Pensacola News: The United States oourt_
in this city will probably again be the scene
of one or more important trial* in connection
with pension frauds. Several days a/o Mrs.
Pyiha Ann Sullivan, white, of Jackson countv
was arrested on a warrant issued ov United
States Commissioner Tun Ison of this city at
the instance of Col. J. A. Davis, special agent
of the pension bureau. Mrs. Sullivan was
brought to the < tty several days ago and
placed under bond until Saturday, when the
case was heard before Commissioner Tunt
son. Tne facts of the case developed
oq the trial are a* follows: In
IS® Mrs. Sullivan made appli
cation for a pension as the surviving widow
of Jerry Sullivan who was a member of the
second Florida Cavalry and nerved in the
federal army during the war. In her appli
cation for a pension she ail* ged that she was
married to Sullivan in lkftf* and lived with
him until the war. and again after the war
until JsflA when he died. Her claim was for
warded to Washington and in 1 H'.-O it was al
lowed from 1-66. the time of the alleged
death of Sullivan. she was paid a-out
Hu* ca>h. back pension to that time and al
lowed #l2 per month for the futuie. some
time after this Col. Davis, special agent for;
the pension our* a i accidentally learned that
some fraud had been practiced in ootainiag
the iiension. and he made a special examlua
non m the case This examination
dis-iosed the fact that the mar
riage had taken pla e at the. time
alleged in Mrs. sulllvan s application, out
that - s -l.ivan bad never lived with her after
leaving the army. It was also discovered
that > invan died in |w und not In 1*66 and
that about three davx after tne date of his
death a.h eed in her application for a pen
sion. she hud commenced suit .n the chan
cery court of Ju, itson county for a divorce
trum s>uUivan on the ground of desertion. It
was also found that >ullivan had been in
dieted ia Jackson county, several years after
his alleged death, for living In adultery with
one Tabitha Ann Barfield. These facts were
report",l to the department by Col. Davis and
thereupon Mrs Sullivan sname was dropisd
from the pens.on roll. Subsequently she
made an application to be reinstated, in
which she reiterated under oath the state
merits made in her tirst applica
tion. ' When this second statement
r ached the debarment the matter was
p aced in the hands of Col Davis for thor
ough investigation. 11l result ol this inves
tigation was the arrest of Mrs Sullivan for
perjury and the trial Saturday. After hear
ing the testimony Commissioner Tunison re
served his decision until Monday. 1 uring
the progress of the examination it was de
veloped that Armstrong Ptirdee. a colored at
torney or pension claim agent. located at Ma
rianna, was probably connected with the
Iraud. A warrant for his arrest was issued
and placed in the hands of Deputy Marshal
Rowley, w ho went to Marianna Friday night
Saturday a telegram was received from him
by Commissioner Tunison announcing the ar
rest of Furdee. and that he would arrive In
the city with him Saturday.
ROADS AND DRAINAGE BONDS.
The County Engineer Submits Some
Suggestions Aaent thy Matter.
Savannah, (in., July 20.—Editor Morn
ing News: In connection with your edi
torial of the 27th relative to the issuance
of bonds for drainago and roads, permit
me a few suggestions.
No compulsory labor is equal in quan
tity per capita to free labor and the less
the power to enforce such labor the less
the quantity and the poorer the quality.
Our road law- is a system of compulsory
labor, and, owing to the inability or in
disposition of those in authority to carry
out its provisions, prroduces results the
poorest in quality and the least in quan
tity.
When the United States became a na
tion it was easy and simple to adopt colo
nial'toetbods, and as this.- methods re
lated in some respects to the use and
keeping of the common roads, it was an
easy step to borrow the road
laws of England, since England
was the mother of the colonies. At
that time there wore few better roads
than the English roads and none worse.
There were better road laws than those
of England; but not being printed in the
English language, they had little claim
upon the American affection, if Indeed
they had any place in the field of Ameri
can knowledge. So we adopted
the English law and the En
glish dirt road. That law, like
a hundred others on tlie English statute
boons. his outlive(l its usefulness. It was
a i elic t ff udalism, involving a system of
statute labor which was born of an ignor
ant brain and suited only to answer con
ditions of national poverty, or a system
of serfdom. In the early days of the re
public the fortunes of war and the unde
veloped condition of the country compelled
us to subscribe to the hrst of
these conditions and to yield to the em
barrassments which it imposed. We
were poor, individually and collectively,
and might well have been excused for at
tempting to ’-work” our own roads, even
in that crude and unsystematic wav
which the passing century has bred
within U3 as a natural habit. Hut we
have long since outlived the pains and
trials of national infancy. The American
greenback holds a front rank in the tinan
eial procession. Every species of pub
lic debt, national, state, county
and town, has largely decreased within
tlio last decade. The hanks of the coun
try report a largo increase in the num
ber of individyal depositors as well as a
corresponding swelling of the funds de-.
posited, and every kind of industry seems
to have been enriched in value and quick
ened in its operations by the development
of population and by the adoption of the
thousand and one methods and appli
ances which forever seek a market in
jiopulous centers. Save only the farmer.
He and his industry seem to be beyond
the stimulating influences of modern in
ventions. and while it is true that his
methods of tillage have been improved
and lightened by the use of machinery, it
is no less certain that the general pros
perity of the farmer has not kept pace
with that of other branches of society,
and that the allurements of grain
are no longer conspicuously prom
inent in the geuertil field
of American agriculture. Indeed it
is quite sale to say ttiat farming lands in
general are not increasing in value, With
j the thousands of acres of uncultivated
lands in Chatham county it is well worth
while to inquire why this is so. The
value of farm produce is not essentially
less than in former years The methods
of farm work have been lightened by ini
proved appliances, and from the farmer's
staud|K>iul the conditions are quite as
favorable as at any time in the history of
the country liut from the tand|>oiut of
toe business man and investor, other
lines of business offer more substaut.al
promise. The value of tarm proper!\ in
I these days must dtqamd not only upon the
I quality of the land, its productive qual
I ities and its location, hut it must lie eon
i sidi red also with a sis-* ial view of the
lino# of communication which connect it
with the market Inline uncertainties,

