Roads in Fine Condition
 The magnificent condition of the roads of south Georgia, as compared with their condition a couple of years ago. as well as with roads in other sections of the state, was the subject of a special report by State Geologist s. w. Metallic to the state geological board this week
 Professor Metallic says he made sev- eral field trips during the last quarter while not engaged in office routine. and also spent ten days in making the trip around the state on the good roads tour in October. The latter, he states. gave him exceptional opportunity for studying roads under practical conditions, and also enabled him to compare road conditions now and as they existed some years ago when he visited the same sections of the state.
 Further discussing the road situation, he says:
 T must say that I was much gratified, indeed, with the splendid progress of road building, especially in south Georgia. Roads in that section of the state on which automobiles can now make 30 or more miles an hour were well nigh ifn- passable at the time of my former visit. ] recall some 15 years ago that 1t took an entire day for my light camp wagon. drawn by two stout horses. to make the trip from Whigham to Bainbrfdge. where as the automobile tourists made the trip

HIBERNIANS.

The Ancient Order Of Hibcrnians OF
Virginia opened its annual convention
yesterday morning at Murphy's Hotel,
Richmond, the business session being
preceded by solemn high mass at st.
Peters Church. Meeting in the ad-
joining hall to the convention proper Is
the Ladies Auxiliary. on which more
than 100 women are in attendance.
The program includes many social
feature as we'll as the transaction OF
business Of importance to the order.
A joint meeting was held of the
Hibernians and Auxiliary in the ban
quet room at Murphy's. Thomas A
Reddin, of Richmond, county presi-
dent, introduced Mayor d. c. Richard
son, who delivered an address of wei
come on behalf of the city, in which
he especially praised loyalty and pa
triotism, two of the watchwOrds on
which the Ancient Order of Hibernians
was founded.
Capt. @. A. McHugh, Of Roanoke,
responded to the address of welcome.
Maurice A. Powers, state president OF
the order, and others made addresses,
warmly welcoming the delegates to
Richmond.
Business meetings were then held
separately of the Hibernians and the
Auxiliary, both meetings being OF an
executive character for the transaction
of business matters. Several commit
tees were named, and the reports Of
the various officers were read and dis
cussed.

tertained at Lakeside Park yesterday
afternoon at a reception given by local
members OF the order The business

preparing for Demonstrations.

Madrid. Aug. 24.-Defeated in its
plans for monster pro-church demon
stration at San Sebastian on August Z,
the Spanish clerical party is completing
arrangements for tremendous show
ing Of strength throughout the entire
country in September Instead OF one
gigantic demonstration which, as in the
case at San Sebastian, the government
showed it could prevent by Selling the
means Of transportation, hundreds OF
smaller meetings will be held.
This scheme will have the double
advantage OF permitting large number
of Catholics and Carlists to participate
and will also make it impossible for the
government to mass troops to ad-
vantage.
The various local committees OF
clericals have formed a general organl-
cation since August and have a
powerful central committee which is
working with the Carlsts. A formidable
group OF fnanciers is also said to be
working with the clericals, hoping to
bring about a slump in securities 50
that they may buy them in at a low
figure.

The Crippen Case a SELF

London, Aug. PA rumor that
made the rounds of the newspaper
Offices today, but which was considered
so fantastical that it was not published,
was that the "Crippen case" is the
atrical advertising scheme, and that as
soon as the fiasco is exposed, all those
concerned on it will go OH the variety
stage.
DR.. CriDpen's wife, Belle Elmore, is
now in hiding, according to the rumor,
awaiting the psychological moment to
put in an appearance. The body sup
posed to be that Of Mrs. Crippen was
an unacceptable mass OF material
that Crippen planted" in the cellar of
his house in such manner as to give
the appearance OF murder.
Incidentally, it is said that those in
yolved in the alleged hoax are laying
the basis for an avalanche OF libel

Canal Mule Doomed.

Mauch Chunk, Pa, Aug. 24.-The
days OF the canal mule at last seem
numbered, as the result of repeated ex-
periment by the Lehigh Coal and Nav
igation Company, and tugs promise to
become the power to move the coal
laden chunkers on the company's ca
nal.
After trying different electrical APP
pliances during the past few years and
finding that it WAS not feasible 70 use
electricity. a coal-laden barge, bound
for Bristol, was taken in tow by a tug
and made four miles per hour. 1t
went over the nine miles level in IA
hours. which is about two hours and a
half less than it is generally done by
mule power. Other tests are to be
made by the steamer this week, and, if
successful, the mule will have to go.
Several years ago the company built
a trolley line along the towpath from
here to Coalport and Weissport for the
purpose OF moving the boats, bat it
was found inexpedient, and the mule
was again brought into service.

The Cholera in Russia.

