The Road Question

Mr. EDITOR
The two most important questions
before the people OF Dorchester
county at this time are the roads
and the schools,
The county CXpcndS about $780,
10000 per year on the roads and
bridges, both OF which seems to be
getting in worse condition, and that
at a time when Improvement is eX-
pected and demanded. From re-
ports in general circulation one is
led to believe that the county has
not gotten value received for a
large portion Ct the sums expended
for shells and general road work,
and the tax paying public is demand
ing better supervision and more
thorough accounting.
Supervision can only come through
the appointment of 4 competent
Road Engineer, who will be expect
Cd to give his whole time and at
tention to the public highways.
Such an Official at q salary OF $4,000
TO $4,000, would be a most excellent
investment for the county when the
amount to be paid out under his
direction is taken into consider
alton.
The engineer would be a judge of
road material and drainage, of course
but the most important part of his
duties would be the organization of
a good working force, composed of
reliable workers who could be de-
pended upon to render satisfactory
service for the pay received. The
County has not room for slackers
on its pay rolls.
With such en- organization, the
matter to be considered is the rails
ing of the money and the kind of
construction that should be at
tempted. l do not believe the coun-
ty should be bonded 10 raise funds
to be expended for temporary work,
or for materials that will last only
a few years. We must have such
work and material but they should
be paid for Ou1 of the annual taxes.
In road building, as in most other
construction, the best is usually the
cheapest and the County authori-
ties, in contemplating work of a
somewhat permanent character
should avail themselves of the as
sistance offered by the U. S. Gov
eminent and by the State Govern
nrent. If half of two-thirds of the
required funds can be secured from
these sources for durable road
building, the County should by all
means raise the remainder even if
a bond issue be required.
In connection with the question
of highway repairs, and the economy
of the problem, the authorities might
well consider if there are not some
loads that could he closed and
abandoned without injury or incon-
yenience to the travelling p&bIic, |
and with much advantage to the
County treasury.
In these days of rapid auromo-

glory; be sceptical, be assured that moth
ing is quite true or untrue; never leave
France, for it is the best country in the
world. One can go on for long time
with these comparisons; one can say that
the German tends to be sentimental, some
what hysterical, devoted to pure ideas, and
ruthless only when inAamed by theory.
One might even generalize about the
American, though that is extremely diff
cult because, at least so I am told, there
are dozen Americas, because the Ameri-
can type varies so much from rigid Maine
to soft California. An American type has
certainly sprung up, energetic, cultured,
tending to excessive ambition, and inclined
to toy with humanitarian ideas; but l
doubt whether it has yet imposed itself,
and whether the immigrants have been
nodded into consistent shape. That, in
sense, is the hope of America, for she
has not yet set hard; she may escape the
thrall of heavy national tradition.-W. L.

A FORTUNE IN A LAKE

The copper treasure stored in the hold
of the steamer Pewabic, which has rested
for more than half century on the bot
tom of Lake Huron off Thunder Bay is
land, near Alpena, Mich, was brought to
the surface some time ago. The steamer
was sunk about the close of the Civil war,
August 5, 1865.
The Pewabic lies in one hundred and
thirty tons of pure copper, worth not less
than two numbered thousand dollars at
pre-war market quotations; several tons

made no further attempt to recover the
copper. In 1880 stories of the Pewabic's
wealth caused the organization of several
expeditions and two or three divers lost
their lives between 1880 and 1884. In
1891 party from Ashland, Wis, made
repeated attempts to reach the wreck with
divers. One diver reached the ship, sent
up souvenirs, and was soon pulled up
dead.~ The diver who went down in the
Goodman suit stayed nearly one hour, and
when he came to the surface said that he
felt that he could have remained longer.
A mechanical arrangement, with endless
belt and scoops was used to carry the cop
per from the ship to dredge at the sur
face, several divers being outftted with
Goodman suits to perform the work in re-
lays, each remaining submerged for about
one hour at time.-Earl William Gage

THE "PEPTIMIST"

An optimist is a man who believes that
the seed he plants in his garden will grow
and look as good as the pictures on the
package.
A pessimist stands beneath the tree of
prosperity and growls when the fruit falls
on his head.
A "peptimist' 1--WE claim to have in
invented this) is the happy medium be-
tween these two.
He doesn't believe, with the optmist,
that the seeds will produce something
equal to the picture on the package; but
he does believe they will grow and bring
some return for his labor.
Should the fruit from the tree of pros
perity fall on his head, he rubs the bump
and grabs the fruit.
When the weather reports say: "Fair
and Warmer" he believes it-and carries
his umbrella.
Like the. optimist, he sees the bright side
of things, and goes ahead, but he also sees
the dark side and prepares to meet it.
And herein lies his success-looking not
alone on the bright side, nor yet on the
dark, but seeing both sides clearly-he
weighs each situation carefully and is pre-
pared.-Bindery Talk.

SHARPENING UP THE AK

A wood cutter was seen very actively
chopping some poles that he had brought
in from the forest He was making them
into kindling and stove lengths for his
household use. 1t was early in the morn
ing and the man was working with all
the energy in his muscular arms, as he
swung the ak and struck clear through
a sapling at each stroke. A new neigh
Dor, not yet used to the wood-cutter's ha-
bits, passed and saw the man at work.
"Guess you'll finish that pile, there; call
it day, and quit, won't you?" sang out
the passer-by.
"No," returned the other, "I'm just
sharpening up the AK"
The man who was doing the choping
continued to make the chips fly until he
had converted the lot into the proper size
and staked it neatly beside the house, ready
for use. Then he shouldered his ak and
started for the big trees in the woods
where he found his regular work.
1t is so easy to toss off a little work, of
one variety or another, and then lay down
the tools with a sigh and say: "Well, 1
guess that'll do for today. I"ll do the
other work tomorrow"
But the man or woman who accom-
plishes real things completes some real
work merely to get himself in trim-just
as preparation for the heavier tasks that
are to follow.
The old woodchopper set real exam
pie, worthy of attention. He went from
what most of us would call days work
right on to the heavy part of his labors,
instead of laying down the blade. Doing
what most men would consider a days
work. merely as a little preliminary
training, just to tune himself up for the
hard work of cutting a chunk out of
forest, stamped that man as one who
would accomplish something.
You don't need to be wood-chopper,
but, the next time you think you have done
a real job, remember that there are men
who, having finished what some men
think ample labor for a day, go right on
to still bigger job-and credit the first
effort merely to sharpening up the AK"
