Chicago newspapers have made an

getting on the train.
The conductor called halt when
the little sister insisted on bringing
editor Horton a string of fish (brain

The young lady put on the new
hat which she bought and wore it
home, throwing the old one away as
soon as she got the new one, fearing
we suppose, that she might be called
on to wear the old one again, and not
remembering the Belgians. She came
home very, very tired from so much
sightseeing. Her little jaws were
also tired from chewing so much
chewing gum.

The original idea was to have

The original idea was to have a
system of county-to-county highways
to be built by the state, but when it
was called to. the attention of the
public that such a system would
really not improve the transportation
facilities of the people generally, it
became necessary for some of the
advocates of the roads to abandon
advocacy of this system.
The same general question but in
another form has given rise to a
controversy between the News and
Courier and the Index-J ounal. The
former contends that the roads
should be built as one system, or in
other words, that there should be a
state system, while the IndeX-Journal
contends that the county should be
the authority which shall contract
for the construction of the roads.
Manifestly, if the number of people
to be served is the turning point, or
if the matter of giving the people
better marketing facilities, or a bet
ter way to reach the markets is to
be considered, then these roads
should be built by the counties. If
on the other hand we shall take
thought of those people who desire
to swing around the state, or 60 to
the mountains, or to that part of the:
travelling public which seeks to visit
the larger places in the state, or to
manufacturers desiring to ply their
trade between the towns, the News
and Courier is right. 1t is all a
question Of who is to be served, and
largely a question of whether the
roads are to be built for one pur-
pose, or for an entirely different pur-
pose.
Until all the matters are settled
between the advocates of the roads,
those who desire to 60 slow, and to
be sure that no mistake is being
made, may wait awhile before TAX
ing action.

SEEING THE SIGHTS.

Miss Carrie Cochran, who is the
best typesetter in the city, went over
to Atlanta on Saturday for the day.
She was accompanied by her little
sister, Hannah, who went along to
see the tall buildings, to ride on the
street cars, and to take a look at the
bear out at Grants Park. She had
already seen a big newspaper plant,
having been in the Office of the Press
and Banner several times when we
were getting off our semi-weekly
editions.
Little Miss Hannah enjoyed her
self extensively. She rode on the
street cars until the money set apart
for that purpose was entirely ex-
hausted. She liked the cars fine but
she fell out with one of the conduc-
tors when he refused to stop his car
long enough for her to get off at a
soft drink stand and take pink
lemonade. The tall buildings also
pleased her, but she was greatly
worried about what became of the
smoke as she went all around one of
them and could not find the chimney.
But the old bear was too much for
the little girl, because when she hap
pened to step too near the cage he
reached out and got the red apple
which she had been carrying around
all morning. As the First Reader
says, "This made her very angry"
She liked the monkeys though. Jump
ing from limb to limb, they: reminded
her of some editors, while the lazy
looking old camels were just like
some printers she had seen. She din
ed at one of the big hotels in the
city, and insisted on having ice
cream with her soup.
After putting in a full day with the
little girl in the big city Miss Carrie
managed to get home, but the new

COOLING TIME.

Those people who have been writ
ing and wiring Governor Cooper
asking that an extra session of the
General Assembly be called, must
think that the Governor does not
wish to run again.
The Governor is not foolish. The
General Assembly has just adjourn
ed Every possible effort was made
to secure the passage of good roads
legislation, but nothing was accom-
plished. It is hardly possible that
the members who so recently voted
against this proposed legislation have
changed their minds so soon.
We have been a long time with
out the good roads which we are
now promised. If the good roads
movement is right, it will wait and
bear discussion. The issue will live
if it should live, and as it involves
the expenditure of many millions of
dollars in this state, it deserves the
fullest consideration, and plenty of
time for that purpose. It will not
DO to vote bonds in haste and repent
at leisure.
There are many questions yet to
be settled, after it has first been de-
cided that the roads are to be built.
Matters of the supposed benefits to
accrue, and the people entitled to
these benefits, as we'll as the kind
of construction, materials, and Ia
Dor are to be considered. We shall
not lose anything, we think, if we
give the people time to think about
all these. things, after cooling time.
No better proof Of the conclusion
stated could be asked than the fact
that the advocates of bond issues for
the construction Of these foads are
not agreed among themselves as to
the methods to be adopted, nor as to