of constant and regular business transac
tions is a blemish which no shrewd busi
ness man will tolerate.
This obstacle to the farmer is the com
mon dirt road By long use. and in some
instances ignorance of a better kind, he
has learned to endure this sort of high
way, and he has not yet learned that in
all the route from the farm to the ultimate
consumer the dirt road which leads from
it to the shipping station is the line of
greatest resistance, and that which im
poses upon him and his neighbors not
only the chief burden of transportation,
but which is maintained at a cost far
exceeding that which is required to keep
in repair the best roads of modern
Europe. It all comes from our adherence
to the antiquated and ridiculous idea of
“working out’’ the road tax. Every
road is a structure, and needs a founda
tion. A good road was never built by ac
cident. nor maintained b.y ignorance. It
is quite as senseless and futile to attempt
to build and maintain a good highway by
calling out A. B and C from their various
personal occupations to dig and scrape a
few miles of soft dirt with hoes and shov
els, as it would be to expect the same per
sons. under a similar system, to contrib
trt-‘Vh. r personal labor in the successful
ere tion rf a court house or county peni
tentiary, In eittier case, it would require
that it be dono intelligently and by per
sons whose knowledge or instruction lit
ted them for that kind of employment.
Moreover, it may be said that
besides these objections, the system of
“working out” road taxes presents cer
tain features which are inequitable as
among citizens themselves. The road fines
are hand to rollert and are seldom ever
paid, while on the other hand the labor
performed by the little squads, who count
their time so cheaply as to render it in
the public service for the sake of saving a
dollar, i3 generally applied w hero it is
likely to tend to their personal
benefit, without regard to the general
requirements of public travel. I believe
I run no risk of successful contradiction
in saving that the money and labor spent
by the people of the state of Georgia
alone within the last half century iu the
keeping of one of the vilest systems of
dirt roads on the face of the earth would
be more than suffice to build and main
tain S,(KXf miles of the best mac
adam roads that modern skill could
produce. The simple fact is
that under the present system the money
is squandered and the labor misapplied,
wasted and practically thrown away.
Drainage, grading aad every elementary
idea involved in the making and keeping
of a good road is ignored, and the work
done without rule, reason or any regard
for ultimate results. On every mile of
dirt road in Chatham county there falls
each year lid.Oik) tons of water. What
becomes'of it! Under the present en
lightened system of working” the roads
we permit this water—such as does not
cut its way out in ruts—to stand in pools
and proceed to churn and mix it with
soft dirt by the use of narrow wheel tires
till the sun's rays carry* it off by the
slow process of evaporation, and then, oc
casionally. in the easy and opportune
time, we apply the lazy process of squaring
our road account with the public by a
kind of shiftless tinkering, which
makes the road even worse and
leaves it all the more sus
ceptible to the dissolving influence of the
succeeding showers. Thj whole system
is wrong. Other nations, and states and
counties of this nation )i:iv abandoned
it. Their farming proi*erties have im
proved in value, and the payment of
road taxes in money under a system
which requires that the highways' shall
be properly made and properly kept
throughout the year has produced such
amazing results in the enhancemen* of
rural conditions that no kind of arguru*-. i
could induce theciti/.en where such sys
tem prevails to accept the drawbacks
and embarrassments of the old system.
To sum up the whole matter, the. jkt
sotial labor system of maintaining the
public roads is a travesty and a failure.
It has been tried everywhere and has
never succeeded anywhere, it mav bo
safely asserted that since the foundation
of the American government there has
never been a single mile of stru tly first -
class road built and maintained under
this system. It is a blot upon our civi
lization, a scourge upon the in
dustry of the farmers and upon every
town surrounded by farming lands.
It is the most expensive to maintain, the
least efficient in its uses, and it produces
a road the most exasperating in its nor
mal condition of all the roads ever con
trived by the human hand. It is de
grading to the slate and to the citizens,
whose personal labor it demands in the
public service, for it is well to remember
that the only two classes of persons of
whom labor is exacted under statute law
in payment of an obligation to the state
are the farmers who work upon the pub
lic roads and criminals who perform
labor on the chain-gangs and in common
prisons. The farmer deserves a more
elevating, a more equitable and a moro
efficient law. Let us away with the old
system, and following the latter and
time-proved methods of other countries,
make the roads of Chatham county what
they should bo, and keep them in suitable
repair. K. A. Bi.andfohd.
THE KEY WHST FEVER.
It Is Only Dengue and Not Alarm
ing.
Key West, Fla., July 29.—1 note various
sensational reports sent out from Key
West hinting at the existence of yellow
fever here. These reports, while possi
bly not inspired by malice or evil intent,
are without the least foundation. The
cases of '‘dengue'’ fever reported devel
oped among the new companies of United
States troops who arrived here in the
spring from points north. I had a con
versation with Dr. J. Y. Porter. Florida’s
state health officer, in reference to it a
few days ago. and he stated that ho re
garded it more as a process of acclima
tion than anything else, and that there
had not been a single death and there
was not likely to be one.
Ho saw nothing in it to foreshadow a
malady or an epidemic. Key West is re
markably healthy at this time, and there
is no reason to suspect any epidemic of
any character this season. Should the
least suspicion arise the general public
will be promptly and fully informed by
Dr. J. Y. Porter and Surgeon Murray.