London, Aug. 24.-The cholera cpl
demic in Russia and the southeastern
part of Italy is sersously interfering
with tourist travel. Practically the
entire Russian frontier is under quaran-
tine. Rnmania is taking the lead in cut
ting off travel with Russia, lining her
frontier with troops. Today's dis
patches say that the disease is increas
ing in southern Russia, but is OH the
decrease in st. Petersburg. 1t is per-
sistently reported that cases have APP
peared in Milan and that the situation
in Italy is serious. A number of cases
are reported from Turkey.

THE FOREST FIRES.
Many Lives Lost and Millions of Dol
lars, Worth ofPrOperty DESTROYED.


Spokane, Wn., Aug. 24.-The end
of the northwestern forest fire horror
is not in sight, despite the improved
conditions, according to today's reports
to the United States Forestry Office
from all parts OF the fire zone.
Aside from the many reported dis
asters to forest rangers, the forestry
officials both here and at Missoula de
clared that on conservative estimates,
about 76 men, women and children,
have persisted, and that the loss to
timber will be not less than $40, 900,
600. They said they could not estl-
mate the damage to other property.
In the Bear Tooth forest the con-
ditions are most serious, and the Gal
latin county fires along the edge OF
Yellowstone Park are as bad as ever.
Reports from several Montana points
early today are that light rains have
begun to fall, and that it is believed
the worst is over in those sections.
Sacramento, Cal. Aug. 24.-The
United States troops fighting the forest
fires in the Tahoe national forest,
Placer county, are making little prog
ress. The flames are spreading rapidly
through Placer and EldOrado counties,
and are edging over towards Lake
Tahoe from Michigan Bluff. The prop
erty loss will be enormous, but no lives
have been lost.
Five fires are raging in Siskiyou,
Trinity and Shaska counties, California.
Three thousand acres OF land have been
laid waste and the town of Minersville
and Begun are in danger. Back fir
ing was begun today.

state Firemen's Convention Meets In
Opera ouse-Alexandria Gaily Deco
rated-Many Visitors in the City-Local
Firemen Busy In Extending Hearty
Welcomes-Gay scenes Last Night.
The Virginia State Firemen's Con.
yention convened in this city today.
Delegates from nearly every city in the
Old Dominion are present, as we'll as
delegations from most Of the fire or
CARNATIONS OF the state. Extensive
preparations for the reception and en-
tertainment Of the delegates and other
fremen and visitors have been made
and the various committees have per-
formed their work well.
The main streets of the city were
thronged last night with delegates to
the convention and others who are
visiting Alexandria for the purpose OF
attending the convention and witness
ing the parade and the tests.
Many Washingtonians and people
living near Alexandria mingled with
the jewellers. Automobiles and other
vehicles, filed with JOY riders, were
passing to and fro, while crowds surged
here and there. There was joy in the
air, and whistles, horns, catcalls, etc,
were in evidence Paper. caps, resem-
bling those worn by chief cooks in
hotels, suddenly became fashionable,
and many men, boys and girls donned
them. Every one who could procure
a horn used it nd libitum.
The intersection OF King and Wash
ington streets was the scene OF the
greatest animation. A stand had been
erected on Washington street, in front Of
the Young Peoples Building, for the ac-
commodation OF the Harrisonburg
band, which discoursed fine music dur
ing the early part Of the night.
The many electric bulbs which had
been placed on buildings on King street
and thoroughfares near that street, and
the hundreds OF flags, steamers, etc,
added pith to the occasion.
The number Of visitors to this city
was greatly augmented this morn
ing after other organizations had ar
rived. The various committees were
active in escorting the visitors from
point to point, and nothing was left
undone that could have added to the
entertainment of the delegates and
their friends.
The Harrisonburg company, which
arrived yesterday, is composed OF 10
men and band Of % pieces; the
Charlottesville company, numbers II
men and drum corps Of 10 pieces; the

TURN about is fair play in politics rs
well as in other games, and this has
proved the case in the governorship
race in Georgia, decided in the primary
election yesterday. Mr.. Hoke Smith
will be the next governor Of Georgia.
He has decisiyely beaten Joe" Brown,
who wrested the Office from him two
years ago, after Smith had fred
Brown from the railroad commission.
The chances are that Smith will carry
eighty counties or more and that hs
majority will reach 10000. Two years
ago Brown carried the state by nearly
10000 over Smith. Smith has won
in the cities as we'll as in the country.
Smith has stood on the platform of
progressive democracy, " fighting for
the preservation of the railroad com
mission as at present constituted, for the
present registration law, which was one
OF his measures, and for an anti-lobby
bill. In the Congress districts the in
dicstions are that Livingston represen-
tative from the fifth, who is charged
with leading the Georgia delegation
over TO Cannon, has met defeat at the
hands Of William Schley Howard. The
charge of "Cannonism" cost LiyingS-
ton hundreds OF votes. Congressman
Hardwick, OF the Tenth district, who
has been bitterly fought 10y Thomas
Watson, has won over his combined
opposition.
