Avers the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
It is the farmer and the man of trade
who need the roads; the threat of in
vasion is remote to the point of ab
surdity. Yet the very farmer who is
landlocked, mudlocked by impassable
roads each spring, but fails to re
spond to an appeal to his interests,
may be the first to answer a call to
build good roads as a “war measure,”

That clams and oysters need clean
water in order to be fit for food is
perfectly well established. Dr. A. N.
Purdy, of Mystie, Conn., is presums
ably correet in his opinion that a
causative relation exists between
clams grown in water tainted with
sewage and the cases of typhoid fever
in that town. You cannot keep your
cake and eat it, too. Rivers used;
for sewer purposes are not the place
in which to grow clams or oysters!
safe to eat. |

! As a result of the vigorous came
paign against oleo in Philadelphia, it '
is announced that the demand for the |
material has been cut down the past |
year, The State Commissionere, notes
the American Cultivator, have visited |
225 hotels, restaurants and boarding |
houses, collected samples, and prose- |
cuted the “managers wherever oleo
wag found to be sold or served as
butter. At one time the oleo trade
was very active in Philadelphia be
cause of a combination among large ,
distributers and many of the dealers |
for distributing the product, but the
vigilance of the State officials has
thoroughly broken up the business of
substitute selling. One hundred and
forty prosecutions are pending in the
courts and many fines and sentences
have been imposed; a good lesson to
tricky dealers elsewhere. |
Fiction is declining as poetry has
declined, laments the Christian Reg
ister, There are no continuers of
Jane Austen, or even Mrs. Gaskell,
“Pride and Prejudice,” “Mansfield
Park,” and “Emma,” and Mrs. Gas
kell's “Cranford” still stand alone,
examples of the simple, common life
filled with everyday people, such as
we all know, have loved and laughed
at and with and wept over, people en
tirely themselves, without exaggera
tion or pose. You may say the im
mortal youth of Jane Austen is a
wonder of literary history. Some
there are who call her hopelessly dull
“and uninteresting, but such a judg
ment leads us at once to condemn
the critic. Nothing can shake her
from her pedestal in the affections of
her lovers. It is this deeply humans
tinctured fiction, this true contems
porary record of men and women
taken not by flashlight, but by piain
daylight, that the world after its dee
bauch of sensationalism would now
welcome, sick, as it may be judged,
"of the labyrinthine, purposely obe
scure, and the too transparently iy
decent.
Greatly Exceeds Supply--1,437
Overs Have Been Asked For.
Prison Commission Prepares Table
Showing That Counties Will Take All
Convicts State Can Supply.
Atlanta, Ga—Secretary (Goodloe
Yancey of the prison commission has
compiled a table of the counties thart
; have made requisition upon the state
for felony convicts, to be worked on
the public roads after April 1, 1909,
when the lease system will expire,
The table is interesting and estab
lishes beyond the shadow of doubt
that the demand will far exceed the
- supply, |
Jifty-four counties have made for-}
mdl application, and the following |
summary is based upon their requisi<f
tions: |
Total number of convicts wanted,
1,855, |
Actual number counties are (sntille(lf
to under quota, 448, j
“Overs” desired by the 54 counties,
1,437. !
In other words, the 54 counties want
88 per cent of all the convicts the
state expects to have in the peniten
tiary next April, |
The number of “overs” requested is
58 per cent of the whole number to
be disposed of under the law.
Of the 54 counties heard from 42
want their quota and more, whllet
only 12 ask for their quota alone, ‘
. Chatham and DeKalb counties are
the biggest bidders. The former, un
der its quota, is entitled to 71 con- |
viets, and it wants 129 men to make’
the total number 200. DeKalb county
is entitled to only 21 men, but she’
wants 1779 “overs,” so as to have|
a road gang of 200 men, |

