Two ridges of earth are thrown up with a road machine at the required width from each other and the space between filled with a six-inch bed of saw-dust. This is followed with a smaller machine, which plows up and mixes the earth with the sawdust. This makes a roadbed on which the tires of the heaviest loaded vehicle make no impression. The con¬ tractor has kept an accurate ac¬ count of expenses in connection with this section of sawdust and earth road and says the cost ag¬ gregates $237 a mile, showing it to be about the cheapest road mate¬ rial in use. The road, besides, is durable. The News has seen the statement that two such roads built in Geor¬ gia twenty years ago are now in good condition.—Dawson News. Representative Vinson, of Bald¬ win county, announces his intention of introducing a bill providing for the division of the school funds be¬ tween the races proportionate to the amonnt of taxts paid by them. The proposition has several times been made. It is rather a dan¬ gerous thing to begin dividing the school funds in this way. Suppose some one next introduced a bill to divide it between the counties in proportion to their taxes. Where would some of the counties be? The question, of course, has more than one viewpoint to it, and no doubt the introduction of such a bill will bring a thorough threshing of the arguments in its favor and against it.—Ex The Washington Post insists that no sentimental reasons will ever lead this country into participation in a war between England and Germany. The United States will fight only when its national honor or interest is imperiled. It will ever draw the line against being entangled in a war in which the American people have no direct national interest. Sentimentally it must not be forgotten that we have a tremendous population that would incline to Germany rather than to Great Britain hi a struggle between those nations.—Ex. —We make a specialty of ice cream milk shakes and lemonade. Parker’s place.—tf. When, you Estimate the price of a gallon of paint is of no account. What’s in it? There’s the rub. The most-gallons paint is three-quarters not paint at all.
