AN INVITATION.
Easy Ways by Which to See Big
City.

New York city has 3,542 miles of
streets, and 1880 miles of surface,
elevated and subway railroad tracks,
declares the Christian Herald. Be-
sides the 100000 of population Oh
Manhattan island, the adjacent bor-
oughs and suburban towns pour a
daily contingent of hundreds Of
thousands more on business, pleasure
or shopping bent. From all parts
of the country and the world other
thousands are brought into the city
to spend a day or year, as the case
may be. There is no honor in the day
or night these miles of streets and
railroads are empty of human beings.
For eighteen of every twenty-four
hours the city is alive with travel.
The traffic problem is never wholly
solved, though experts are gaining
on the continually increasing de-
mands. The casual visitor will de-
rive an immense amount of interest
from spending some of his time on
one or another of the various kinds
of conveyances at his disposal, most
ly at five cents fog ride.

The Good Roads Bill.

President Wilson has signed the
good roads bill and it is now law
The law provides for the expenditure
of s5,OO0,000 on the public highways
Of the country during the next five
years. Of course this is only a start
er. Much more will be appropriated
later on, for the government is now
committed to the policy of federal aid
for good roads.
The law just enacted provides that
the money shall be proportioned
among the States by three ways.
First according to areas; second, &C.
cording to population, and third, ac-
cording to miles of road used in the
rural delivery of mail.
No money will be expended on any
road that has not been laid out by a
competent engineer, and passed upon
by federal agents. This is to insure
against wastage of money. The
States or counties must put up as
much money as the federal govern
ment for the initial work and must
keep the road in repair after they
are built.
No State can receive any of the
federal money unless it has a State
highway department and has made
start toward a comprehensive, we'll
laid out system of highways. This
means that South Carolina must pro-
vide a State highway department be-
fore she can receive any of the
money. This State is one of the few
in the union that has no such depart
ment. The last legislature was ask
ed to act on this matter, for it was
assured then that the good roads bill
would be passed, but no action was
taken.
This is matter that the people of
the State should be studying. We
have been clamoring for federal aid
for good roads, but now that the aid
is available we are not in a position
to get any of it, We have been CIV
ing so much attention to factional
politics during the past few years
that we have neglected the practical
things that are really worth
while.-Anderson Mail.

Entered the Ministry.

DR.. Elijah E. Hoss, the Methods
bishop, relates the Boston Globe, sale
at dinner in Muskogee:
''The Methodist minister is noted
all over the world for his love ot
chicken.
"Once, when I was stationed ir
Knoxville, I wanted a pair of chick
ems for our Sunday dinner, and so
called on suburban farmers wife
whose fame as a chicken raiser was
remarkable.
There had been a Methodist con
ference in Knoxville that week, anC
when l told the farmers wife the ma.
ture of my errand, she shook hel
head:
I'm sorry, DR.. Hoss,' she said
but all my chickens have already en-
tered the ministry"

A Boys Size.

A New Yorker who recently re-
turned from a visit to Boston vouches
for the truth of the following:
One afternoon he found the 6-year.
old son of his host settled in front
of the drawing room fire and with a
sheet of paper before him and pen
Gil clasped in his chubby fist. Steal
ing look over the boys shoulder,
he saw the little fellow was making
pictures.
EsWell Bobby" he asked, genially
t'are you drawing an engine?"
Slowly the child looked up and
slowly he spoke:
'It would take very strong boy
to draw an engine; but I am making
a picture of locomotive. Youth s

NATURAL SCENERY.
What Happens When Nature is Too
Much Like Art.

All of US, or at least those of us
who have more than a passing pic
ture-postcard acquaintance with nat
ural scenery, have, imagine, a spir-
itual affinity with one type of land
scape more than all others, writes
Richard LIE Gallienne, in Harper's.
That landscape, whatever it may be,
answers to our inner selves, our pre-
vailing temper, or our varying
moods, as none other With it we
feel spiritually at home. Other land
scapes may impress or delight us,
but with this alone we can satisfying
ly live. 1t is as though we were born
for it. Our eyes are at peace in it,
our beings, as it were, a part of it.
For some, it is mountains; for
some, meadow-lands; for some, a
Northern austerity; for others, a
Southern softness. For some, the
palm; for others, the pine. Some af-
feet landscape of strongly marked
features, snow-clad peaks, rocky
gorges; others, the bizarre contrasts,
the fantastic vegetation, of the trop-
icss Many-though these hardly
count in these present considerations
see beauty only where others have
seen it before and have given to it
the official stamp of conventional ar
tistic expression. They admire Mag
ara or the Grand Canyon as ignor-
antly as they admire the Venus de
Milo. Set them down, however, say,
in the Lincolnshire fens, and they
are as uncomfortable as in the pres
ence of Monet. They always need
a Wordsworth or a Ruskin to give
them their cure. If they have no
one to quote, they have nothing to
say, or even to feel.
Now it is just the opposite with
those who are in vital relation with
natural scenes. The more they have
been painted or praised, the more
difficult it is for them to get into any
personal rapport with them. The life
seems to have been painted or writ
ten out of them. They suffer in the
same way as certain overquoted lit
erary masterpieces, like Poe's
Raven" or Tennyson's "Come into
the Garden, Maud" It seems i'm
possible to see them with fresh eye.
A friend and I were recently sit
ting in a beautiful tropical garden,
giant palms, immense banana fronds
all around us-a scene, indeed, very
lovely.
"But," said my friend, ''in spite of
all the beauty, don't you fell as
though it is rather like a scene out
of a comic opera?'
There is just what I mean. He
might have said much the same
thing had we been seated on ter
race overhung by the Swiss noun
tains. Alas! such scenes have come
to seem too much like natures stage
properties.

