To Inspect State Prison Atlanta, Ga., July 12.—The penitentiary committees of both senate and house left today for Milledgeville, to inspect the state prison there and investigate con ditions. The committee was ac companied by several other mem bers of the assembly who admit ted that their visit was inspired largely by a desire to see the noted Leo M. Frank, now an in mate at that institution. | ~ Itis said that an exhaustive ireport will be made recomending ‘improvements at the state farm, as previously urged by the prison commission. It is shown in the last report of that body that all ‘of the improvements now being demanded were urged by the lboard, and that had they been granted last year the typhoid, which has made its appearance at the farm would not have had the chance to spread.

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE FRIDAY JULY 23 1915 How to Make And Keep The Roads Smooth The traffic on earth and gravel roads has a constant tendency to develop ruts, chuck holes, and de pressions. The chief aim and pur pose of road maintenance is to pre vent and remedy this destructive action. To be successful and effi cient, road maintenance must be systematic and continuous. Hap hazard work is expensive and un satisfactory, If the road is very rough and uneven or the crown very low the road machine or grader is very efficient for placing it in shape. One must guard, however, against the all too common practice of scraping the sod and other vege table matter and refuse from the sides and ditches on to the road in general, on the clay and heavy soil roads all vegetable or spongy material should be carefully ex cluded. Such materials absorb moisture readily and furnish but little resistance against wear. The road surface should be built up with the best material possible material which will pack and con solidate under traflic and which will be as nearly water proof as possible and will wear uniformly. In general the road machine or grader should be used in the spring of the year while the ground is moist and in such condition that it wlll work easily and at the same time pack well under passing traffic, Considerable skill and judgement is required to use the road grader to the best advantage, An unskilled and careless operator will sometimes actually leave the road lln a worse condition than when he began work. Do not scrape sod and refuse into the road. Good earth 1s far better as it will not decay nor absorb mois ture so readily. Do not be guilty of the too common practice of leaving a windrow of clouds or loose earth along the middle of your road to impede traffic and absorb water at the first rain. Leave the roads smooth over the entire surface and traffic wiil spread and be less likely the pro duce ruts. Always use the grad er in such a way as to make the road bhetter and not worse for the passing traffic. When the road has been placed in good condition as to crown and smoothness the road drag is the best tool for maintaining it in that condition. Drag the road after each rain while the surface is still moist but not sticky. Use a light drag and move only a vary little earth—just sufficient to fll the ruts and depressions and leave a slight surplus if the crown is low. Ride on the drag and shift your position accordicg to] the amount of eairth necessary to be moved. If the rain has been of long duration it may be advisable to drag the road twice; first very soon after the rain, and again when the clay is drying out or beginning to set. Do not drag a dry road. Success ful dragging is dependent on a certain amount of water or mois ture in the road surface. Praciical ly all clays and most soils, if not too sandy, will puddle if worked when wet, and oz diying out will set very hard. The drag in con nection with traffic is essentially a puddling machine, which, when properly used, leaves the road surface crowned and covered with a smooth layer of puddled and densely packed soil. This layer is as nearly impervious to water as it is possible to make lit. Follow ing rains find little or no place for lodgement, as the water quickly runs off to the side ditches. Un less the rain is long continued the road surface is not softened to any great depth. The prompt use of the drag after each rain leaves the surface smooth and ready to with stand the next storm, Therefore, to make your road smooth, use a road machine or grader to put itin proper shape in the spring of the year, To keep your road smooth, use the road drag judiciously atter each rain. This will keep an earth or gravel road in the best shape in which 1t is possible to maintain it through out the year, ASHTON NEWS Christianity is better felt than expressed.
