SOUND ADVICE FROM
COMMISSIONER McRAE

The two addresses made by Com
missioner of Agriculture w. A. Nc
Rae on the subject of good roads, one
before the board of county commits
sioners, the other at the fair grounds
were full of meat The commission
er reasons well, and bases his reason
ing upon practical experience. He
brings no theories The News holds
his speeches to be events of moment
in theefforts of this county to get a
permanent system of good raods
AS much as six months ago, this
paper was preaching dire necessity
for the hiring of a competent good
roads engineer to lay out a highway
system and to see that il was main
tanned after its completion. Since
then, a good many thousands of dol
lars have been squandered on worth
halt on the present extravagant
system.
The making of definite plan, by
which the people of the county may
know that their money is going for
roads and nothing else is another ex-
cellent point Mr.. McRae made. The
News has insisted upon this idea, in
two inhtances, one the proposed
building of municipal docks, and the
other the proposed building of sys-
tenn of good roads.
Mr. MeRae brings to US a busi-
ness-like plan. He brings the only
business-like plan. It is free from
the curseof petty county politics,
and has the ring of real ejciency in
the spending of the peoples money.
II is to be hoped that the commits
sioners will employ a competent
road engineer, and by that we mean
a man capableof lying out a high
way system that will fill the needs
Of this county, and then adopt the
plan suggested in Mr.. McRae's
speech of going before the people

s:tion, free Of chances Of squander-

NEW WORLD RECORD FOR HIGH
FLYING AT PENSACOLA

Pensacola, Nov. "a new world s
record for altitude was made at the
/ Pensacola aero station yesterday
morning, when Lieut. Saufly, one of
the aviators attached to this branch
Of the service, ascended to a height
of ] 900 feet. The machine at this
height appeared to those watching
its Hight as mere speck, no larger
that common mosquito at a dis
tance of few feet from the eye.
Lieut.. Saufy started his flight at
. O'Clock in the forenoon At 10
O'Clock the machine was back in the
hangers. He made the ascent of
eleven thousand feet in forty min
utcs while he glided down in Is
minutes, coming like a bullet out of
the skies, but settling gracefully
uron the water.
American aviators attached to
the navy yard and flying at Pensa-
cola have held the worlds record
before, for it was less than six
months ago that flights made at the
aero station here established new
records for altitude, ascending at
that time to attitudes of TO- 900 feet,
but it was left to Lieut.. Saufley 10
establish a new record that will
probably stand for some time.
In the flight the aviator used a
Curtiss standard Hydro-aeroplane, a
machine which has good climbing
qualities.
