ANDERSON
HIGHWAY IN
BAD SHAPE
ADDITIONAL BONDS NEEDED
TO FINANCE ST. JOHNS WORK
ROAD is IN WORSE SHAPE THIS
YEAR THAN LAST SEASON,
DESPITE WORK ALREADY
DONE ON HIGHWAY.

JACKSONVILLE, Dec. 26 - Re-
ports are coming from st. Angus
tine to the effect that the ST. Johns
county section of the John Anderson
highway is in worse condition this
year than last. And this is the case
despite the fact that many hundreds
Of loads of gravel and shell has been
spread over the road by the county
commissioners during the present
year. The road is full of holes and
is hardly passable in many places
between the county line and the An
cient City.
The county is without funds to
properly grade and hard surface the
highway at the present time The
commissioners have promised to do
wAat they can to fix up the high%
way; but it appears that they have
wasted the money of the county in
the covering of the roadway with
shell and gravel. The people of the
county are becoming dissatisfied with
the condition of the road.
One of the leading citizens of ST.
Augustine says that the only remedy
he can see is for the county to issue
bonds for sufficient funds to put
the roads of the county in good
shape. AS he expressed it: 1T
is unfair to the surrounding counties
for ST. Johns to delay any longer in
building good hard surfaced roads.
The other counties are spending
money to make travelling possible
and we should do the same. L think
that if a fair vote was taken it
would be found that a majority of
the people are in favor of progress"
The ST. Johns county commissioners
have agreed to repair and improve
the road on the strength of what the
Duval county commissioners are
doing. The Smelling of the highway
this summer was in keeping with
this promise, but it is now develop
ing that the kind of Improvements
which are being made are a waste
of money because the results are
not satisfactory.

LIVES AND WRITINGS UNLIKE
Men OF Letters Often Have Described
Best That Which They Never
Have Experienced.

Finally, man of genius, when he
writes book, and "all the good
comes rushing into his SOUL" is in an
abnormal state, and hence, the lives OF
men of letters have often been In glar-
ing contrast to their writings. Mon
taigne tells US that he always OBJ
served super-celestial opinions to be
accompanied with subterranean NOR
ais; on the other hand, the most 1ati-
tudinarfan professors of epicureanism
have often lived like anchorites or
trappists. Some Of the best sea songs
have been written by men who never
snuffed salt water breeze; stirring
war songs have been written by timid
men and women who would have
shrteked at the sight OF a mouse; and
hymns stepped in the very spirit OF
devotion have been written by men Of
doubtful morality, who were never
less at home than in a Christian
church. Charles Lamb was ready to
wager that Millions morning hymn in
Paradise was penned at midnight; and
we know positively that Thompson,
who sang the praises OF early rising

noon. Sir Richard Steele could dis
course eloquently on temperance
