made her acquaintance. Lynn was not
aware that his friend had claims upon
her, or he would have retired at once
from the field. Avery on learning that
Lynn was his rival was very angry.
He accused his friend of dishonOrable
action toward him, and Lynns hot
southern blood prompted him to resent
the charge The result was the pas
ing Of Il challenge.
Two such prominent young men
could not fight under the code with
out the fact being known to all their
acQuaintances. The fact that they had
been bosom friends made the quarrel
a matter Of still greater interest. They
tried to conceal the cause, giving out
a manufactured one, but it did not
avail. 1t was generally known that
a woman was at the bottom Of the
meeting.
By the time they came on to the
field Of honor each had cooled and
would have gladly come to a recon-
ciliation. But an imputation on their
courage was more to be dreaded than
the risk of killing a friend Shots
were exchanged. fortunately without
effect; the seconds interposed, and the
two enemies again became friends.
For some time after this difference
they saw little of each other. Mean
while young Lynn had been stocking
certain woods comprised within his
property with game. In October he
sent an invitation to Avery to make
him a visit and enjoy the shooting.
Avery accepted and came to his
friends house prepared for an extend
ed visit
The two men hunted for several

Mr: Tufts gave some facts that should

Perhaps should have qualified my
statement and said that the top soil

$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 a mix
ture of clay and gravel that makes
excellent road material. 1t has been
my experience that almost every

UNDER A CLOUD,
Accused Of Crime, He Lived Fol
Many Years a Cursed Man.

The life lived by the planters Of the
south before the extinction of slavery
was in some respects an ideal one.
Most Of them were people of refine
ment and kind to their slaves. by
whom they were much beloved The
Lynn family were of this type. Their
plantation was one of the largest in
the south, and they owned more than
thousand slaves. Their social posi-
tion in the circle Of society embracing
the neighboring planter families was
very high. Indeed, they were beloved
by both whites and blacks.
Alan Lynn inherited this plantation
when he came Of age. He was a
splendid specimen of the highly hon
0rable, sensitive southerner. Among
all the young men of the region in
which he lived he was the favorite
both with his own and the opposite
sex. He was very gay, taking prom
inent part in all the social affairs of
his circle. If ball We're given on a
plantation fifty miles away he was as
sure to be there as if it were on an ad-
joining place. Yet much of his leisure
time was spent in examining into the
needs Of the negroes on his plantation,
supplying them and righting their
wrongs.
Among the young men of that re.
gion was Sheldon Avery, who lived
on plantation some ten miles from
the Lynn home. Notwithstanding the
distance separating them Lynn and
Avery were much together.
The friendship continued until the
two men discovered that they were
secretly devoting themselves to the
same girl. Martha Tucker was not in
the social circle of the planters fam
lilies. She was very handsome, how
ever, and possessed traits to render
her attractive to men. Avery had
known her some time before Lynn

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
1914 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 mile The farmers work
rs much of the time as they can, and.
besides getting enough to pay for
their teams feed and small wage
for themselves during idle time they
get good road in their vicinity OF
course 1215 cents is a 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 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. it is not necessary to do
this oftener than fifteen times year
This means that 1t would cost about
$3.50 a year for dragging a mile of
road
1t is essential in building road to
spread the dirt as soon AS it is dump
ed. as It is the only way to get an
even surface. and 1t is better still to
dump on light platform and spread
it from the platform. II the piles of
dirt are left in the road and spread by
a road machine afterward the surface
of the road will always be wavy.
The ideal way IS to employ man
with a pair of heavy mules for twelv,
months in the year and let him 90
from place to place. boarding at diff
ferent houses. and in this way he
should be able to maintain hundred
miles of road. 1t has been my eype-
rience-and that of every one. think
that 1t is impractical to divide the
road in small sections giving each
section to 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 10 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
1t undesirable to do any work upon it.

Where the clay is near the surface II

In such sections have heard the roads
have been constructed for considerably
less than 500 per. mile by the use OF
convict labor.
