IMPROVEMENT IN COUNTRY
HIGHWAYS In THE SOUTH

Washington, May 9.-Since 1906, the
average days I3aul of cotton from the
farm to the shipping station has been
increased from about LOO pounds to
about 5000 pounds, according to a re-
port made by. Mr.. Frank Andrews,
chief of tie division OF crop reports
Of the United States agricultural de-
partment
Commenting on this, President Rar-
rison, of the Southern Railway COM
pany, said: While tie shortening Of
the average haul, due TO railroad con-
struction and tie use Of heavier draft
animals. has probably been helpful,
there can be no doubt that the prln-
cipal factor in tits large saving in
the cost of marketing the cotton crop
is the direct result of the progress
that has been made in improving the
country highways of the South. 1t is
a practical demonstration Of the eco
nomic advantage of improving roads
radiating from market towns and ship
ming stations so as to give the benefits
Of good roads to the largest practica-
Bile number of farmers in the commu-
nifty. That there is still room for fur
tier improvement in many localities
is shown by the fact that the average
wagon load Of cotton varies in differ
ent parts of the cotton belt from two
and one-nalf bales to eight bales"

Wall Street Journal.
The extraordinary keeping qualities
of meat when subjected to well-regu-
lated cold storage have recently been
proved. A hindquarter of Australian
beef which had been in storage for 18
years was exhibited at the Smithfeld
London market. 1t had been shipped
from Australia to Malta by the Duke
of Portland" in February, 1895. 1t
was kept in Malta until the spring Of
1914, and then sent to London in June.
The color of the meat mad faded, but
beneath the surface the meat had un-
dergone remarkably little change
Chemical analysis revealed that the
meat had lost none of its dietic value.

John Henry Eifert, native of Lex

the oldest of living Confederate vet
erans, having been born October, 1914,
more than 100 years ago,
Robert T. Hanks, of Oklahoma, con-
tributes to The Confederate Veteran
(Nashulle) sketch of the venerable
former Carolinian, as follows;
"A patriotic citizen, father, and
friend there is no one more worthy of
honorable mention, more highly esteem
ed, nor held in more veneration by the
community in which he has lived since
1869 than John Henry Eiffert supposed.
to be the oldest living veteran in the
State of Oklahoma He was born in
Lexington, S. c., October I, 1914 In
1880 he was conducting mercantile
business in McMinn and Bradley coun-
ties, east Tennessee, on the Hiwassee
river, some 40 miles above Chattanooga,
Tenn, when the poor Los, or Chero-
KEGS, were compelled by Uncle Sam to
take up their sad and enforced march
to the then wilderness in the far West
In 1913 he was married to a Cherokee
lady by blood, the widow of DR.. Robert
T. Hanks, who was Margaret, Ann
Ward Morgan, daughter of Col. Gid
con Morgan, who commanded the Cher
okees in the battle of the Horse Shoe
under Gen. Andrew Jackson and a
cousin to the late Senator John T. Nor
gan, of Alabama.
"Mr: Eifert went to California dur
ing the gold fever, but failed to cap
ture any part of Dame Fortunes estate
and returned to his farm and milling
interests in Tennessee, where he re-
mained until, the tocsin of war sounded
and the first gun echoed from Fort Sum-
ter. Shouldering his old musket he
joined the second company raised in his
town, under command of his son-in-law,
Capt. Wellington w. McClelland, and
was in the Twenty-ninth Tennessee reg
iment under Gen Zollicoffer, this brave
officer falling early in the struggle. At
terwards he followed the fortunes of
war under Gen. Kirby Smith and later
on transferred to the quartermaser's,
department at Knoxville, Tenn, where
he remained an active and efficient aid
throughout all the thrilling and event
full years of the war
He was within reach of stray bullets
during several bloody battles, but for
tunately escaped injury He was under
fire all day in the famous battle of
Lookout Mountain, having been sent
down the hill for supplies early in the
morning, and the engagement was on
before he got back. Of this, in one of
his reminiscent talks, he said; Tt was
a moving picture show that ! had free
ticket to see. And when the curtain fell
and audience and actors were to go, 1
did not stand on the order of my going,
but went and have never cared to visit
Lookout since, not even at reunion
"Mr. Eiffert is one hundred years and
FIVE months old and is able to read the
newspapers and'keeps posted on the Eu
ropean war, He is in good health, goes
regularly TO his meals, and helps about
the house by carrying in stove wood and
making fires"
