sAW9UsT ROADS IN FLORIDA
Disposition Made Of By-Products Of
LAUNDERING in Southern State
Wear Well In Georgia.

Sawdust reads are being made in
an experimental way in Leon coun-
ty, Florida. Great piles of sawdust
dot the state throughout its pine land
sections. useless monuments 10 the
sawmill's work. The disposition of
the by-products of numbering in
Florida-.the sawdust and the stumps
has long been the subject Of care
full study, but until now they have
largely been wastes. 1t is believed
that a practical process has finally
been evolved for the making Of pa
per pulp from pine stumps and the
utilization of the mountains of saw
dust in road building would prove q
great boon.
In many of the more favored Sec
tons of Florida clay lies beneath
the sandy loan with more or less of
over-burden. Where this over-bur-
den IS light 1t may be- readily
stripped on and clay pit opened
which affords good material for hard
ening the road surface. In some sec
tions-notably Marion county-great
lime deposits lie close to the surface,
not rock like the usual limestone de-
posits, bat soft enough to be handled
by picks and to be crushed by road
rollers. An application of this soft
limestone on a road that has been
surfaced with clay makes altogether
an ideal road, and miles of such high
ways are being built by enterprisirg
communities and counties. Where
these materials are available, or
where cheaper roads are desired, the
sawdust can doubtless be utilized to
good effect. In Leon county two
ridges of earth are thrown up with
a road machine at the required width
from each other and the space be-
tween is filed with six-inch bed of
This is followed with
smaller machine which plows UP and
mixes the earth with the sawdcst.
This makes roadbed on which the
tires of the heaviest loaded vehicles
make no impression The contractor
has kept an accurate account Of ex-
penses in connection with this Sec
ton of sawdust and earth road and
finds the cost aggregates 1897 mile.
showing It to be about the cheapest
road material in use.
Some sawdust roads were built in
south Georgia twenty ears ago and
have worn we'll and given good sat
Isfaction. The Leon county soil is
somewhat ciayed, which adapts 1t
we'll to the use of sawdust, but this
mill by-product can also be used to
advantage in the sander soils. It Is
. common practice in some of the
sandy sections to build walks with
the sawdust In which the manufac-
tured ice is packed for shipment by
express, and a little of this sawdust
mixed with sand affords surpris-
lngly firm footing. There seems no
reason to doubt that the mountains
Of sawdust scattered all over the pine
lands of the south may be advan-
tageously used to acquire a flrmer
surface on the sandy loan roads.

man elected to office will fl the
office. Only a few will fill the
offices, others will stay in the
office and draw the salary, but
with the cooperation Of the

better officer. Let US give them
our support as long as we think
they are trying to do their duty,
When it becomes plain that
they have willfully failed then
let us at the next election try
some one else in their places.

defeated may soon forget US,
