TAR MAcADAM ROADS IN SCOTLAND.

The roads laid with tar macadam
several years ago in this part of
Scotland have fulfilled all expecta-
tons as regards durancy and clean.
liness. 1t is a noticeable fact that
the enormous increase in automo-
bile traffic in recent years has told
very heavily on such section of the
highways laid with ordinary
macadam surface, while the surface
Of tar-macadam roads remains
practically intact.
1t has been found that to
convert an ordinary macadamized
road into a tar macadamized road it
is not sufficient simply to cover the
old macadanized surface with the
tarred metal. The surface must
first be "scarified." The road
rolling engines are now provided
with an instrument attached behind
one of the driving rollers of the
engine. This instrument acts some-
what in the nature of a pillow. The
effect il that, as the engine prog
resses, several steel points penetrate
severa! inchs blow the surface of
the road and tear it up into the
condition of a plowed field.< When
the whole of the original surface
has been so "scarified," the tarred
metal is laid upon it and rolled in.
If the surface is not sacrificed, but
the tarred meth simply laid
down upon the old surface of an
uneven macadamized road, the
finished road soon begins to show
unevernoss of surface, and finally it
is apt to break up at various points.

chased for their fa'l and winter
trade commodities that are attract
i've for their Quality and value.
They want your trade and are
preparing for a goodly share of it
Possessing such a pro ressive
set of cotton buyers and m r
chants, surrounded by a most fer
tile land that is no'ed for its pro-
ductivity, having splendid trans
portation facilities of both water
and rail. and homing. the best ele-
ment of this good old state of ours.
there is no reason in the world
why Greenwood aud Leflore
County should not largely enhanse
its trade.
1t devolves upon us to forget
all of the %pleasantr es of the sum-
mer v ca'ion, to lay down the po-
litical slush and bury the hatche,
where it may have been foolishly
raised in local and state elections,
ard to devote our entire time and
energy to do our part in making
the app oaching season the BAN
ner trade year.
The organization of trade days,
the organization of a county fair,
numerous other inducements in
the ways of advertisement, etc.,
can be brought into effect to
achieve this end. Greenwood and
Leflore must be better told TO the
outside world. Greenwood and
Leflore County must progress in
commercial interests.
The work is before you, the op
%portunity can never be better-do
not think that it will be best tc
forget and lay aside politics, ETC.,
and cooperate to accomplish it.
