POSED ACT.

Other counties like the Maury coun-
ty road law. In his speech to the
County Court this morning, Represen-
tative T. Y. English stated that after
he received his copy Of Thursdays
Herald containing the proposed road
law for Maury county. representatives
from thirty counties had read the
paper, taken his copy, had stenogra.
pliers to make duplicates Of it and
had announced their intention of try
ing to have the law made applicable
to their counties. This, he said, indi-
Gated that either the legislature and
the County Court were all right or
both were all wrong.

exemplary citizen, died on Sunday af-

Mcdonald had been seriously sick for
several weeks and no hope was held
out for his recovery. The end was
not unexpected.
He was seventy-nine years Of age
and until fewWears ago was one Of
the leading business men of the coun-

in the lumber business in this state
and also in Florida. For great many
years he was a resident of the Camp

COUNTY ROAD LEVY
IN CITIES RAISES
hoOTEO. QUESTIONS
WILL STREETS BE WORKED BY
COUNTY HIGHWAY BOARD OR
CITY AUTHoRlTlES.A
OR WILL AUTHORITY CONFLICT?
These And A Number OF Other Quer-
les Are Presented in the Action
Taken by the County Court at its
Meeting on Saturday.

| II the legislature enacts the pro-
posed road law as amended and
changed by the County Court on Sat-
urday will the county highway com.
missioners assume Jurisdiction of and
work the thirty miles of streets of the
city of Columbia just as they do the
highways in the Ninth district and
outside Of the city Of Columbia?
This is the question that is being
vigorously discussed pro and con by
the taxpayers of city and county.
Many opinions have been expressed
upon the subject and some hold to
the view that any attempt to levy the
tax in the city would prove illegal.
On the other hand the view is ad-
vanced that the levy can be made upon
the property Of the city, but when col.
lected a portion OF the money must
be expended by the highway commits
sioners on the streets of Columbia. A
sixteen cent tax on the property of
the city would probably not be more
than sufficient to maintain the streets
Of Columbia, so that the roads outside
Of the city would really get no benefits
from the proposed levy.
Again, will the city dismiss its road
workers when this tax is levied and
permit the county highway board to
manage and direct the expenditure for
the maintenance and upkeep Of the
streets of Columbia. This is another
query that has been suggested by the
atcion of the County Court. Or will
there be two authorities, each working
the streets Of the city and each claim
ing authority over them?
Again, will Representatives English
and Russell stand sponsor for pro-
'ision that is so fraught with danger
rom almost every viewpoint, or will
they follow the beaten paths of legis-
lation and strike it out No one
knows. About all that is definitely
known is that the court in adopting
the amendment to tax the property
of the incorporated towns created =
very, very interesting situation.

W0MAN'S DRESS NOT MODERN
Recently Discovered Drawings Prove
That Dame Fashion Has Reigned
for Quite a Lengthy Period.

Rock drawings recently laid bare In
the Spanish peninsula have discovered
to us very interesting period of pre-
historic man. From lecture recent
ly delivered in London by Sir Arthur
Evans of the British Archaeological as
sOciatiOn it appears that palaeOlithic
woman was not only dressed, but most
gracefully. At COgul the drawings in
dicate that the sacred dance was per-
formed by women, clad from the waist
in the rock shelter of Alpera the dress
of the same skirted ladies is supple
mented by thin flying sashes. In the
paintings at Cueva de la Viege women
are seen with still longer gowns ris-
ing to their bosoms, their shoulders
yelled in scarfs.
Thus we are astOniShed to find that
fashion has a much longer history
than has been hitherto believed.
These recent discoveries are the
more interesting because hitherto
amongst a wealth of wonderfully
drawn animals and sign writings the
human figure has been extremely rare
in European discoveries of the kind,
and it is reassuring to know that our
predecessors at period even as re-
mote as this were not without the
charm and comfort of clothes, and
that woman was then, as now, a pi-
oneer the great and enthralling arts
of dress and adornment.

DEAD HEAD WAS OF SOME USE
He Always Paid Many Times Over
for Favor Received From
Railroads.

Dead-head! They called him
"dead-head," the writer, whom the gen.
eral passenger agent used to be privi-
legged to invite to go over his line and
tell his story. And as courtesy begets
courtesy, so in the days gone by, be-
fore free transportation was made an
offense before the law, brilliant writ
ers, literary men and women, enjoying
the privilege and esteeming it as such,
put some of the best brains In what
they wrote. They were not writing
for pay. Some couldn't be hired. They
weres guests of the railways, honored
and entertained as such and their souls
were in their stories. Had it been the
for filthy lucre it would have been the
job of an unknown. They made it the
inspiration of an artist. The stories
they wrote, money could not buy. The
t3st and most inspiring descriptions of
our great natural wOnders-Y Osemite,
Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Mag
ara Falls, the White mountains and the
Rockies, were written by the so-called
"dead-heads" of the past. The stories
they wrote are part Of our history.
They were little classics. Nothing has
equaled them since and nothing will
rival them in the future. So much
must be said for the dead-head of
days gone by.-Leslie's.

PIPE DREAMS OF CITY MAN
Raising s7uds at One Dollar a 6UsheI
Certainly Looks Good to Us,
BY Heck!

