Drainage Essential.

One of the principal reasons why
GOOD roads do not exist where taey
ought. is that the authorities respon-
sible do not give proper attention
10 their drainage Good roads ana
even moderately good roads are
soon turned into bad roads BY IN
proper drainage or, generally, lack
of any drainage facilities. It is a
shame and a disgrace that good
roads should be so neglected.
Harrison county is not without
bad examples of this kind. The osSt
road leading into Clarksburg IS Sne
West Milford road. 1t is paved vita
brick for a few miles out. and yet
for a long stretch about two miles
ont or the city, water and mud are
pouring upon that paved road from
its billy side. there being absolutely
no sign of drainage ditch nor sus-
picion OF culvert anywhere along
there. The road apparently has been
left 10 TO take care of itself
FARTHER on, beyond the brick
paving. attempts have been MADE u
dig drainage bitches along the road.
but the mud scraped up from the eX-
cavation for the bitches has been
left in the middle of the road to be
washed back into the ditch and thus
obhterate the ditch and ultimately
damage the road
II is a sinful extravaganza TO
spend money in building good roads
without proper drainage. Hall OF
The roads that are now considered
bad roads could be turned into fairly
good roads If they were property
drained; and 1t is foolish economy
10 keep from draining those roads
if. indeed, it can be styled economy
We need proper drainage OF ro2ds
about as badly as We need anything
in this good roads movement.

of the law requiring general notice
and the ordinary citizen who Is I'M
able to afford the luxury of a $12
special organ, will run the risk of
having his home sold at the court
house door, without the benefit of
the notice to which he is morally
and legally entitled.
The Journal of Labor appeals
particularly to a large and impor-
tant element of the population Of
This county, and yet its management
has never invited the publication
of legal notices because of its con-
sistent belief that the spirit of the
law contemplated the publication
Of such notices in newspapers of
general circulation.
If the unique departure made by
the recently created board conforms
to either the letter or the spirit of
the law, then justice could be sat
isf1ed by the selection of the State
Medical Journal, the Undertakers
Gazette. the Federal Prison Week
ly, or any local publication de-
voted exclusively to the interests
of any special class, calling, color
or condition.
II IL freely preQlCteO tndt safes
made under levies advertised in the
novel medium selected by the board
will be enjoined for failure OF the
published notice required by law,
and The Journal OF Labor will not
be surprised If the judges of the
State, in their desire to afford equal
benefit of the protection OF the laws
to every class of its citizens, should
rebuke the selection made by the
board and enjoin its operation.
The Journal of Labor has no de-
sire to take from The Fulton Coun-
ty Daily Report any business which
1t might secure, but we feel In this
instance that the publication of
legal notices in such a medium
would and will bring a hardship
upon some OF the working people
Of the county. The large property
owner has usually man, often a
lawyer, to lok after his real estate
holdings, and has some protection,
but the workingman must rely on
himself

ADVERTISING Of
LEGAL PAPERS
CALLED UNF AIR
Journal of Labor Scores County's
Change Of Old Method as
Hardship on Public.

A striking editorial dealing with
the recent decision of the Sheriff
the Ordinary and the Clerk Of Fulton
county to upset the custom of years
and to insert the advertising of legal
papers in high-priced medium OF
limited circulation-and that circula :
tlon almost entirely among members
Of the legal professionals contained
In the current issue of The journal
of Labor, the official organ of the la
Dor unions of Georgia.
The Journal of Labor takes the
stand that the publication Of the legal
advertising in The Fulton County
Daily Report, instead oe in newspa =
pers of general circulation, as here
tofore, will work a hardship upon the
average citizen. who rarely sees a
copy of The Report, and who could
hardly afford to pay S12 per yea,
for the privilege of reading news o.
interest only to lawyers and those
directly interested in pending litiga-
ton.
Here is The Journal of Labor's
editorial:
Legal Notice Advertising.
The Journal of Labor has heard
complaints from its patrons. pro-
testing against the recently an
nounced change in the plan of ad-
verttsing legal notices In Fulton
County.
From time immemorial these no.
tees have been published alter
nately by the Atlanta newspapers
of general circulation, and the sys-
tenn has operated without friction
or complaint from any source.
ha in he 10
ferred upon the Sheriff, Ordinary
and Clerk OF Fulton County the
right to select the medium for pub
fishing legal notices, but the
amende law changed in no respect
the wise provision that the me-
dunn selected should be a newspa-
per of general circulation in the
community.
For some undisclosed reason the
new board recently selected The
Fulton County Daily Report as the
medium for publishing legal no.
tees during the next six months.
The Daily Report is special
publication circulating almost ex-
clusively among lawyers and those
interested in the courts OF Atlanta,
its function being to post parties
specially Interested in the status OF
pending litigation, and its minimum
priCe-S12 per annum-effectively
excluding the publication from gem
eral circulation.
1t is obvious that the selection of
this high priced and exclus We me-
dunn for the dissemination of no
tees to the public will, regardless
Of the motive behind the selection,
operate to defeat the wise purpose

G.. T. PAY CARS MUST GO.
Employees of Road to Get Money By
Checks Except at Terminals.

MONTREAL, Oct. 22.-The pay car
on the Grand Trunk is now thing of
the past-that is so far as employees
between terminal points and agents
along the road are concerned.
Hereafter the ear will only stop at
terminal points to pay tranmen, en-
gincers, and employees attached to the
terminal. Employees out on the road at
various stations will receive their pay
checks from the station agent. The
checks will be forwarded from the
treasurer in Montreal direct to the
agents at points on the system and
given to heads of the departments for
distribution. To each check will be
attached a receipt, which must be
signed by the employe, also by wit.
ness, and returned to Montreal.
"The pay car has been big ex-
pense to 20 touring all over the sys-
tenn along the main and branch lines, -
said Grand Trunk official. "The
expense has not been justified and
the company has decided to pay only
at terminal points. The other EN-.
ployees will get their money by
checks. The Grand Trunk has five
pay cars in operation, that are kept
up at considerable cost to the com.
pany. Under the new system three of
the ears will he cancelled and the en-
ployes will get their money lust the
same. -
