SAND CLAY ROAD IN GEORGIA.

many places the sand is only foot or
two deep and in some places only six
or eight inches deep.
Our method In this section is to build
roads only when the farmers have moth
ing for their teams to do. We pay
1919 cents per cubic yard for the gravel
and clay delivered on the road. The
pockets are near enough together so
the haul is seldom more than one
fourth of a mile. The farmers work
as much Of the time as they can, and,
besides getting enough to pay for
their teams feed and a small wage
for themselves during idle time, they
get a good road in their vicinity. OF
course 12ia cents is n very cheap price,
but our roads do not average cost Of
over $3.50 per mile.
Now, as TO maintenance. man
and pair of mules can drag ten miles
OF road a day-that is, he can drag one
side of the road for ten miles and then
turn back and drag the other side
back TO where he started. This makes
the cost in this section for each drag
ging less than 80 per cent per mile
As a rule. il is not necessary to do
this oftener than fifteen times year.
This means that 1t would cost about
$3.50 a year for dragging mile Of
road
1t is essential in building road TO
spread the dirt as soon as it is dump
ed, as 1t is the only way to get an
even surface, and it is better still TO
dump on light platform and spread
1t from the platform. II the piles OF
dirt are left in the road and spread by
n road machine afterward the surface
Of the road will always be wavy.
The ideal way is to employ a man
with a pair of heavy mules for twelve
months in the year and let him go
from place TO place, boarding at diff
ferent houses, and in this way he
should be able 60 maintain hundred
miles OF road. II has been my expe
rience-and that OF every one. | think
that it is impractical to divide the
road in small sections. giving each
section TO a farmer TO drag and at
tend to. whereas this seems TO be the
natural and economical way TO handle
it, Practice has shown that the only
time that. the roads are attended to is
when the farmer has nothing else to
do, and at that time the road is very
apt TO be in such condition as TO make
II undesirable to do any work upon It.
Richland county. $. c.. i'm which Co
lumhia Is located, also has beautiful
roads, and. with convict labor, I be-
lieve their roads cost them less than
$500 per mile.
Where the clay Is near the surface II
Is only necessary TO dig a ditch on one
side Of the road and throw the clay
into the road. mixing 1t with the sand
as Il is spread 10y the use ~ n harrow.
In such sections have heard the roads
have been constructed for considerably
lers than 5000 per mile by the use OF
convict labor.

MAINTAINING A
SAND CLAY ROAD
Southern Expert Tells Best
Method to Employ.
MUST USE THE DRAG MORE.

A Good Highway Engineer and the
Assistance of the Farmers Along the
Route Are Essential, Says Leonard
TuTts, Sand Clay Road Expert.
Mr.. Leonard Tufts of Pinehurst, n.
c., president OF the Capital Highway
association, is one Of the leading sand
clay road experts OF the nation, and
he has been instrumental in having
built several hundred miles of this
road in central North Carolina and
along the route of the capital high
way. Answering an inquiry referred
to him recently from Mr.. j. NJ. Russ,
chairman of the trustees of road dis
trict No 3, Covington county, Miss,
Mr. Tufts gave some facts that should
be In the possession of every road
builder in the south. He said:
Perhaps l should have qualified my
statement and said that the top soil
of gravel and sand clay roads costs
$500 per mile where the materials were
near at hand and where there was
not much grading or draining to be
done. In this section the sand is
from one TO twenty feet deep, but we
have the occasional pockets of mix
ture of clay and gravel that makes
excellent road material 1t has been
my experience that almost every
where in the southeast where the soil
is sand these pockets are found In

Power From Sea Waves.

At a recent meeting of the British
association the question of economical
production of power from tides and
winds was under discussion. and 1t
has been taken up widely by scientific
journals in Europe. In France attention
has been called TO a system of utiliz-
ing the power Of sea waves to actuate
a dynamo. which has been employed
for some time past at the mouth OF
the river Gironde. An air chamber Is
connected with a well which commu-
nicates with the sea at a depth below
the level of the lowest tides. BY the
advance and recession of the waves
changes OF pressure are produced in
the air chamber, and system Of
valves enables the resulting air cur
rents TO be applied to rotating kind

paratus works equally well in calm

SOLVING the Old rrnhlsm.

When Sir Thomas Upton was a small
boy IN Scotland he dropped into a
church one Sunday morning and was
put by himself in a pew directly In
front Of the minister, who preached a
sermon on the text Am my brothers
keeperl"
The parson, who was unusually elo-
quent, talked on this theme for about
forty minutes and finally worked up to
the climax of his remarks. He kept
his gaze fixed directly on the little Lip
ON, who began to iidget and look very
self conscious. At last. after an over
whelming outpouring of long words,
he minister, his eyes blazing, made a
quick gesture and shouted at the boy:
"Am my brothers keeperT

Just Little Stories

Every dog has his day." so the old
adage goes, but there is one little vel
low dog in Hood River that hasn't had
his. This little dog is favorite with
his young master, but the austere dis
pensers of the laws of the land cant
help that.
Rev. Simpson and his family have
been spending some time on their
ranch near Vancouver, but for some
reason they didn't take the dog. The
rector had occasion to come I'D on
business one day and his young son
asked him to bring back the dog. Ac-
ordingly, when Mr., Simpson started
back the dog accompanied him. That
is, he went to the depot. There the
trouble began. How should a rector
know that that innocent little dog must
wear a muzzle before it could ride in
the baggage car? That was the law,
however.
The train was nearly due, and the
rector made hurried trip to the vsri-
Gus hardware establishments in search
for a muZzle. (In order to catch the
train he had to omit one of the stoi es,
and on his return to the city he found
the store omitted had just about a ton
of muzzles.) Finally Mr.. Simpson re-
turned to the station in despair. His
boy must have that dog, and the train
was coming. He managed to bribe
the baggage man to carry the dog as
far as Portland, promising faithfully
to secure muzzle at that place.
In the course of time the rector, and
the dog, reached Portland. The rector
had an appointment with a friend, and
only a very few moments before his
train for Washington should leave.
When he attepmted to check that dog
he struck another big bunch of trouble.
1t seems there had been no health
certificate secured for that little yell
low dog. Now, that dog is perfectly
healthy, as his appetite would prove
to the satisfaction of the most fastidi-
Gus, but the laws of Washington de-
mand that any canine visiting the said
state must have certificate of good
health. Probably the Washington dogs
have delicate health. AT any rate the
official was inexorable. and although
the little yellow dog could prove that
be didn't have anything that didn't
belong to him. he couldn't go without
that official statement of good health.
The friend was late in arriving at the
station, the train was most ready to
start, and there was the rector, with
a forlorn little yellow dog tied to a
chain. He just had to make that train
and as last resort he hired one of
the boys to bring the pup back to Hood
River.

The Gallows Plant.

During the middle ages the botanists,
Or old "herbalists," gave currency to
many curious stories concerning the
growth, form. etc, of the mandrake or
May apple, which finally resulted in its
being given the name Of "galows
plant" The pseudo scientists of that
time declared that mandrakes would
grow in no other place except upon
which some terrible crime had been
committed The roots were formerly
supposed to bear a strong resemblance

of latitude. but Upon the whole 1t mas
the same character throughout The
altitude above the sea changes regu-
