Bad roads the Fiscal Court

The past week has shown a

Of such acreage afterwards aban-
doned will offset larger deterio-
ration than in August. Much
will depend upon the weather
from now ON. A dry, open fall
will undoubtedly greatly increase
the yield, while wet weather

cut it short.
The rice crop has been great

has been brought to maturity, -
but dry spell is now needed to

tion. Fortunately the weather
within the past few days has
been more seasonable and rice
receipts are increasing cores
pondingly.
The less frequent rains have
been welcomd by th sugar cane
growers, who began to fear that
continued rain, while it would
not hurt tonnage, would bring
the cane TO the grinding season
green and unworkable. The less

ly army OF United States volunteers.
It's Joker in the Dick militia bill, en-.
acted into law by congress on May ~.
1908.
The Dick bill originally provided for
an actual army of United States volun.
teers similar to the volunteers who en-.
listed for the Spanish-Ameriean war
after state organizations were found
to be troublesome.
The bin also provided for a separate
section for an eligible list from which
officers were to be commissioned when
the army OF United States volunteers.
subject only to the viii OF the COM
manderin-chief of the armies OF the
United States, might be called into be-
ing In condition of war.
The section providing for the vol.
unteer army was stricken from the bill
in the course of a legislative wranglo
over the privilege of the states to or
ganlze volunteers. The authority ere
ating the army was thus destroyed, but
the contingent section bringing into ex.
istence the list of eligibles for the
army's commissioned ofilmeers was not
disturbed The bill thus passed con.
gress, disembodying the army but pro
vidiug officers for #. That is why
the war department is now qualifying
men as Cligibles.

TREASURES OF LOST DUNWICH
Sea Gives Up Relics Of Ancient Eng
lish City Swallowed Up by
Ocean.

The recent extraordinary high tide
wrought strange havoc on the Suf
folk (England) coast. At Thorpness
Aldeburgh, million tons OF sand
were washed away, and bungalows on
the coast which were a hundred yards
away from the sea, were within a few
feet Of highwater mark
But the most curious act was that
hundreds Of coins of gold, silver and
bronze, and dating back in many cases
TO early Saxon time, were brought to
light, also antique bronze rings and
ornaments and an old bag clasp Of
bronze, with a silver inscription be.
lieved to be of the age of King John.
This coast is of the greatest anti
duarian interest. Standing on it, ac.
cording to local legend, the wayfarer
at twilight can hear the bells of the
submerged churches of Dunwich in
the sea- OF this place, once a popu-
lour seaport, little or nothing now
remains.

There were Is bishops Of Dunwich
before the sea disappeared. At one
tiyno the city boasted six churches, in
addition to converts, hospitals and
other public buildings.
Under Henry II. its ships voyaged
90 far as Iceland In the reign OF
Edward III. the old port was swept
away, with 400 houses.
One by one five OF its churches were
undermined by the waves, and today
only one remains, melancholy ruin,

Would Label the Unspoken Speeches"

uscript intended for the consumption
of his constituents, at the expense of
the United States government.
1T is the only honest way" de-
clared Murdock to the correspondent.
The Record, under the present sys-
TEN, is not a true report of the pro.
ceedings of the house. It may well
be that an article of value, prepared
by member of congress, should be
printed in the Record, but it should be
so designated.
"The first result of labelling things
in the record by their right names
would be the abandoning of the pres.
ent abuse by individual representa-.
tives. When a mans constituents be.
gin to ask him, Did you really deliver
this speech, or did you just have it
printed? he will quit the practice.
Congress could not possibly afford
the time that would be necessary for
the delivery of all the speeches that
appear in the Record. Therefore,
speeches will have to be shortened,
and they ought to be.

LOW-CUT WAIST ESSENTIAL
Costume for Theater Must Have This
DistlnctIon-Both Comfortable
and Suitable.

The low-cut waist is far more uni.
versally popular since the wearing of
evening dress at the theater has be-
come fashionable. Today, although
there is no necessity for a really de-
collete gown, the waist that is open
at the throat is correct in style and
incidentally is far more comfortable
and suitable than the one made of
heavy material and with high boned
collar
Theater dress is quite important
nowadays, and is practically the same
as the simple dinner dress. The diff
ference between it and the ball gown
is evident to any one initiated into the
mysteries of dress. 1t may be every
whit as costly as the ball gown, but it
must look less expensive and It must
be cut not SO low and have, as a rule.
longer sleeves.
This year there are many materials
that would seem to have been woven
especially for this use. Among them
are the fascinating voile de sole, drap
de sole, marquisette, and always the
old fayorite chiffon and liberty satin.
The satin-fnished crepe de Chine and
lace, also, must not be forgotten
