY TO DRAW IT OUT
State Treasury Pays $79,192
More of School Funds
a Balance

Requisition for $79,192.27, covering part
of the balance due the schools of the state
from the 1909 appropriation of $3.50. 900,
was filed with the executive department
by the state school department Tuesday
afternoon, and warrant was issued to
cover it.
OF the whole amount appropriated for
the schools for 1909, there is now a bal
ance of 1905, 54412 still due, considering
the Tuesday warrant satisfied.
No plans are now being made to draw
on the 1910 appropriation, which is each
year available any time after January 1.
The governors office has indicated to the
state school department the readiness of
the chief executive to honor Immediately
any 1910 warrants for any amount on
hand in the treasury, but the school de-
partment is not prepared to ask for any
of the 1910 fund. and will not be so pre-
pared till at least some time in Febru-
airy, when a few of the January bills
will have been received. In 1909 the cur
rent appropriation for that year began
to go out of the treasury on February
49, which is about as early as It is physi-
cally possible to get acquisitions drawn
up covering funds for January.
With Apr Ultimately 81, 25O,O00 of the 1903
tax levy still to be deposited with the
treasurer, there is now in the treasury
a cash balance of 1911, 963.17. after honor
ing Tuesdays school warrant Those
figures include the amount, $4,000, held
in trust for the sinking fund.

FINE TO GIVE COLLEGES

IeSS---HiS Gifts

CHICAGO. Jan. 25.-After having given
more than $4.O0o.OOO to various struggling
colleges in many parts of the country,
DR.. d. X. Pearsons, on the eve of his
sOth birthday anniversary, announced last
night that he intends to give away every
cent he possesses before he dies. DIR.
Pearsons is reputed to be worth many
millions. .,-t ...-
IT am having more fun than any other
millionaire alive" he said. Let other
rich men go in for automobiles and steam
yachts. Il have discovered, after endow-
ing AZ colleges, located in "a states, that
giving is the most exquisite of all mum
dane delights. On my Goth birthday on
April IA, next / am going to have
squaring up with all the small colleges
have promised money to and L serve no
tice that then 1 am going on new
rampage of giving. 1 intend to die penni-
less 1 am going to live ten years longer
and during that time expect to do moth
ing but give away money.
LOVES SOUTHERN COLLEGES.

the bOulu. uO hOl any VI my
other gifts have given me quite the sat-
isfaction that these have It's fine to sit
here and to think that the south knows
it is being made a better south by a
blamed old abolitionist like me. 1t sweet
ems 'em, I tell you. 1t makes them feel
better. Berea college, in Kentucky, is
my pet. 1 have watched it grow with the
utmost interest. 1t is doing great good
among those Kentucky mountain boys.
This nation needs those Kentucky noun
taineers. 1t was they who fought the
battle of Kings mountain and who helped
Jackson whip the British at New Or
leans.
Another pet of mine is Guilford COL
lege. in North Carolina. There's where
Speaker Cannon was educated. It's a
Quaker institution and / like it. 1 gave
$4,000 to the Montpelier seminary in Yer
mont a little willie ago because that's
where 1 went to school 70 years ago and
because it's president came to me and
said they were nearly broke.
81 think lots of the little colleges out
west and 1 shall keep my eye that way
also. Not long ago the president of
Whitman college. in Washington, told me
he was awfully much in need of 81, 500. 1

spirit, but merely to suggest to some
other millionaires an easy way of having

AFTER VISITS TO POLICE
Ex-Banker w. ]. Hays Want

CBy Associated Press.)


MEMPHIS. Tenn, Jan. 25.-'I am glad
matters have come to crisis. Now that
know / must go back and fight that
charge / am sure 1t is the wisest thing to
do. This matter was sure to bob up
against me no matter where I might go,
and am going to kill it, once for all"
This is the philosophic view w. j.
Hays, erstwkile California financier, takes
I'm a prison cell awaiting a return to the
Pacific coast TO answer TO an alleged vio-
lstion OF the banking laws of that state.
Hays arrest was largely of his own
making When he first learned of the is
suance of the Warrant, he declares he
was in San Francisco. Short of ready
cash with which to arrange his defense,
he started for Los Angeles posthaste,
where he went about at will making no
effort to conceal his identity and read or
asuposed fight to the Philippines. From
Los Angeles he came south, first to Nash
vile and later to Memphis.
On his arrived in Memphis in October
Of last year he reported to police head
quarters, asked If he was wanted and
told of his identity. His story was not
taken seriously, however, and no request
having been made for his apprehension,
he was not detained. Last night, follow
ing a published story that his arrest was
being sought he made another visit to
headquarters. This time the necessary
demand had been made and he was as
signed TO a cell TO await further instruc-
TORS from the California officials.
Hays says he is coming back to Men,
phis.

earth today" he asserts, land am going
to make it my future home"

Rev. w. ]. c. Upshaw. pastor of the
Baptist Tabernacle in East Point, ten
dered his resignation Sunday, to take eff
feet next Sunday, January 20. His &C
ton came as a complete surprise after
his sermon.
Mr.. Upshaw has been filling the pulpit
in East Point for almost two years. He
has given the utmost satisfaction, and
was loved and respected by all the mem
bers of his large congregation. His res
ignation was a surprise, and for time
the church refused to accept it. He was
importuned for some time to reconsider
1t, but he said his decision was final.
Reasons given were on account of III
health. He did not feel that he had the
strength to give to the work. That the
fast growing church needed a young,
vigorous man at the head of it.
His successor has not been named yet.
Most of the members of the congregation
are in favor of taking their time in the
matter.

PARENTS TERROR|zED
BY KIDNAPPING THREAT
Stolen Greenwood Girl Is Re-
turned Because She Was
"Not the Child Wanted"

GREENWOOD, S. c., Jan. 25.-Interest-
ing and sensational in every particular
is the story of the kidnapping of Jessie
Morgan. the pretty little s-year-old school
child, by an old negro woman here sew
eral days ago. The unsuspecting child
was lured away by the negress who car
ried her to a secluded spot near the
city.
The child was held for some hours. Her
parents grew anxious about her non-ap-
pearance in the afternoon and immedi-
ately a search was instituted, but without
avail.
The child says that the negro woman
told her that she was not the one whom
was wanted. With this she was set free.
Later the little girl was brought to her
home by a woman living in the vicinity
where she was held.
All of the parents of the Greenwood
school children are in constant dread on
account of the statement that the negro
failed to get the child she wanted. No
trace of the negro has been found.

SPECIMEN HOOK WORMS
NOW ON EXHIBITION

After having heard so much about the
hook worm and the fight that is being
waged on this little parasite, Atlantians
now have an opportunity of securing a
look at the small worm, two now being
on exhibition in the window of the Col
lege Coop, 81 Peachtree street. The
worms were secured from DR.. H. f. Har-
ris, president of the Southern Health
conference, who are now waging such a
war on the worms.
The two worms are under the focus of
a powerful microscope and can easily be
seen by all who take a look at them.
Through the microscope they appear as
large as a caterpillar, though in reality
they are many times smaller.
A special 'hook worm clerk" handles
the crowd that takes look at the worms
each day. Besides explaining to the
visitors how to look through the micro
scope at the bottled parasites the clerk
recites the history of the worm and the
fight that is being made to extinguish it.