HOW ABOUT 1T, BAMBERGIANS?
Think This Over For our Own
Towns Sake.

The Chronicle isn't in the job
printing business any longer-thank
the Lord, or fire, or something-but
we haven't been rid of our own trou-
bles in that line long enough to be
able to forget the other fellow. So,
here is word for him, and one very
much to the point, as we find it in
an exchange:
"A Kansas printer has notified the
merchants of his town that he will
soon be in need of a pair of shoes, a
new shirt, and a sack of -four, and
that he will call for bids on these
items, as that is the custom of the
merchants when they want four dol
lars worth of printing"
That's about the way of it. No.
body would think of asking a mer-
chant to "bid' on pair of 81 shoes,
but the merchant will turn right
around and ask a half dozen local
printers to bid on a thousand letter
heads, with 81, and the chances are
some foolish printer will cut the
price to S325 before the ''bidding'
has ended-thus losing his own
profit, and keeping some other print
er from making one.
If there was ever any line of busi-
ness in Augusta that has had to fight
for it's very life, it is the job print
ing business. And yet, there is no
particular reason why city shouldn't
want it's job printers to be fairly
prosperous-at least, to make a le-
gitimate proft-which will never be
the case as long as the present sys-
tenn of "bidding' on every blessed
little job is in vogue.
It is something for the merchant
and business people of Augusta gen.
orally to think about very seriously;
for it is a matter that concerns every
one who is interested in seeing every
line of business in the community
succeed. The remedy is-give your
job printing to whatever printer you
please, and tell him to charge you
what it is worth. Or ask his price
first; but don't waste a whole lot of
your time, trying to find some printer
who will do your work without a
profit to himself. You wouldn't ex-
pect that of any other line of busi-
ness in your city-except, of course,
the papers.-Augusta Chronicle.

Dry cleaning at home is inexpensive

OIL PETITIONS
CLOSED TO-DAY

At council meeting this evening an
ordinance will be introduced to pro-
vide for the assessment of abutting
properties the entire cost of applying
a road binder to macadam streets
which are being reconstructed or re-
modelled. No change is made in the
system of having the city defray the
entire cost of rebuilding or remodel
ing the streets. The binder cost repre-
sents only small proportion Of the
cost of street construction.
Today was the last for the filing of
petitions for street oiling and quite a
few were received.
Property owners on South Eigh-
teen street, wanted that street oiled
but refused to pay the cost of the i'm
provement unless the city carried out
an agreement to resurface the street,
This the city agreed to do. The prop
erty owners then deposited their ad-
vance paymen for the oiling cost.
A petition was received for the max
ing of North Seventeenth street be-
tween North F and ] streets. The
petitioners asked that the street be
graded and macadam surface put
down. They also asked for cement
curbs and cutters. The petition was
referred to the engineer.

years raids have been conducted on

caught this year, if l have to detail

LONDON, April 17-Following the

general staff assumed absolute control
of the government, says a dispatch
from Athens.
The most important question which
demands q solution now Is the demand
of the allies for use Of the railway.

troops from the Adrfatic to the
Egean coast.
Teutons Make Protest.
A strong protest has been lodged by
the German allies against Greece CIV
ing the Anglo-French forces control
of the railway lines.
Greece is more completely under the
domination of the entente powers than
at any other time since operations be-
came active in the Balkans The in
dications are that allied troops will be
landed in Crete, as British and French
warships are now anchored of the

There was a conference between
Premier Skouloudis and members of
his cabinet last night at which a
message was read from King Constan-
tine. This message, 1t was indicated
by Athens advices, contained the
kings views upon the allies demands
for use of the trans-Greek railways.
~. Feeling Runs High.
Public feeling has become very high
as a result OF the new crisis which
faces the country. Threatened by
both alliances, Greece is in serious
position. Much resentment is being
expressed in the Greek capital over

ernments.

BOARD TO REOPEN
new BRIDGE PLAN

The Main street bridge question will
be formally opened by the county
commissioners Saturday morning.
Bridge Engineer Mueller has been or
dered to appear before the board for
the purpose of explaining what steps
ought to be taken at this time in ar.
irving at some conclusion on the type
of bridge which should be built. He
will be instructed by the commission
ers to complete plans and present
them to the board.
Mueller has been working on two
plans for a bridge built on the level,
and another for a bridge on an in
cline, although with not quite so much
grade as the present one. The type of
bridge will depend largely on the ne
gotiations with the c. and o. railroad

REV. MURRAY HOLDS
UP SOME FALLACIES

The weakness of popular demonstra-
tions in religion. politics or business,
as an indication of power and loyalty,
was brought out by Rev. L. E. Murray
in her sermon at the First Christian
church, Sunday morning.
The few reliable adherents Christ
had at the time of his suffering were
more to Him than all the multitude
with their shouting" said Rev Murray.
Popular demonstrations do not carry
much weight
The two extremes in religion-the
extremely emotional and the extremely
unemotional-were described by the
speaker.
