Ask State Aid in Road Building.

ASK Stare Ato IN hoao Building.
The Hancock county fiscal court
voted in favor. of making an appropria-
tion for roads and of asking state aid
The county is in debt few thousand
dollars, and two of the magistrates
favored getting out of debt before
launching into permanent road build
ing, but now that the proposition has
carried they will lend their hearty sup
port. The final decision was hastened
by the argument of Road Engineer
Francis Friel, who recently came home
from the Lexington school of road in
struction full of enthusiasm. He point
ed out the advantages and the econ
omy Of macadam roads, and also
showed that IL the county did not take
advantage of the offer of state aid that
1t would be contributing per cent of
its taxes to other counties without
getting anything for 1t. Several roads
lead to HawesvilIe, the county seat,
and the people living along them win
be asked to contribute, and the road
on which the best subscriptions are
received will get the first permanent
work.

Bremen, via London.-The Ameri-
can steamer Evelyn, which sailed
from New York, January 29, with
cargo of cotton for Bremen, struck
mine of Borkum Island, in the North
Sea. The vessel sank. Her Captain
and q of her crew were saved. The
Evelyn is the first American vessel to
meet with disaster as a result of the
seaware of the European nations. She
did not sink within the war zone in
cluded in the German Admiralty's de-
cree of February 4, which went into
effect. Borkum Island lies directly of
the German coast, at the mouth of the
Ems River, and is German territory.
The Evelyn was a single screw
steamship and was commanded by
Captain Smith. She belonged to A. H.
Bull & Co., of New York, and was
chartered by the Harriss, Irby & Voce
Cotton Co. to take cargo of cotton to
Bremen. She was 252 feet long and
1,185 tons net. She was built in South
ampton, England, in 1888. Her home
port was Philadelphia. The Evelyn
was last reported as arriving at Rot
terdam February II.

Fish and Game Improvement.

Progress and plans in the re-
stocking of Kentucky with big game
and birds and the streams with fish
occupied most of the session of the
State Game and Fish Commission
here. Forty-five Whitehall deer are
thriving in the game preserve in Bell
county and an order has been placed
with the Cleveland Cliffs Co. of Mich
igan, for twenty adult deer. In addi-
ton to these the three Japanese deer
presented to the commission by Com
missioner Burnam, who received them
from a friend in New York, have been
placed there and three English Fal-
low deer, fine species, which thrives
in this country will be placed in the
preserve soon.
Should the next General Assembly
make closed season on deer for a
sufficient period, deer from the pre-
serve will be distributed throughout
the state when conditions are favora-
Bile. Restocking the fields with quails
is problem on which the commission
is working. Permits have been secured
to catch large number in Alabama
and Florida; but arrangements to Sc
cure supply in Mexico were frus
trated by the discovery of a disease
among them, which resulted in a gov
ernment embargo on their importa
ton. The season for transportation
from Cuba will close February %, but
the commission has succeeded in get
ting a contract for fifty pairs.
