old BILL Miner
WANTED To STARTLE
EUROPE With HOLOUP

Milledgeville, Ga, Sept. 4.-"Oid
Bill Miner, the most picturesque ban
dit America ever produced, has died
on the Georgia prison farm, with the
great project of his life unfulfilled. 1t
was his great hope and ambition to
go to Europe and rom the Mediterran-
can Express, the richest passenger
train in the world, which goes from
Paris to Constantinople.
Bill Miner was nearly seventy when
he died, and ever since he was a mid
dle-aged man he had been planning
and arranging the details for pulling
off the midwest hold-up in the cente,
Of the Old World. 1t wasn't the rich
loot that tempted him to the undertak
ing, but the daring adventure and the
fame as an outlaw which such a eli
max to his long career would have
given him.
Instead, he died of gastritis, a bent
old man, a shacqled invalid, among
the states weak and decrepit prison
ers at the farm near this place The
iron shackles were the only thing that
made life tolerable at the last to the
former terror of the plains. He re-
garded them as the greatest compli-
ment which the prison management
could pay him, and always smiled
grimly and shook his head when they
offered to take off the chains if he
would give his word of honor not to
try to escape.
Bill Miner was a "bad man" in the
usually accepted sense of the term,
and was a great criminal, but he had
queer code of honor of his own
which he lived up to the last

SUMTER'S ROADS
need ATTENTION
in PRESERVATION
SHOULD BE DRAGGED Often
If Expensive Work Remains
Permanent

Sumter's highways, naturally the
pride of every resident of the county,
are the best rural roads in the county
and equally by those of no other COM
munity, north or south. This might
be considered a broad assertion, but
it is backed by the declaration of no
less an authority than the United
States department Of agriculture.
GO to Americus; there you will
find the best built sand-clay roads in
the United States" was the direction
given by an official of that department
to a party of Texans, who went to
Washington for the purpose of study
ing road construction.
They came, they saw, they were con-
WINGED, and at once returned to Texas
to build roads like Sumter's.
Sumter has expended several hun
bred thousand dollars in road con-
struction and is rapidly extending the
work until every mile of the 1,10O-mile
system in the county is a good road
This end will be accomplished in due
time.
But while the roads are good" in
manner; excellent in many locali-
ties, they are being neglected to an
extent, in that they are not dragged
over and made perfectly smooth as
often as should be done. Constant use
Of the split-log drag after every gen
eral rain is essential to the permanent
preservation of Sumter's matchless
highways.
When the work of dragging the
roads is too long neglected, the smooth
surface is soon cut up in ruts and
these, in time become washes. The re.
suit is that an otherwise fine highway
| is soon made rough and uneven, re-
quiring, in the end, much greater work
i'll the way of permanent repairs than
otherwise would have been the case.
The old adage, "a stitch in time
saves nine" can well be applied in this
case by way of illustration.
The Americas Smithville road, the
first highway completed four years
ago and then the finest road in south
Georgia, is now said to show evidences
of neglect. Holes and ruts are wash
ed into it, which frequent dragging
would have obyiated. The same con-
ditions prevail on the Americus-Ella-
vile, and on the Leslie roads.
A costly residence, if neglected, will
quickly show evidences of decay. The
same is true of an extensively built
county road, and the county commits
sioners will do the wise thing if Sum-
tcr's highways are dragged oftener.
and their smooth surface thus pre-
served.

Restoring the Bison

The American bison, once lord OF
the Western plains in years gone by,
is not decreasing in numbers, as is
the popular conception, but is increas.
ing. This is shown in the sixth an.
nual report of the American Bison
Society, the organization which is re-
sponsible for this condition. The fact
is made known in the report that there
are many people in the United States
especially children, who have never
seen any specimens of the great
American animal. To rectify this
condition the society intends making
earnest efforts toward the creation
of the State herds of bison in differ.
ent States, and also to the establish.
ment of municipal herds. New York
and Missouri are expected to establish
State herds, and, according to the re.
port, Atlanta, Ga, and Memphis,
Tenn, are considering founding city
herds. At present there are 1854
bison in captivity in North America.
The total shows a steady increase
from year to year.-New Orleans

Ninety-Seven Per Cent Sober

Old-time-man-of-war's men, could
they come back into service to-day,
would find more to confuse them
than new-fangled guns, fighting tops
and other paraphernalia of a like
kind. They would feel utterly alone
and forlorn in the presence of the
new sailor. The two kinds would
De strangers to one another.
The old-time jackie, with his sheath
knife, his flaring trousers, his NUT
ton-chop whiskers and his devil-may-
care dislike of responsibility, loved
his grog. It was the old custom to
serve out to each sailor a stated
amount daily, and many a sailor took
his first drink on a warship.
Contrast this with the evidence of
a chaplain on one of the largest bat
tleships of the American Navy. He
states that carefully prepared statis-
tics show irrefutably that IL per cent
of the men are total abstainers and
that IS per cent are temperate; that
is to say, they take only an OCCASION
al drink. The remaining per cent
are Incorporate, a proportion which
probably holds good among any
large group of men either afloat or
ashore.
Here is condition which is not to
be surpassed in any navy in the
world, for what is true of one ship
is probably in a large degree true in
all.
A different condition exists in the
army since the abolishment of the
canteen. Surrounded by grog shops
on every hand, and deprived of light
beers at army posts, the American
soldier has not always been able to
Withstand temptation. 1t would be
unfair to place his record against
that Of the sailor, who is for many
weeks at a time free from bad in
fluenceS,