STATE FACES BiG DEFICIT, ‘
Incoming Administration Confronted
by Serious Problem of Debt. l
Atlanta, Ga.-—~-When the new state‘
administration assumes charge of af
fairs next June, it will face one of
the most colossal financial deficits in
the history of Georgia.
Captain R. E. Park, state treasurer
of Georgia, estimated that the deficit
confronting the treasury will not be
less than SBOO,OOO, and may reach
$1,000,000,
Provision to meet this burden, in ad
dition to the regular state budget of
something like $5,000,000, must be]
made by the Joseph M. Brown admin
istration, and the legislature which
meets next June. Just how it is to
be done is causing deep apprehension,
on the part of the lawmakers,
The cause of the concern of the al

The state department of entomol
agy, after four years of experiment,
hag succeeded in producing a hybird
type of cotton which resists the rav
ages of the black root fungus, gener
ally recognized as the worst of all
colton pests, with the gxception of the
boll weavil which lflo’tkfiown in
Georgia. It has taken long and expen
sive geries of experiments to preduce
this resistant type, but this important
work has at last been aecomplished,
and the department announces that it
has a limited amounbol?thg.seed on
hand. Samples of the seed will be sent
to reprecentalive farmers throughout
the state, their names hel% neces

great success.
f According to a list compiled by Sec
|retury Goodloe Yancey of the prison
commission, between sixty-five and
seventy counties have applied for con
victs under the new law to the num
'ber approximately of one thousand
‘eight hundred. The counties which
‘have already sent in requisitions for
convicts number only about half of
those in the state, aad do net include
Fulton and many of the larger coun
ties, From preseent indications the
2,500 felony convicts of the state will
all be employed upon the public roads
of the various counties and there,will
be no “overs” to dispose of.

Savannah has developed what ig
thought to be a brand new swindle, It
is nothing more nor less than the col

scheme seems to be to watch the col

}where new arrivals live and to then
present themselves as city tax collec

Tiedeman will make an effort to have
these petty crooks run down.

i
| New Orleans, La.—lt was a heavy
!price in human flesh and blood that
| was paid for the errors of railroad
| trainmen when a Great Northern ex
| press crashed into the rear of a New
| Orleans and Northeastern local at Lit
| tle Wocds station, a fishing and hunt
;lng camp on Lake Pontchartrain, 12
! miles from the city,
2 Elevefl dead and many more injured,
I some of them fatally, is the record of
| the wreck, which was attended by un
]usually gruesome scenes in the for
’ bound swamps of the lake shore. To
! add to the horror of the situation, the
| wreck caught fire, and only the heroic
| work of the surviving passengers pre
’ vented the cremation of those pinned
' down in the debris,
- No one on the Great Northern Ex
| press was seriously hurt, but thosef
iaboard the Northeastern local were |
- not so fortunate, The nocse of the big |
:express engine had torn its way en- |
tirely through the two rear coaches
- of the local, and the crash and the |
sound of splitting timbers was follow- 1
ed by the wails and groans of those |
- pinned down in the wreckage wrought 1
by the passage of the huge engine, |
Little Woods has no telegraph sta
tion, and serious delay was experienc- |
ed in getting a telephone message to ;
New Orleans. Even then it was two
hours before a rescue train arrived, 1
and in the meantime the scenes |
around the smouldering wreck were
heartrending, /
When the rescue party reached Lit-’
tle Woods the scene that met thelr;
eyves was one of terror, desolation, |
death. The wreck had caught fire |
and the first efforts of the passengers
and the few fishermen and hunters |
lounging around the Lake Pontchar
train camp were directed toward sub- |
duing the flames, lin this they had |
been partially successful, but little i
succor had been given to the badly |
injured and ceveral of those died |
while lying beside the smoldering de- |
bris. Rude bandages had been bound |
about their wounds in an effort to;
stop the flow of blood, and in many I
instances the later examination of the |
railroad surgeons showed that mores
than one life had been saved in this |
‘manner,
None worked harder than the wom
en passengers in this crude surgery.
Tearing up underskirts, they hastily
bathed the wounds of the injured and
swathed them in bandages that stop
ped the flow of blood. It was the men
who tore the cushions from the re
‘maining seats of the wrecked coaches,
but it was the women that ‘tenderly
laid out the injured upon them and
gave their attention to mursing until
