be but even If Charleston should
prove the stronger 1t would only in

A SYSTEM OF STATE HIGHWAYS
BY PERCY CLARK

In the plan for putting into effect the
good roads amendment by proper leg
isation I desire to suggest the creation
OF state highway commission to be
composed of three members, one of whom
is to be q competent engineer. do, not
think that either the commissioner OF
agriculture or the state geologist are nee
essary as members, or that they can de-
vote the proper time to the great work
and it's many details covering such wide
field.
The commission should have, as
member, qualified road engineer, at
such salary as would command the
services ~ the best equipped man. There
is too much at stake to take anylchances
with -'Cheap Johns We are to build not
only for the present need. but for the
future and in the matter of county bond
issues we are, so to speak, mortgaging
posterity. Therefore let's have no false
economy.
In selecting the commission 1t might be
we'll to let the Good Roads association
name one; the governor, the commits
sioner of agriculture and state geologist
name another; these two, with the pres
:dent Of Auburn and the president of tho
University and the governor to name the
engineer member This last member to
hold for one year and then to be named
for a three years term; the other Two
members to hold for. two and four years,
first terms with salaries of $4,000. The
salary of the engineer memberto be $1,000.
and an assistant to be allowed him at
$500. The clerk to the commission to re-
ceive $780, All the members and their
force to have free transportation on rail-
roads when on duty.
Require this commission to confer with
and cooperate with the Board OF Rev
enue of each county, with the county en-
gineer added, he to be given full vote
On all questions pertaining to road build
ing in the county This Joint board to
hold open sessions after due notice by
publications and suggestions and propo-
pitions as to roads in the country. but on
" as to main thoroughfares.
Federal and State Aid ~
A broad and comprehensive plan for
road building should now take into con-
sfderation the matter of federal aid to
state highways. Therefore any plan that
looks to the state convict fund and ul-
timately to federal aid should first mako
sure Of the stability and practicabiity OF
the work that is undertaken. In no way
can this be SO well and profitably done
as in the construction OF an initial state
highways, beginning at the state line at or
near Athens,+,running yiar Decatur, thence
through Cullman via Birmingham to
Montgomery, and on to Mobile. sSuchsa

mother, who wore the beautiful Russian
court dress Her long, hanging sleeves
almost swept the ground, and her FAM
shaped head-dress famed with dia-
monds. She bowed as she passed, and
her face was lit up with a smile al
charming as that with which her sister
won the heart of England. The reigning
Empress followed with the Cars
brother; she bowed, but her face was
grave and sad. A long train of grand
dukes and duchesses succeeded, and aft
erward came the ladies of the court in
crimson or green dresses embroidered
with gold.
The procession disappeared in the
chapel. and for an hour we stood talking
and listening to the faint chanting OF
the choir.
The Eternal Prayer
Before the mass was over we were
given our coats by the heraldic crea-
lures, and went out to the great lake in
the gardens Presently another process
sion came down the snowy paths. lined
by files of Cossacks in scarlet, all hold
ing naked silver scimitars. Priests In
cloth of gold, the metropolitan wearing
sparkling inter, came first. and then
the Car and grand dukes. They went
to the edge of the water The crystal
voices OF the children rose in the eternal
prayer of the Russian church,: Lord have
mercy A deacon chanted the gospel OF
the Epiphany in a sonorous voice, and
the aged Anthony bent down to bless
the waters.
There was a roar of cannon from the
other side of the park. and the Czaf
crossed himself with the holy water Of
fered him by the bishop. secure In the
knowledge that there was no possibility
of such a mistake in the direction oe
the loading of his artillery as that which
so nearly ended in his doom the year be-
fore.
