No Cotton Fabric
Laid On Roads Yet

coat has first been applied" Payne
said. "Thus the first layer of gravel
or crushed stone and tar or asphalt
must be put down first. The cotton
fabric is then put down, another coat
of tar or asphalt applied and then
another layer of gravel or crushed
stone with the bituminous binder. The
purpose of the cotton fabric is to hold
the layers of stone and tar together
and to help keep water from seeping
through into the clay and gravel
base"
This cotton fabric looks more like
fish net than like cloth, since it is
very loosely woven. But when it is
saturated and impregnated with tar
or asphalt, it becomes very strong, is
thoroughly waterproofed and helps to
hold the various layers of crushed
stone and tar or asphalt together.
Highway engineers believe that the
use of this fabric in the building of
surface treated roads will make the
paving or surface treatment last al
most twice as long as those built with
out it. The average surface treated
road has to be re-surfaced every three
or four years. But in South Carolina
there are roads built with cotton
fabric which are still in good condi-
ton after eight years.

It is now generally conceded that
the 1897 General Assembly will have
to find approximately $12,OO0,O0O more
revenue than the 1885 General AS
sembly found in order to carry out
the program which Mr.. Hoey advo-
Gated in his campaign. This means
that the finance committees and later
the General Assembly as a whole, will
have to go over every possible source
of new revenue with a fine tooth
comb, that a good many tax schedules
will have to be increased and a num-
Der of new taxes added, in addition
to the retention of the sales tax. For

with the party. This would also serve
to get his administration off to a good
start and assure him of a fairly peace
full two years for the first half of his
administration. For if MIR. Hoey could
show the State at the outset that he
had control of the legislature and that
it was in sympathy with his program,
this would give him unusual prestige
with all factions, even if the McDon-
aldites should continue to complain
about "the machine" it is agreed. A
short session would also serve to
make Mr.. HOey more solid than ever
with the business interests of the
State, since it is no secret that bust
ness generally becomes jittery during
every session of the General Assem-
bly,, since it never knows what the
assembly S going to do with regard
to taxes.
But in spite of the desire for a short
session of the Legislature on the part
of Mr.. Hoey and many others, present
indications are that the 1887 session
will last at least four months, if not
even longer, and that Mr. Hoey can
not expect to have any smoother sail

in recent years.
Hunt for Money Delays.
The factor that has served to bring
about long legislative sessions in the
past more than anything else has been
the hunt for additional revenue with
which to meet steadily increasing
State appropriations. This was what
kept the 1881 session here for so long,
was what finally led to the adoption
of the sales tax in 1888 and again IN
1885, after the legislature had spent

MORALE IN
PEN|TENT|ARY SEEN
1t Is Due In Large Measure
To Better Food Served
To Prisoners
Daily Dispatch Burenu.
In The Sir Walter HOteA,
Nv 4 a. HASH gCUlVlI

Raleigh, July % Two factors
which have had more to do with bring
ing about a better morale among the
prisoners in the Central Prison here,
as well as throughout the entire pri-
son system, are better food and the
fact that prisoners no longer have any
difficulty in getting an opportunity to
talk to prison officials and are treat
ed with consideration, Prisoner No.
CP21611, who has been in Central Pri-
son here for eight years, told Chair
man Capus Waynck in letter he
wrote him recently.
Because Of the changes which have
been taking place in the handling of
prisoners which | have been inform
ed are a part of definite program
instituted at your suggestion, l am
writing that you may know of the
appreciation of myself and Others
this prisoner said. Having been in
prison eight years. I feel l have been
thrown in contact with enough of the
prisoners to know the reaction of
many of them.
Oscar T. Pitts, our executive di-
rector has won the respect OF all who
have come in contact with him. He is
never too busy to listen to prisoner
and whatever he promises is done and
done promptly. He has shown by his
actions that he intends to give every
man mere a square deal. The assis-
tant warden, j. Winder Bryan, has
the same attitude of being willing to
talk with the men that Mr.. Pitts has
and is constantly among the men dur
ing their working and leisure hours.
He has helped many of them by get
ting statements of time served, which
are invaluable to a prisoner.
Regardless of what may be done
for a man, when he is hungry he is
never satisfied. The steward, A. E.
Cole, by steadily improving our food,
has laid a splendid foundation for
MI Pitts and Mr.. Bryan to work up
on. Men who have been here much
shorter periods than myself can re-
member the large number of fights
which formerly occurred here. Today
fight is a rarity. That the morale
IS better than it has ever been is a
known fact and I feel that the food
has been the foundation on which this
improvement has been built. Most of
the prisoners deeply appreciate all
these things and are trying to show
their appreciation through better
conduct"

The cause of Ethiopia is by no means
lost, the Empress Menen said in an
exclusive interview in the royal suite
Of the King David Hotel.
The fugitive Empress was seated on
q low stool. A black silk cape almost
covered her. Her mass of bushy black
hair formed closely cropped coiffure
above an intelligent and kindly face.
Her daughter. the Princess Tsahai,
acted as interpreter. A dark-hued
lady-in waiting was also in attend
auce when the secretary to Emperor
Halle Selassie presented me.
I bowed before the imperial pres
ence, but soon senSed that this was
just an informal meeting between two
women, so advanced, shook hands and
expressed the sympathy of women
the world over for the plight of the
courageous Empress and her people in
Ethiopia.
The Empress responded: I'VE shall
never forget the numerous expressions
of encouragement received from all
parts of the world and are deeply
touched by the messages of sympathy
for the Ethiopian cause, which is by
