THE GAINESVILLE NEWS, WEDNESDAY MAY 21, 1902 Cbe Gainesville llew$. INDUSTRIAL Official Oreran City of Gainesville Gainesville, Ga., May 21, 1902. THE NEW ROAD LAW. Commissioners Wm. Hosch, J. R. Whaley and T. W. Staton, ac companied by Deputy Clerk W. B. Smith, made a visit to Monroe, Decatur and Atlanta last week to investigate the workings of the Alternative Road Law in Walton Dekalb and Fulton counties. The following statement for The News was prepared by Deputy clerk W. B. Smith at the sugges tion of the board: In Walton county they are work ing a hybrid system, made up from the old State Road Law, the Al- ternaiive Law and a special law made for that county, and while they have, as a general thing much better roads than Hall county, they are not building permanent roads as contemplated by the law. In Walton they have a chaingang force of nine persons, and this small number requires as many guards as the gang of 40 in De kalb. Walton county has levied nearly the full amount allowed by law, ever since they changed the system. ^ Fulton county’s chain gang is building a fine lot of permanent roads, but at what cost, we were unable to ascertain. The road from the City'-to East Point is macadamized and covered with chert, and has been in use for over eight years, and m that time there has not been one days work put on it. In hauling over this road, it is not how much your team can pull, but the question is, how much will your wagon hold up The roads in Fulton, throughout the county are worked very much after the old system, but all main thoroughfares are being macadam ized. In Dekalb county, the new sys tem was organized last year, since which time they have repaired all bad places in the roads, put in sewer pipe drainages and have now commenced to macadamize in "ear nest. They have a force of forty convicts which is handled by a superintendent and three guards. They own 18 mules, 5 road ma chines, a rock crusher and engine, and Judge Ragsdale, the Ordinary says that $5 per month feeds, clothes and furnishes guards for each convict. On the county farm they raise nearly all the for age needed for the mules and plen ty of syrup for all the convicts. It cost Dekalb county in round numbers $6,500 to purchase their equipment to commence work, and since starting they have op erated for just a little more cost than is Bpent by Hall county each year on roads and bridges. Our board . was well pleased with the workings of the system and if our people will only give their active support, not sugges tions, to our commissioners, the day is not far off when we will be proud of our roads, and will take pleasure in traveling over them. • Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat.

A writer in the New York Sun, who claims to know what he is talking about, says that the impression as to the wealth of United States senators is Ik* greatly exaggerated. He can name but a dozen members of the senate who are millionaires or better, and they and their approximate possessions are given as follows: William A. Clark, Montana. .$25,000,000 Thomas Kearns, Utah 10,000,000 John Kean, New Jersey..... 4,000,000 James McMillon, Michigan.. 5,000,000 S. B. Elkins, West Virginia.. John Dryden, New Jersey...

Depew, New York..., 2,000,000 Eugene Hale, Maine 1,000,000 There are few of the senators, and those mostly Southerners, who are de pendent on their senatorial salaries and what little they can pick up as they go along by their profession or otherwise.
