SIMMONS REPLIES TO KITCHIN
He Attempts to Defend His Votes
Against Democratic Majority.

Referring to Governor kitchin's
latest statement with reference 10
Senator Simmons votes at the extra
session of Congress on forty-three
roll calls, Senator Simmons has is
sued the following statement:

port represented him as saying that

Document No. 275, the same to which
| referred. That document on its
last page $50 gives tabulated
statement of the votes of Democratic
Senators with the Republican ma
jority, and the votes of Democratic
Senators against the Republican ma

publican majority. It contains no

Road Making

(By Logan Waller Page, Director
Office Of Public Roads, United States
Department Of Agriculture

sociation.)
A sand-clay road is composed OF sand
and clay mixed In such proportions as
to form compact and firm support to
traffic. The perfect sand-clay road
should be neither sticky nor sandy. The
sand and clay may form a natural mix
ture, in which case the road is termed
a natural sand-clay road" The two
materials may have become mixed in
the fields along the road by successive
cultivation of the soil, and If this soil
is used in the construction of road it
is known as top soil road"
There are many varieties of clay and
consequently wide variation In the
characteristics of sand-clay road. The
quality Of the sand is a variable fac
tor, as 1t may range all the way from
fine, dust-like particles to coarse grains
and gravel and may be perfectly clean
or mixed with loan and other material.
In consequence of these wide differ
ence in the materials constituting
sand-clay roads 1t is impossible to
maintain a uniform standard as to
quality of the road or methods Of con-
struction.
Not all but most sand consists of
tiny grains Of quartz. While quartz is
one of the hardest minerals known, It
possesses practically no binding or
cementing power. The grains of sand,
instead Of collecting In trough mass
under the impact of traffic and the ac-
ton of water, remain loose and shift
ing. Fine sand when dry is easily dis
placed by the wind, which produces In
this way the ever-shifting sand hills.
No road is 80 difficult to travel as one
through fine sand
If clay has been carried in small
quantities by running water and de-

"sedimentary clay" If the feldspathic
rock has been disintegrated in place
by water the clay is known as "resid-
ual clay" The sedimentary clay, hav-
ing been carried In the form of fine
particles, is finer grained than the
residual clay and Is more sticky and
plastic. In contrast with sand, which
possesses no binding power, but Is
very hard, clay Is powerful binder,
but does not possess the quality of
hardness. It Is evident that In the
construction of sand-clay road the
important property In the clay is it's
Elasticity or tendency to become
sticky and elastic when mixed with
water. The eiays which are most
plastic are called ball clays." An
other important property which is
possessed by clays in widely varying
degrees is the porosity or capacity for
rapid absorption OF water Clays
which possess this quality in the high
est degree fall to pieces under the
action Of water. These clays are
called shaking clays" 1t WIN readily

streets as well as elsewhere in town
will be tickled to death at the reduc-

property will be again increased in
value, as no progressive man cares to
try to do business in town where
there is not an up-to-date water works

The telephone system at this place
is being greatly improved under the
efficient management of the present
manager, Mr.. w. P. Adams. He is
constantly installing new phones, as
well as seeing that the present sub
scribers get good service.
Therefore, old Sumrall looks good to

nearer normal and we all expect a
general good time.

GOOD TIMES IN STORE FOR
SUMRALL.

Editor The News:
Sumrall has been somewhat dull for
the past eight months on account of
the burning of the big mill at this
place, as well as the results of the
boil weevil, but is looking forward to
a good future. The people here are
progressing in many respects. Too,
the town is now being settled by per.
manent settlers, as the erection of the
new mill, being of concrete and steel,
shows some future and confidence on
the part of the ]. ]. Newman Lumber
Co. Property is Justly advancing in
price and there will soon be a perma-
nent water works established, a plant
second to none in town of its size.
We need more water and purer water.

TAFTS HANDICAP AND WEAK
NESS.

Mr.. Taft is the first elected Presi
dent of the United States who virtual
ly obtained the office by appointment
rather than by election. He is the
first elected President to seek renom-
ination or reelection without a prior
test or experience of leadership.
If John Adams may be called the Of
fetal heir Of Washington, he had yet
been a political as Washington had
been a military leader If Madison
and Monroe may be called political
heirs of Jefferson, they had yet played
important parts in the leadership of
the new Democracy. If Van Buren,
was the heir of Jackson, he had yet
been party leader on his own foot
ing.
But Mr.. Taft had never held an
elective office. He had never attain
ed position of leadership either civil
or military. He had held office onl
by appointment He had been Judge
by appointment, a Governor-General
by appointment bureaucrat by an
pointment. This was his handicap.
He became President virtually by
appointment. He was not the free
choice of the Republican Convention
of 1908 or of any considerable part Of
it. He was forced on the convention
by President Roosevelt as the alterna
tive to taking me" He was elected
through no positive qualities Of his
own but by the weakness Of his on
ponent and the INSCRIPTIONS aggres
siveness Of his sponsor.
He began as a proxy President an,
he continued a proxy President unit
1t was too late to change. This na,
been his weakness.
He failed at the one point where h.
began to assert a leadership of his ow,
when he fell away into the hands nj
the stand-patters and signed the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. When he
might have established a political es
tate of his own, he fell back again tc
the impossible task of administering
another's political estate exactly tc
the liking of another.
His mental attitude has since re-
hected this. His language has reflect.
ed It, He goes out into the political
arena against a private citizen and
calls himself man of straw" He IS
like "a rat driven into a corner" He
appeals for Justice" He asks for 90
