versity OF BRUSSELS, the Sorbonne az
Paris, the University of Nancy and the
Berlin Imperial Institute Of Chemistry
are indebted TO Ernest Solvay for ms
munifcent assistance. Recently ne
founded. with the generous endowment
Of million francs each. the lnterna-
tionaI Institute Of Sociology, and again.
on the occasion Of his present anniVer
saries, he has given seycra million oi
francs to universities, schools. hospltaiS
and charitable Institutes. The Soivay
Society. which was founded to exploit
his process in 1868. is a model industrial
undertaking. in the success OF which 'he
workers participate 10 an extraordinary
degree.
In politics Solvay is a Liberal; but,
although nc was a member OF the BEL
pian Senate for several years, he could
never be called an ardent politician Inc
lobby was too narrow TO contain the
principles and aspirations of such
master mind. The works that he has
published on 'productivism establish
Solvay's political faith comprising
system which. based on the principle o.
tho value OF the individual as social
force. tends TO this logical conclusion
that the only Justice consists in assuring
TO each one what he is really worth by
his productivity.
I'm recent times Solvay has consider
ably helped the educational works OF the
] abor party, but without any political
motive. His firm belief is that the so
luton of the social question will be
found i'm science and to that end the
working classes must be educated TO
realize and maintain their value as pro
ducers. Among his recent social initla-
tiyes Mr. Solvay has set aside sum OF
l.OOO.OOO francs for the creation OF
bureau to prepare propositions for so
cial legislation, veritablc Laboratory

In private life Solvay is man OF very
simple habits. I'm winter he resides I'M

summer in suburb. His untiring ac-
tivitv leaves him little time for leisure.
Always an carly riser and very late m

of his many enterprises and when he has
torn himself from his work it has gen
orally been to study the social problems.
in which he is SO deeply interested. Even
when taking a holiday. his tremeDdous
vitality and energy assert themselves
as for instance IN his ascent Of Mount
Blanc, quite a difficult feat, few years
ago. He is great pedestrian. and on
summer mornings never fails to walk
through the park to his office.
Mrs. Solvay has been closely associat-
Cd with the whole of her husbands life
work. His brother, Alfred Solvay, also
was a most valued collaborator from
the commencement. and his tragic death
at Nice about ten years ago was a ter
rible blow to Ernest Solvsy.

MONEY IN BANK
WITHNODEBTS
FOR MUSCOGEE
Georgia County Has Unusual Rec
ord-Business Methods Used
in Administering Affairs.

COLUMBUS. July 1.-THE boast
of Muscogee County is the splendid
system of public roads and the three
County Commissioners who have not
only made the roads but who have
put the county on possibly the sound
est financial rating Of any in Geor-
gia.
The county has $35,271.76 in Co.
lumbus banks; does not owe one
cent; has never had a bond issue Of
any kind and never allowed expendi-
lures to exceed the receipts to an
extent greater than could be paid
upon demand. In addition to being
out of debt and having the healthy
balance on hand the county has a
courthouse valued at 100000; Jail
worth $4,000; pauper home and
farm, s9,129.75; roads and bridges,
$312,50 and other improvements,
$4S,6O0, making a grand total of $780,
S05.79.
Established 40 Years.
The County Commission in Musco-
gee was established 40 years ago,
when the late Louis F. Garrard was
in his prime as an attorney. He was
member of the first board, and it
was largely through his keen fore
sight that that body was able to ac-
he was a member, but since he died.
The Muscogee County courthouse, one
of the handsomest in the South. was
built during his administration.
The present commissioners are
Frank U. Garrard, a son of Louis F.
Garrard; l.. A Scarborough, a prom
lnent warehOuseman, and J. G. Alex
ender, a real estate and business man,
who was recently elected to succeed
Captain b. H. Hardaway, one of the
South's largest contractors. Such
men have always been on the board
the county and have worked out its
business affairs as they have their
own.
Roads Like BouIevards.
The roads of the county are 80 and
40 feet wide and are boulevards com
pared to those in many other coun-
ties of the State. The road work is
under the direct supervision of Julian
r. Lane, County Road Engineer. He
is ranked as one of the best road
builders in the State. He is now
constructing roads at $4,000 per mile
that are pronounced by experts to
equal others that are costing as high
as $4,000 in other counties.
MuscOgee County is using convict
labor on the roads, there being four
camps established where the highest
type of road building machinery can
be found. The county now has more
than 60 miles of first class public
roads and the four gangs are building
other roads as rapidly as men and
means can be used to construct them.
