FOR GOOD ROADS.
= *=*~*=***=***~~~

One million dollars a day for goo6
roads throughout the United States
That is an estimate that will soon be
realized, according to statement Civ
en- out recently by Logan Waller Page,
director of the federal office of public
roads
Mr.. Paige ought to know. 1t is his
business to keep in touch with the
progress of road building in every
section of the country, and to lend to
it all the scientific advice and aid
CLEANED by this government from the
experiments and experience of other
nations. In 1904 expenditures for
roads and bridges In America totaled
only about $S0,00O,000. This year
over $40, 100000 will be spent. Fig
uring on this basis, Mr.. Page believes,
and with reason, it will not be long
before the country will be spending
one million dollars for good roads ev-
cry day in the year.
The present development and the
prophetic outlook are significant.
They can only mean that there is a
national awakening to the fundamen-
tai value of good roads, and that COM
munities widely scattered are seeing
the wisdom of spending literally in
order that transportation facilities
may be brought as near to standard as
possible. An important feature Of
Mr. Pages statement is that indicat
ing the growing prevalence Of bond
issues as a means for fastening road
way development.
Roadmaking by this method is not
confined to the southern states. While
it fiourishes here in proportion to pop
ulation, 1t is no more pronounced than
the same tendency North, East and
West. In fact, 1t has become a COM
mon practice in aggressive common
wealths for counties to join hands in
bond issues which shall link their
boundaries.
In Georgia this trend has been en-
phasized since the states convicts
were available for work on the public
highways. Counties are increasingly

OIL TRUST PAYS A

New York, June 15.-Staggering un-

by the United States Supreme Court,

day to hand out checks for dividends
at the rate of only measly SO per
cent per annum. Today's disburse-

Company of New Jersey, alleged to be
the daddy organization of the trust,
and, was at the rate of SO per share
for the first quarter of the year. This
is the same as was paid for the same
quarter last year. For the same quar-
tiers in the years from 1905 to 1916
inclusive, the company paid SO a
share, while SIS share was paid ii

go SOUTH, YOUNG MAN"

Had Horace Greeley lived in this
day and time, his admonition to the
young man would surely be Go
South" Nowhere in the universe to-
day offers the advantages and oppor-
tunities to the young man as does
these Southern States.
South Mississippi is particularly
blessed, rich in natural resources,
midway between the hills and the low
lands, salubrious climate and fer
tile soil, she stands today one of the
choicest spots in all the United States.
We are fortunate In the matter of
transportation facilities. A man liv-
ing in the remotest section of the coun-
try can reach here in a day or two's
Journey at the most, and we have such
vast advantage over the West and
Northwest in building material. Here
we do not have to wait years to get
the requisites to build a home; it's
right at hand and can be bought cheap
er here than elsewhere. And then
there is the climate. Crops can be
grown nine months in the year in
stead of waiting until certain time
for the planting Of each thing.
The rearing of poultry has practi-
cally just begun in South Mississippi
and climatic conditions have been pro
nounced as unsurpassed by breeders
from other sections. More and more
attention is being paid Her Majesty
The Hen, by farmers all over the coun
try. The farmer is beginning to real
lie that he can get twice as much pei
pound for his chickens as he gets fol
his hogs at a cost of approximately
one-half per pound for raising.
There is a vast amount of unsettled
and sparsely settled lands in this par
of the state and it only needs few

BELGIUM FEARS WAR
Guards Frontier In Case Of Hostiiities
Between France and Germany.

Between France and Germany.
Liege, Belgium, Aug. 3l.-A great
sensation has been caused among the
Belgian people, especially near the
boundaries of France and Germany,
by the military precautions OF the Bel
gian government
A military counsel was held at the
villa of Lieutenant General Hellebaut,
the minister of war, at which the com
mandants of all the frontier defenses
and other military authorities were
present.
The conference was called to con-
slider measures to preserve the neu-
trality of the country in the event OF
war between France and Germany, SO
as to prevent the violation of Belgian
territory by either combatant or by
Great Britain, should that country be-
come involved in the conflict. Nothing
so far has been disclosed regarding
the decision of the council.
Great military activity has been in
evidence the last two days. Supplies
of shells for the frontier forts and
rife ammunition have been sent for
ward, and additional batteries of artil-
lery and rapid-fire guns have been
shipped to reinforce the posts on all
roads leading to the German frontier
Specific instructions, it is under
stood, have been sent to the com
manders of troops concerning the

struction of railways should there be

WOMAN ACCUSED
Miss De Witt, Of Easton. Charged With
Sending Scurriious Notes by Mails.


Easton, Pa, Aug. 31.--The sending
Of scurrilous. defamatory and inn.
proper letters through the mails was
the charge presented against Miss
Harriet De Witt, daughter of promi
nent business man of Easton, and her
self woman along in the thirties. She
was arrested by Postofice Inspector
Shaneberger.
For the last nine years persons IL
the social and business world of Eas-
ton have been receiving anonymous
letters. In some of these many allegt
secrets of the local inner circles were
told. Certain married men were In
formed that they had better eschew
the company of certain married wo
men, and the women received like ad
vice. In some cases the letters showed
such knowledge of matters of which
the recipients would have preferred
to remain ignorant that they struck
terror to the hearts Of certain Eastor
matrons.
Several inspectors and secret ser
vice men have been working on the
case for years, but they never sue
ceeded in making an arrest. Two
months ago Inspector Shaneberger be-
gan an investigation, and as result
placed Miss De Witt under arrest.
What evidence he has he refuses to
divulge until the woman is arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Turner for hearing. Miss De Witt
declares she is innocent, and says she
also has received some of the anony.
nous letters.
1t is understood that Inspector
Shaneberger is having trouble to get
some of the recipients of the letters
to appear against the woman, as they
would rather continue to receive the
anonymous letters than have the con
tents made public.
In nearly all of the letters the
anonymous writer attacks either the
character of the person to whom the
letter Is addressed, or that of some
near relative or friend In several in
stances there are charges of criminal
conduct.