is about the sum which the Treasury of German)- will
probably be shortly called upon to pay, to gratify the
towering ambition of the ruling Monarch of the Empire
It seerhs that
Emperor William of Germany
is having anew crown made for himself, and is most
anxious to obtain, to be set therein, the new Cape dia
mond, weighing 971 carats, more valuable than the fa
mous Kohinoor, and believed to be
The Lanjest Diamond in the World.
It is known as the “Excelsior,” and is now deposited in
a massive safe of the Bank of England, having been
found last June in the mines of Jagersfontein, Cap
Colony, South Africa, by Capt. Edward Jorganson, the
mine inspector. This dazzling gem is
Fully *3 inches high, nearly 3 inches broad,
and is white, of a very slight bluish tint, with matchless
luster.
Just as the Emperor desires the finest on earth in
the way of jewels for his new crown, why should not
you,one of the Sovereign People of the United States,have
The very best procurable
in whatever you purchase, particularly when the article
is also the cheapest ever offered?
Vou love information, love learning, like to have a
silent prompter near at hand to post you at once, when
you find yourself “stumped” by not being able to answer
yourself, one of your family or a friend, concerning
something—manufactures, mining, mechanics, medicines,
geography, geology, geometry, chemistry, botanv, nat
ural history, or a thousand and one other subjects, in
quiries about which come up
Any day, every day and all day.
Hitherto you have been asked to pay from $4O to $l5O
for any sort of acceptable Encyclopedia. Now, we have
obviated all these difficulties by making an arrangement
to furnish to all our readers, everywhere, the verv best
work of this class ever published in condensed form,
supplying it at a purely nominal price.

room lor the volumes, or send the coupons and 10 cents in

notice, about what the volume contains, and that it does
contain, among the
80 Full-page Colored Maps,
covering every section of the globe, information about the
places before mentioned and thousands of others of which
you may be uninformed. Would it not be well to look
some ot them up? The large number of Astronomical,
Ethnological and other charts which, with the maps,
constitute a

search through many rare and costly volumes without
finding the great amount of learning condensed info this
masterh v ork, ready at a touch of the fin <r er and a
glance of the eye. Why not read, in the
Thorough Encyclopedia,
about the production of great diamonds like the Excelsior
