PUBLIC HIGHWAY BUILDING.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The building of roads is vitality a
question of proper construction. The
building of wagon roads is an engi-
neering problem just as much as the
building of a railroad. 1t involves
all the elements of the latter. A
good road must be properly located,
it must be well constructed, it must
be maintained.
The first element of good road is
good foundation, then proper con-
struction; then the road must have
sufficient crown to carry off the wa
ter to the side bitches. The surface
again should be made as impervious
as the materials at hand will permit
in order that it may shed the water.
The surface has been called the roof
of the road. 1t must be properly
drained by bitches at the sides.
These are problems which require
the services of supervision or advice
of expert engineers. A railroad
would not permit a crowd of local
farmers to lay it's grade or build it's
line. The building of a road involves
the same engineering problems.

A LAX AGE is THIS.

From the Savannah News.
The daughter of a wealthy Pennsyl-
vanian eloped with a moving picture
show singer a few days ago. Now
the irate father has disinherited her
and has ordered her to stay away
from home in future. In this parttc-
ular case it appears that the parents
did all in their power to prevent the
match and that the marriage was the
result of persistent disObedience on
the part of the young woman. But
in far too many instances nowadays
the daughters of the family are al
lowed entirely too much liberty and
are permitted to meet young men of
whose antecedents little or absolute
ly nothing is known by the girl or
her parents. In such instances the
parents have nobody but themselves
to blame if an unfortunate marriage
is the outcome. Ours is indeed lax
age and conspicuous for its lack of
parental supervision over the conduct
of the younger generation.

The OLD SECOND.

From the Macon Telegraph.
! The death of Congressman Rod
denbery not only leaves the Second
! there is not a single ex-congressman
| left. There was Nelson Tiff, then
Dick Whitley (the republican of re-
construction days., then Tete Smith,
then Henry G. Turner, then Ben Rus
sell, then Jim Griggs, then Anderson
Roddenbery-all gone. The old Sec
ond, we hope, will keep up the record
for able men in congress.
That is a famous battle-ground.
Dick Whitley was hard to turn down
in his day. The Second was made
up of many of the best agricultural
counties in Georgia. The cotton
plantations were far and wide,
therefore the negroes were numer-
Gus, and in those days they all voted.
They were largely in the majority
over the whites. Ben Hill, General
Gordon and others of the ADLER cam
paigners in Georgia were brought in
to stump the state against Whitley.
Great political gatherings assembled
at Albany, Camilla, Dawson, Cuth-
bert, cambridge, Thomasville, Quit
man and Valdosta to hear these not
ed men speak Many old wings did
not like to be called democrats and
were Indifferent about voting. 1t was
Ben Hills magic tongue and eloquent
appeals that finally brought them in
to the fold, having himself been
whig.
short while before these Second
district campaigns, just after the
war, in his Notes on the Situation"
Mr.. Hill advised course of mas
terly inactivity" but he found that
that policy would be suicidal, and
then he pulled off his coat and did
masterful work in arousing and unit
ing the whites of the state.
After Georgia and the old Second |
was redeemed then the contest for
the democratic nominations from !
time to time waxed hot There were |
many hard scraps. From the num- !
Der of proposed candidates already |
mentioned" we may expect the rep
utation of lively times in Southwest /
Georgia to be maintained. May the |
best man win.

WHEN ] AM GONE.

When | am dead if men can say
HE helped the world upon its way
With all his faults of word and deed
Mankind did have some little need
OF what he gave"-then in my grave
No greater honor shall l crave.
If they can saY--if they but can
He did his best; he played the man;
His way was straight, his soul was
clean;
His failings not unkind nor mean;
He loved his felloWmen, and tried
To help them"-Ill be satisfied.
But when I'm gone if even one
Can weep because my life is done,
And feel the world is something bare
Because l am no longer there;
Call me a knave, my life misspent-
No matter. l shall be content.
Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through cypress trees!
Who, helpless, lays his dead away,
Nor look to see the breaking day
Across the mournful marbles play!
Who hath not learned in hours Of
faith
The true to flesh and sense unknown.
That Life is ever Lord of death,
And Love can never lose its own.

There are 1900 single men and
women in New York. OF these $780,

for their not being married is that

work in the daytime and though the
freedom of the city is theirs at night

would welcome a place to meet wo-
men of their own sort Social cen
tiers, counting parlors, night schools
and settlement clubs are among tbs

figures, to bring the lonely men ant

Thinning to a Stand.

Notwithstanding a multiplicity of
prospective candidates for congress
in the Second district-almost every
bush contained one-they are being
rapidly thinned down to stand.
Only three have announced that
they are in the race. They are
Judge Frank Park of Sylvester, Hon.
E. f. Cox of Camilla, and Hon. Ros-
coe Luke of Thomasville. Hon. w.
w. Banks of Triton and Hon. w. c..
Vereen of Moultrie have also made

are to the effect that they will not

had their ears to the ground will
doubtless be forthcoming in the next
day or two.

will be but three candidates if a pri-

more than four if the race is run

Attend the Fairs.

Go to your LOCAL and state fairs
is the advice that is now being given
by agricultural papers. The Kansas
Farmer breaches the good doctrine in
verse, putting it this way:
Are you going to the fair? All
the live ones will be there. Does us
good to take a day from the steady
grind away, seeing what the neigh
bors raise, learning new and better
ways. Educate-that's half the
charm of this life upon the farm.
We're not going just for fun, or
to see the horses run. Wen rot
stand around and knock; but well
take our finest stock, and our prod
ucts we will show. What's the use
of being slow? Life is great. At
every turn there is something new
to learn.
Help to make that fair a go.
Tell the folks just how you grow
pumpkins big as all get-out, stun
that makes the natives shout; how
you farm the modern way, making
crop rotation pay. Come across and
do your share, Are you going to the
fair?"
The Terrell County Fair will open
on November 5th next, and will be

ucts of agricultural and domestic sci
ence ever seen in Southwest Georgia
