FLOYD’S PIKE ROADS
Splendid Work Being Done on Calhoun
Road By Convicts.
WILL COIR INTO WHITER QUARTERS
'Takes From Four to six Weeks to Build a
Mil* of Pike—Floyd’s Roads Have
Made Her Famous.
Floyd’s county convicts will be
moved In near the city limits to go in
to winter quarters between now and
the that of the year.
The camps are at present on the
Calhoun road six miles from the city,
where some magnificent pike has
been built. Several miles of old mac
-adamized road has been put In
'thorough repair,and two miles of beau
tiful new road built. Three more
miles of pike will be built, but this
work will not be finished until some
time in the spring.
Superintendent Rhodes Hackney
was seen by a Tribune reporter re
cently, and said:
** We have progressed most favora
bly on the Calhoun road, considering
that we had some heavy grading to
do. There were several steep hills
which had to be cut down, It takes
from four to six weeks to thoroughly
macadamize a mile of road. Os
course, circumstances of grading,
convenience of material, number of
handstand such things must be taken
into consideration.
“At present we have 62 people in
the chaingang, Five are women, one
or two cripples, and two or three boys,
which brings, our available road
working force down to about 52
\ands. We are using limestone rock
<1 the Calhoun road. If I had a
bavy steel roller it wouid be a great
hip in cementing the pike and mak
iq> it smooth at once. As it 'is the
pasage of vehicles must grind the
stcne into its ultimate smooth and
eigitly appearance. These roads at
firs are rough and are not pleasant
to travel over. The health of our
• catty is excellent, and the convicts all
apptar contented. ”
Piobably Floyd’s magnificent pikes
hav< done more to advertise the
county all over the country than any
other one thing. The work of mak
ing every principal public highway
leading out of Rome, and radiating in
to every part of the county has been
going steadily on for several years.
Floyd uses her own convicts in that
manner and rents those from several
other counties in North Georgia.
It is proposed next year to build .a
magnificent macadamized road from
Rome to Cave Spring, and as nearly
in a straight line as possible. This
will be of vast benefit to Cave Spring,
Rome and the entervening territory.
A number of new iron bridges will
be built over Floyd streams. One is
nowunder construction over Silver
■ Creek between Lytles and East Rome.

Petit Larceny Not Woman’s Sin Alone.
The story comes from England of a
novel being found in the strong room of
a firm of publishers written entirely
upon the note paper of a London club.
The thing is significant for two reasons:
First, because the novelist was a man,
and, second, because petty larceny has
long been supposed to be the prerogative
of woman. It is a fact that, in this
country at least, it is women who pilfer
the detachable privileges to be found in
railway stations, the waiting room of
department stores, hotels and like
places. It has been found necessary to
chain Bibles themselves. It isn’t so very
long ago that when a woman arose to
read her bulky extemporaneous address
at the meeting of a certain woman’s
■club, her listeners, upon the back of
each sheet of manuscript, could descry
the sign and seal of a well known hotel.
This wasn’t so bad, of course, as a
whole book, but it was bad enough.—

KNEW JOHN HASTEN COOK.
Mr. L. C. Winn, a Traveling Salesman,
College Mate of Famous Writer.
Mr. L. C. Winn, representing the
Carter White Lead company of Chioag o
and Omaha, is in the oity. Mr. Winn ■
is a Virginian of the old and courtly
school, and is a most entertaining
talker.
“I knew John Easten Cook the fa
mous writer of war stories, intimately,
in fact was in college with him. I could
never exactly understand how he came
to be placed on Jackson’s staff, because
he was a dreamer and had little of the
practical about him.
“I was not with Jackson, because I
bad gone West for my health when
Virginia seceded. My brother, however,
was on bis staff, and my father was a
director in the V. M. 1., where Gen.
Jackson was a professor. Cook was a
scholarly fellow, and even in his boy
hood was devoted to books and literary
pursuits. ”
Mr. Winn is full of stories of those
stirring time, and his memory for events
of those four yean is marvelous. In his
earlier years he was on the staff of the
Richmond Whig and when the famous
Mosby was its editor.

