The question of that much needed retaining wall around the Court House was diacuaspd, a committee from Daughters of the Confederacy ap- rlng before the Board to urge this step. The lot is being badly washed, and no sodding or other improve ments could be done until the dirt already dumped on the site around tho Confederate monument was re tained. It is hoped by everybody that there will be no further delay in this matter by the Commissioners, and as soon ns an engineer cau make out au estimate the unfinished work on this county property will be completed. Commissioner T. H. Adams will soon, begin work on the section of the Buehanan road front the city limit to railway crossing south of Mr. L. H. Poole’s residence, and on the Cave Spring road from the city limit reaching out beyond the residence of Capt. J. A. Peek. These two roads certainly need improving, and Mr. Adams wants a number of teams for hauling the gravel just as fast ns the farmers can turn loose their crops.

The Williams disfranchisement 1*111 to eliminate the ignorant or venal ne gro from the politics of Georgia, has been made a special order in the Sen ate tomorrow, and will doubtless ppss promptly. By all means, the Legislature should pass the bill against narcotic drugs. There is really more danger from their habitual use than from that of liquor. Unless it is passed, there will ibe an alarming Increase in this habit when Georgia cuts off the booze supply. A UAHII.

Every one knows that in using field glass it is necessary to adjust it to a proper focus. Suppose that you put one of the tubes at your focus and the other tube at a focus that suited some one else and then you looked through both tubes. You would have a more or less blurred vision, and If you kept on looking the chances are that you would feel giddy and get a headache. Now, the two eyes are sup posed to have an equal natural focus, and when by any chance that focus is unequal a headache results.

You must realize the fuct that not to treat with the owners of the property to hold open this street as far as the Hollo way lot means that in no event will it he ever more than the lane it now is. while if n Recent width were main tained up to the point indicated, fu ture conditions might make compara tively easy and at small expense the opening to and across College, and so through the now vacant and unpro ductive property west of Bradford al ley, to the Junction of Prior and Fur nace, bringing this property Into use and service to the city and citizen owners. The writer heard a citizen say that if this strip could be had for $100 he would buy and deed it to the city, and he meant it, too. At a time when the street suggested, In its entirety, could have been laid out for a mere pittance it was urged that it be done, but Council was timid—both to incur expense, or to subject itself to criti cism; and so conditions exist which can be remedied only in the way sug gested.
