AN OLD ROAD BUILDERS FIX FERENCE.

The advantages of a Gravel Road.
 A letter written to the Editor of
 southern Good Roads" by the Vir- elnla Superintendent of State High ways has very tersely expressed the |eSpenence of an old road builder: As a member of the Good Roads As |soelatlon of Virginia, I take the pri-

at sides, making a roadway sixteen feet in width. This will give you one of the best roads I know of.
 The advantage that gravel road has over crushed stone road. is that the gravel is smooth surface and packs with the clay filler.
 This makes fine binder, while the crushed stone road has rough sur face and satisfactory binder. Being a rough surface the continual jar of we hicles passing over the road loosens the stone and soon causes the road to go to pieces.
 The gravel, until it packs below freezing, will get in small holes. and 1t is always best to keep supply on hand. It takes a very little to fill up the holes and keep the road level. The cost of this kind of road is about $2,5O0 per mile. Any information that l can give any one along this line l will grady give, for I know of no better monument that I can leave than good road.
 l am now 65 years old and if can live long enough to see good roads in the state of Virginia will die saying "Well Done"

STATE BANKING ACT
 WILL BE TESTED

Little Rock, March 26.-'The pro- visior. c: the State Banking Act oi 1913 for a double assessment on the stockholders of failed bank when necessary to meet its liabilities, IS to be tested in the courts. Such assess ments have been made against the stockholders of a number of banks, and in majority of cases heavy pay ments have been made. The Sebastian circuit court in a test case has held that the double assessment is valid. Test suits elsewhere will probably be appealed. There was a $63,OOO col lected on the $100,0O0 assessment against the stockholders of the Bank of Pine Bluff.

Camp near Camden, S. C., Feb. 26,
 1865.
 My Dear Wife: have no time for particulars. We have had a glorious time in this State. Unresisted license to burn and plunder was the order of the day. The chivalry have been stripped of most of their valuables Gold watches, silver pitchers, cups, spoons, forks, etc., are as common in camp as blackberries.
 "The terms of plunder are as fol- lows: The valuables procured are es- timated by companies. Each company is required to exhibit the result of it's operations at any given place-one- fifth and first choice falls to the share of the commander-in-c and staff, one-fifth to the corps commander and staff, one-fifth to the field officers of the regiments and two-ffths to the company.
 "Officers are not allowed to join these expeditions without disguising themselves as privates. One of our corps commanders borrowed rough suit of clothes from one of my men and was successful in this place. He got large quantity of silver among other things and an old silver pitcher, and a very fine old watch from Mir. DeSaussure at this place. De Saus- sure is one of the F. F. V.'s of South Carolina and was made to fork over literally.
 "Officers over the rank of captain are not made to put their plunder in the estimate for general distribution. This is very unfair, and for that req son, in order to protect themselves, subordinate officers and privates keep

What the men of Wyoming failed to do in obtaining the signature of the Governor to the Is mill tax bill for the University, the women succeeded in doing, so says the Governor Ken |drick, himself. The men had made their plea by personal entreaty, then a bright University woman told him how much the institution had meant to her; how it had helped her; how she had had experience in business way and how she knew how to save and invest money; said she thought her best investments were made along idealistic lines and concluded by say ing that to her the University was an idealistic possession of the State and if the State indulged itself the business gains would be three-fold.

 The following letter, clipped from Watson's Jeffersonian of March 4th will doubtless be of interest to our school children who are interested in the history of the war between the States.
 l think l have read nearly all the histories of the war, but in none of them is found such a clear statement of the actual facts, and conditions as IS here presented. Here is the letter with its clear beauties of civilized (?) warfare in the latter end of the nine teenth century.

In one Ohio river town there lived
a few years ago a wealthy man who
had never been known to contribute to
any kind Of charitable cause or help
any one in distress. | think it was in
the winter Of l9O7-s that Mr.. Newens
gave his Message from Mars" there,
in the regular course. On the even
ing of Mr.. Ncwens' appearance the
misery man happened to meet friend
in the vicinity Of the church in which
Newens was to appear. The friend
induced him TO go along to the en-
tertainment, although the man in
question had not been inside church
in years. After il was over, this man
seemed to be in an unusually thought
full frame Of mind as he went home.
The next morning a member of the
Lecture Course committee, who lived
near this misery and usually consid-
cred selfish rich man, was little sur
prised to see him trudging across a
nearby field through a foot of snow
with big basket on his arm.
Out of curiosity the committeeman
watched him till he stopped at the
door Of a poor widow, who, with her
three children lived in a tumbled
down shack on rear alley. My
friend investigated later and found
that the basket had contained large
assortment of groceries and some
warm clothing for the youngsters.
"To behold a sight like that" he
said, lis worth many times over all
the time and effort l have given to
keep the lecture going"