well known. Not
only should the
outside of the
body be perfectly clean; but the interior
of the body as well Clean teeth, clean
mouth, throat, clean nasal pas
sages, are all requisites of perfect
health. The whole body, as well as
every organ in the body, is lined with
mucous membrane, which is even more
liable than the skin to become very
dirty. The most frequent cause of un
clean mucous membrane is catarrh.
Catarrh creates unnatural secretions,
even though the catarrh be very slight
In this condition good health is impos
sible.
Dr Hartman has made a specialty of
treating chronic catarrh for nearly 40
years. His great remedy (Pe-ru-na) tas
become known throughout the United
States and Canada. It is certainly the
best, and probably the only effective in
ternal remedy for chronic catarrh. Its
cures are permanent. The Doctor is also
the author of many books on ohionic
catarrh. His latest book on the subject

Luther’s fiojes.
It is generally supposed that the
bones of the great reformer were torn
from their last resting place in the
church of the castle of Wittenberg dur
ing the Thirty Years’ war and scattered
to the winds, like those of Wyclif.
At all events, no trace of Luther’s tomb
has hitherto been discovered. One of
the biographers of Luther, Herr Koest
lin of Halle, has, however raised no
little' sensation in religious circles in
Germany by a recent article in a theo
logical magazine which throws over the
accepted explanation of the disappear- ,
ance of the reformer’s tomb as mere fic
tion. He declares that two workmen
engaged on the restoration of the church
in Wittenberg castle came across the
coffin and body of Luther without let
ting any of their comrades know of i
their find. It is alleged that they enter- !
ed the chapel by night and dug out the ,
remains, secretly reinterring them, in '
fear of arrest. There ought to be no
difficulty in discovering whether there 1
is any truth in Herr Koestlin’s state
ment.—Westminster Gazette.

Trap* and Trapping.
The ways of trapping are as various
as the ingenuity of savage or civilized
man can devise. I like best the traps
that one can make. They seem to give
the animal a fairer show; they develop
our own constructive faculties, and the
, nearer we can get to the savage way
the more fun it always is. titeel traps
have a place that wooden traps can nev
er fill, but give me something that I
can make with my own hands, with the
simplest tools, out of whatever materi
als the spot affords where the animal
lives.
Os all the animals in this country
there is none that affords less harmful
sport than the rabbit—more properly
hare—of which there are several spe
cies. Its wonderful powers of increase
| enable it to hold its own, as far too
' many of our best and most valuable
animals do not. Furthermore, rabbits
are very easily trapped.
I Every one knows its little trail, as
broad as one’s hand, through the bushes
or broom sedge, or its footprints as it
hops over the clear snow. Here, where
the path goes under a fence rail, it has
stopped to gnaw. The rabbit follows
this path in season and out, though in
the far north, where the snow keeps
piling and piling up, its little road may
change with each successive snowfall.
Trappers there put out a large number
of snares, setting them right in the mid
dle of the paths.—Harper’s Round Ta

FHP. DREYrUS CASE AGAIN.
BsteHtasy >*fd to Han Admitted Antheu
tiO.ty of certain Letters.
Paris, Dea L —Major Oonut Fernand
Walrin Esterhazy, the retired French
army officer who is charged with hav
ing written the letter which led to. the'
imprisonment on Devil’s island of Al
fred Dreyfus, former captain of French
artillery, who was convicted by court
martial of selling military secrets to the
agents of a foreign power, is said to
have acknowledged the authenticity of
the letters recently published by Figaro,
with the exception of one, which is said
to have expressed the following senti
ments:
"If tonight I were told that I should
be killed tomorrow as captain of uhlans,
while sabring Frenchmen, I should cer
tainly be perfectly happy. L would not
harm a dog, but I would see 100.000
Frenchmen killed with pleasure, ”
It is understood that the report of
General Pellieux, who was appointed to
investigate the charges brought against
Count Esterhazy, states that he is satis
fied with the guilt of Dreyfus.
However, there is general indignation
here at General Pellieux’s statement,
as he has not inquired into the possi
bility of Esterhazy having written the
memorandum upon which Dreyfus was
convicted, which is one of the charges
brought against the count, the general
simply remarking that he considers that
the oourtmartial definitely settled that
point. ________
