TIE Building of Good Roads

We reproduce in this issue an
editorial on the subject of the cost
of building good roads which ap-
peared in The Times-Democrat q
few weeks ago, which is a fair re-
view OF the work throughout the
State since the movement IN favor
of good roads began. u n2a
6aa The Times Democrat states that
the actual experience in the con"
struction of good roads has not
been quite up to the hopes of the
people when the movement was
first started. ,uaIf
mozThe.. experience Of this parish
ID this matter has been far from
satisfactory. Within a little over
two years we have completed ~
some forty-Gye miles of so-called
good roads which have been for
some time and will be for some
time in the future utterly impas'
sible.
For long time the experts hg'
ured the cost of these roads at
anywhere from $500 to $500 6
mile,
The Enterprise believed at tbs
time and frequently expressed
that belief, that the estimate was
much too low

Resignation OfAtlanta
Council And Mayor
Is Proposed To
End Squabbling.

Atlanta, June 23-The PROPOSE
zion made in bitter jest that Mayor
Woodward and the city council all
resign together and end their
squabbllng by letting the people
say in new election which fac
ton they want to remain in office,
may now turn out to be real earn
est, as the result of Developments
today.
The proposition that Mayor
Woodward resign was made some
what in the nature of a. taunt by
Councilman Albert Thompson, one
of the most active enemies of the
Woodward faction, and Mr..
Thompson suggested that opposing
members of council would all be
willing to resign along with him.
The mayor at first responded IN
kind, saying that Thompson made
the proposition b cause he
(Thompson) knew he was going to
lose out, and that he wouldn't
trust council to carry out such an
agreement anyway. But today the
mayor has taken the proposition
up seriously, has signified his bona
tide willingness to resign, and has
suggested general resignation by
council as perhaps the best prac-
tical means to bring Atlanta
municipal moss of crosspurposcs
to an end
If this actually comes about, the
voters of Atlanta will have an OPP
portunity to say at the polls which
faction they believe is on the level.

Pine Health Asset
Claims Harvard Man

Boston, June 19,-Dr. H. +.
jefferson. Harvard graduate and
lecturer, has come out in defense
of the pipe as health asset.
He says:
Smoke a pipe with twisted
wire in the stem to catch the oils
used on the tobacco, and you'll
be healthy. The pipe is the best
way to smoke but keep your
pipe clean. You can get a little
twisted wire and stick it in the
stem and it will take up all the
dangerous elements in the smoke
It keeps the pipe clean and sweet.

the pleasure of your indulgence.
"Pipe smoking is healthful-
but not for children. Let them
wait till they grow up. AS for
and cigars-well, l
prefer the pipe"

Gov, Browns Pardon
Period Ended
Last Friday.

Atlanta, June 21.-The change
of administrations will be marked
by no promlscuous issuing of
pardons. The quality of mercy
will stand in no danger of being
strained this time. Governor
Brown is sticking rigldly to his
announced policy that yesterday
would be the last day on which he
would consider pardon applications
except those which have already
bee.i passed on by the prison board.
Il am a strong believer in al
lowing the law to take its course"
Governor Brown said this morn
ing, "and l shall not distinguish
the end of nv term by the issu-
ance of promiscuous pardons."
Governor Brown gave the whole
state fair warning, having announc-
ed some time ago that he would
not consider any new applications
after June 20.

Railroad Gets
SS2.6O4,S4.
In Damage Suit Against
Postal Department.

Atlanta, June 20.-The whole
fallacy of the U. 5. Postal depart
ment's attitude toward the rail-
roads with relation to the "divisor"
question and the remuneration
which the roads receive tor haul
!, ing the mails, is set forth in a de-
lisoin by the U. S. court of claims
handed down this month, and just
received by leading railroad men
of this territory.
The suit was brought by the
Chicago and Alton Railroad Com
panv and verdict was rendered
in the railroads favor for specific
damages in the sum of $82, 6O4. "a
The postal department contend
ed that it had paid the sums specl-
fed under a postal order and that
this was proper compensation, and
that the railroad had received for
nal notice of this order.
The court set up in answer to
the defendants contention that
a regulation contrary to law has
NJ force and that it made no
difference whether the plaintiff had
knowledge of it or not.
The railroads have long contend
ed that the whole basis on which
the amount of compensation is
fixed is fundamentally wrong, and
that the roads are forced to lose
hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually by being undergrad.
The decision of the court of
claims is one of the most notable
recognitions yet obtained of the
Justice of the railroads contention.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-To Charley
Miller. the fighting conductor Of San
Francisco. goes the honors of his ten
round clash here with Al Palzer and
to-day plans are being made to send
Charlie against Carl Morris. Both men
were slow in their delivery, each round
finding them fioundering around without
doing much execution.
Miller earned the verdict by his will
ingness to exchange at all times. Seven
rounds of the ten were in his favor.
Each man weighed in at 220 pounds. \
half dozen rights on the Jaw shook up
Palzer but the blows failed to prevent
the Hawkeye from holding his own in
the exchanges.