When l am old and bent and worn,
with hair all gray and pants all torn,
and town has grown too swift for me,
and in my backs a miseree, I'll take
my bundle meath my arm and go and
settle on a farm, and I'm the spring
and in the mud each square foot
will plant a spud, then with a nice
self-startIng hoe I'll coax the lowly
spud to grow, as spuds were never
coaXed before, and they shall twine
about my door, and shall drink up
the morning dew, and shade the wind
ing avenue that sort Of turns and
twists and crawls to get to my an
cestral halls.
And paris green by pecks I'll lug
to put on each pertater bug. I'll keep
the weeds out of the rows, and when
hot wind comes and blows I'll
sprinkle each one from a can and sit
beside it with q fan until the danger
has gone by; will not let it wilt and
die.
And when dead leaves are earth
ward tossed and when a norther
threatens frost I'll get cute little
union suits to put upon the spuddish
+ ITS. shall know each last spud
hs name and pet each one and make
1t tame; so that when autumn comes
apace I'll go and open up my face
beside the bars and call each spud by
name, and it shall leave the mud, and
leave the vine, and leave the tree,
when my call comes, and follow me.
And shall hike away to town and
where the roads 60 winding down the
spuds shall follow me, and go where
hungry men rush to and fro in search
of spuds, and they shall pay a plunk
peck for spuds that day, and l shall
get wad of kale as big as any cotton

ViqiIance Committee.

The vigilance committee Of colonial
times, an unauthorized loosely con-
nected body of citizens representing
public opinion, was formed in the 13
American colonies Immediately pre-
ceding the revolution. Its object pri-
marily was to enforce the agreement
not to use British products, but later
the scope was enlarged, investigation
being made as to suspected persons
loyalty to the American cause and
punishment being meted out to Tories.
At first the activities were secret.

TO DEVELOP COAL MARKETS
Uncle Sans Commerce Boosters See
in This a Means of Building Up
American Merchant Marine.

An investigation Of South American
markets for coal will he undertaken by
Uncle Sans bureau Of foreign and do
mestic commerce. 1t is held that
South America is the most logical mar
ket in the world for American coal
and that a thriving business in that
commodity will be an important factor
in building up merchant marine.
British economists are agreed that
much of England's success in merchant
shipping is due to the fact that Welsh
coal has always been available for re-
turn cargoes.
Latin America is promising mar
ket for coal because it has very lim-
tied supplies of its own. Chile, Peru,
and Bolivia In particular need coal
and have an abundance of minerals to
ship in return. NitrnteS and iron, cop
Der, and tin ore can he brought to this
country more cheaply if full cargoes
of coal can be taken back on the re-
turn voyage.

MINES YIELD FORTUNE
Arizona Produces $34, 100000
in Dividends in Year.
Uncle Sans Final Figures on Mineral
Output In 1916 Expected to Show
Total Of $4,000, 900, 900.

Ten mines in Arizona paid S34,0 ,0OO,-
900 In dividends during the past year.
Adding Utah, Montana, Nevada and
Idaho dividends to those Of Arizona
we have a total of over $lOO,OOO,OOO
in dividends paid out of the mines of
these five western states In a single
year.
There are some of the impressive
facts brought out by the report of Un-
Gle Sans geological survey to Secre-
tary Lane.
Never before" said Mr.. Lane, "has
so large a draft been made on the nat.
ural resources of our country as during
this year, and never before have the
metals been extracted from these ores
with less waste or utilized to better ad-
vantage in advancing the general pros
perlty of the country. Even as writ
ten in the plain figures of 1915 prOduc-
ton the wonderful record Of our mines
sets forth degree of national indus
trial independence only hoped for II
few years ago.
Again copper stands out as the best
Illustration of how American mines can
meet world demand. The output
of nearly 2,0OO,0O0,OO0 pounds of the
red metal is double that of ten years
ago and its value is twice that of the
copper produced in 1918. Add to this
the facts that in value copper now con
tends with iron for first place among the
metals and that together the amount
of these two metals produced last year
had a value of more than $1,000,OGO,OOO
and we have a measure of what this
country can contribute in useful met
ais.
"The output Of zinc from domestic
ores increased last year $4,000 tons,
which makes new record for that
metal, the total value of spelter from
United States ore being $15O000,O00.
Lead also shows large increase, the
$75,000,000 output being gain or
more than SO per cent.
with all this activity in metal pro-
ductiOn the coal mines have had to
meet a heavy demand, so that the bit
luminous coal output has now passed
the 5O0,000,000 ton mark, an increase
Of 1212 per cent over the previous
year. Coke production increased 81
per cent and it is gratifying to nCte
that by-product coke made the largest
gain, which means a corresponding
gain in benzol and other valuable by.
products.
"The reports received from the sur,
veyS western offices contain most sig
nitlcant mining records. Every west
ern state shows large increase in
yield of metals, Arizona leading with
a gain of $100,0OO,00O over last year
while Utah and Montana together re-
port another $100,0O0,O0O gain. Alaska
also had its best year, contributing
a total value of more than $50,O00,O0L
this year, or over 50 per cent in excess
of any previous year.
"TheSe advance statements not only
show that 1916 marks new advance
for the mineral industry of the cOun
try, but this remarkable increase prom
ises to be approximately % per cent
over the 1915 production, so that We
may expect the final figures to show
a total of $3,0OO,00O,O
