with the absence of fever. Subse'
quently it was admitted an attack OF
feversh influenza had been expert
enced.
Today it is stated the emperor Is ur
after two days in bed, but that he
will be confined to his chamber until
the end of the week. The court ball
set for Wednesday night has been can

Mr.. Smiths absence from Hatties-

good ball players. Two new pitchers
and another catcher are on the string,
and are said to be excellent players.
Joseph Antley, who has position with
the Martin Printing Co. In Hatties-
burg, will be given a try-out as
pitcher and his friends are confident
that he will make good. Antley
pitched last season for the Chickashay
Indians and made reputation in that
company that caused his friends to
predict greater things for him. Ant
lley pitched a game against Eaton at
Eastabuchie and held the score on al
most an even basis.

DR.. CHARLES M. ELLIS

THE death Of DR.. Charles M. Ellis will
leave a great void in this community.
The bare story of his life, as we record
1t in another column, will tell why. 1t
is not given to every man to lay the
strong impress of his personality upon
the times and places in which he lives.
1t WAS given to DR.. Ellis. He could not
play at practising medicine; he must be
a master practitioner. He could not be
an Indifferent family doctor; he became
an adored one, as many a bereaved and
sorrowing heart is saying today. When
banking, what not, he brought with him
an alert, aggressive, comprehensive
short of success. In public affairs he
weighed in-with the whole of his man
hoods heft" He never courted popular
ity; he was no trucking politician, with
spirit forever waiting on itself" Like
the rest of mortals he had his frailties,
but shilly- -shallying was not one of them.
He was ready to speak what was in him
for the public good, as he was ready to
give the strength and sympathy that
were in him for suffering patient. Such
men count, put them where you will
And DR.. Ellis counted-in this town and
that only the psssing days will bring a
full realization of what loss his dea IN
has wrought
The Cecil Whig., 1911-06-10

OF course, nobody wants his Sec
tion to be left out of the running
and we will suppose that the whole
mileage of the State should, could
and would be improved. Well,
at the present rate that would cost
over one billion and one hundred
millions of dollars, and would take
about 325 years. OF course, this
all sounds very silly, and yet it
only emphasizes certain facts in
the matter of this road-building
project. We have spent three
years and some millions o; dollars
on this project up to date and
what have we to show? In the
first place, roads THAT ARE
NOT PERMANENT. This is
one of the most exasperatiEs fea-
lures of the thing-this spending
of money for what is not bread.
In the second place, we have moth
ing but patch" here and there
in the State, of so-called improved
road. These little isolated patches
doubtless please a few folks in tnt
locality where they are placed. But
what does that amount to, from
the standpoint of a great project
of internal improvement? Is it
not time that the people of the
State, practical, experienced, in
terested, business people were
taking a-hold of this question with
some interest and intelligence, be-
fore damage has been done to t-le
States finances and progress,
which it will not be easy to repair.
The Governor says he will ask for
another loan of five or six millions.
Before acting on that request
would it not be best to know de-
finitely just what actual practical
benefit the State has reaped from
the first five million loan. An,
what 1t is likely to reap from an
other five or six millions expend-
ed on the same lines. The slogan
of good roads" sounds very IN
spring and the prospect of good
roads" looks very enticing. But
it is the part Of wisdom to know
where we are and whittier we are
heading.

STOP! LOOK! LISTEN f.!

1T WOULD seem d: the high
est importance for the people Of
this State to come to some under
standing of what the work of the
State Road Commission means, in
esse and in posse. Chairman
fuckers last report Gf report it
may be called awakens some in
teresting reflections reflections
that warn the provident man to
STOP, LOOK LISTEN" The
report states that there are in the
State total of 1910 miles of
public roads, 1900 miles of which
have been selected for improve
ment." OF these 1900 miles select
ed for Improvement the report says
253 miles are under construction,
IA miles OF which have been COM
pleted. That is, it has taken the
Commission three years to COM
plete I44 miles of road building,
or 4S miles per year. HOW
LONG WILL 1T TAKE them, at
that rate, to build the whole 1900
miles selected for Improvement" ?"
JUST ONE QUARTER OF A
CENTURY-at the end of which
time most OF us will have gone
hence and the roads first built will
have gone to the bow-wows.
But there is an even more seri-
OILS phase of this subject which
we commend to the peoples care
full consideration. Chairman
fuckers so-called report states
that the cost on the 25.3 miles un-
der consideration is $2,978,ooo.oo,
or $1I,77o.oo per mile, giving the
reports estimates the most liberal
Interpretation. At this rate how
much will it cost the State 10
build the whole 1900 miles "se-
lected for Improvement" 1t only
requires moments figuring to
see that it will cost the enormous
sum OF fourteen million one hun
dred and twenty-four thousand
dollars, or just about three times
the amount of the bonded debt
which has been already authorized.
The contemplation OF such stag
gering amount of Indebtedness for
the building of roads Ito say moth
ing OF the great expense of their
up-keep if they are to amount 70
anything after being built) is cal
culated to make a State of Mary
lands taxable basis stand aghast.
And vet this would not be an inn
possible, maybe not even an un-
desirable, condition OF things, if
these millions OF expenditure mean
something adequate in return.
But WHAT WOULD 1T MEAN !?
Suppose the roads were enduring
(Which they are not, suppose
nothing were needed for up-keep
(Which is not supposable, the up
keep being one o: the greatest
items of expense in stone roads,.
But laying all these considera-
tons aside, what would the State
of Maryland have to show for
more than fourteen millions OF
road-building debt? 1T WOULD
HAVE 1900 MILES OUT OF A
TOTAL MILEAGE OF I6,I4o.
That is about e-thirteenth of the
road mileage of the State would be-

in every thirteen would be an inn
