The Split Log
Drag Makes Roads.

Commenting on what The Journal
said a few days ago regarding the use
Of the split log road drag, the F1orala
News-Democrat says:
why on earth the Board Of Revenue
Of Covfngton county won't use the split
log drag we cannot see. 1t is simple
and cheap, easy to handle and does the
work of 10 men in half the time; then
why won't our county officials use 1t?
Nearly every road in Covtngton county
winds in and out, through sand beds
and red clay hills, and when proper
ly mixed this sand clay makes the
best roads in the world. But to keep
them in good condition they should be
scraped and packed by split log drag,
and there is not farmer In the coun-
ty who would not be glad to get a
contract to keep the road in front Of
his home In good condition-he could
do It at a small cost with a split log
drag.
All OF which is absolutely true. But
the commissioners of Escambia coun-
ty have never found it out nor have
the Pensacola city commissioners
made any progress in that direction.
Only within the past week, Pen
sacoia's street department has been
hauling clay and filling up holes on
that is IN the worst possible condt-
ton.
But this road didn't need any more
clay. All It needed was dragging af-
ter the rain and It would now be in
excellent condition at only the cost of
a man and a few hours time.
Running east of Chipley, Florida, is
a six-mile stretch of clay road that
was built by the county but that has
been kept in perfect condition by Mr..
A. A. Myers, one Of Chipleys enter
prising citizens. All that Mr.. Myers
has done is to occasionally put a man
and team on the road with a split log
drag for a few hours. This road is
now as smooth almost as a pavement,
with a hard surface that gets better
every time it is dragged, and that will
be better road five years hence than
1t is now If the dragging process is
continued each year. This Chipley
road is a conclusive object lesson for
all who may be ignorant of the value
OF the road drag.
Escambia county spends between
$4,000 and $4,000 annually in build
Ing and maintaining hard roads. But
not a mile of road anywhere In the
county is properly maintained and the
cost of the work done on them is
money almost entirely thrown away.
Two thousand dollars year spent in
the operation OF road drags would
keep every mile of hard road in Es-
Gambia county in the best OF condition,
now wasting in trying to maintain old
roads could be spent on the building of
new ones
Why won't our county commission
ers give this matter some attention?

It Is now time for the knowing ones
to prefer charges against those who
falsely qualified, registered and par
ticipated in the recent democratic pri-
mary and claim some of those 800
rewards offered by the governor. We
are told there are several glazing cases
in this county, hence the defeat Of
some good democratic candidates. It
is the duty of everyone having the
welfare of the party at heart TO report
every irregularity within his knowl-

for further party distinction at our

The Florida legislature enacted a
primary law by which the second pri-
mary was eliminated. They have only
one primary there and yet each candi-
date receives a majority vote The
plan is for each voter to mark his
first and second choice candidates on
the ballot. where there are more than
two running for one office and by
counting the first and second choice
votes for each candidate, a majority
vote is readily obtained. This saves
the time and expense of a second pri-
mary, and the results obtained can not
be otherwise than satisfactory. We
suggest that the next legislature Of
this state enact a similar law and thus
do away with the second primary

Omaha Hunter 10 Arrested But Sue
eeeds in Putting One Over on Warden.
Glenwood, Dec. 81. - Deputy Game
Warden T. L. Hall had occasion to
be in Griswold and Red Oak and was
returning to his home in Glenwood on
No. 3.
At Malvern man boarded the train
carrying a gunny sack which was
bulging with its contents. Tom sided
up to the fellow and started con-
versation. The converse ton developed
the fact that his home was in South
Omaha. that he had some rabbits
which he had bought. Tom insisted on
examining the contents of that sack.
That sack disgorged forty two rab-
bits and four squirrels. Since the man
had no non resident license, and since
he had game which he was conveying
to another state, Mr.. Hall told him that
he was arrested and would have to get
off at Glenwood. The prisoner pleaded
that If he was in Council Bluffs the
matter could be easily settled, so Tom
went on with him to that city. Deputy
Warden Charles Hobson was in Coun-
Gil Bluffs and he was called into con-
ference.
The two wardens thought $50 would
about square the account for the pris
oner's appearance in Council Bluffs
this morning. Charles Sneed, for that
was his name. had but s. in cash. The
balance was secured by a check. The
check was found to be good before It's
acceptance. No banks were open that
day, and Tom brought the four squir-
rels and the check home with him on
No. u. Monday morning Deputy Hall
presented the check at a Glenwood
bank for the cash. Inquiry revealed
the fact that Mr.. Sneed had stopped
payment on the check. All the game
wardens have thus far received is IS,
four squirrels and check for SIS not
cashable. Inquire at Malvern revealed
the fact that Sneed and two other
from Omaha had been hunting in NAL
vern vicinity and bagged the game
They intended to take the Wabash
home. but while eating lunch the
train came. The three made run for
it, but only two landed and Sneed had
to stay for No. with his bag Of game

HOBO FEES CUT DOWN.
Franklin County Supervisors Make l
Improbable to Arrest Tramps.

Special to Times Republican
Hampton. Dec. 22.-Supervisors at
their last session took up the matter
of tramps. The manner in which they
were being handled here was making
it very expensive for the taxpayers.
The investigation showed, first, that
the city marshal was collecting 20
cents per tramp for arresting them, and
in addition to this 10 cents mileage on
each tramp, netting him 80 cents
each Then the mayor was collecting
% cents each for court costs, and the
sheriff so cents for lodging and break
fast This made Hampton a popular
resting place. The first eleven months
there have been about 800 Of them
taken care Of. and the city marshal
collected in fees about 5000 and the
mayor the same in costs. The super
visors in investigating the matter as
certained that Iowa Falls fed only six
tramps and kept them over night dur
ing this same time. It was very evil
dent that something was wrong, and
they investigated the costs and fees
and found that the sheriff was not
making anything and that his fee was
all right but that the rest Of the fees
were wrong. considering the fact that
the marshal was already drawing 3s5
per month, and that the mayor was not
dependent upon this work for his liv-
ing, 30 the fees were cut down., the
marshars fees 70. cent for each ar
